Educational and fun to watch Nicolle. So much to remember but you do it as a true professional 😊 So happy i found you Nicolle keep on truckin !!

[@truckerbaddie]

Thank you so much!

[@Asfixiator7]

2:40 You raise it up not only so you meet the trailer but also so you don't bend the legs when doing the tug tests. I would love to see her do an assessment at Tesco.

Nichole’s giggles are the best 😂

This was very good to watch. All the things you need to check before you move off. Ordinary people like myself wouldnt know, but Iv often wondered. Something else Iv always wonddered about, is how you judge exactly where the front and sides of the tractor unit is when you are driving, particlarly in heavey traffic. For example, a town quite local to me (Im from Ireland), has a long narrow main street. Just off the main there is a large bakery, and on the south end of the town is a medium size factory, and a large mill that produces amimal feed. All of these businesses have several artics, with the mill having about 25 alone. The town is continually blocked, as the artics make their way through, taking care to aviod cars, tractors etc. The lorrys often have only centimetres to spare as they make their way through. Im always impressed at how skilled the drivers are, as there is rarely if ever a collision. Is it difficult to judge exactly how close you are to parked vehicles, when your up so high in the cab?

[@truckerbaddie]

you have plenty of mirrors to see your blind spots, and you get used to the size of the vehicle just like you do In a car 😊

[@DeanSeaman]

Ben always does the dip test 😉😂 and congrats on getting your own truck!!

[@truckerbaddie]

Yes! Thank you!

[@justinmunzlinger8471]

😂 Lol love ben's assessment and you tryin to remember what to look for. Always fun watch you too do your thing.

[@truckerbaddie]

Thanks for watching!

[@adamcampbell001]

Really enjoyed this video as I’m working on going for my Hgv test thanks guys

[@Spoon2006]

Nice video, I past my test 15 months ago and still loving most of the life of trucking. I always listen for the double click on the 5th wheel and do 3 tug tests and never dropped a trailer, another thing is skid plates can cause problems with low trailers but they do save the body work. Another trick if you have a trailer that's been dropped too high and your struggling to wide the legs up and its fully loaded, let the truck idle and wind them up. It saves alot of hassle

[@truckerbaddie]

Great tip!

[@highlandrc9036]

Thanks for this video it was both educational and fun to watch.

[@truckerbaddie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mynameiscammy2512]

not sure if you know, but supposedly if the dog clip chain isnt fixed to the 5th wheel, and loose like you had in your hand its a PG9 if its found on a roadside check, or atleast thats what i got despite having 2 dogclips to hand.

[@truckerbaddie]

thanks!

[@camrodger8638]

Is an air system check part of the test. Involves fanning the brake pedal until alarm sounds and brake valves release. Then time the build up of air.

[@user-fi8em5wy9s]

Switch engine off so you can hear air leaks whist coupling up also saves fuel not leaving idling..

[@JetDom767]

Great video Ben and Nicolle!

[@truckerbaddie]

Thanks!

[@yant8777]

Very good and helpful video.Ben knows his stuff.

[@truckerbaddie]

Glad you think so!

[@user-sz6nb1vk6q]

I wish you’d not told us the outcome before we watched it, but a great lighthearted Video, loved the banter. WoW imagine paying your money take your test & failed, not on your driving but the fact you never checked the height !!

[@Garrywoods-jc8tv]

Very interesting watch & ya did pass as ya trailer was empty lol , keep up the good work and keep these videos coming regular and a lot longer xxxxx

[@truckerbaddie]

Thanks! Will do!

[@geoffbester4919]

what about paper roll and spear roll in the head unit.

