Hi Luke . Back in the old days we used ropes to tie down loads . On the back end and front end we did an X and a band across the back and front . But in those days we also had tarps on first . Take a look at old trucking videos of the 50’s. & 60 ‘s .all the best from Trucker AL retired Canada 🇨🇦🚛
Ingots: I would have put a pair of crossed straps on both of the "fronts" as you weren't against the headboard. The back would have been OK, If you had to break hard of worse, as you have it the ingots would be in your cab!!!
Hi Luke, I'm a truck driver in New zealand & our rules state that if the load isnt touching the headboard you must have twice the weight of the load in restraints ie 27ton load needs 54 ton of restraints or 22 × 2500kg straps, I personally would of cross strapped the front and rear of each group to stop them moving forward or backwards, but in saying that I cart on very rough hill roads, I would be interested to know the rules on retraining cargo are in the uk
Hi John . I see you had me covered on the loading . First thing I noticed was no cross straps on the back & front . Greetings from Canada trucker Al retired.🇨🇦
As a retired truck driver, I enjoy watching your video's, unlike some drivers out there, you have a nice calm attitude, I got suckered in on a clickbait with this one saying a high value load though, $59k is peanuts, I would think most of my loads would have been worth that much. I think my highest value load outside of pharmaceuticals would have been a Gillette from Germany to Reading, nothing fancy, just razor blades, but when they cost £8 for a blister pack at the supermarket, it isn't hard to work out that the load's value was in the millions of pounds. I did load bullion once as well, from Spain when they changed their currency from the peseta to the Euro, a full load of coins from Spain back to Wales, 24 tonnes and enough value to have a police escort right through Spain. Once I got to France, I was left to my own devices, I can't say I was happy about that TBH.
Glad to see you in another local area to me! The place you collected the ingots from is technically Norton Canes, I deliver shopping to people along that road frequently!
I felt they were sufficiently secure at the fronts. It was only the two little ones at the back I was protecting. But it is interesting to see what other people think
The only change I would have made is, on the set of ingots is a second on the last pack. Also, I would have done a second strap on the first row on the second pack as there is little support. I agree with the support strap on the back. When we tie down here in Canada we require a second strap on the last row on the second pack as there is nothing to support behind the last row
To get round that bridge you need to stay on m40 south and get off the next junction, it’s a bit of a mission especially if you have to deliver where you did, as your coming back on yourself.
Morning Luke, personally I would have used a couple of cargo nets over those ingots and parcelled the ends of both stacks over ,,the nets but make sure the nets are hand tight then strap as I've suggested , unfortunately I'm old enough to remember how to rope and sheet, hope that helps good luck and stay safe
Thank you Luke Enjoyed your video. And again very interesting. Love Lockdown. Watching yours and Martin videos. No Better way to Spend a Saturday night. Thanks again. Take care and Stay safe. And as always Safe Trucking.
I probably would have put a double strap on the back becuase surely it would shift a giant amount, plus the support of the double strap would keep the top layer from sliding as well as the bottom. Good vid, really like the google earth shots.
Yeah I'd of added the rear strap like as well, the strap over the top of the double stack wouldn't really be doing that much onto the single in terms of down force, so that extra strap will avoid the them sliding just fine. Personally I probably would of asked for the single stack to be in between two double stacks so they couldn't go anywhere, but maybe the driver hasn't much say on that or depending of the how helpful the forklift driver was!
Luke, you should have had a strap crossed front and back on both parts of that load, if you had to brake hard in an emergency the whole load would have kept going...
Talking about straps. IMO, you can't have enough. But, although I'm not a lorry driver, your axle on the rear of the cab, looks really down, but it may be the ground!
Hi Luke, you always need to be a little inventive on awkward loads not on the headboard, but personally, i would have done double diagonal strapping at the front of both parts and single straps over each row (including the last row). I have only found your channel recently ( in the last 2 weeks) and have binge watched pretty much all of your content. Great Video's, well delivered and explained. Some other vloggers do it their way, but you are up there at the top of the pile for me, plus i have also been enjoying 'Hayley' from her first vlog, i think she has done great and also has a great way of delivering her informative video's, in her 'newbie' style. Personally i am just waiting to get my updated C+E back from DVLA then hopefully getting back on the road after some years in other work, but Covid has put a stop to that for now. Great work, keep it up, stay safe. 😊😊👍👍
Instead of pretty much saying the same as the person before you. Just hit the thumbs up people . His straps were fine. I've hauled magnesium ingots a lot farther & faster plus over mountain passes with just wedged 2x4 on the front & back of load & they didn't move a inch in the box. This stuff is heavy & it's short haul on slow flat roads in the UK. You can bury the load in straps if you want but he had enough.
