Studying for my Class 2 - this video is the exact reason that it shouldn’t be allowed to go straight from car to C+E because most people wouldn’t know how to get out that situation! Kudos!
I never drove a class other than training and I am doing just fine

@@truckinguk looks it
All credit to you mate for getting yourself out of this.
It was a mission mate
I drive class 2 and sometimes think i should have done 1 , ( won't bother now I'm 50 ) , then i see this and glad i didn't, excellent video mate 👍
Well done my friend. You managed to keep calm and get back to a main road... luckily you didn't meet another lgv along the way!
That is what I was afraid of, luckily no one was coming the other way 😅
Just found your channel, you're a very polite and professional driver. Great advert for the HGV community. Nice one 😊
God damn! How you managed those narrow roads is something else 👏🏾 Got my Class 1 course starting in 2 weeks. But I'm having doubts now. 😅
Don’t have doubts about it mate it an easy job good pay and I know sometimes can get to be like this but you always will manage to get out just fine
Hope your in a good area for work been 7 months since i passed mine and well over 900 application's still nothing, Been on those roads in a 50ft coach way harder than a artic but somehow you always find a way treat it as a challenge.....
It’s always a way out this place but it a difficult challenge
@@anshaultz.177harvey9same here fella no luck for class 2 or class 1 work (anything worth going for anyway), ex bus driver
Had my anxiety through the roof the entire video! Wow
sorry pal haha
Great video and well done. Sometimes in life we get ourselves into a hole and it's all about how you deal with it. You did great.
Absolutely! thanks pal
Same thing has happened to me twice following truck nav when delivering to middle of nowhere. Why do truck navs take you down roads that are obviously unsuitable for a 44 t artic. Stressful!!
You done so well, those roads are tiny! Fab video 👍👏👏
Thanks bae
I was the same when I first started driving a milk tanker, just becomes the norm now 😅
😂😂
Awesome job getting out of that one
Cheers mate
When you get into those tight situations, try and get your drive group as far out as possible, rather than swinging through the corner. By getting the drive group out as far as possible, that will bring the trailer forward, hopefully allowing you to make the turn a bit easier.
Wow didn’t know that mate, thank you for the advice I will try to keep it in mind for next time… thank you for you comment 🦾
What's a drive group please
@@jonpitcher9542: The axles on a HGV are usually called Steer, Drive, Dolly and Trailer. If it is only one axle, then it is referred to as above. If there are two or more axles in a group, then it is referred to as a group, as there is more than one axle in that group. In the OP's videos, he is trying to get around corners without getting the drive axle group as far forward as possible. The drive group also includes the turntable, which the trailer connects to and pivots on. By getting that group further into the corner, by starting the turn, then reversing on the opposite lock, go forward, then reverse back, you are bringing the rear of the trailer forward, so you have a better chance of getting the trailer around the corner, without hooking the trailer on the inside of the turn. However, you now have to keep a close eye on the ends of the trailer due to the front and rear overhang.
Yes, I have seen this done when transporting an 8 metre wide house, and have done this a few times myself in tight situations.l
@Jacare 111 thanks for the heads up
I used to drive a 32tonne fuel tanker around the Peak District and been in this situation many times… I deliver industrial paint now lol 😂
Mirror cams are one of the worst things ever invented for a truck!
I feel your stress. I'm a HGV class 2 driver and I'd struggle on them roads. I think you might of put me off getting my class 1 licence now.
Imagine sending the new longer HGV's in some of these places because obviously a lot of dispatcher's won't care and just put the stress on the drivers shoulders
Mate, you need a good dispatcher/router, to check your routes in advance for the best option, it's a small cost in money/time for a great benefit considering how much time you loose in every one of these incidents (how many extra loads per month/year could you take if you didn't get stuck so much)
What exactly is a dispatcher/router? You mean a truck satnav or some telephone guy you call to get the best routes?
This guy's problem is he doesn't know how to read a map. Just relying on a satnav to get him from A to B instead of planning the route in advance. I have no sympathy.
You’re an excellent driver buddy, keep em coming, love the vids 👍
From my experience i always try to avoid the roads with name that ends in lane or any b roads lol google earth and google street view before any new delivery and plot my route in
Must of been so anxious at times there but top driving...
Live and learn mate . S**t happens somtimes this will make you a better driver you learn from your mistakes they say . Dont let it get to you no1 was hurt here . Keep your chin up a mate and keep on trucking 👍
Thank you for the nice comment pal and yes we all learn from our mistakes, I didn’t manage to get out in one piece 😅
Some good driving there pal I'm in for my hgv test class one on Tuesday cant wait to get out there on the road
Good luck pal ✌🏽✌🏽🚛🚛💨💨 I’ll see you on the road
Well happy passed my class 1 hgv today one of the best days of my life
@@davidcotham6128well done 👏
I know this area and god did you do well keeping it together
Wow, that's an anxiety inducing vid there, that would put me off wanting to be a HGV driver😅
Great driving & awesome vid🤙
I reckon two things would help here. Firstly, if some roads were marked as 'not suitable for large vehicles'; and secondly, if a GPS system could be made that catered for HGV drivers instead of just car drivers.
there are already truck sat navs. But they are not 100% accurate. Sometimes they will try send you down a restricted road like 7.5t . Other times they can send you on a long route when a shorter alternative is possible.
When a road says that it is unsuitable for HGV, that means that 2 HGV's cannot pass but that doesn't mean to say that a HGV can't go there because tractors may be using these types of roads.
