    Love to watch your videos. Your backing up skills are great, as many have said. As a yank I can’t understand everything you say but maybe that’ll come with time. :) your easy going manner makes these a pleasure to watch.

    I was amazed to see the layout of your truck dash board, I worked for a brewery from 1949/50 and beyond, we had a Jowett van, no heating, that was unheard of and an unwarranted luxury, no radio that was also unheard of. and sat nav would have been communicating with aliens.

    Hi mate, just wondered if I could kindly ask a bit of help.
    I tried recording a road trip of my own, I got a basic dash camera fixed to the rear cab wall in my transit but doesn't cover very well as views a bit forward.
    Just wondered in a van where the best place to put it would be to get the cab view?
    Thanks

    Hey, scary out there Jay! Take care of yourself. Ever need some advice my old man is an ex Royal Corp Of Transport turned trucker working for Reed Boardall in North Yorkshire. He only works nights cos he hates traffic!! Used to be a tramper but likes home comforts now. I've been out a couple of times with him, slept on the bed while he he got loaded (not personally) on the bay! lol! Never knew I was there in Daventry!! Don't go to Doncaster's prossie Alley!! I was with him one night when they banged on the door and asked if he wanted "a bit of business"!!

    I used to live in Reddish just off Longford Road West so it was great to see some familiar places. I could never work out when there is still the dog leg down the bottom of Longford Road West where it becomes Barlow Road. You would h ave thought that council would have purchased the land and straightened it out...Great vids...I think you are an example of a good lorry driver - stand your ground when you need to but play fair to other drivers...theres many a driver could learn a lesson from you.

    Master class in reversing mate. Almost as good as me. Today I reversed my tank trailer around a nearly 90 degree blind corner and bossed it in one with about 15 operators watching me. I felt like jumping out the cab and shouting Come on !!!! Lol. Quality driving mate. Love seeing what others are up to in the day.

    My dad used to drive Hgv trucks like you by he had to give up after crashed the truck and was 8cm away from a telephone pole which could have killed him. It was a BRAND new co op lorry and now it’s a right off.
    My sister was in the cab but luckily only had a broken foot, my dad had bad cuts and bruises with 2 broken ribs but he’s better now.
    Please drive safe there are some arseholes out there.
    If your ever driving in oxford stay away from cowley it’s a bad area and very high crime rate.

    yep Theft in the UK is rampant, drivers hate working there, I used to manage a couple of trucks EU->GB->EU... and let me tell you ITS horrible, they steal like crazy, and its not really only in "Free" parking spots.. it has happened in paid parking places and also happened a couple of time RIGHT in front of the actual loading/unloading place, so yeah from my personal experience the UK and Spain are hell for HGV drivers, France is right behind them...

      I check the coolant once a week as it does not tell you until it's low, my truck tells me when it wants oil and how much to put in, i can't see a single reason to make lifting the bonnet on a modern truck part of your daily checks. I suppose everybody has their own routine.
