@Paul Murphy stfu he does this all day it’s hard work because it’s so boring and requires constant concentration
A few tips for you deady, store you’re water drum on top of the exhaust catwalk all day, then You will have warm water to have a wash on an evening, also keep an open bottle of water in the footwell it will keep moisture in the air and stop the night heater drying your mouth out while you sleep 👍🏻
Nice one mate! 2 good tips there pal! Appreciate it!
Belting tips there mate! Cheers! Appreciate it!!
Good tips
And buy a proper urine bottle. Makes a huge difference.
@@colinjs71 you can get one from a hospital with a lid on if you ask nicely enough ; )
People like you are our unsung heroes delivering essentials to everyone.
Must be so difficult not being able to see your family for long periods
Keep on doing what you’re doing and working hard, don’t put yourself down.
I get what you say about you're just a normal bloke who happens to film himself at work. But the thing with you is you're really watchable. Honest, down to earth and a good laugh. Proper.
Thanks a lot mate! Really appreciate it!
ive driven for 21 years i keep my self to myself .just do the jobb and go home at the end of the day .i dont need to know anybody else doing the job .my family are whats important
True mate
Well said
Eexactly what I did until I had enough dosh to chuck it in for semi retirement.
trucker g, arrr no mates.
Thanks to this lockdown, I have had a lot of time on my hands, so have taken up a new hobby of watching these trucking vlogs. I spent 34 years driving trucks, most of them on distance work. Deady, you have brought back a lot of fond memories, so many thanks. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot mate! Glad you enjoyed it buddy!
Well done bud, I've only just seen your videos as I'm looking at getting my HGV and your true grit down to earth videos are exactly what I needed. Legend keep on trucking
Fair play to all the trampers, as a class 1 driver I decided to stayed on local class 2 as i like my own bed too much & Finding somewhere to park and a restless noisy night wasn't for me. Great video showing the "average" 15 hour day . Enjoyed.
Cheers buddy this really helped me out to see what life is like in the eyes of a trucker. I love camping, so this lifestyle is right up my street. Thanks for the insite into your life 👍
But camping you chose where to park! I could barely get any sleep, too much outside noise, loud vehicles,a fridge will park next to u! Try and sleep on a summers day(if in work ngts) in a cab with windows up! Good luck and all that, but the excitement soon disappears!
Get a fan? Lol
Good to see you back Deady, and sorry to hear you've been having a few problems.
If you need to spend more time with the family when you get home at the end of the week, then that is exactly what you must do. Family first, work and stuff to do with work much further down the list.
On this job, over the years I've been doing it, there's no shortage of people to tell you how you should do it, or your way's wrong. You hit the nail right on the head, and I loved what you said about, if they don't like the way your showing how to do something, then go and make a video of their way. I've been driving a bit longer than you, when I first learned to do things, the kit we used was a bit different, so of course newer drivers will do things slightly different to the routine we do. There's nothing wrong with watching how someone else does something differently, may pick up a few tips for when situation demands.
You're a good lad Deady, and if I saw you out and about, I'd want to come up and shake your hand, not coz your a celeb but because your a downright decent guy that makes good and helpful TH-cam content about something I also do and am interested in.
Regards to yourself and the family, David.
He is a good lad for sure .
This is the first video I've watched of yours, how can anyone hate on you. You're a proper northern guy full of Northern passion for yourself, your family, your job and your TH-cam. Keep it going fella. Regards from Manchester.
Nice one mate! Appreciate your positive comments.
I often watch the videos Deady but I rarely comment. I still find you're passion for the job infectious and I think it's great you take a break for the reasons you have given. Also good call on the folk who say they would do it differently / do it better.
I'm 3 months into my driving after 20 years of a desk job and these days I look forward to Monday's. I'm a grumpy old bastard though so I quite like being on my own for the day :-) which means it suits me pretty well. I'm also not doing loads of nights out so I manage to balance the family stuff nicely.
Carry on as you are mate, the videos are a joy to watch.
Thanks a lot mate! Im the same mate, i love Mondays. Sat in cab listen to what i want and watch the world go by. Lovely 💚
As a newly passed class 1 driver yet to go out on the road but with 10 years experience driving class 2 you give a good insight to what it's like to handle the nerves. Really great vlogs mate.
I don’t know how people can moan about if you’re doing things right or wrong. I’m grateful you go out of your way to make these videos, we don’t need to pay for these, they’re completely free! Thank you Deady. 👍🏻
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the positive comment
Thank you for all your effort putting these vlogs together.
