Another tip if youre looking for one. When you couple up your trailer, do it with the engine off. If you do it with the engine on, you risk blowing some fuses. The last thing you need is to have no lights in a pitch black field
I was just talking to an old army buddy. When he left the army, he was a trucker and loved it. He even went and bought his own truck, and after 30-odd years, he's sick of it. Another old army buddy went into trucking, but after a short time, he trained truckers probably better. I'm not sure?
I was earning close to this doing Class 2 multi drop, the work life balance was absolutely horrendous and some of the drops were so dangerous, now I'm a 32 tonne tipper driver, 6am start 2pm finish, shit pay but the job is pure bliss.
@@hn1695 pay varies in tipper jobs. Some firms will pay £750 a week after tax others will only do about £500 a week, it’s about finding a company that doesn’t work you like a donkey and pays you a full day rate. Small companies that work on Asphalt with no drystone shifting once the Asphalt plants are done for the day are your best best. You never have to worry about driving hours at all
What puts me off is the early start. He had s hour left, i would have swopped trailers before parking up. One it was still light & second could have had an extra hour in bed.
I deliver the burgers 🍔 and fries 🍟 to a large American fast food chain with a big golden M. We get £20.72 an hour plus £54 a day weekend premium. I work PM shifts, 8-10 hour days, home to bed every night. We have guys (and a girl) doing Scotland runs tramping in a secure yard on £60-£75K a year. I'm not interested in that. I'm on course for about £51K this tax year. That will do for me. We drive full trailers, urban trailers and a handful of rigids, all refrigerated. Not every HGV job means 90 hour weeks but you could do if you wanted. Actually, they wouldn't allow it but you get my drift. See you on the M62 👍
I’m based in the north east and had a driver saying that Martin brower are opening up a depot in Darlington? Not sure whether you know anything as I can’t seem to find anything on Google?
Will have to keep my eyes out for you if you're in and around Stoke/market drayton and that area if you're up here more often doing trailer work for the fields.
well yes that is not bad, but I make about 6,10 k more, but I don't have to do anything only hook up /off once a week and open the doors to let them load /unload trailer we drivers are not allowed to be in the trailer when loaded only to sweep out, all we do is drive 11 hours to our destination and owner operator make 3 times more. but yes i know the UK been driving there before.
🤣🤣🤣 I earn 50K for 4 day 48 hrs a week 60K if you wanna work 5 days 60 hrs and you get 6 hrs sleep plus paid break during the night. Night shift is where the money is
If a lorry driver is working close to home they can see their family that way.. In fact is a driver is gonna drive his lorry in his home town he could have a 15 min break and go and pop in for a tea/coffee 👍
Plus I don't have much socialisation only with my family a barely have friends so I couldn't give a fuck I'm still doing this job in the future years looks mint
Give up being silly. You don't have any social life in any jobs theses days anyways. If I am hitting 50k a year working 60 hours a week I'd be happy with that.
Im doing my training now whats the best way to get experience about driving Nd rest times and load weights i already past my theory but i still get confused
The Transport Industry is rubbish. Over regulated and under paid! Iv been trucking nearly 2 years and been doing 32tonne tipper work for the last year. It's good money but that's on a 55+hr week. When u divide 50k by the amount of hrs u put in it's a shite wage. Luckily iv just been offered my old job back in maintenance which works out the same annually as I'm on now but for a 37.5hr week lol my advise to people avoid hgv if u want a life, and not having to start work early! There's no 8-4/9-5 jobs in this industry that pays what ure worth. Too much risk and not alot of reward unfortunately
Yeah. Work nights. Quieter roads and better pay and hours and you'rehome after every shift. I wouldn't reccomend tramping if you like your own bed or have kids or a wife or husband. Tramping just isn't worth the extra few quid a day.
Depends how far away you are really, you would be tramping all week so the lorry is your home, so you would only drive to work at the start of the week and home at the end of the week. I would travel up to 2 hours for a tramping job that paid decent money if I was stuck. Currently my travel time to a local non tramping job home every night is 1 hour a day so over a 5 day week that's 5 hours, a tramping job 2 hours away my weekly travel time would be 4 hours. Its another way of looking at it. I wouldn't rule it out.
50k really? so that puts you in the higher UK tax bracket of 40%? even if you are just under the threshold you are still paying ridiculous tax and national insurance, and work out your hourly rate? what is your true net income per hour? for one of the most unhealthiest jobs in the UK? Now a trade or profession where you make that gross figure for say 30, 40 hours per week that is ok but we really need to stop this pretence, the job is and conditions are deplorable and the government and business owners know this, drivers need to fight for better conditions not enable it.
No Garry. You increase your pension contributions. Plus I'm on just under £50K, 8 hour days, free canteen, home to bed every night. Not every HGV job means nights out and 90 hour weeks.

