- Welcome to another day in the life of KevTee, where every journey brings a new adventure in the world of scrap car collection. Join me as I hit the road in my trusty Renault transporter, navigating through towns and countryside to rescue vehicles that have reached the end of their road.
In each video, I take you along for the ride, sharing the ins and outs of my day-to-day work. From residential driveways to commercial lots, I encounter a variety of vehicles, each with its own story. Whether it's a classic car that's seen better days or a modern vehicle that's met an untimely end, I handle them all with care and professionalism.
My mission is more than just hauling away scrap; it's about sustainability and giving these cars a new lease on life, whether through recycling, salvaging parts, or even restoring them for the road. As part of the Charles Trent team, one of the country's leading vehicle recyclers, we're committed to eco-friendly practices, ensuring that each car is processed with the environment in mind.
So, buckle up and join me on this journey of discovery, challenges, and the occasional unexpected twist. Don't forget to subscribe for a regular dose of automotive adventures and insights into the fascinating world of vehicle recycling!

The best thing about London is the road out of it
Nice video kevtee, I felt your pain pain driving around East London, I used to work there and I also drove trucks, thank thank god I left and went to Ireland
Beautiful driving, one dont have many centimeters to spare when one have to take a turn in twenty turns.
You certainly earned your keep in this episode! My biggest fear dvring vehs like yours is the massive tail swing! 'Easy get round this corner'. Scraaaape! Usually the poshest car in the st parked right on the corner for scrape bait. Great vid mate.
ANYWHERE inside the M25 is automatically a 12hr shift.. 😂
and the majority of side roads are 7.5T without access/loading..makes it a pita to find somewhere to turn round😂
take a 45 before you go inside the M25..then you've got a clear 4hr30 to get in and get out👍
It depends where you've come from, if you have 2.5 hours drive time and you enter the M25 you should be fine. If you're going into central London, then yeah you want a full drive time.
I'd be more bothered about the London Lorry Control Scheme & ensuring the company has the relevant permits to be going through them. Or London can turn into a very expensive endeavour for the driver.
Plus nearly every one feels the need to drive a four wheel drive fatmobile,or massive high powered luxobarges
Good video - and well driven in those tight East London streets! As a road traveller myself, I was listening to an intereview with Dan Walker (when he worked in sports for the BBC), and he said that John Motson had given him the best tip re the need for an emergency toilet. Go into your local supermarket, and find the biggest economy bottle of Lenor fabric softener you can find (you are looking for the biggest opening size of cap, which makes life easier and safer). Empty of contents, clean out with water, and drop a small amount of bleach in the bottom. Easy to use, comfortable, and no one will ever attempt to drink Lenor - Good Luck!
London,s always a nightmare especially in the east end.
Only if you allow it to be. My company goes there daily. So long as it's well planned and you know what you're in for, with congestion and constantly stopping for traffic lights it can't affect you. And your own time keeping is vital in London if your next drop is an hour away on your satnav & you have a 1:05 hours drive time left, you know to get your break in early or you'll end up with a drive time infringement.
23:35 that lad's clearly just nicked something 😂
The usual suspects.
Nice one Kev..
I used to do up to 17 drops in London with paving slabs in the 1990s with a artic 3 times a week with just an A to Z ..no Sat Nav or Phone..
I don't don't miss it..
Stay safe Drive.
Nice to meet you in bath last year dude 🤙
Great to see your brother Lee yesterday. He gave us a wave in his lorry 😊
That’s a job I wouldn’t want at any price!!
Kevin you are awesome at driving
Practice makes perfect.
Lucky you're thin Kev. Always entertaining when you visit London.Stay safe😃
Great video Kev 😊
Enjoyed this video a lot as it reminded me of when I used to do a lot of drops in East London many moons ago! Glad I don’t do them now! Quite happy with my school bus runs nowadays! Although they can be very tight to get too at times! Keep up the good work Kev and keep safe! 🙂👍🚛
Thank you for posting. You really earned your money on this day. You should carry a suitable bottle to pee into. Stop pull the curtain instant stress relief. As an older ex driver I think this is the best advice I could ever give you!
Anyway enjoyed the vlog and would say driving in London is either fun, or a nightmare.
Good video 😊
Nice one Kev T
New viewer enjoyed the video I hate to drive in to London but love to drive out to many people driving that have obviously never taken a driving lesson or test and probably don’t have a license or insurance 💔🇬🇧👏👏
Wow kev this one was a stressful one and I was stressed watching from the sofa😂great driving footage kev and never feel you need to apologise for footage or sound or music etc and certainly not the beard as you rock it m8😉😁👍
"manageable tightness" - .. that's what you get for brining your big lorry down places it aught not to be, Kev :P
I think riding your sleigh with the reindeer is much easier...... LOL
great work nice video
My favourite is when the Recovery or Balif arrives with an airlifter crane to lift all 4 wheels Merc or BMW off the ground believe they are called a Hyabb crane lift
E17 is a boy band and post code for Walthamstow
Brian Harvey still lives there 👍
Kev, when you are on estates like that head for the nearest bin shed to take a leak
I used to be a bin lorry driver so going tight estate like that was my speciality, but i could never stop thinking if a fire engine has to in for a burning house....if I can't get in with the bin lorry sure the firefighters can't. People just abandon their cars not even parking at that stage
Yeah it's the same round by me. Some of the corners are a struggle in a lwb van, let alone a fire engine.