Just watched your vlog “you’ll only ever drive vans” that you did a while back. Have been watching your vids since you started them. At that time I had just passed my class 2, around 2 months before you did. Gotta say Gareth you are by far the best vlogger I have watched on TH-cam. You give great content and real life situations on the road. You seem to be like me, a real people pleaser but sometimes you have to put your foot down (so to speak) and say no more to these people that criticise you. You have done that pal and have achieved what you set out to do. Keep up the great stuff you are doing. You have a fellow trucker behind you all the way. From Tom J.
Thanks a lot mate! Appreciate your comment buddy 😁
Deady, great informative video for people like me that are just doing there class 1 training. Do it for the novice. Keep them vids coming mate .
Another awsome video. Watching your content makes me look forward to my future once I get my class 1. Passed my class 2 and then everything shut down. So just waiting on everything starting off again and content like this makes me realise I am going to be much happier in time to come once I'm out on the road doing stuff like this. Loved the longer video. Came home from work ordered food and me and the mrs both sat down to watch it haha
You will love it mate.
Its actually so hard to drive these long distances consistently, big respect
Just discovered the channel, I love the guy’s charisma and I love how interesting it is to be a lorry driver.
Thanks a lot mate!
Thanks for the videos Deady. Just keep doing what you're doing, it's your channel, and if people don't like anything, they can go watch something else.
I get what you mean about the job being boring. I drive for an organic fruit and veg farm doing multi drop in a van, I do the same 4 routes each week (Tuesday - Friday) and it bores the hell out of me, I know all 400 drops a week without the need of a satnav and it's monotonous.
Hopefully in the next few months I'll be getting my class 2 licence as I want to be on the road more, and not be in and out of a van a hundred times a day.
Look forward to the next video. 👍👍
Great video. There are people out there who don't like people being honest and all they want to do it moan and cause trouble. You have got so much better now at reversing and it shows. It is nice to see a day of trucking and the pains you have to got through.
Cracking video as always pal. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Saw and flashed you twice on Wednesday as well, cheers for flashing back!
Top man! 😊 Cheers
I watched this by chance and its funny that I started recognising the roads. That's Wrexham where I grew up. I also agree with you that roundabouts are dangerous in hgv. I swear, 50% of car drivers have no clue how to navigate a roundabout, especially moreso if there are more than 2 lanes.
Well that was an great honest vlog. Sums you up well m8" take no notice of the doubters. Just do what you are doing, be your self.
Thanks a lot mate
this is a great video more than you can imagine, i think, helps a new starter tramper like myself and it has answered some of my question I had about some particular things, just keep at it with what u doing ( i know this vid is 3 yrs old and all but it still reaches people who need it like me) all the best to you deady and keep on keeping on
since playing ets2 and ats for a few years out of just randomness, its now my most played game.. with that it has brought a WHOLE new appreciation and passion for trucking, truck drivers and courtesy towards them on the road.. and most importantly.. understanding they have a load. (im a white van driver too.. but its a transporter t5 kombi) 😎😎 thank you brother!
That tyre looks amazing !!!
Cheers m8 learning so much ,thankyou.
Cheers buddy
Good to have you back Gareth, you really are a breath of fresh air in this business. I have been in isolation from the start and you have allowed me to get out and about in virtual shotgun riding,cheers mate.No matter what anyone says,you are a star Gareth,nice to see Dazzer there too.Best wishes to you and the family.Stay safe and keep on truckin'.#thumbsup.
Cheers buddy! Glad you enjoyed it mate!
I'm a class 2 driver and I've been looking at moving to classed 1 I found your channel by chance and I'm well impressed keep up the good work mate and stay safe
Hey deadly I'm currently a London bus driver looking to get my hgv and this video has been very helpful thanks
I’d love to see you doing some continental Europe trips that would be awesome
Hi deady,just wanted to say thanks for your videos I’m a class 2 driver and I will be a class 1 someday,I’m trying to watch as much as I can from different bloggers to take in as much as I can so keep up the good work pal.
I stumbled across your video, I'm in the process of driving lorries, I just want to learn from people like you and thank you for putting up these videos. I can't wait to be on the road and I hope I will cope with the challenges I might face as a lady lorry driver.
Hi Deady.
