Hi sandy I have a 770s v8 and go through a lot of diesel . fully loaded even with the 770s v8 it pulls well but I feel your pain when you look at consumption but doing heavy loads it's part of the job . I do Scotland to most of Europe .I spend hundreds of thousands a year sometimes I wish I was connected to north sea oil.. At the end of the day I love what I do and you pay for driving and owning a big truck hauling heavy loads. Aye sandy being away from home takes its toll on you and any partners wife kids ect . You can get into a bit of a spiral but you just have to not get lost and keep it from driving you mad all the best with your company sandy 😊
this video was very useful as id like to start a haulage business in a few years and this made me open my eyes and realise i need to have a good amount of money built up before i start a business ass how expensive fuel and everything is
Hi buddy great your busy. Maybe you’ll get to the stage where you’ll have someone in your old truck or have a subbie working closely with you. Remember your overall health is everything.
Hi Sandy yet agean another brilliant video , the lorry did well from the highlands down to Bedfordshire & the fuel cost is mind blowing , stay safe buddy and keep on trucking 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Nice video Sandy. Looks like you could do with a dolly. I always liked getting up round the west coast, usually something to do with fish for Spain. Up the A 9 to Inverness and across to Skye via the ferry at Kyle, or Ullapool, Mallaig. Just a few tips for you when you're running heavy.... Sit on the front of the seat. and when it gets really steep, or you're trying to get round someone, lean forward a bit more and do a gentle bounce.. Even though your foot is right on the floor, just press it a bit harder.... When we're getting up some of the climbs on the Hume ( Melbourne Sydney ) we're getting about 400 meters to the litre @ 69 tons B Double. And about 300 meters to the litre @ 80 tons A double. The gradients are about the same as the M 62 Halifax area, but 10 -12 k's at a time. Alt 790 meters. Fuel tanks on mine are 1800 litters. 3x a week.
Great video as always, I’d be really interested in what the overall price you charge would be for a load like that, because I wouldn’t even be able to guess.
Great video, keen to know more costings.... and what sort of rates are paid for work like that ! Do you price most jobs on mileage or day rate and or a mix of both?
Keep un green 💚🍏 has much has possible wiy heavy load has we driving no automatic find the ⚙️ to be in than a manual gearbox mate love the video many years back liaded Scotland fort Augustus with mining equipment if the mountain they werer building hydro dam i had left hand drive daf to load to Germany crack on bud see you on the flip
Sandy bud firstly great truck 🚛🚛🚛driving with the very heavy load, respect 🙏 with all the information provided what a great video 📹 and job 👏 👍 I think it maybe time pal for a office assistant bud you've enough with the driving, you could without realising it end up with burn out, as you said your heads full all the time ⏲️ that's not good for your wellbeing
Wheelie great video Sandy I'm probably one of your biggest nightmares, I pull a caravan, lol but that experience gives me the respect for you guy's, giving you the room to manoeuvre, stopping distance, appreciate your loss of speed on inclines etc Why is it, every steep incline has to have a bend, taking out any speed from your run up Hats off to you 👏 Your mind is constantly on the go, no wonder the law is so insistent on breaks and taco times Keep safe Keep the vids coming Take care Geoff
interesting with all the modern technology and electronic engines etc your not doing any better on fuel than my mate was getting with his 6x4 Atkinson silver night with a 250 gardener and 15 spd fuller on stgo 2 work. even my 1942 diamond t running at 60 ton gross is averaging 3.5 - 4 mpg with just a rolls royce c6 at 185hp with a pair of fuller box's. not even going up the hills any quicker either which is surprising considering you have double and even triple the power than the aki and DT.

Greetings from the sleeper or an otr truck, currently in the state of Arizona 😂😂

Great video!

Do you price most jobs on mileage or day rate and or a mix of both?
epic vlog mate
What is your TGW , Love the vlog
No trees were harmed in the making of this video 🤣
😂😂😂
Hope your getting a good rate for shifting that heavy plant
If the front wheel lifts up im ring in vosa
There are 4 and a 1/2 liters in 1 gallon of gas.
nothing ropey about the video Sandy. was that another wee fly dig at Tim ;-) lolnothing wrong with a bit of banter :-) roll on the next video :-)
Can you not put weights on the front of the truck to compensate for the front wheels lifting when pulling uphill?
Keep un green 💚🍏 has much has possible wiy heavy load has we driving no automatic find the ⚙️ to be in than a manual gearbox mate love the video many years back liaded Scotland fort Augustus with mining equipment if the mountain they werer building hydro dam i had left hand drive daf to load to Germany crack on bud see you on the flip
Wot weight are you running at there sandy .love y the video
You’ve just answered the question 60t
Do u have to get a moment order for everything you move or is it just when you go over a set limit of weight and height and length
Do you not do the logging any more Sandy?
Nae another youtube channel we hiv tae watch folk drink that pish is there no escape 😢
True pro 👍
How long u think it will last with work like that stunning wagon pal
Sandy bud firstly great truck 🚛🚛🚛driving with the very heavy load, respect 🙏 with all the information provided what a great video 📹 and job 👏 👍 I think it maybe time pal for a office assistant bud you've enough with the driving, you could without realising it end up with burn out, as you said your heads full all the time ⏲️ that's not good for your wellbeing

I'm probably one of your biggest nightmares, I pull a caravan, lol but that experience gives me the respect for you guy's, giving you the room to manoeuvre, stopping distance, appreciate your loss of speed on inclines etc
Why is it, every steep incline has to have a bend, taking out any speed from your run up
Hats off to you 👏
Your mind is constantly on the go, no wonder the law is so insistent on breaks and taco times
Keep safe
Keep the vids coming
Take care
Geoff
Hi shandy
wouldn't it be easier to change the settings to L instead of doing all the conversions yourself ? 👀
Why not hire a driver or 2 to drive your other trucks then you cane make more money
First🎉
Keep up the good work sandy 🤙
You have a V8, why would you be concerned with fuel consumption?
Have you had it remapped
No mate
interesting with all the modern technology and electronic engines etc your not doing any better on fuel than my mate was getting with his 6x4 Atkinson silver night with a 250 gardener and 15 spd fuller on stgo 2 work. even my 1942 diamond t running at 60 ton gross is averaging 3.5 - 4 mpg with just a rolls royce c6 at 185hp with a pair of fuller box's. not even going up the hills any quicker either which is surprising considering you have double and even triple the power than the aki and DT.
I can’t c how u can carry a lh40 plus the grab at 65 ton gross legally just asking for a friend 🤦
Cat 2 is 80 gross
£1 a litre?
I thought that as well. £1.05 a litre plus VAT ? I need to get on his fuel card.
Such a waste of time 😂
Another fantastic video sandy if I had a hat on I would take it off to you always professional 🫶🙏👍🇬🇧
