Just be aware that I have absolutely no time for people trying to be clever! Life is too short for me to worry about idiots so I will just block you and move on with my life😂😂
@@AnonymousEuropeanDriver Is there reasons why you do that? Driving standards? You being on the wrong side etc? Have you been over here to Northern or Rep. Of Ireland? You will need both seat belts 😂😂
I agree you are buying a truck, the one thing you deserve as a customer is your new truck clean and shiny brand new. Customer service is what you deserve. It is your home while driving, also your office as well how you make a living, Scania do better for drivers! So this is your new ride then, can't wait to see your vids on the way congrats, thanks for sharing.
I've been to Smith's a couple of times to pick units up,one was for a mate it was ex WS,it was in great condition but he did have a none fault bump on the M62 one day,the reason I mention it was because he had hells teeth to try and get the camera downloaded with no help from Stobart,just thought I'd mention it,look forward to next vlog.
Nice truck Pete but they could have presented it a bit better that would have been an irritation for me as well, that industrial estate you went into I’ve delivered to a company on the right where the loading ramp was sitting.
Whoever cleaned the 'outside' did a good job! It would have probably taken no longer than 15-30 minutes to have the lockers and the floor looking prestine. Why would you leave it like that knowing you were coming to collect it? (Showing my ignorance, is the 660S the cab spec? Only gov.uk shows it as a R500?) I bet you boss wasn't too impressed. Far do's though, get it out of there and back to the yard, half an hour to sort it out how you want it.
No the model is a 660S .Gov is wrong and has now been changed but hasn’t updated yet. Actually quite common for them to get the model wrong on there and a pain to get it put right
In an Owner Driver and shes Not Valedaited very well and looks better outside than in I certainly wouldn't take it away until cleaned inside its like a Dogs lived in there abousluty Discussting
I met you years ago at the retro show at gaydon, you had ptm's f12 there, i see snt transport has it now in scotland, tommy rathmells doing well, remember not so long ago he was driving for shipley tsp, i can never figure out why these nearly new trucks come onto the market, 23 reg !,. i also saw that yellow ex robbie burns fh (or its sister) was recently advertised for sale,. i bought an ex thorburn volvo f12 400 gt 6x2 tag off smith bros years ago, they had a picture of it on the old office wall in widnes, i bought that for cash £32000 for an f reg in around 95/96 ish, put a driver on it and he was a nightmare, he was everything you aren't, accidents, git claims, blowouts, breakdowns, fines etc , sold it back to smiths after 6 months and got £28000 for it, i kept my f88 (profile pic) going untill 2000, then went from o/d to own account company driver, easy life and good money and "free trucks" new volvo fm waggon & drag for 13 years and a 63 reg fh4 gt with new montracon curtainsider for 7 years untill i retired in november 22 @ 68.5 y/o,.happy days,...

Been over to Ireland many times both in a truck and car north and south. I wear it abroad because it gives them an excuse to stop you if you don’t.
Well said Pete.F**k um