Congratulations 🎉 Tony for reaching 14k and thank you for your road 🛣️ videos in the DAF XF.
Loved it when I was younger, hate it now I'm older. So under appreciated ❤

Good videos, what device and model do you use for the filming?
Yeah, £50,000 doing 168 hours per week.

@@Fast_car1000 I'd rather have a life. 50k is peanuts in today's money
@@LMAO2510what u on? 24k packing shelves?
@@Lukas_Ivaskevicius no that’s how much it cost you to cross in your rubber dinghie😂
How come you're not using live traffic on your tomtom?
£50.000 a year plus no social life or family life 😂
We don’t need
50k that's what mainstream media says to lure you, in reality between 30k-50k

Great work you are doing buddy! Could you tell me what tipe of camera are you using for recording with your head pls.

Im doing my training now whats the best way to get experience about driving Nd rest times and load weights i already past my theory but i still get confused
How can I get started please... I want to become an HGV DRIVER
I’d like to work for this company
What company is this and do they have London/Essex branches ?
@@joshuahall1938Huntapac based in Preston.
Im desperate to find how you record pov with the go pro! My viewers say currently mines are way to DIZZY AND UNstable :D
Image stabilisation
Also those trailers are loaded in the field and they fill them full not bothered about how much weight is in them
Do they tack on newly passed drivers 👍
I can ask, where are you from?
Manchester
@@truckinguka mate of mine has just passed. If they take on new pass he'd be interested.

Great work man ... can you assist me on how can l apply for a job . Plzz
Go on their website.
who earns 50k or anywhere nr it it in trucking,very very few
Me and every driver at my company.
Another 1 that pulls the pin first 😢😢
Yeah, that's a real nasty habit.
Is it worth me getting my licence?
Deffo 👍🏽
@@truckinguk thanks, it's something I've been wanting to do for a while now. I love driving and want a decent living, will look into it for sure
Do it mate, it’s a great job and good money to
@@truckinguk thanks for the advice, great videos.
Yeah. Work nights. Quieter roads and better pay and hours and you'rehome after every shift. I wouldn't reccomend tramping if you like your own bed or have kids or a wife or husband. Tramping just isn't worth the extra few quid a day.
Starting to early you are night worker . You cant do as long hours due to working time.
You can opt out mate it’s up to you and the company
You can legally opt out and do a full 15 hour shift if you so wish.
Yes you can mate it’s up to you and the company you work for
Non HGV drivers shouldn't make such wild assumptions.
I drive coaches and hgv over 35 years.
Why didn’t you check the trailer break on before hitching up ?
If the air line isn't connected it won't move.
next time try to film what u eat in a truck, if u want :D
I need a job but too far away 😂
Depends how far away you are really, you would be tramping all week so the lorry is your home, so you would only drive to work at the start of the week and home at the end of the week.

And they should be on more than 50k a year just for the shit they have to put up with on road's

Get me a job
clear 36k after tax , and its shite lifestyle why bother make it 8hrs a day like office workers or there's no point unless you have no life
What a pirick
50k a year yeah in you're dreams
£50k is easy achievable if your tramping doing 65hrs
Easy mate…
I am on 45k a year and everyday I am coming back home as I am doing multi drop so I think 50k on tramping is possible 💁🏻♀️
£20 an hour, 50 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, 52,000 a year. Quick maths.
@@cc184750 hours per week as a Hgv driver lmao… yeah right
