Brilliant Becky. I wonder if you have heard about Jemma handing in her notice. It would be incredible if you and Jemma worked together. You would make a great team. Thanks Becky take care. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐄👍
When I was on the buses there was a regular passenger who would always sit either directly behind the driver or he’d stand as close to the front as you could let him depending on how busy the bus was. I asked him why once and his answer was simply ‘paranoid, mate’. Eventually I pushed him enough and he said he’d been on two buses that had caught fire somehow. His reason for being at the front? ‘I’ll be fuxxxx if I’m not getting off first if it ever happens again’. Having an incident like yours, really does prey on your mind somewhat.
for manufacturers R and M if you're running late registration lorries,no probs in my last TM job we had trucks based in Kent,Wales London and Essex the main dealers looked after us we had minimal downtime
I was rolling in laughter when you mentioned to Liam that you "don't want to see smoke" and him trying to reassure you that all was well🤣also your paranoia is another level🤣, but I suppose we'd all feel that way having to drive such a massive truck, it was good to see you back to your usual self when you made it back to the yard in one piece...
I'd say I'm paranoid when it comes to brakes. When my first car had it's O/S/F calliper seize up I was so paranoid that when the N/S/R brakes of the drum variety was getting warmer than the rest I immediately got the car recovered. Turned out to only be the wheel bearing was tightened too much when it had been replaced. After that I didn't have any issues until the N/S/F calliper started to catch but myself and my dad dealt with that as soon as it started so I didn't get to the hub cap melting stage + brake failure that I'd got to before... But now I'm super cautious at work with buses and with my current car (which definitely has something coming, something other than the a slight exhaust leak, I can feel it)
I can understand your worry. When I was a kid I went to Devon with my brother and his car sent smoke through inside of seats. I was out fast because I was so scared. I had to get back in again. He had an old P6 Rover. Beautiful old car. But I was frightened after that. And it happened to me while driving a bus smoke came up from engine into rear seats. I called out engineers as I was scared. You will soon get over the worry but I understand you’re worrying I really do. And funny enough it happened in my mobility van. It was the thingy that cleans out the exhaust of the crap it collects. No complaing about it being hot madam was moaning about the cold before. Gonna be worse next week ❤😂
Becky sorry to hear that your truck had an issue with the brakes, I worked for Daf Trucks for twenty years when i was in the UK i worked for Brian Currie MK and Northampton and Ford and Slater Corby Daf Dealerships but Now living in Western Canada working on the American trucks. Im guessing your brake caliper sliders had seized up, normally only the bottom one seizes up but if they were not seized then they may have been incorrectly adjusted, but i know Liam does the work on your truck so am sure he adjusts them correctly. But i will tell you the way you should adjusts those calipers on a DAF if you replace the pads and if the caliper sliders are free and not seized. If the brake has two are pipes to it, its a spring brake chamber so you have to have full air in the system, release park brake, adjust brake up witch is on those a 10mm nut type adjuster, just nip it up till the wheel doesnt turn, then back off 4 clicks. The 4 clicks are important as you can back it off 1 click and the wheel will spin and when i was at the Daf Dealerships some of the mechanics would back them off 1 click the wheel spins and they think fine, inevitably the truck would brake down the next day as the brakes would overheat of catch fire. So 4 clicks off, then when you adjust to that make sure the truck has full air, make a full brake application 3 time then the caliper will adjust itself up, So the brake calipers can adjust the brake up automatically but the cant back them selfs off automatically, so thats why the 4 clicks off and brake application on these brakes are important. Im sure Liam knows this so listen to him when he tells you it will be ok. Lol Keep making the videos i love watching them, make me miss England though :( cause your close to where i use to live. Take care Becky and Liam.
Don’t feel bad about being cautious with the repair, I’m the same, I was once told by a mechanic that being hyperaware is not a bad thing, but being too cautious is, put the repair through its paces and test it while you’re hyperaware. I know brakes need running in a bit, but once you relax back into the job, you will not notice if you are overdoing it, in this case over using the brakes, but you will also not notice the fault, in this case a fire. So I know the last thing you want is a fire, but it would be better to have a fire when you’re in a position to see it as soon as it happens, rather than when you’ve stopped looking for it. It also helps with the blame game, if something goes wrong after a day or so, it’s easy to blame the repair, but if you make it through a week of careful driving, Liam might have a reason to say “it was working fine for a week, it must be your driving”
I can see how much the trauma with the brake has had an effect on you, and I understand that. And, I think it is wise of you to make several checks on the wheel. However, I am sure Liam would have done everything in his power to make sure your lorry is safe. Hopefully you will soon regain your confidence in your trusty DAF. (And I guess your confidence in your boyfriend's work). That wheel is not binding when you spin it. I guess your system fault could be from the wheel speed sensor or its cable having been damaged by the heat. If so it is a simple repair for Liam. I have full confidence in both the lorry and the driver!
No point being paranoid, Becky, it'll overheat when you ain't looking anyway, just like it did before so it ain't gonna help is it. Like the other post says, get a bloody Scania!
Brilliant Becky.
I wonder if you have heard about Jemma handing in her notice.
It would be incredible if you and Jemma worked together.
You would make a great team.
Thanks Becky take care.

I’m going to have a drink every time you say the word paranoid. Pray for me 😅
Enjoyed your video good to see you got back home unscathed 😊😊😊😊

Hi Becky thank you for another fantastic video as always keep them up and I hope you are well you are awesome

Overrated crap.
The frilly curtains are PPE to keep the flies out from the livestock in the trailer BG?
I think you could be paranoid!

Great video Becky
Other than one being automatic is there a difference between volvo and daf (is it personal preference or something more straightforward)?
Ii lost count of the number of times you said " PARANOID " !
Great to be fire free becky good vid.❤
Safe travels trucking Becky

Good morning Becky
Hello Becky I totally understand I would be the same 👍👍
ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO STOP WORRYING YOU WILL DRIVE YOUR SELF ROUND THE TWIST TAKE CARE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Hello Becky when you see smoke coming from the wheel is the time to worry don't worry if wheel spins you are like me I used to worry ❤❤
You need a cheap infra red thermometer in your cab to check your brakes
I can see how much the trauma with the brake has had an effect on you, and I understand that. And, I think it is wise of you to make several checks on the wheel.

Beautiful Becky ..
No point being paranoid, Becky, it'll overheat when you ain't looking anyway, just like it did before so it ain't gonna help is it. Like the other post says, get a bloody Scania!