Im not a trucker. I just enjoy watching your video's. I've learned a lot by watching them. That's why if I write a comment, I just say I like it. It's not for me to chritasise how you drive the truck as I don't know the first thing about driving one. If it wasn't for truckers we'd be in a right mess. Don't think some people realise that.
Your doing a good job.
Thanks a lot mate!
Son!!!!! Absolutely brilliant video matey. One of thee beat truck vlog videos I've watched, and I've watched a whole lot of them.
When you hooked back up to your trailer, the blue low loader next to it was one of ours. Formula truck stop looks amazing and will definitely be paying it a visit soon.
Keep up the outstanding work and f**k every single one of the haters. Its only jealousy anyhow.
R u deadys dad
Thanks a lot Dad! I did check out that Low Loader, i was tempted to nick it and run it to Runcorn & pretend i was one the the WS Boys 😂😂
How was Formula??
Fuck ned he talks to a doll luke c cant do job that's why he gone on class twos road legends never dringy good mate so fuck em
From a old lorry driver who worked for ARC. WIMPY and TARMAC never made a fortune for years of work I am 72 and drive a van now to keep the pennies coming in.All the best to you I hope you do well,I never see much of my family either.
Brilliant comment m8 . 👍
Great video! I’ve always been curious about what it must be like and it was a great watch... driving that truck must be cool AF 👍🏻 shame about those negative people trying to bring you down, take it as a compliment as if you weren’t doing something to make them feel inferior then they wouldn’t need to talk bad about you! Keep fighting the good fight bro
This has been amazing to watch, I really want to retrain as a HGV driver
10:54 that's one of our trucks going the opposite way, could even have been me on my way to Ash Skips on Wrexham Industrial Estate 🤔😂
Remember when me bro was tramping all week last year now he’s gone for the recovery work always wonderd what it was like being out all week so thanks for that video I’m on a contact so I Do the same route every night so I’m looking at changing soon 👍👍👍
I think you do a great job and I love your attitude and how you find joy in the job. Don't let idiots get you down. You crack on fella and do the job how you're trained and what works for you. You are doing awesome mate!!!! :D You're also a great guy!
Thanks a lot mate! Really appreciate it
Constructive criticism here Deady... less milk in the coffee lol. Another brilliant video mate 👍🏼👍🏼🚛🚛
and less sugar 😂
Tee nooooooooo! I like me coffee warm, not red hot lol! Like it sweet aswell ❤️
Holy fek , far too much milk 🥛 🤣🤣🤣
Love the videos Deady! Even my girlfriend can't help but chuckle at how funny you are - especially the "hot shower shot" :P Keep it up mate, you're inspiring young people such as myself in to the industry.
Haha! Cheers buddy!
Tbf I'm here as I'm looking joining the industry during this driver shortage... So far the video has been a good look into what my days may become :)
@@steviewooADHD Do it! I passed my Class 2 in September, started my new job 3 weeks ago and I'm loving it; I reckon it's the best job I've ever had
hia deady,thats probs the best truckers vlog ive seen,it was very educational,watched it from start to finish,very interesting to see how u showed the changing of trailers and the procedures thats required,same it wasnt longer,thanks very much n looking forward to ur cab tour,stay safe n keep on trucking
Thanks a lot mate!
Welcome back mate, really enjoyed the vlog. Good to see a day in the life of, see you in the next one.
Cheers mate!
That was my first HGV trucker vid and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very informative and a good insight into the lifestyle. Keep up the good work bud
Cheers mate!
Love watching the vids and as someone who’s just getting back to lorry driving after years off, I really appreciate your vids man !
This is the first of your videos I've watched as I'm looking to join the industry. I watched every second and you have a new subscriber here! Keep it up. Love it! And stay safe, thanks for all you do!
My bro in law drives for Mulgrew, great to see their wagons lurking. He leaves home in NI on a Sunday afternoon and gets back on a Friday evening and has done it for years. It's not the easy life some people seem to think it is. Maximum respect to all you lads and lasses out there on the road.
My old mans 73, when i was in my very early teens, he regularly drove to the middle east, Saudi, Iran, Turkey. He’d be a way for 6-7 weeks at a time. (Ashtran)
No power steering in the trucks then, fridges, aircon, and all the luxuries a lot of the trucks have today. I’m 52 now and wish i’d done my HGV.
Go for it mate if your health is in good enough order! Never too late for a change
Wish I could do something like that, fuck off somewhere really really far away
People are pissed off with you because you give YOUR views on the industry and not THEIRS? Ignore them. It's your vlog and your opinions, not theirs, so they can do one! I do hate to have to point something out that you did wrong, but you said you watch Friends, and not Bottom. I forgive you though!
