Hello , hi im bobby from Athens and i want to thank you through this comment for the information you gave us in one of your last video which was about one hole from the inside trailer regarding illegal activities,,,, I am totally new driver and starting my career by Monday in Germany and watching a lot videos to collect enough information that what things can i face working as an international driver . And that video helped me a lot . Wish you a best of luck god bless you always and thanks for the solid information

Hi sherralin ,I find your videos very calm and relaxing to watch I have held my class 1 for only 8 months managed to find dribs and drabs of class 1 through agency I find it inspiring that your so calm with whatever you do I am just about to subscribe to your channel I can only hope once I reach the 1 year milestone I will find a permanent employer held my class 2 for 9 years that doesn't seam to make much difference in the eyes of a employer my digicard is clean too.Look forward to more upcoming videos.

I'm with you I can't see why people insist on fitting bull bars on their trucks it's not as if they look all that good 🤷‍♂️

I have friends who love the look and those that don’t. Each to their own I guess.

Sherralin, the new lorry looks fantastic. Good to have a micro - can't beat home made food. What's the fridge like? Keep on trucking!!

[@GBtrucklady]

Fridge is good. Thank you.

[@desmondpatrick1892]

Looking at the combination,it's still running high over the turntable. You would probably be able to shave 2" of height off the front end of the fridge by using lower profile tires on the truck,giving the rig a flat matching profile .However this will alter the final drive ratio giving the truck less fuel mileage..Alternatively higher profile tires on the trailer to even things out.On the continent operators seem to give more time to buying combinations that run flat when running loaded and empty saving crucial height on the trailer .

[@Paul-tu2rx]

Great video good to see you doing something different i often wondered why trucks on continent were only two axels now i know why stay safe keep up the good work i wonder if you.will miss your scania??👍👍

[@GBtrucklady]

Yes I do 😀

[@burgerman3]

Nice looking Daf. What was the recovery guy thinking putting a strap around the bull bar. The daf always had a great mattress on the bunk.

[@GBtrucklady]

Good question! 😁👍🏻

[@selfbuild5311]

Sorry, I'm watching this a little bit behind the times. With regard to the number of axles on tractor units that British hauliers purchase for European work, I am not sure I understand the cost benefit of fewer axles and bigger fuel tanks. I can see that the range of a truck is improved quite a bit but if you're buying fuel over there anyway it must be all much the same price. The only financial benefit I can see for a British haulier is if a truck returns with full tanks on the ferry. Is that enough of a saving to make two axles worthwhile? If so, I guess there are a certain number of European trips a two axle truck must do in say a year to make the saving over the cost of the extra road tax. Is my thinking correct or am I getting this wrong? Love the videos and your explanations. It's probably due to your clarity that you get extra questions like this - sorry.

[@GBtrucklady]

Some countries the fuel price is significantly lower, obviously making it better to fill there. The difference in road tax is only £310 which will soon be recouped. Also Europe generally the overall weight allowed is 40tonnes, in the UK it’s 44tonnes but there are rules on how it’s spread, hence the need for 3 axles, some Scandinavian countries are higher and there are special exceptions but by loosing an axel you are adding payload weight available and then fill with fuel before crossing back to UK. Most European controls (transport ministry checks) only check overall weight not axle weights, in fact I have never had axle weights checked in Europe, only in UK. Not to mention the savings on tyres, brakes etc. Personally I prefer a 2 axle unit, shorter wheel base the better, as this makes them very manoeuvrable and really easy to get in tight spaces. Thanks for watching. 😁

[@selfbuild5311]

@@GBtrucklady Thanks for your info. I can see from the footage how the improved manoeuvrability is a bonus. That delivery where the vans needed to be moved looked really restricted. Cheers 👍

Who wants to drive in the snow.? 3” of snow actually shuts down most countries, Drivers don’t carry snow chains. A lorry will get stuck very easily & just wheel spin & it’s the same for cars. Totally agree with food, make as much as you can

[@GBtrucklady]

@@chris77777777ify It’s illegal to use snow chains in the UK. Strangely it’s illegal not to carry/use them in a lot of European countries, including Poland, parts of Germany etc.

[@yodaslovetoy]

OK let address this. The uk gets maybe 1" to 6" of snow a year, that lasts maybe 2 days at most. Yes we're unprepared for it. yes we don't care

[@jbbumpkin]

Buying food out seems to be quite a generation thing. I`ve been used to taking food from home, having a flask for hot drinks, even soup when it was cold ad it was a real pain when I had younger work mates who always needed to buy food. You would have to make your site safe and drive off-site and try to find somewhere to park with a larger vehicle. Even worse if you`ve already passed that place on your way to the job but they never said anything. And then they moan because they`ve got no money but they can`t be a***d to bring something from home, even if it`s only a pie and a can of drink!

[@GBtrucklady]

Yep, my thoughts exactly 😀

[@KJRS3001]

Yes I agree, I remember days before all the fast food and garages were for fuel. Cafes and services were the only places. Lads now have to stop in the morning and go out during the day, loses time on jobs.

[@GBtrucklady]

He was from a large, well known recovery company. Unfortunately I’ve only had this lorry for 5 mins, although I didn’t think it was a good idea, I had to leave the decision to the “professional”. You can advise but at the end of the day it was his job.

I wouldn’t swap a daf for a scania no way

[@GBtrucklady]

[@chris77777777ify]

6X2 are safer, can carry more weight & is better, much rather have a Scania than that Daf.

[@GBtrucklady]

Both combinations are safe. Can only carry 40t in most of Europe (exception being some Nordic countries) so overall weight isn’t an issue with the work I do. Yes I prefer Scania but when you work for someone else you drive what you’re given. 😁👍🏻

[@vanontherun2843]

hardly her fault the recovery mas is the expert and it's his balls up, I imagine his company will pay for the damage rather than making a claim. I'm no fan of roo bars personally the truck looks a lot better without it, not to mention the extra weight being lugged around and the negative effect on the aerodynamics reducing the mpg of the truck.

[@GBtrucklady]

They’re the “experts”. You can advise but never tell someone how to do their job.
