[@Stevesixty7]

You and Floz are the best, you are top tier drivers. Why you both don't have more subs is beyond me.

[@FordyHunt]

Agree with this

[@TruckinDavo]

Who's Floz?

[@Stevesixty7]

Trucker Floz. Romanian guy living and working here like Raul, both top drivers. Check his channel out.

[@TruckinDavo]

Will do

[@steveb6676]

I love how you are picking up the English insults, brilliantly and correctly used!! 😆😆👍

[@CreRay]

You are so right about drivers not letting you after you making space for them.... Just brainless, these people, making the whole profession look bad.

[@slackalice6540]

Some drivers ! We’re not all brainless…… unfortunately the brain dead ones are becoming more common

[@CreRay]

@@slackalice6540 Exactly my point! Speaking as a truck driver myself 👍

[@slackalice6540]

@@CreRay 👍

[@andrewknapton8121]

Yes some drivers are selfish and brain dead. When another lorry does you a favour and lets you out give them space to get back in again.... it's not just courteous it keeps traffic flowing better. They are dickheads... shame on them

[@allanshillinglaw3083]

That is one of my biggest hates mate, pulling out to the middle lane let someone on and they sit there for miles,or even start undertaking you if they’ve got that little more speed, absolute wankers! All the best, Allan

[@john1703]

I'm "glad" that it was another truck driver. This shows what I have come to learn, that not all "professional" truck drivers deserve that title.

[@ciaranburke04]

This drives me insane too, if someone does this to me and I manage to get in front of them I slow down to piss them off 😂

[@jonbell3020]

Proper pain in the arse!.. doesn’t bother me if they go faster and you can pull in behind or slower and let you in front but just sitting there level so you’re stuck in the middle lane is just moronic.

[@vitdolinski6494]

7:00 I remember when another truck driver kept me like this for miles then I saw maritime truck ahead going 52. I slowed down to 53 😀

[@jonathangraham9989]

DHL or a Mercedes are good for a overtake too

[@Raul689]

Don't tell anyone. I sometimes do the same 😄

[@Daveyengland]

I’m a new driver but I’ll always let the guy in, who moved over for me when I entered the motorway. It’s very rude to cause them inconvenience after they let you on.

[@wodm]

same here

[@pepsibear4385]

Agree I always let them in.

[@minidriversouthsweden5137]

That’s why I don’t move out in lane two. To let someone in from the motorway slip road. It happened to me countless times too and now even if it’s clear in lane two I stay in lane one. They can merge in turn in front of me or behind me. There’s nothing saying that I have to change lane to let them in. Also that you sir nails the british insults. Great video and stay awesome.

[@royrowlands352]

Good driving Raul, should ask them to give two way radios to the driver and the banks man because your working blind

[@stev579]

Raul! The man that CAN! Was great hearing you say, "a bit of a bugger" haha, made my night!

[@paulsherwood6010]

Winds me up as well Raul..when you let them out but they won’t let you back in..

[@kenwarburton2578]

Well done Raul. If it is still going. you should enter the Lorry Driver of the Year competition. As for drivers leaving you stranded in the middle lane, to me it is just common sense for them to reduce the cruise speed by one mile per hour as you say for a matter of a few seconds.

[@henktulp4400]

I drive articulated for shop distribution..... ever so often I end up in tight spots that would cause nightmares to most drivers.... I won’t say I am particularly good at it but I always get there although I rarely cause damage.... I’ve been doing this job for less than 2 years now... AND I LOVE IT!!! One thing I must add: our trailers’ rear axles are steered.... you won’t believe the manouvres we can make.... Greetings,Henk,Elim,the Netherlands.

[@AllDarkAngel]

When someone keeps me in the middle lane after letting them in from the slip road, I just put my indicator on to show I want to move back over. Normally they take the hint, and back off. But yer really you shouldn't need to do that, but some people are just clueless.

[@williamfence566]

When i'm left hanging in the middle lane I just indicate left 3/4 way past and edge very slightly over. They soon back off 🤣. Does my head in when I knock it down for a few seconds when it's the other way around .

[@henktulp4400]

And about the overtaking.... all our trucks are limited to 82km/h.... most other trucks go faster.... but only by just a bit!! I always release the Cruise Control if they overtake me... I can understand:most driver jobs mean: making as much kilometres as possible.... in a 15 hr day I am stil way under 9 driving hrs... we aren’t in hurry,it doesn’t hurt us to let other HGV’s pass quickly....

