Another great video Jay, you really are a great role model for the industry. I have been on heavy recovery for years and after some of the things i sadly had to deal with it shook my confidence driving the class 1's. watching your videos has honestly got me back in the seat again, so for that I am truly thankful. I was amazed you managed to spin it round the mini roundabout in Leicester when you got a little lost, if your ever that way again your welcome to stop for a cuppa, i only live up the road hahaha. Keep up the great work, see you down the road...........
ive just started a truck driving job and im driving all day and watching truck driving videos at night ,all i need now is a truck tattoo and my life is complete ;]
Hi Jay great video mate when you worked at plasman you put a lump of work top under the bunk and had the camera on there is this not possible in your truck now that was a good angle I thought ?
Once again an amazing video, your videos have inspired me to get my class 1 & 2 licenses just need to save up for them, sick of been stuck in a dead end warehouse job and in need of a change, thanks for inspiring me.
I'm working on HGV Class 2 right now :D I got my exam date 22/12/18 .. Exciting af! I feel so far from ready it's not funny.. Got one of the two required courses tomorrow... (Translated it's like emergency response course) It's kinda scary driving such a big vehicle haha.. No idea when I'm gonna do class 1
You can go through a Broker (But its advised against as it costs more) A work mate did it, I only paid £2200 for everything including Pass protection. My mate did it at £3600 with a broker but, he can pay it back monthly for 4 years, works out at like £96 a month. doesn't break his bank and once hes sorted his debt out, he can pay it fully off.
Cracking scenery over the new Runcorn bridge. Can’t believe yours still at maxi! I remember the day you started there! On your drive assement, I couldn’t cope with them, hats off to ya pal. Just saying dude that to the right of the glass factory in Elton isn’t stanlow, stanlow shell is the one that runs between the m53 an the Chester services.
I think reviews on Truckstops would be great for newbies like myself that way its we get too avoid the shitholes which in turn will hopefully make them invest money in there truck stops, Keep up the good work
Cool vid jay! I would say though with going over your time by 10 seconds, the tacho only works in full minutes, and it takes the largest proportion of that minute to decide what you did. 10 seconds driving, 50 seconds other work = the full minute allocated as other work. So you have until 4hrs30mins29seconds before that full minute will be allocated as driving, therefore count as an infringement!
Jay D it’s a grey area. I use to work for Maritime, we always had to put tacho on rest, although you can use period of availability. Even now with my current job, I use rest.
Great vid as always. I’ll look up the 🔦. And review of truckstops. I’ve been to a few, nice pricey food and drinks. Some really friendly staff and handy parking. But some of the toilet; shower facilities have been disgusting. This is at Moto services.
Great vlog Jay I think I have watched it about 3 times now on and still enjoy it loll sad bugger aren’t I. I like the way you refuse the trailer with the burnt guard best way to be its your licence not the company’s , I can’t understand a company as big as Maxi not having staff working nights to take calls from trampers instead of wasting time and money waiting till morning to get assistance. Tom.
Hello - I think I found it. Amazon say unavailable and they don’t know when they are getting it back. link I found is here www.amazon.co.uk/SUAOKI-Rechargeable-Waterproof-Flashlight-Emergency/dp/B0175ZRCM6. Hope this may help track it to another seller. 👍
On the Bicester thing...Ex Pat here living in Vermont USA. Most places in New England are named after towns in the UK but they totally bugger up the pronunciation...e.g. Gloucester = Gloster to us but Glowchester (Glow as in now) drives me crazy.
Hey, if you're looking to make ETS2 more immersive definitely try out the Tachograph plugin; it's a bit tricky to get your head around at first but makes it a lot more realistic and challenging: forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=198442
Are you on a different truck every week or do they try and keep you in the same one ? Videos are fab and I always look at Maxi trucks to see if it’s you 👍🏻
Mike Walker uk and most European trucks have air on rear / tag and front axles.....front is usually auto running for ride height, rear can be operated on a wander lead to adjust for different height kingpins on trailers, and the tag will adjust accordingly given weight on the unit, or you can manually lift for traction or maneuvering....👍
I always find it funny when a check light comes up but gives you no clue as to what to check . Modern technology , brilliant when it works confusing or infuriating at other times .
I feel like I am watching a trucking video here in the USA. With Jay drinking his Pepsi in a KFC cup 😆😂. I am a coke man myself Jay. Be safe my friend.
I’m an American truck driver I do a tug test after I pick up a new trailer and also before I start driving in the morning. Some drivers over here can be dicks and pull your 5th wheel release and when you leave you drop your trailer.
I remember seeing a video of an American truck driver going to the store and someone pulled the pin. Ever since when I do my daily check I always check the pin and shine a light on the fifth wheel to make sure the bar is across the pin. Iv not dropped a trailer YET but definitely don’t want that to happen. We also lock the pin in with a “dog clip” so nobody can quickly pull it while you’re at traffic lights.
Curious why you go with longer videos? Statistically are people watching beyond 10-15 minutes? I'd also think it would be better monetization wise to have multiple shorter videos.
'Luke...it was Luke who said 'Biiiiiii....cester'...always pronounces the local villages to where he lives wrong...328ft for 'foggies'......you should be okay as most 'Traffic Offizers' can only count to 20 (fingers, thumbs and toes...)

