[@dwdw90]

Great videos. Especially like the welsh choir voice singing '...follow it round, follow it rooooooouuunnnd' 🙂

[@The_Breeze1]

Haha thanks David 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👍🏽🤣

[@petersmith2325]

Good to see you are back, beautiful volvo, so tempted to get back driving a truck, ran my own trucks in the eighties and nineties, a bit more refined now. 😀

[@The_Breeze1]

Back when I started Peter 👍🏽. Come on leaps & bounds since then - I never had a night heater !! Cheers pal 👍🏽

[@The_Breeze1]

[@maesy6730]

I'm pretty sure I saw your company 's lorries at my local 'Dunbia' abattoir, (Llanybydder)

[@The_Breeze1]

There regularly Maesy 👍🏽. Thanks for looking in bud.

[@thesimulatorguy4248]

Love the content if you can film more of the loading. Maybe a chest mount for a go pro etc. Keep on trucking

[@The_Breeze1]

Cheers Sim guy, problem is many of the load points don’t like us filming or don’t allow access to the loading area. If I can in future I will though. Ta for watching 😊

[@henryblanton6992]

The Red Volvo FH XXXXL?; THAT’S what I Want here Stateside! Better than the Volvo VN Series here in the North American Markets. 🤔😊😎

[@The_Breeze1]

She was a beauty. Built by the owner driver apparently.

[@stugill4513]

she was nice and cheerfull thats rare there normally missrable sods , wonder how heavy that xxl is ,

[@The_Breeze1]

Not sure Stu but he was pulling “normal” trailers.

[@IanDodd-of1zy]

I am a Spanish resident so not affected by the 90 day rule. How do you as drivers get round it.

[@The_Breeze1]

We don’t atm. It’s not strictly enforced 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️😱

[@rpettifer]

Have you ever found anyone hiding when doing you’re checks?

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi Richard, I’ve been extremely lucky & not had any yet but I know plenty who have ! Stay safe & thanks for looking in mate 😃

[@truckatadders]

Greetings 🙋🏻‍♂️ Me again, how do you pay for tolls on the various autoroutes/autostradas in the different countries you transit through, is it still done via a maut or can you now buy one box that covers all road tolls in Europe? Also, what sat nav are you using? Ta muchly 🙏🏻

[@The_Breeze1]

Tolls are all on the toll boxes we use Darren. Occasionally you may go to a new Country that the boxes don’t cover in which case you buy one of theirs at the border. Ta for looking in mate 😊

[@The_Breeze1]

Sorry, SatNav is a Garmin Dezl (it’s pretty good).

[@truckatadders]

@@The_Breeze1 Much thankings 🙏🏻

[@JakeMason57]

Hi pal where do you park in/round Portsmouth?

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi Jake, great question as Portsmouth can be a nightmare ! I nearly always just park in the docks if I’m shipping out but coming back in is the hard bit. I have a couple of spots & there’s some on FB but the whole areas not good given it’s a continental ferry port 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@garrybailey5978]

Great to see the XXL Volvo. as with the bonneted trucks I thought there was an overall length you could run at. Are they running shorter trailers or has the rules changed? Enjoying your vlogs. Take it steady 🚚

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi Garry, I’m not at all sure how (or IF) they get round it mate 🤔. Good Q though & thanks for watching 👍🏽

[@alanlake5220]

Daft question , but what are they scanning for when they send you through the scanner ?

[@The_Breeze1]

Not daft at all Alan - illegal immigrants mainly 😱. Ta for watching 👍🏽

[@dfbiker]

Just found your videos. Really loving them. Keep them coming.

[@The_Breeze1]

Thanks DF, plenty more on the channel & more to come. Keeeeeeep watching 😃

[@jdefyn]

blo*dy Brexit

[@The_Breeze1]

I have to agree 🤣. Ta for watching my friend 👍🏽

[@aghauler1964]

Very interesting VLOG, the idea of trucking between continents is just mind boggling to me, Also the owner operators rig was beautiful and I wish he would have allowed you a look inside, the pathways inside the ships seem impossibly narrow but I'm sure your used to tight places, If ever possible I would enjoy a tour of a truck stop. Please be safe in travels and have a good week, Cheers!!

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi David, he let me have a quick look but I didn’t want to push for more as he was busy loading too. Looked a nice bit of kit though. Take a look at the 3 part Italian trip if you want to see some tight places 🤦🏻‍♂️. Truckstop tour is a great idea, I’ll try do one soon & thanks for watching.
