Have breakfast on Wttl.

Over the past four years Wttl’s presence at Truckfest has grown each year and we are visited by more and more drivers who have trained with us, either gaining a licence, renewing their ADR, taking their CPC to move into transport management or to become an owner operator.

This year over 1400 local drivers have already used us to take some, or all, of the newly required DCPC.

We would like to say thank you for your ongoing support and felt our industry’s premier local event would be a great place to do this. Please come to this year’s Truckfest enjoy a breakfast on us.


Ice Road Truckers & History™ are proud to be Associate Sponsors for this years Truckfest Peterborough.

Star of the show Alex Debogorski , will be in attendance at the UK’s largest trucking event here at Peterborough where he is looking forward to meeting you over the weekend. The larger-than-life Debogorski has become one of Ice Road Truckers’ most popular characters and is visiting Britain with his wife Louise to promote the 10 May DVD release of the popular show’s third season.

Last year at Truckfest Peterborough,  many of you were concerned about Alex as you had seen him forced to leave Season 2 early due to critical health problems – you will be pleased to know he made a full recovery and went back to face his toughest challenge yet; Alaska’s infamous and deadly Dalton Highway.

You can buy a copy of Season 3 signed by Alex, ahead of its official release date here at the show along with official Ice Road Truckers merchandise at the Ice Road Truckers stands where Alex will be stationed for most of the weekend.

A copy of the season 3 DVD may be purchased here

The system also allows drivers independent status, higher earnings and the ability to manage their own calendar. All of these factors combined help us overcome the imminent WTD and pay parity.