HA HA HA
Some of them old tunes total Classics!
@@scam009 bellend
Yes we US drivers do a tug test also. Good video, I would of not taken the load also... Until the trailer was fixed. #LifeInABigRig
Yes in Canada we do a tug test after the axles on the trailer have been adjusted, cause a lot of our trailers are manual adjustment
Great quality video Jay and nice to see you using different camera positions on the mirrors and rear of the unit.Thank you for your time.
Thank you Jay nice to have your travels again
Another great vid loved going with my dad when I was younger many years ago lol classic tunes what album was it
HELLO JAY !!!! CAN PLEASE EXPLAINE WHEN U ARE REMOVING THE CABLE ON THE TRUCK THANKS
Hi Jay great video mate when you worked at plasman you put a lump of work top under the bunk and had the camera on there is this not possible in your truck now that was a good angle I thought ?
How much is parking and showers in the services Jay? All here in Ireland are free for parking and I only know of 1 that you pay €2/£1.50 for a shower.
Welcome break charge 26 quid for parking, 27.50 for 2 £5 meal vouchers, motos are a bit cheaper. But they all extortionate tbh

@@Chris-fy8rk thats not a bad idea, thanks mate!
@@Chris-fy8rk Through a broker? What does that mean over there?
Don't think we have anything like that here in Norway.

Great Video Jay, just realised at 0:17 in your intro you are going over Newport Bridge, not too far from where i live.
I think reviews on Truckstops would be great for newbies like myself that way its we get too avoid the shitholes which in turn will hopefully make them invest money in there truck stops, Keep up the good work
Great idea mate. Newbie here
I think that would make a great collaboration video from the #RoadLegends 😎
Great vid as normal you were parked behind one of our wagons at the port, they are all loaded from our depot at Heywood

Liked the clip of un hitching and then hitching up again 👍🏻
Loving the tunes and videos Jay. Do you have a playlist that you can share public or tell us the albums that you listen to

Top video Jay lad and some class tuunneess👍
PLEASE, make the cabin view...it is really helpfull and it would be great for all
You having a rave in there lol. Some instant classics 😂
When your waiting on a bay for 2 hours do you put da tacho mode on rest other work or on duty and available for work?
Jay D it’s a grey area. I use to work for Maritime, we always had to put tacho on rest, although you can use period of availability. Even now with my current job, I use rest.
Great trucking. Why don’t you keep the same truck. Also what sat nav do you use
Wheres your fave truckstop atm, i new to it, but stayed in lesmahagow the other day, thats a nice truckstop
Great Videos keep it up. Came across your channel while browsing TH-cam. My Uncle was a long distance lorry driver until he retired.
Great vid as always. I’ll look up the 🔦. And review of truckstops. I’ve been to a few, nice pricey food and drinks. Some really friendly staff and handy parking. But some of the toilet; shower facilities have been disgusting. This is at Moto services.
I mean it would be good to hear your thoughts in truck stops aswell.
Great video as always Jay.
another cracking video, did you find the link for that brilliant torch bud?
Hi jay Have you any video when you first started class one .