Lucky you didn't have rope and sheet like in the old days. I agree with other comments that there should have been cross strapping at front and back of both piles of pallets. I wonder why some pallets weren't on high Abdul all along the length of the bed? I'm sure the loader would have done so if you asked because you could have insisted.
i found a 2.5t ratchet on the road today stopped to pick it up then 5 minites further on found the strap, nothing in news of crashes so must of made it ok to destination - lucky driver me thinks and load must of moved quite a bit to lose it completly
Hi mate , in regards to your strapping I would have crossed front of both stacks that’s just my opinion though everybody has there own way and no right way is wrong as long as you the driver is happy then your good to go keep videos coming mate all the best 😁😁👍
I can see how well you strapped it but there should never be any gaps in the load. ie between the front & in the middle. If you hit something or braked hard the whole load would shift forward, the spansets would snap & worst case scenario the load could bust into your cab. If i was there i'd want the first 2 on the headboard then singles/doubles to the back of the trailer with NO gaps. I'm a grumpy old driver but if CPC etc. tells you this is how it should be done ignore them. I'd refuse that load or any load with gaps in it regardless of who told me otherwise.
Using Google Earth to show where you drop off, I've been watching "Justtruckin", who's a self-employed trucker in the US (North Carolina). His uses a drone to show the place he's dropping off, which includes him reversing to his designated door number, etc. The length of his truck (53ft) is pretty long :)
Ay up luke. I would of done the front like the back. And use your internal at the front crossed. And down the sides. You know what the DVSA are like. Drive safe pal. Russ in North Yorkshire 👍
End poles have always been a bloody nuisance and the aluminium rivets that hold the curtains fail, but they're better than the effing tilts, trust me, I'm a lorry driver. I always used to indicate right when I needed to reverse off the road, not many idiots would overtake a vehicle showing a right turn indicator. Then when all the traffic has stopped I turn across the road and before I clear I put the hazards on and make sure that I block both lanes. Then I know I'm safe to reverse. Trust me, I'm a lorry driver. Should always stay in the truck while being tared in and out by the weighbridge. Yeah, that's not the way to secure the ends of the loads, should've used two straps crossed rear and front. Of course we always rope and sheeted such loads, much safer but not many drivers know how to use ropes and sheets nowadays. I used to have to unload myself at Toyota in Derby, told part of the job so I had to use one of their fork trucks. Never did find out who's insurance policy I was responsible to but decided the job was not for me in the end and as there's loads of other driving jobs around and I could easily take my pick with my training certification I wasn't too worried. Keep trucking
I know exactly where you are on about I live local to Aylesbury more precisely in Bicester and I know the bridge you are on about on the a41 it's the first bridge on the a41 if you are going from Bicester towards Aylesbury happens all the time with wagons getting stuck under it funny that the truck that got stuck under it coincidentally has a fitting slogan on the side I went past that yard today and see one of the Harry's trucks in there
seems needless to have them stacked high with spaces like that, Why not do half height stacks and spread it more over the bed. I'd worry about that lot slamming through your cab if you need to emergency brake.
Agreed. I know Luke puts a lot of effort into his Vlogs and his editing is brilliant so to earn from his TH-cam Vlogs is only fair enough but the adds do my head in😏
About the strapping of the aluminium. You just strap your load down. So if you would have to break hard, wouldn't your load come forward then? Seems a bit dodgy to me... Or is it too heavy to slyde?
Each "row" weighed about 2.7 tonnes. each strap can hold 5 tonnes. the first row then could have 10 tonnes. it was sufficiently strapped at the front. My concern with the rear was that the single strap going over wasn't 100% over it so to be safe i added an extra.
I worked at a warehouse in Gloucester , we used to get terracotta garden pots in containers from Italy, they always got opened by customs , as they ping up radioactive on the same scanners . Border bods thought they had a dirty bomb 💣lol
Sorry, but if you had to brake in an emergency that lot would have been through the back of the cab. Trailer headboard would not stop it. Cross strapping is a must.
Evening Luke.....I hate it when the curtain pole does that, happened a couple of times to me in the last 12 months , never found a reason for it as the pole wasn't bent
Personally I'd have cross strapped each stack at both ends, along with your double over the tops. I can see why they don't 'cage' the Ingots due too £4£ onto trailer, but it seems stupid to me their not caged. Should have lowered the stack heights and spread it across the bed. Nice vlog either way, but man your looking knackered Luke, get back on tippers an into ya own bed at night 😁
I know nothing but I was thinking about an emergency braking situation and where all those ingots would go! Cross strapping each end of each stack definitely sounds like the best bet. Another good video Luke, keep it up!
Correct, you should always cross strap both ends and I would've asked for single stacks using all the bed from the headboard, with a six wheel unit it'd still be legal. Then any extra could've been stacked on top just just forward of the trailer running gear. But it don't matter that much. Swings and roundabouts as we say.
We have windows at the back and side of all our Units making blind side reverses dead easy. Don’t know why these aren’t fitted as standard across the industry.
In wouldn’t recommend anyone as it’s your choice if you do want to become a truck driver. Good points are your are to a degree your own boss, you don’t have managers breathing Down your neck, your not stuck in some boring office or factory all day, once you get some experience behind you you’ll never be out of work and driving the trucks today is a pleasure as their nearly all automatic no shifting up and down 12-13 gears all day, have air conditioning and climate control and are comfier now than they’ve ever been. Bad points are the money could be better, if you go tramping you’ll be away from home Monday to Friday and it’s long hours working 12 hours plus per day is a common thing in the HGV game you won’t be doing 9 till 5 so if you don’t like long hours and being away from home truck driving won’t be for you. You can get day jobs but tbh tramping is the only way to make any decent money.