@@skylarius3757 My post was somewhat tongue in cheek 😉 Your point is valid though, GPS needs to cater for different size vehicles accurately. It's no good sending a HGV down a road suitable for a 7.5 tonner max, or (and this has happened many times) directing you to a bridge over a river only to find it's for pedestrians only!
Hats off to all HGV drivers, you have a tough job to do and it's not going to get any easier 🙁
Well handled mate this is my worst nightmare as a class one myself
Brilliant video 👍👍 we all live and learn and you would have defo taken something from that.
Biggest learning day for me pal 🫡
Well done mt been in some sticky situations myself delivering to farms & cottages 👍
Keep trucking
Awsome driving mate content is awsome catch you next time 🚚💨👍
Cheers buddy 😎 I am trying really hard to realise good video
Just passed my class 1, if I got sent down there, I’d probably cry 😂
Tight roads no room for Mistakes Well Handled though got through in one piece!!!😰😰
It was an stressful situation 😅
I do not miss doing farm drops in class one first job I had soon I got my class 1 license was multi drop and they thought be good idea to give me double deck trailer and farm drops after only a week after passing lol
Nice one.
Where are you from I can hear Liverpool and Italy lol
Those mirrors are good but what happens if they fail is there a temporary mirror?
You can say “No “ practice it …..your boss is laughing at you.🤣🤣🤣🤣tell him do it yourself!
What you saying mate my boss is amazing 🤣🤣 to be honest it was my mistake I come out on the wrong Junction 🥲 but everything worked out just fine
@@truckinguk Them roads are rubbish only suitable for a van maybe a rigid! Crack on drive 👍👍👍got to do the crap 💩 jobs to get the good ones!
✌🏽✌🏽
Do you see any other HGVs on this road?
That's because you done taken a wrong turn boy.
You seem to like getting into situations 😂
🤦♂️ ladies and gentlemen this is why companies don't like employing new drivers! Not sure where you where going but you didn't plan your route before you set out on your journey my friend. If you don't want to run into problems like this in the future buy a road atlas preferably a hgv one cheap as chips these days and plan your routes. I've been driving 26 years and have covered many jobs but i would never really trust a sat nav . Well done for not throwing the towel in , and try and learn from your mistakes good luck to you 🍀
Hey Jeff thanks for you comment pal, remember we are human and we all make mistakes. This happened because of me yes deffo thats fine but I did sort it myself and I would never throw the towel in, I have never done it and I will never do it, I did get out and no damage was done other then that alloy cover which was £20 and I could change it myself.
This is why I will never leave H&M because when I make a mistake they support me and they help me to get better and learn from my mistake.
People like Jason, Tom, and John are always helping.
I really appreciate your comment, and thank you for the feedback
In his position you would have shit on yourself, he managed very well despite the obstacles of the road.
dude was sooooo happy to see that lay-by xDD
Love from INDIA🇮🇳
great content, excellent driving.
Thank you pal
You done so well! how many years have you been driving?
Only 10 months mate
@@truckinguk Which is terrifying and impressive all at the same time. 😂
I feel your pain dude ....
Cheers mate I did mate it out some how
need to update that satnav lol great video
Cheers mate and yes you right needs a update
Why any company would think it's ok to deliver using a vehicle like this on these roads is beyond me!
You can lose your license for taking a wrong turn and getting stuck?
No pal you can, you can lose your licence for dangerous driving and if you over turn your truck as far as I know, in roads like this it’s very easy to get stuck or worst over turning your truck and losing your licence
Fantastic job buddy
Thanks mate
@@truckinguk dude I know what’s it’s like I am down roads like that at least twice a week I am in the access game my self and going down them roads isn’t easy especially with a 44 foot trailer 😂
Mate I hated my life that day honestly bro the most stressful situation in my driving career 😂😂
@@truckinguk 😂😂 how long you been a HGV driver for?
9 months
I do a lot of farms getting potatoes I know the stress levels get bad
Trust me I feel your pain
why is your right hand mirror purple?
Not too sure pal
You may of gone wrong but your one hell of a driver mate what sat nav you using
Cheers pal… it’s the Truck TomTom
@Trucking UK oh no I've just bought one for coach driving
Whoever gave you this job needs a rollicking
I would have taken it back to yard and told dispatcher to do it his self,
What accent is that ? Where are you from mate ? Fair play looks stressful
I’m from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 ✌🏽
WOW that was a day from hell, but could of been worse, a fallen tree would of made it GAME OVER you done very well...
It was the worst day of my driving career
Last thing you need on a job like that is to lose your wing mirror...them cameras are a joke, if they dnt go completely dark they flicker or go purple like yours...i refuse to drive without real mirrors now
You do seem to get some dodgy runs, have you upset your boss, I drove artics for 45 Years never had a single bad run that could compare to yours..
Hi m8 how much can you m8 mistake all the time
As much as you could not spell mate properly 😂😂
@@truckinguk ben dedimki nasıl oluyorda bukadar yanlış yola giriyorsunuz sadece onu merak etmiştim sende nasıl oluyorda adresleri yanlışmış yazıyorsun yoksa kormusun kardeşim 🤣🤣
Ok ok que quieres que te diga no entiendo nada 😂😂😂 yo tampo so the Inglaterra 😂
@@truckinguk umarım adresleri düzgün yazarsında kaybolmassiniz have a good day
He needs is licence taking off him
Talk about drama queen