[@kamianseniorgluten-freefoody]

Anyone that is watching this reversing and doesn’t drive HGV, this reversing is very very 😮 good, (keep you on your toes) is an understatement it’s more like brilliant. 👍👍👍👍

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

I want to reverse into this yard. It's the ultimate test.

[@rusest2593]

If I see another lorry driver wants to overtake me I drop speed to 50. Because if he gained on me, that means he's faster than me anyway. It's no point to drive like an idiot and challenge other drivers. It doesn't matter if you get to your destination 5 minutes earlier or later. We all want to end our day next to our families at home. Stay safe ❤

[@williamc6564]

Ul is magnificent in everything. I love how he can get such a huge massive long vehicles in and out of tight spaces. It sooooo amazing what he is able to do. I❤Raul.

[@simonbailey59]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video buddy, excellent reversing. I drove Class 2 for DHL on the Nisa contract having passed my test one month previously, reversing into tight spots became second nature where you need balls of steel haha. Keep up the great work 👍

[@KamilJan95s]

Love the content mate and I agree with everything you said about other ‘professional drivers’ keeping you in the middle/right lane. A similar situation that really frustrates me is when you start overtaking a loaded truck up an incline and you’ve passed half their truck, and then as they get to the top of the hill they start to speed up and eventually match your speed and then they keep you in the middle/right lane until they hit another incline. Like you said 1 km/h and soon enough you’re past them

[@RandomDroneAdventures]

Your skill really showed here, nicely done! 👍

[@CodOfWar1]

Head movements are no problem for me, it's great to see what you're looking at when manoeuvring. Great job, I couldn't do it! 👍

[@aurimasav7612]

I can relate to this video so badly 😅 reversing, other drivers, everything 😂

[@TommyFibonacci]

Some real skills on show here, nice one 👍

[@LA-fr7fx]

Thank you 👍👍

[@eddyrourke5514]

After a 14hr day what I needed to relax was Raul blaspheming for a minuet solid (7:00-8:00mins) for one of my pet hates. Love your swearing Raul, was you saying fk sake that got my subscription :D

[@Raul689]

😄 thanks!

[@jackpaulpennington7168]

Great work brother 🚚

[@terrynicholson9273]

Same as doing the old Kent Messenger Newspaper. You had to keep your offside wheels on the yellow line and watch that as the nearside was so close to the wall that if you used that mirror you would think you were scraping down the wall. The clamp truck would take the reels off the offside and then you had to skate the nearside reels to the back door.

[@richardlanger4067]

Scania from wish 😂 I’m 22 and I’d love to be a HGV driver. I’ve passed my driving test since I was 17 your videos are inspiring me to get the CAT C license and get out on the road always been fascinated by top blokes like yourself

[@Mike_5]

Top job with the backing in as most driver's love a chance to show their reversing skills off as it was a very big part of your HGV training! Maybe even put a 🙂 on the Customer's face too?

[@Being_Jeff]

Enjoyable watch as usual, like that headcam view 👍

[@brianjones8320]

Top driver raul👍

[@stevencoyne4971]

Great video mate!👍👍👍👍

[@bradburyrobinson]

I've driven around that estate in my little car and can't even start to imagine how you manage to reverse your truck back into that yard.

[@jaydee6997]

Well done mate very impressive reversing there ....i just hope i never go there lol!!!

[@raymondpearce5245]

Brilliant video

[@kennethjones1441]

Thanks.

[@TruckinDavo]

Awesome job!.. if your boss at 3D watches your vlogs, i bet he takes notes. When planning loads i bet they say "Raul can do it" 😂

[@donokell7867]

Thank's Raul what I like about your video is you say it has it is good man we enjoy it in Thailand till next time keep safe 😅

[@tony78uk48]

Real world stuff on this channel...🙂👍

[@johnsteed9083]

Very interesting Raul. In France when this happens, the truck you are overtaking will slow to let you in, thereby unblocking the lane behind you.

[@loyd4you]

Got to love Formby :)))

[@tommyd4829]

I feel your pain mate getting kept in lane 2 !! So annoying 🤬 literally ain’t got a second to spare I hate that

[@DJ-Daz]

Raul I used to work for R F Fieldings in Stockport after I passed my test, my first time in London was a place that it was so tight we had to pull the mirrors in and look out the window! All for Asda's pitta bread.

