Nice honest video without that BS that comes with others. I drive occasionally just to keep current but dont do it full time and those tippers do scare me. Class 2 be ok but class 1 would probably have my arse twitching like a rabbits nose lol

These planners must be smoking something to send artics down these roads

Nothing worse than spending a lot of hard earned on a sat nav, just to have the thing get you right in the shit!

May well be a stolen motorcycle, so he doesn't give a monkies.

They just don't think or look! Thing is as a truck driver, it's every day you have to take some sort of major avoiding action to avoid a serious accident. Stay safe out there Billy.

Hi Billy. Do most bulk tippers have the camera on the body so you can see what's happening with the load? For example, when you were loading the coal from the conveyor belt, so you knew when it was time to move the truck forward. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Enjoying and learning about the job from the videos. - Just thinking if I get the job on the bulk tippers on Tuesday (Tu.11.04.2023 - Been asked to go in and see them for a chat), I could well end up calling at some of these places. I saw you role your sheet off, then secure the rope you use to pull the sheet over the body. What have you done to stop the sheet unrolling as you're going along? I see what you mean about it being a bit tight in there. Not somewhere you would want to go to for the first time when it's dark! - Respect your driving skills there Billy, you made it look easy.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I did coal in bulk tippers many years ago. I've been out of work for a few weeks now, and the good news is I've been invited along to come and see them for a chat at a company that runs bulk tippers. So your videos re the loading and tipping procedures are invaluable. Once again many thanks, David.

Waisting your time guys

Happened to me last week in Wales I was in a road train made a right mess of my truck. 15 years in the road never had a problem it’s kinda put me off driving now. I do also use a hgv garmin:(. I did manage to get it out but it was so stressful trying to get a 18.5m truck that bends in the middle. The job didn’t help with being in a 7.5t weight limit 🤦‍♂️

Surely there should be a designated route in christ yer conna Ave that every time

I'm starting tippers soon mostly grain is all places so claustrophobic? I'm a new class 1 driver places like this scares me 😱

jesus you desreve a medal 💌

Hi Billy, that was a cracking vlog, that Cat dumper was super and I loved the time lapse music. All the best to you

Can you do a video on operating a PTO. I'm new to tipper work as I'm coming off general haulage

What a reverse

Bang average loader driver on the first load.

back when i was a new driver, i got a garmin, and was driving to uni for the 1st time, instead of an hour drive, this dam garmin keep increasing the fkg distance to a total drive time of 3-4 fkg hours. I had to finally stop because that garbage satnav took me to this rural steep slope that wasn't even a road and it was telling me to go up. It was literally like 45 degrees angle. there was no fkg way it was possible. i smashed and binned that 200£ of garbage on the same day. Although gps from google is not that great, it is still sufficient to take me where i needed to go to this day!

That was excellent. You kept a very cool head.

Explaining that one to the office lol

av used them showers before was in the same state 2 year ago old guy stopped is and said should wear flioflops while using the showers as you dont know what you will catch

Oh dear! Bonehead trucker of the week.👍👍👍🚚🚚🚚🚚

Nothing grinds my gears more is when places like that know for FACT they get HGV's but won't update the access

I thought Dublin was bad,

Rothwell truck stop near Kettering Well the toilet cubicles you had to hold your nose in there every one. looking like shit all over like a slum the showers to were on par with the toilets That was last year

Sadly it’s not just an isolated case!

that vid needs sending to there head office someone needs there arse kicking ,

Not worth smashing your truck up just to make a delivery or pickup I would refuse to go. Unless you got a ridgid lorry or a smaller trailer it's not worth it. A route plan off your customer is always helpful but sometimes you just have to go for it.

I don't think the bike even had a number plate. Riding like that, it probably won't be long before the rider removes themselves from the gene pool. Can't happen soon enough imo.

It's for this very reason that I quit my job as a Curtain-Sider & Moffett driver and went into container work. The Moffett not only adds 8 feet onto your back swing, it also increases the chance of getting hung up in country lanes. It's a lot easier manoeuvring a box and drag in a tight road than an artic.

I got stuck going to a farm a few months back its the worst feeling a driver can have i learned very quickly after that to always speak to the customer before attempting delivery even if it they dont answer for an hour or so just sit in a layby and wait its far better to sit in safety than spend 4 hours jammed up in a single track lane. good video mate👍

Lovely load set up 👍🏽

Good video ,l like the heavy haul ,I do steel myself👍

Why do more and more people treat rndabouts as race tracks

Nice video lad 👍

Wow 😯

keep the good work up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Never done any step work, looks interesting. Nice to see you back, keep ‘em coming please.

good to see you back billy how high was that machine ?

I billy wondered where you had gone to , see your on to the heavy side now are you enjoying it .

Good to see you back,good video👍

Hi buddy good to see you back missed ya vlogs hope ya keeping well and family are good keep safe mate 👍👍👍👍👍

Welcome Back 👍

2 things: 1. Firstly I’d refuse to go there to begin with especially if other drivers have had the same issues!! 2. If they forced me to go there (like threaten you with dismissal) then I would say fine but as soon as I get stuck your paying for a call out for a wrecker!! No way would have I got the farmer to pull me up even if he had offered! I’d just make them learn the hard way via burning holes in their pockets! And if they moan about the cost of getting wreckers out every time you go there then they would stop sending you there!!

only a fellow driver that does this kind of work can watch the video in its entirety. it was fun watching

for a minute I thought you were gonna try and park that thing in Lidl car park haha

watching this makes you realise how a drivers hrs can disapear like a fart in the wind lol

Absolutely no excuse. MAKE A PHONE CALL ! Ask them before you approach!

I remember being in this situation not on narrow country lanes but narrow streets in London with cars parked everywhere. Nobody helping.... only filming you on their phones. Stress is literally unbelievable 😫 A1 driving though mate

Iam get anxious just watching this never mind driving it. 😟 some great driving 👍