Hi Luke nice. Good on you not to post that pic of the bridge incident. Why do other get off on other people’s misfortune? Couldn’t agree with you more, i wouldn’t do that either. We all make mistakes and it’s amazing how quickly people turn on those that do.
Been sub'd for ages but dont really comment. Been seriously considering a change of career, always loved trucks and the wage is extremely appealing, but have always been "put off" by family members. Do you think 32 is too late to get into it realistically? Thanks, all the best
I don’t think 32 is too late at all mate. Maybe people get into the industry for the first time well in to their 40’s and 50’s 🤙🏻 Cheers for subbing mate. Good luck for the future
Rob at 32 your still young. I didn’t get my Class 1 & 2 until I was 39. Been driving class one for 4 years now and love it. Long hours mate and be prepared to be away from home a lot but beats being stuck in some shitty factory or boring office all day👍
Hia luke, I have no experience with HGV Driving/Loading but i would've loaded them the same way you did because it seemed the most logical, also i just wanna add i really liked the google earth shots, Thanks for reading :P
@@MsWagons that’s funny because I know people with more experience than you and they would have done the same as I did. Everyday is a learning day Chris. Maybe one day I’ll be as good as you 🤙🏻
Why didn't you load the ingots one high instead of two high, the driver is incharge of loading not the forklift driver. The load would have been secured far better than what it was
14:41 They should sort that yard out so you can turn around on site! If you cause an accident while backing into that place then it's you in court when it should be them! Shocking 🤬
Lol get them to roll the red carpet out aswell! Peace of piss of a reverse no need to sort a turn point out on site....right indicator then bang the 4 ways on when crossing the lanes...simple as Luke proved
"2 cross straps on the front of the ingots in case of an emergency brake. Not a criticism but on the slate drop you didn't have a high Viz on . Keep yourself safe when there's public access around you.
Hi Luke, I like watching your films but can you tell me why you have to fast forward. Just for me it takes the enjoyment out of travelling along with you. is there a reason why you and the other boys cut short the films. Take care and be safe. Dave Poole.
feel just two many uk truck vloggers now start to boring same thing every week, wee Yorkshire trucker in us well worth a look something different uk vlogs gone dry at this stage

If you had a strap at the back why not have one at the front too. Although you had it double strapped there is lots of stress when you brake

not sure what it was but watching you super speed ratchet strap those ingots was hilarious
I was about to say the same lol

I can see how well you strapped it but there should never be any gaps in the load. ie between the front & in the middle.

Rob at 32 your still young. I didn’t get my Class 1 & 2 until I was 39. Been driving class one for 4 years now and love it. Long hours mate and be prepared to be away from home a lot but beats being stuck in some shitty factory or boring office all day👍
Hia luke, I have no experience with HGV Driving/Loading but i would've loaded them the same way you did because it seemed the most logical, also i just wanna add i really liked the google earth shots, Thanks for reading :P
@@MsWagons that’s funny because I know people with more experience than you and they would have done the same as I did. Everyday is a learning day Chris. Maybe one day I’ll be as good as you 🤙🏻
Luck why do you need your lights on all the time
It’s not if you can see, it’s if you can be seen
Nice video Luke, thank you 👍
Another great video.
I wouldve put that strap on the front, thats where stuff will fly, not backwards.
Ive always wondered with today's technology why they haven't mounted reversing camera's onto the backs of the trailers to help in tight spots.
Plenty of companies have reversing cameras on their HGV trailers.
@@StabStabStabStabby I wouldn't say plenty, its far from being normal. It needs to be standard kit for all trucks regardless of size imo.
Why didn't you load the ingots one high instead of two high, the driver is incharge of loading not the forklift driver. The load would have been secured far better than what it was
Just watched in full screen. Can see that they are banded into one lift so good job done
14:41 They should sort that yard out so you can turn around on site! If you cause an accident while backing into that place then it's you in court when it should be them! Shocking 🤬
Lol get them to roll the red carpet out aswell! Peace of piss of a reverse no need to sort a turn point out on site....right indicator then bang the 4 ways on when crossing the lanes...simple as Luke proved
@@hehlmr Didn't say anything about it being a difficult reverse did I 🙄
Thank you.
"2 cross straps on the front of the ingots in case of an emergency brake.
Not a criticism but on the slate drop you didn't have a high Viz on . Keep yourself safe when there's public access around you.
You sound like a H&S officer😂
@@matty6848 ha ha . Become a force of habit now . Never thought I'd say that a few years ago.!
@@williamfence566 lol i know it does. Mind you it pays to be good with H&S in today’s world👍
The camera moved while you were out of the truck creepy a haunted DAF.
Brilliant vlog u never disappoint in it vlog
Hi Luke, I like watching your films but can you tell me why you have to fast forward. Just for me it takes the enjoyment out of travelling along with you. is there a reason why you and the other boys cut short the films. Take care and be safe. Dave Poole.