[@joobie1000]

Like a boss 👌👌👌

[@johnf3779]

I hope Robbie and Paul are paying you well

[@mishafrog8786]

GOLD STAR Raul ! thats a tight one for sure, At least 40ft s are easier to reverse

[@shanesmith3997]

Plenty room but well done driver and none of this you tube fame bollocks like other channels 👍

[@johngregson9827]

Sometimes it’s like having marcel marso guiding you back often in the dark your not sure if their scratching their 🏀 balls, good vlog once more, have a good day brother

[@CabOnTarget]

Good maneuvering

[@neilmcdonnell2964]

Impressive!

[@CreRay]

Hats off for delivering to a place like that, I don't know if I could have done it. It is a 13,60 you have on right?? I remember they hired a new guy in the company where I used to drive for (on Saturdays). It was his first drive out of driving school and he got really stuck. He phoned the boss literally crying and said "I'm not driving a single meter anymore!". If it was a place like this, I couldn't blame him. Obviously the poor guy was in panic, I don't think he ever drove a truck anymore.

[@joshymankeira]

Sadly it would seem that the code of conduct between drivers isn’t there anymore. Most certainly the professionalism has disappeared. Standards have dropped.

[@garyclarke3306]

Reminds me of a tip in Chelmsley wood I did on 3rd November nitemare place

[@jayd1974]

Yeh it’s annoying when you let someone in and they don’t let you back in🤬

[@brianbridle951]

Much the same as the Coop in Long Melford

[@ADAKAR83]

16:25 ... and now You know why they are helpfull and know what to do. Its a polish thing ;-)

[@IgorNowy642]

This is why I don't move over but if I end up somehow in this situation I put indicator on. They usually wake up then and slow down

[@johngregson9827]

So many cars, so many wing mirrors to collect lol

[@bazzahead7282]

Thicko’s! They must be just thick. You let them out and…🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TRUCKERJOES]

At 6:39 just open the left indicator will force him to hit the brakes it works sometimes. 😎

[@johnjames2704]

A trucking job from hell that Raul

[@Alan-bx9lb]

He's giving you two fingers 😅

[@tonyfox7439]

When I am being overtaken I drop the cruise by a couple of kph to allow for a quicker safer overtake, once the other truck is in front I flash them in then put the cruise back up to max. It makes no impact on my journey time

[@patricknewall5634]

Whoever plans the layouts of trading/industrial estates in Britain, have never tried to deliver to them in a lorry. Narrow roads, cars and vans parked everywhere( mostly badly), and quite often customers who won't come out to give you a hand. Glad I'm retired, because it looks far worse these days. Good luck with your endeavours.

[@gmeredith8834]

I'd tell them to go and do one!

[@buzx1313]

i used to use mr ohms when i was an electrician ..

[@TheSwedishTrucker]

Wow, Good job! I would not try it to be honest. I'm to green :D

[@bobbynator]

We are not getting well😂😢😢

[@user-dm3hs5rd3g]

Proper driver

[@johngregson9827]

Lots of ignorant drivers these days I’ve noticed. The calibre of drivers coming into the industry has slipped sometimes it’s inexperience but mostly it’s pure ignorance.

[@greensidemags]

to busy not looking & ranting about the driver not letting him in , while the other driver is flashing him in.

[@mikemarsh1080]

Brilliant raul,most off the new drivers are the ones with no courtesy when you pass them,it’s a case of foot down and your not having my space mentality .W⚓️s..I’ve also been on that trading estate so know exactly what you’re talking about. Chin up mate,great work.

[@user-uk2jx8ku5n]

How do you know most of the drivers are new…???

[@garrygrant2827]

Hi raul689 i am an owner driver with 35+years experience and i must say your reversing skills are very good as that was fairly tìght my friend. I agree with you there are many rubbish car drivers out there that keep you hanging and wont let you in . I drive a scania 770s v8 and do a lot of European work from scotland to spain italy Portugal or Austria Romania and Hungary with fresh salmon. You get lots nutter car driving all over does my head in some days but i like your videos very enjoyable safe driving my friend a true professional

[@steve5x565]

It wasn’t a car driver he was complaining about, it was the dickhead in the other lorry that he let out.

[@Raul689]

Cool 🤙

[@Marlboro_Lancer]

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of days ago, move over to let someone in, they stay beside me at the same speed, i did a real quick flick of the wheel towards them, he got scared and hit the brakes hard. easiest way to solve it.

