Kev..... As much as i hate to say this...... I want your job.

[@svennap3125]

I drove those Renault D series trucks as a box truck for over a year. I do not miss them, they are awful to drive. That struggle with the gear box I'm glad to see that it's on every one of those and not just mine. Cheers, great to look at these old vids and be reminded that I'm moving on to better material

[@messerschimdt9900]

Again,so much respect for you watching you backing out of those narrow streets. You never get stressed,or frustrated. I don't know how you do it!

[@thetraindriver01]

Great vid Kev, please could you sort the high music volume to speech ratio? Just a little quieter with the music so I don’t have to turn up and down the volume on time lapses, thanks 👍👍👍

[@makiwa]

Yes, I agree - thanks.....

[@bostedtap8399]

Less traffic, more cars parked 🤔🤔🤔. Great vlog, nice driving. Thanks for sharing and stay safe all.

[@jacklee7597]

It's just joy and pleasure to watch your channel in this difficult time just to switch off what's going on at moment just enjoy your new video big thumbs up 🤗 enjoy rest of your Sunday kev keep safe and my son's favourite bit was you driving little Peugeot car on to truck

[@johnchristopherbutler1152]

Nice bit of street manoeuvering Kev.Looks like your enjoying being back, I am still in isolation, been nearly 6 weeks now,really starting to mess with my head,am glad to be able to ride virtual shotgun mate,it's really saving my sanity, thanks mate.Stay safe & keep on truckin'.

[@haydenuk02]

Brilliant work and thanks for the content stay safe

[@frankhughes4088]

And what is it your modelling Kev? I enjoyed the journey around Southampton. Used to deliver for a firm called Railex who made office filing cabinets etc out of Southport. We would get loaded on a Monday morning and be out for the week delivering to offices, companies and government offices around Britain, even delivered to Downing St, to the chancellors house / office. Was a great lifestyle, and watching you driving really brings back so many great memories. That was in the days of the log book and early days on the tachometer, putting a new card in every day with 10 1/2 driving days . Keep up the good work, your obviously enjoying your days now compared to your artic days.

[@makiwa]

It's funny seeing you drive around areas that I am so very familiar with......

[@FantaInVw]

Glad your back out on the road!

[@christopherfarmer5626]

Great vlog Kev those roads are tight glad to see you in my neck of the woods in Totton.Great camera angles keep up the good work mate.

[@truckerjay]

great episode mate, some snazzy editing too.

[@KevTee]

Cheers jay, looking forward to the mayhem in your vlog this evening 😂 kzbin.info

[@truckerIan]

Took a year out of artic driving to drive a bin truck around Chorley it was the hardest type of driving I've ever done.

[@christophersmith3703]

Yep, i did a morning on a dust cart as a agency driver for our local council. I left after a few hours, the agency told me they wanted a driver, not a Driver/loader. Wouldnt have minded helping with the big Euro bins etc, but there was only 2 of us when there should have been 4, 3 minimum.

[@truckerIan]

@@christophersmith3703 I didn't mind getting out to help from time to time. Stopped you getting lazy.

[@neiltill7414]

Hi kev, I'm new to your Vlogs and im really enjoying them, having a few late nights/ early mornings catching up with things you did in your artic and some of the tight spots you got into, reminds me of my days on the road driving a 7.5t lorry smaller yes but still sent me to some very silly places that a transit van would of had trouble getting down, thanks again from Rural East Yorkshire near Hull.

[@LocalmotionSpain]

Gotta love surburban residential streets - nice driving! Back to work myself tomorrow - baling and delivering hay. Unfortunately my lorry is not as posh as yours (it's a 18t 1998 iveco tipper) but she gets the job done and it'll be good to get back on the road after nearly 8 weeks locked up. Keep up the great vids - greetings again from Spain 👍

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Good morning Kev. Have a cup of Tee to help wake you up! Hope your keeping safe!

[@johnwhitehouse5244]

Thank you Mr Kevtee. Another video really enjoyed. Think you are getting to like the Side Streets. 😂😂. Thanks again. Take care and stay safe and safe trucking. John Whitehouse.

[@peterfrazer1943]

Thanks Kev, Sunday night lockdown, no Pub but a bottle and a Kev Tee video, what more can we want!! I was thinking watching the first drop, can you imagine what those side roads will be like when Lockdown is over and all those Cars are on the move. There may be harder days ahead Kev.😡😡 Thanks again mate, love the vids.

[@peterbarker6249]

Impressive driving ! If l were to do it my trailer would be full of cars l had stoved in on the way to pick up the actual cars requiring salvaging !

[@christyler373]

greetings from norfolk take your time have fun

[@lanehogger1532]

Great video Kev. I grew up in Fareham and took my driving test in Gosport. Nice to see how the m27 roadworks are progressing,👍🏼

[@alward9901]

Hi Kev i see you checking the height with the yard stick , back in the 60’s I had 6 MGB ‘s going to Felixtowe docks and came to a low railway bridge ,all the other older drivers waving & shouting you can’t go that way , I got to the bridge and lowered the top deck just 6 inches from the bottom deck and when through just holding on hydraulics only , I never when that way again or pulled that stunt again I was young and stupid , thanks for listing all ways enjoy your vids AL .