Don't they push them out of the way with the engine?
@@Utopian_Turtletop-vn1iu no they can't do that
40 minutes 13 seconds a stealers wheel reference 🤔
Nice long one again kev
Would it not be a better idea to buy a 3,5 tonne flatbed with a winch and towing frame like the AA use,to pick up cars from these narrow street's, and drop them at a central point for pick, like a trading estate ? A locall contractor could pick up out of hour's as well
30:41 this must of been a nightmare!
Trents paid a good price for the ML. Parts must be a premium to pay so much. The other 2 will be good parts cars being new, though can see the Corsa going up for auction. Thinking of growing a beard myself. First time trying.
They are unreliable if not fully maintained, most get used for short journeys by people wanting to look hard
Transfer boxes and engines and dpf filters
My local garage gets loads in for repair, then tell the owners why they bought a merc cheap 😂
It's designed for long distances, not running around the estate and to maccy ds
Oddly none ever get them repaired
I spend 7 years driving HGV all over London and one of the biggest problem is yes finding the toilet😢 CTV cameras everywhere😮 unfortunately I didn't like it but the bottle in the cab😢
I thought I saw you when you was doing the collection for the Vauxhall Corsa I’m based about 10 minutes away
Who pays the ULEZ?
That truck is compliant.
Kevs beard makes him exempt from any charges.
I am in Normandy in France for the 80 anniversary of D Day
Now go back and redo what you did between about 30:30 and 32:30 with the power steering disabled so we can see what muscles you really have.😁
these days i think i would lost without power steering.
Testi-cool
Very stressful job. Having to ring customers with a lower price is an absolute ball ache for you. Dealing with people can be a nightmare, especially when you're giving them news they don't want to hear. That shouldn't be your responsibility. You've enough on your plate without that.
I agree. The office should have to be the ones to handle any price negotiations not you Kev.
Remove the drivers seat, replace with a commode.
Hey Kev, did i pass you today on the A30 west bound after Exeter, you were behind a yellow crane or something with tracks on, looked pretty wide on an HGV low loader? I flashed you out but you decided to stay on the inside lane.
Surely your lorries need to be fitted with reverse cameras or something
Kev you know your working against the govt, they want all cars on the road to be ev or they want us to walk 😂 I don't know about you but I work with and agency and can have different works every wk,the govt doesn't think of that. keep crackalackin 😉😉
Great video as normal but maybe rename the channel Kev talks to cars? Handbrake please stay off was repeated several times! Keep safe out there
Why didn't you just reverse in the way out?
Big all wheel drive merc,tinted windows, council flat !!!!
Knackered engine due to lots of short journeys 😂
Drug dealer's car
Why didnt you tell the lazy lump to come and give you a push ?
Kev, really like your videos and content. However, the advert time is becoming ridiculous now. I had to watch 5 ad breaks and 4 of these each were nearly a minute long. Makes the videos unenjoyable. Sadly I just switch off, which I am sure does not your analytics any good.
You tube premium, never seen an ad. Dont be tight.
Yep, TH-cam premium is less than 45p a day. Don't watch TV anymore, so literally haven't seen an advert in years.
Yes agreed too many adverts spoil the continuity
Interesting video spoilt by too many adverts often 50seconds long so not a 👍 from me on this one I'm afraid
youtube premium, dont be tight
TH-cam premium is less than 45p a day
@@SPDTDL Kevtee seems to have a LOT Of adverts on this video , been watching Kevtee channel for a few years long time subscriber but too many adverts spoil the continuity of this , 45p a day or £150 a year to be adverts free ?? No sorry think I would unsubsrcribe if it continues
@@michaelwaite6725 Shop around I get it free with my Vodafone contract
Lets play spot the white man
Where did it almost go very wrong? I'm not searching through the video again to try and find what I think I missed because I noticed this in a previous video where the title never materialised in the video.
What happened to you Kev? Hyperbolic clickbait titles, now even in all caps. You used to be better than this. I enjoyed your videos long before you started this nonsense. It's so unnecessary, your videos are enjoyable enough without this nonsense. Now I don't watch half your videos because the titles are meaningless, I'll stick to the other Trucker Legends (remember that?) who are more genuine.
Is this your alt account Luke? 😂
Funny - at 20 mph my big EV gets 600 miles to a charge.
It also weighs twice as much and hence takes far longer to stop than an equivalent petrol or diesel vehicle. Never mind pedestrian safety when you can virtue signal though 👍
Good luck when your battery starts to degenerate in a few years.
@@MattyEngland Are the Brits totally f'ing stupid? Stopping distance for my Bolt is 128 ft for a comparable Mazda 3 it's 121. Brits have become gullible twats
@@nathansmith7153my car was written off last month,I am an electrician by trade,guess what
I bought another diesel 😂
And my old diesel focus has been patched and is now a minicab in Leeds