[@SpikeBlighty]

Amazing bit of reversing into that tip point. Your spatial awareness of the truck and trailer is top draw.

[@martinsulewski]

Scania from wish love it 😂 i drive them MANs as well but never treat them as high as a Scania from wish 😂

[@philmulrooney7020]

Might have assisted if you signalled to change lane to remind the other driver to return the compliment, some people need a little push to do the right thing.

[@ZippyPenguinTribute]

New pass that driver that kept you out in lane two shirley! Knobhead whoever he was. Nice reversing skills, banksman was good lol

[@unclegargameldgargameld4888]

just proves there are lorry drivers & people who drive lorries

[@hindustanicricket]

i feel your pain bro he should have slowed down.

[@Emmet-xf4st]

These kind of jobs is were the experiance payes off i wouldn't try that one

[@Igor-ps5cd]

They don't pay you enough 👍

what sat nav are you using?

[@johnshaw4140]

Try reversing into the pyramid in Milan or the football stadium in Karlshruhe , honestly , if you haven't reversed in WITHOUT Wingmirrors because the space is too tight then you're just blagging it mate. Try reversing into the many concert venues in Europe that were never designed for trucks.....when you've reversed blind side into the underground loading bays at the Royal Albert Hall , around a corner that you can see nothing around ( through a brick wall ) THEN tell us how wonderfull that you are

[@MattyEngland]

Cry moar John

[@johnm5092]

There’s always one driver spouting shite, isn’t there? Try driving a truck without a steering wheel, blindsiding your twin splitter bellend slowly into your own anus while being upside down, covered in food and suspended by rope above a pack of hungry tigers

[@truth3358]

And the NEC. Bournemouth he have a panic attack reversing and under Wembley arena Some of his videos are a bit dramatic all he doing is everyday driving container work lol

[@wiganer9912]

Video or it didn't happen!

[@deepfiix]

I had a banksman once, he watched me reverse into the side of a car....that was the first and last time I ever follow the banksman's directions,

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

I had a guy try to reverse me in somewhere last week. One hand above his head waving backwards with his hand. I got out and told him how to do his job. Side swipes below chest height, hand above head means stop 🛑.

[@247ADIE]

why not shorten trailer before rev in Raul? if pushed for space outside gates

[@Raul689]

It's harder to reverse with a short trailer. Also, there is too much weight on the back axles, so it does not help at all

[@okbustaman]

I get that is well when i give them way by moving out of my lain..... some lorry drivers are stupid

[@bobbynator]

Raul , how's the industry going?

[@Raul689]

Containers are really quiet. Been laid off for 1 week

[@sk1nzsk1nz34]

There was a time when we didn't have speed limiters. None of this stupid 7 mile elephant racing malarkey. Any rookies watching, note how the set up with the 40 foot container made everything easier. 50% of going backwards is about setting yourself up to start with. Nice bit of reversing mate.

[@truth3358]

IF You haven’t got the speed to go past DONT simples

[@tripnick555]

If you are criticising Raul, I think you may have misunderstood what happened. Raul moved over to the 2nd lane to allow the other truck to join from a slip road, but that truck left him out in lane two and maintained an identical speed preventing Raul from moving back. Raul was not overtaking. Raul could previously have forced the other truck to slow and merge behind, but instead made it easier by moving over. The right thing to do if that happens is to drop your speed by a tiny fraction for literally 10 seconds to allow Raul to clear him and move back. Instead he sat there matching his speed and forcing Raul to sit on lane two for miles. Awful driving and completely worthy of Raul's comments.

[@mohamedadan5842]

Raul maté from a newly qualified class 1 driver of 2 years, I’d say you was in the wrong. When you was in the second lane. When your learning your HGV license it clearly says in the books that you should not flash another driver to let them in. That’s one reason another is no she shouldn’t get off the cruise control for you. Why take a chance to let a sh*t driver in front of you. And if you really wanted to be in the left hand side, about you slow down for 10 seconds and the lorry can pass you and you can change into you beloved left hand land. That lorry driver owns no nothing stick to your lane. And he’ll stick to his lane. Ps I’ve done this before where I was cruising and the lorry driver on the second lane was fcking and abusing me. Just coz I was driving in my own lane???? What law says I have to give you way, so you can slow me down with your sh*t driving. Main but if what I’m saying is don’t worry about other’s driving their lorries if you want to change lanes you should do better driving like actually slowing down indicating and slowly but surely move to the left..
