    In this video, I have a solar farm delviery and a very wet collection from Wimbledon
    As a HGV Truck Driver in the UK, trucking across the country can be challenging especially when its down tight, narrow county lanes.
    Join me as I take you along, showing you the loading and unloading, difficult manoeuvres as well as the other challenges that I face on a day to day basis and what I have to do to ovecome them.
    If you enjoy the content dont forget it give it a like and why not leave a comment asking any questions you have about becoming HGV Driver and life on the road.

    Another good one John-o. 👍 Totally agree on the electric car front . Horrendous cost to change the batteries if they go wrong, cheaper to scrap the car, good for the environment !!! don't think so .

      No far from it with production I'd say more polluting

    Interesting vlog John. I hate all this solar stuff on wonderful farmland. It should be producing food, put them on houses, industrial sites and rook over carparks. Take care and thank you.

    Back in the 80's I used to overnight at the Woolwich Ferry. You could go to the leisure centre for a shower and there were plenty of eateries. Parking was free. I would be surprised if you can still do that nowadays 😂. Also we used to use the ferry as much as possible and claim the Dartford money instead lol😂😂 no receipt and it was either £1 or £2 back then. How times have changed😂

    Hi John O I love your latest video & that would be some distance from Taunting Somerset to pick up a trailer in Bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Pal. Plus if you’ve found it too hot in the South you can have some of the Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 weather as it’s been a cold summer here Pal. Put it this way I’m 51 years old & it’s the first ever cold July in my lifetime & totally 💯% I’ll stick with Diesel ⛽️ & Petrol ⛽️ 💯% Buddy. 👍

    I agree with your views on electric cars/vehicles John"O, all electric vehicles are doing for pollution, is move any pollutants from the vehicle to the ruddy power station, I've just purchased a new car went for a mild hybrid, so I did investigate going electric, 'but' until EV's sound like a V8 or a Ferrari & the infrastructure to service them appears, I feel going electric is a fools game,... x
