Wow ! You 're great mate !! Couple times , ive held my breath lol ...nice one ! Fantastic watch ! Love from cornwall ......ha! Try driving down yer ?! With the holiday folk ....ill leave this to your imagination! 😂
Well thank you for the nice comment, glad you enjoyed it, and for me driving down Cornwall no chance 😆 I know exactly what you mean those roads are too narrow lol
@Anonymous-Kev too narrow and to full of chelsea tractors !! ...and when my tractor is on the road with trailer full of grass ....they get so nasty ..silly twits ! The grass being cut n hauled to put in a big silo to feed the cows in winter ...so these twits can have theur cornflakes lol ... My pet scare is cylists in exeter ! Like they have a death wish ! I spend more time looking down n over my off side than in sny other mirror!! They just fly by ...one held on to my trailer whilst going up hill in town centre !!! Yeah really i couldnt believe it ..twas a squeeze thro there mind ...scaffolders everywhere ! ...aced it tho ! Inches each side ! Proper job as us do say here. Keep up with yr vids mate ! Im inspired !! Thanks 😊
@Anonymous-Kev hi there my ansum ....tez a challenge for ee ?! ...A30 tez a breeze ....but anything else ha ha ...green signs yellow numbers ? Challenge ...its extra worse when emmits are down ...with their big shiny cars and motorhomes ....i ll park the thought there tee hee ...happy days lovely
Dude!!! The quality of your videos is insane! Really easy and fun to follow along, and a great show of the sheer skill you possess as an HGV driver. You're living my dream my man, not long until I can do it myself.
@@VectraVX this comment is powerful thank you so much, if I can make someone's day and maybe teach someone in a similar situation as a new HGV driver I'm happy.. 🙂
excellent driving and very entertaining well done. The only thing I will say the pedestrian crossing at around 16 mins 30 seconds is that he did look round and clock your lorry, he also has right of way under the new highway code rules.
I once wanted to be an internatina lorry driver in the 70s and do the Middle East runs, now I wouldn't consider it, far too nerve wracking (too old anyway). These guys/girls do a stirling job
A small tip when blindsiding activate you passenger main mirror and as you lose sight of the end of your trailer move the mirror outwards. Give it a try. Hope you don’t take offence at the suggestion.
It's a good suggestion mate I actually do it myself from time to time, I could see the trailer end it's just the camera couldn't as it's on SV (super view) Which gives it a fisheye look 😂
Will be easier once those trucks will start driving THEMSELVES WITH COMPUTER, and you can direct them with joy stick from home sitting on sofa eating your pizza😅😅
Good blindside but why didn’t you stay on left outside when you got there and reverse in on good side or even turn it in and then reverse on good side make life easier my friend but enjoyed the video first time viewer liked and followed
Yeah your right I could of done, it was my next step but I knew I'd be ok because of the size of the gates I was talking about how narrow it was near the shutter door at the end where thay wanted me, it looked narrow for me and a forklift to be down there but I was wrong 😆

That entrance. Why did you not get trailer in line with the entrance on turning. Instead of driving as if it was a 4 wheeler. Instead of driving for your camera drive learn how to drive properly first
Yep great vlog, good driving well done...... Vlogs could work better with a bit of content tell us where you and, where you heading, where you were when you had them great views etc vlogs would be a lot more interesting and would stop viewers skipping bits, I'm sure your vlogs will get better with time, for sure but still great vlog thanks 👍👍👍
Thanks John for the compliment, always trying to improve and share as much as I can lol, but it's not Easy to remember everything as a new youtuber 😂 but I'll give it my best from now on, thanks for the comment and the advice 👍
I do post in community chat for updates if you wish to check them out thank you.

First time viewer,enjoyed the video...a quick heads up about location when looking at that fantastic scenery would be helpful 😉
Thanks ray for the advice and welcome to my channel, I'll do just that next time am in a nice scenery but that location was woodhead A628 🙂

I’m glad I hung my keys up on the 31st of may.. 18 years was enough for me.. safe driving..
@@DennisShaw-lp4ku thanks dennis, yep not always easy out there lol
Good effort on that blindside kev
Thanks Danny 👍 wasn't sure if I could get it in one go 😂
I don’t get why he drove down on his good side to then blindside it in 🤔🤷♂️
What a town banker
Great job skill or what
Thanks 🙂👍

What would you do with out power stirring the mind boggles
Yeah definitely needed 😆
Will be easier once those trucks will start driving THEMSELVES WITH COMPUTER, and you can direct them with joy stick from home sitting on sofa eating your pizza😅😅
Lol, need that to come now, sound good that 😆
Snodland to Stalybridge.
It was 👍
Id rather a Bentley continental than a chav BMW m3 not classy😂
Definitely but each to there own really 😂 I would like and dream a Bugatti but I was just trying to abit more realistic that's all 😁
New M3 costs over £90k. I don’t think chavs own them tbh.
A lot of excuses there driver!
And you're not going to share them??? 👍