I watch Bottom also :) I love it haha! But i love Friends more hahaha!
Great video mate. I think if I could do it all again I'd try to be a long distance lorry driver. It really appeals to me. Keep up the great vids so the rest of us can live through you haha.
I like what Rusty78609 says: "I do me. You do you." It seems that people want to make everyone else do and think what they do and think. We call that "tyranny". Stay free. Keep on doing you. . .I'll keep on doing me. . . peace and harmony. . .happy days.
Cracking vid m8 hopefully doing my medical this week then crack on with the rest been in my job for 17 years and i hate it. Time to make the jump and do what i love and thats driving keep doing what your doing m8 i cant wait to get onto the road and enjoy working
Good luck buddy!
That security guard would soon regret rocking my cab at 5am.
I no what a prick 😤
Everyone knew what time they had to be up. Its a business aynt it trucks coming and going, can’t park up there all morning 😂
love your vids bro - I am planning to start vloging daily like you once I start my 1st dat at work as a class II driver. I feel inspired by you lad.
Just started to wacth this video. Fellow truck driver myslf over here in the west of Ireland doing house hold oil deliveries.really enjoy these videos.its a lonely life sleeping out for the week.no truck driver is thick we all have our own jobs to do some are better to adapt than others.and i agree with you haulage industry every1 is undercutting every1 when we all do the same we should be pulling together 😊 keep up the videos il be keeping an eye out for them 🤙
I’ve just done a 56 hour drive time + all the extra hours loading unloading. Am knackered now
Next week will be just 34!!
Short week this week then buddy? I’m upto 74 for the 2 weeks.
I drive 60-62 hours a week
@@MrSchmekker
How does that work, I thought HGV drivers were only allowed to do 90 hours per fortnight ?
@@BillSikes. sorry, I mean work those hours. Only drive about 35-40 per week
Sod the rest, lone wolf is always king
Brilliant video my man! I've been binging on your vlogs for a good while now as I'm pretty much certain that I want to begin a career as a HGV driver. I did used to drive buses but came away from it due to the hassle from the general public kinda fucking with my mental health, getting yelled at, threatened and told to kill myself a couple of times by people that were angry over such trivial things. But the driving part was fine. My favourite days were the ones where I'd just be taking buses out of service to different depots so I think becoming an HGV driver would be the best step for me and your videos have given me so much insight into it. Thank you so much man! All the best to you!
Get yourself a jetboil mate, you'll thank me for it 😉
Nah, not interested in that mate. Seen them, not worth it for me. Thanks though buddy
Try Alpkit Brewkit Wolf... 1\2 the price of jetboil & just as good... Does a brew and also big enough for boil in the bag stuff too...
Love the vids just wondering If you haven’t already can you do a video on how to work the tacho.
There's not much i can show you because i don't know how it works myself haha!
Deady 2012 ok mate no problem love watching the vlogs shows me what expect once I’ve passes my test.
Jason Jewell ok mate thank you 👍
Another great video. Interesting seeing what you do. Seemed to have cracked the reversing! Keep’em coming. #keepingitreal #thumbsup 👍😀🏴
Thanks mate!
First video of yours I've seen I'm only 20 minutes in and I can say three things, you're a great driver, you shouldn't put yourself down you're class, and finally I'm now subscribed.
Thanks a lot mate! Appreciate it!
I'm looking into this as a career change after a long time out of work due to problems with my mental health, this video has given me more of an idea what it's all about, thanks.
Good luck in making the desicion Bro!
Throw abit of coffee in with that milk lad
Currently learning my class 1+2 under new legislation. Your videos are dope man. Thanks for all the hard work man. Thanks for all the other videos as well. The mod 2 CPC is confusing the hell outa me 😂 but your videos are helping me massively!
From one content creator (mines more off TH-cam) to another. Smashing work mate!
Been a long time since I did any tramping. It's not changed lol. Every part of that video rings true. Pleased you spared the Carrier Bag and newspaper scenes! 😉! Refreshing delivery style of vlog..... keep up the good work. Constructive comment fella....get some fresh fruit n veg down ya. 💪. All the best.
no wonder you saying you getting bored of the same road hope you do not go into tunnel vision I'm a bus driver its hard to make sure i don't go into tunnel vision when i do the same route day in day out
I’m a bus driver for first in Cornwall,30 years .... I’m so bored,HELP 🥺
I'm. Bus driver it dog shit
And yeah I’m trying to be a hgv driver like you when I turn 18, in a years time so can you help me 🤲🏾
Try another profession mate . Then when you are older you made try truck driving.
