No.
There is nothing romantic about the work, and never was.
Although the longest delivery distances are usually shorter in Britain than on a continent like Europe or the USA, the main roads and motorways are usually all very busy most days, adding to the stress.
When the traffic is light, such as late at night, you can cruise easily and steadily along a motorway for mile after mile, cruise-control on the appropriate speed-limit - but then the stress is likely to come from still concentrating all the time despite the sheer tedium of the work. I suppose the US equivalent is driving across the Plains.
Depending on what driving you do, you can be away from home a lot, or working unsociable hours; but anyway always all with one eye on the speedometer / tachograph - whose record-card is a legal document.
The HGV drivers on our road network are not well served by rest-areas, public toilets, cafeterias or motels, either; except perhaps on the motorways; and many have to put up with parking in lay-bys and sleeping in their cabs - if the cab has bunks. The old transport-cafes formerly dotted along the trunk-roads have largely gone, thanks to losing traffic to the motorways. One I know was taken over by MacDonalds, which bars lorries from using it.
So no, I would not have liked to have been an HGV or delivery-van driver, and though I respect those who are as we all rely so much on the entire goods-transport industry generally, am glad I never was one!