[@robertmustard1203]

Hi kevtee great vlog mate loving these new vlogs mate my dad was a truck driver for 40 years and he always told me if in doubt reverse and he always said stop on the road get out and walk up and look at the street he did home delivery for argos for 2 years lol great vlog mate keep them up.

[@richardhancock2771]

That's what I call very good driving reversing all that way up a narrow road

[@KevTee]

Thanks Richard 👍

[@ShipsNVehicles]

Hi kev Great to see the Spec in action, it was spectacular lol. Honestly great to see it.

Must be good to be back at work, looking like you are enjoying your new job, stay safe mate

[@spyglass123]

24:15 i love how they just stop and watch, It's always narrow in gosport streets.

[@jayd1974]

Not a bad video pal👍

[@valfaulkner648]

I can't believe you came to Gosport and you went passed my house twice! At least I now know you come this way I will look out for you. Loved this vlog, but I wouldn't like those tight streets.

[@trevorpitt5883]

Good video again. The only trouble I have is when you speed them up and vehicles turn in front of you. Nice to know in my old age my brake foot still reacts. What you will like is my wife's reaction this morning " Oh is your trucking vlogger back? I see your foot-stamping and swearings at it again."

[@andybryant2492]

Hi Kev,love watching your videos on KZbin so entertaining to watch we have drivers from trent’s picking up end of life vehicles I work at formula one Autocentres in Poole so I do mention to the drivers how good your videos are keep up the good up the good work give me a mention on your channel. Andy from formula one Autocentres. Cheers.

[@jbz2079]

I like what your doing now, some locations are really challenging and each pick up presents it's own problem. Also it's not like tipper work where you do the same thing on the same roads over and over. Also it's not local work all the time either, you get around seeing different places. The thing you might get fed up with is how some people park, well not so much park, dumped might be a better term.

[@alisonpatterson7756]

Abandon

[@MSI2k]

You know what - I was one of the people complaining about your new job and lack of Arctic. But I think this stuff i growing on me. 23:43 "looks a little better" .. and then you turn in and I was like "oh bugger, how the hell he's gonna get through that"

[@1cheshire]

Welcome to the world of tight Streets I'm a bin wagon driver in and around the centre of Chester all my streets are horrible like this in some you need to walk the street first to push all the mirrors in just to drive though.

[@samryman7719]

Great vlog Kev but god knows how you managed to negotiate those tight streets bugger that haha. We all know though that KevTee likes a challenge, just as well eh!!! This vlog would have made for the perfect mirror cam vlog whether your still going to be doing these I don't know? You clearly are the Legend in The Road Legends!! Look forward to seeing plenty more just like this.

[@almostanengineer]

You can tell where that trucks normally parked because the grass opposite is trashed 😆

[@Tomcroese]

Good work. it sees to be smal roads you drive on, but whit the speed you have its bigger that it sees to from the camera posisoin.

Great vlog Kev, the artics could get a bit boring,seems to be a lot more going on all the time now. Glad that you're enjoying it more too. 😊

[@SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Those cars that you're picking up look in better condition than mine and they're all newer 😂😂 That MINI only had a couple of marks on the back bumper. Think I need to get something newer. 😂 4 o'clock finish would be lovely everyday doing this job. Drive safely mate 👍

[@keithroberts4559]

New Zealand residential streets are wide, wide and wide. Even with cars parked both sides there is usually two or three clear lanes..

[@LEE-qy3sj]

That'll be the green mini in Totton then!😆....good vlogs Kev keep em coming 👍

[@dabois8845]

Hi Kev, that measuring stick answers my question as to how Scott knows how high his loads of fence posts or straw bales are on a flatbed! Yes tight residential streets really make you appreciate the skill of the bin lorry driver! I find some are tight with just an Iveco minibus😳

nice view. Thanks.👍🍺. Cheeeers.

[@letshaveya]

Bugger those tight streets for a joke, especially having to reverse out of them. You couldnt do that here, morons here would come down the street 3-4 cars in a row and just sit there and honk at you to move.

[@gatton225]

Great to see your still working..think I will say lucky....do you not have to obscure the number plates of the vehicles being collected...keep up the great work..

Only certain vehicles we have to obscure the number plates 👍

[@KevTee]

Thanks mate, glad your enjoying the videos 👍

[@thechongwolla]

It's all about the local multi-drop and tight road driving. I do multi drop in an urban trailer artic to small businesses and the odd house. it's the kind of driving that keeps your head on a swivel and your brains working. I did long distance work for 4 months and couldn't stand the boredom. Still got a sleeper cab though need a comfy nap every now and then. Shame you have a Renault D cab. It is so basic it's an insult. Their T range is my favourite motor.

[@ChannelReuploads9451]

Ahhh yes, the thin streets, and hilly roads of Portchester. (at the start of the video, Found by the street names)

[@simonebers1221]

Happy Xmas to you and your family are you going to get some strobes for your truck

Is it true the technical name for insect splatter on the windscreen is "bumblesplash"? If not then I think it should be 👍😂

Love it 😂

[@Drdee1]

Looks can be deceiving, but some of the cars you pick up are in pretty good condition and they're going off to be broken for spares! At least they are being recycled I guess

[@osprey2k5]

Prefer the camera on the bunk as opposed to the dash I drive a furniture lorry which while only a 7.5 tonner is 36 feet long on home deliveries all over the UK and some of the access I come across due to bad parking is unbelievable