Great vlog Jay I think I have watched it about 3 times now on and still enjoy it loll sad bugger aren’t I.

The multiple alarms a hangover from your army days? Never miss a parade with multiple alarms 😂
I cried when I saw the brush, only because I like perfect paintwork, lol. Car, van or lorry, I like perfect paint. :P
Jay, you didn't clean the wheels man. Do them next time lol.
Hey bud great Vids don't suppose u have the link for that torch just having a browse cant seem to find that one Suaoki ?
Hello - I think I found it. Amazon say unavailable and they don’t know when they are getting it back. link I found is here www.amazon.co.uk/SUAOKI-Rechargeable-Waterproof-Flashlight-Emergency/dp/B0175ZRCM6. Hope this may help track it to another seller. 👍
Jay, when you was jet washing your truck, you put tacho on crossed keys yeah?
Surely you mean crossed screwdriver and hammer? No I didn’t it does it automatically
@@truckerjay Yeah, crossed screwdriver and hammer, thanks for the correction : )
1:00:29 Finally some good music..
1:00:40
1:00:44
1:00:56
Love watching your videos! You going to truckfest at ingilston next year?
Thank you.. Do you get to stay in the same truck when tramping with Maxi?
On the Bicester thing...Ex Pat here living in Vermont USA. Most places in New England are named after towns in the UK but they totally bugger up the pronunciation...e.g. Gloucester = Gloster to us but Glowchester (Glow as in now) drives me crazy.
Got a playlist or anything for those tunes? Spotify?
Another stunning video :D making me want to get that torch now lol.
Great video! Watching for ideas to use in Ets2

Love the long episodes mate
Oh how we've missed Saffron Way!
Nice vidoe Jay/another epic vidoe
As I am in Australia 🇦🇺 we do not have trucks with lift axles can you please explain why you have them and how they work pretty please 🙏
Mike Walker uk and most European trucks have air on rear / tag and front axles.....front is usually auto running for ride height, rear can be operated on a wander lead to adjust for different height kingpins on trailers, and the tag will adjust accordingly given weight on the unit, or you can manually lift for traction or maneuvering....👍

Good video, a little hard to hear you, external microphone might be needed.
I feel like I am watching a trucking video here in the USA. With Jay drinking his Pepsi in a KFC cup 😆😂. I am a coke man myself Jay. Be safe my friend.
Hey trucker jay do u listen to trucksimfm cus if u do I'm DJwebbs and would like a shout out on one off your vids
I live in Tamworth but in Australia 🇦🇺 New South Wales
I’m an American truck driver I do a tug test after I pick up a new trailer and also before I start driving in the morning. Some drivers over here can be dicks and pull your 5th wheel release and when you leave you drop your trailer.

Ever since when I do my daily check I always check the pin and shine a light on the fifth wheel to make sure the bar is across the pin. Iv not dropped a trailer YET but definitely don’t want that to happen. We also lock the pin in with a “dog clip” so nobody can quickly pull it while you’re at traffic lights.
I haven’t dropped one either although I’ve only been driving 4 months. That makes a pre trip that much more important
1:01:12 that was some mint music thx
Curious why you go with longer videos? Statistically are people watching beyond 10-15 minutes? I'd also think it would be better monetization wise to have multiple shorter videos.
people ask for longer so that's what i give. not that bothered about revenue
Belting tunes there jay
They do thuck test in the US
that music tho didn't except that :D
Hollo
1:03:28 that's a bit naughty lol
1:07:57 to me to you to me to you lol
ear plugs jay !!
Some good old '90s music there.....nice
Can u give a shoutout to DJ Webb’s and trucksim.fm in your next video would really appreciate it if you could. Thank you.👍👍
'Luke...it was Luke who said 'Biiiiiii....cester'...always pronounces the local villages to where he lives wrong...328ft for 'foggies'......you should be okay as most 'Traffic Offizers' can only count to 20 (fingers, thumbs and toes...)
Which is 100 m
Yep, still leaves the 'Trafficos' 80 short......Always look forward to your videos...Drive safe..
👍👍🔥🔥👍👍👌👌
ha haa