@@mindstate1 in Australia we need young blood -It's all Older Generation and now the Indians are moving from Falcon Taxi's to frieghtliner trucks. If he is mature let him get in before he starts a family
I have meet bloke driving car transporter who was 23. He started with a ridgid from age of 19. I am 21 and doing my licence, so it's possible but, believe me its not a job for someone reckless (young). I have done driving as a job for past year but it wasn't lorries so I am bit anxious and other most important thing is insurance and experience. 1. Most companies won't insure you until you are 25. Experience is hard to gain as it's harder to find a job due to young age, you take whatever job is given to you and gain experience before you can look for something better.
Like some some other chap advised you, look for other profession until mid 20s.
Really good video
Great look into a day of trucking
I'm having my medical next week with theory to follow
This has explained a little more into what i could possibly be doing in the future 👌👌
Brilliant I’m getting my medical next week and you’ve made it easier to decide what I’m getting myself into to Cat 1 C+E class one long distance
The time has come, great video thanks.
You are spot on man! Top bloke, love your uploads. Keep on keeping up.
I've got my Theory in December and my mums helping to pay for my lessons for C2 then C1. My dad was a HGV Driver, I am following his steps even though there is a lot of people trying to push people away from truck driving, it's what I want to do, I want to work alone, I work in retail now but want to go solo and it's the only industry that I want to be in.
Your an inspiration and although working in tramping is like going to the Army because you don't see home enough you are providing a service and providing food on the table for your family and money in the bank to live a good life.
Thanks Deady for showing pure dedication, a subscribe from me.
Nathan
- UPDATE
Got my Theory.
great vid as usual mate...backin ups gettin there... all about confidence...say safe
First time watching you..and keept it till the end, this is very interstring to watching👍🏼 lovely vid !
Brilliant video mate, enjoy your banter, and sence of humor. And you've cracked the reversing malarkey.
Cheers buddy
Hi Deady...
Hope you're well. Brilliant video, and a good insight. I'm female and in my 40s. Waiting for my provisional to come back from DVLA for class 1 etc. Can't wait to start my journey (So to speak. 😄) I'll watch more of your video's. Thank you. 😊 Any hints or tips greatly received. 🤗
I really enjoyed this video, shows a different side to life with the job you do. Keep it up and ignore the noise out there!
Really good video thoroughly enjoyed watching it at the start I thought hell that’s long but really enjoyed watching 🤙🏼👍🏻
Really enjoyed this.... informative and entertaining, thanks... plus you seem like a top bloke!
hi Deady, I have accidently come across your channel and so glad I have, I am a leg amputee and my son has learning disabilities and we love the fact that you show us what its like to be on the open road, That Formula One truck stop looks amazing, my uncle was a tramper for a company called mcdawells and he said its a fantastic job just challenging on your body and mind, Subscribed and will get my son too
I've a driving assessment tomorrow for tipper work on class 1, I've subscribed , appreciate your vlogs/uploads.
Although not a fan of long vlogs you made a great one here fella. You are right about the fact there should not be rivalry between groups be it vloggers or otherwise we are all in a job of driving lorries. That was fantastically clean at Formula, nice to see that. Due to your love of Pheasants I did actually upload my Pheasant Fry up video the other day don't worry it's OK for all ages! Well done on the 11k subs too. Regards from an old driver!
Thanks a lot mate! I lost a star out to a phezz yesterday. Hahaha
Watching this video proves how much respect lorry drivers deserve. I am looking at doing my C or C+E so I can also drive. Hoping to be out on the road soon!
Your reversing has come along massively! Top man🍻
Thanks buddy
Been think for a while about lorry driving, thanks for giving me an insite into it
Good to see you back
Just watched this video and from all the vloggers I've watched I've not seen one do a video like this in so much detail. I learned alot from this one and really enjoyed it. Those services were were bloody good too
Thanks mate 😊 Ellesmere is awesome! Haha
Just keep doin what ya doin fella for your family & the luv of the job ya do & keep on trucking Deady 💖👍 my ol man wad a st helens lad & drove for Smith of Maddiston in the 60s&70s