[@asp217]

The safety clip is not there to stop the handle coming out, it is designed so that if it does not pass through the hole then the handle has not gone in fully meaning you have not coupled up correctly. The clip can be left off whilst driving regardless of what the DVSA tell you. Some truckers don't use the clip and use a padlock instead but either way you don't need to have anything in the hole once you have proved that you have coupled up correctly. Also it is not good practice to leave the engine running whilist coupling/uncoupling as it wastes fuel and is not good for the environment

[@craigorford9932]

Ayy up you 2,great vlog did you get a tennis ball for the fuel fill ups?what was the forfeit for failing the assessment?Nichole are you aware on Fridays it’s free coffee so you can get instants for the truck all you need is a kettle and milk

A very good firday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset

@@truckerbaddie it's at home waiting for me thank you 😊 x

[@MrHewy78]

I always keep my hand hovering over trailer brake for a few seconds incase the whole thing starts rolling or moves for some reason , you are there to quickly push trailer break back on then. Should always do follow through checks on passing vehicles ( either side ) and especially pedestrians when passing close. Dont do that ... instant fail..

[@jamescarson4745]

Hi Nicole, hope you are well😊 Great video, informative detail, he was way too hard on you😂. In fairness you were prob a nightmare pupil even at school😂😂. Have a lovely weekend, stay safe x

[@andygj66]

What’s the reason for checking all passing HGV’s please Ben? What are you looking for?

[@truckerbaddie]

Just what the RHA advise on all driver assessments apparently

[@user-fi8em5wy9s]

Check that you have passed each other safely I was taught that when I learnt to drive...

[@guy4469]

this was funny im pissing my self, wind the legs forward i want to go forward make sure your steering wheel works check the seat . ,she should be on ch5 ,

[@mikeowen1192]

Bit of criticism why have the truck ticking over all that time add that up in cost and wear and tear over a month lots of £s wasted good luck

[@truckerbaddie]

thanks for the criticism

[@truckman4175]

Tell him to do one we all know that we look round and half of it a load of bollocks you know they are right ffs

[@kevinharker1840]

So..... what was the punishment for failing?? 🤔😁

[@DeanSeaman]

I wonder 🤔

[@antonlivingstone]

No Lose him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stephenwoodcock5189]

i`m an x instructor from when he was in nappies. he could learn to smile. its an assessment not a test. mirrors should be every 8 to 10 seconds in normal driving. the trailer should have had its height posted to the trailer. the assessor picked on the driver because he knows her, as such the assessment would be false it should have been taken by another assessor if it was a real assessment.

[@truckerbaddie]

so a low loader should have a vehicle height marker? 😂 good job you are retired

[@stephenwoodcock5189]

@@truckerbaddie yes. how tall are the ramps at the back....... as for you. if i was an examiner and you was on test with me i would have failed you.... you went round a roundabout with 1 hand on wheel and the other hand on the indicator, you was unsafe steering the obstacle (roundabout). also you entered your exit and as soon as the cab entered the exit you turned off the indicator before the trailer had left the roundabout. what would the people behind you think

[@brianwebb191]

. You only need to use a Dog Clip if the vehicle is fitted with a Shit Make 5 wheel ie FONTAIN RUBISH,

[@sisiluv199]

I do that always ,im still learner . Depends on the instructor ,you may have hard times, but then easy practice alone. Some instructors only care their pass rate , not how you drive ... I belive you are good , maybe they waste too much of your training time to reverse and cupling uncupling . You need at least 16h on the road ... and if good instructor 4h max for all the rest. I had instructior that told me We here teaching you how to pass 2 of 4 days doing reverse and cupling ,uncapling ,he was wasting my time i did cupling on fist time ,second time too ...that was all for 4h ,nothing else he started late 30 min and he let me home 30 min early , Basta*d .... im like NOOO IM HERE TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE ,I DONT CARE ABOUT PASSING THE TESTS... when i know how to drive ,i will pass even instructor or examiner hates me and want me to fail ,sooo . I asked for my refund because that was ridiculous... Im only teaching you how to pass 😅😢😢😢. Out there are good instructors, and you have to be passionate learner and not allowing those with tricks to play their game with time managment nonsense . You pay the fee , no one cant be the boss of your own money and how they will be used...
