[@royjacques5650]

I support the farmers the French are not afraid to stand up to the government unlike the british.

[@mauricelevy9027]

I think the French ambulance and other essential departments plus the elderly population out there may disagree with Your comment Mate.

Great vlog David, up there with the best trucking vids on YT. 👍 I love how you explain things simply & clearly. 👍

[@billyhgvuk]

Hi buddy, I’ve not long come across your video. I’ll sub and start giving you a watch. Keep up the good work 👍

[@JackOfski]

I've had potatoes and tomatoes chucked at my truck before whilst going through France to Italy during farmers strikes a few bounced off the windscreen so was lucky but did suffer some minor dents to the cab, thing is I support their cause but had a load to deliver and 1 to collect back for the UK so had no time to hang about.

[@leebore5618]

I no its hard in haulage at minute but David your doing a great job keep up the good work i have learned alot from watching your KZbin videos 👍👏

[@whatupdan]

Loving the consistency 👍🏻

[@khuramV]

such a hard working lad and honest

[@kennethcadby]

Great video thanks

[@paulhart4381]

Keep up the good work dude👍

[@sachadee.6104]

Very good info on 'jumping the line' before customs as it turns all to be the same line after that. Not so good to move over from 207 to queue 208 because at the booth they don't know that and possibly other drivers are left without space now.

[@danielmiller2915]

I love your vlogs

[@markpierce8674]

Great video keep going

[@PillSharks]

Funny you should mention cash at Dover mate! In the early 2000s we used to run down to Paris often. It was never a full load and this time I had 2 pallets of printing paper which I had to deliver in Margraten near Maastricht. When I delivered it they gave me £5000 in cash and told me to check it.. I knew nothing about this so I phoned the transport manger who confirmed that was what I had to do, I was really pissed off as it felt wrong! My back load was Daken air con in Ostend and as I came through Dover they put me on the bay and searched the wagon. The customs officer searched the cab with me and asked to look in the safe, I said there’s £5000 in used English in there! lol. He took it out and it was wrapped in brown tape and looked like a drugs packaged. He said that feels like £5000 without opening it and I was allowed on my way but I thought I was for the high jump as I was only 26 at the time and didn’t really know if it was legal. The bloke who’s printing paper is actually my parent neighbour and I’ve spoke to him a few times since… I always remember when I handed the money over he gave me £50 which I was very happy with.

[@jasoni3281]

Keep em coming dave love ya blogs although at beginning i was hopeing trucker baddie or jordy was going to pop up enough lol ps how do you do with diet while driving keep em coming safe travels

[@brendanmchugh6440]

Safe travels 🍀

[@greggrech24]

Brings back memories when i used to do European in a curtain side van mate

[@jasonjewell2493]

One thing I can say about the French workers...they stand there ground if there not happy about change.

[@rabp419]

Yes stand you ground but when it come to vandalism of tralier drivers getting assault and stock getting damaged is band out of order ☹️😠😡

[@littlebigman6957]

They are not workers. They are clearly farmers.

[@rabp419]

@littlebigman6957 Are you saying that Farmer don't work or have staff who work for them 🤔

[@littlebigman6957]

No far from it. I am a long retired pig stockman. I just hate the phrase worker. When I worked on the farm, I was a pig stockman . These days, I would be a pig worker. It's not very nice . I believe that everyone is entitled to a proper job description . By calling people workers , to me demeans them. My wife is a midwife of 30+ years. Now, she is classed as a medical worker . She works damned hard as a community midwife and not as an NHS worker.. I'm sorry, but these modern idioms just piss me off. Rant over😂.

[@joeaston3785]

👍👍

[@paulwilson87]

Good luck

[@Truckeruk84]

Great vlog what’s the crossing like do you feel it? Keep looking at getting out uk trucking would like European but unsure at min

[@barrygilfillan]

Love watching your videos keep them coming please. Just a small question your going on about the safety of the stone and not killing you etc but yet your not wear belt.

[@brianwebb191]

The reason for no belt when the stone hits the cab he will Not be trapped in the seat lol

[@liamcronin4889]

Vlog on the ferry? Show us about?

[@batesy536]

How do you pay for the boats if your choosing one at the last minute? Is at the port kiosk?

[@ronwhite4442]

Hi Dave, love your videos although you are about 90 miles an hour lol, I have a question for you when travelling through several countries do you change the countries on your tacho as you enter them ie France as you enter Belgium do you then change your tacho to Belgium then as you enter Holland do you change it to Holland etc. I've not done European work for 20 years have the rules changed example when I left England I entered England when I finished my day in Germany I would enter Germany ready for the next day. Thanks Ron ps keep up the good work and best of luck for the future.

[@stugill4513]

dave dont worry you can never over strap aload

[@Fast_car1000]

Just shows how lawless France really is and the government hasn’t got a clue, to allow it to get to that point is ridiculous

[@robertcowie8230]

Can you explain eventually the euro freight rules with UK based transportation companies …wouldn’t less expensive euro countries trucks undercut everyone’s rates ? Good luck , be safe

[@MrSupermario21]

DC how long did your speeding ticket take to come through?

[@dalelongson4561]

did I see your truck near Annecy Start of December?

[@paulwilson87]

And be safe

[@welshboy1466]

I started a KZbin channel, and I film on my iPad and that looking see what the best editing app out there to put all the clips together

[@nigelhales874]

Watching 1st time long time I am X European 🇪🇺 driver to me every day a school 🏫 day are just 👀 I will not coment and look at coment s

[@brianwebb191]

Hi, Ref the loads that got cancelled last week ? Read between the lines ffs They Never had the work in the first place, As for takeing this job again read between the lines France is Chaos thats why you got the job in the first place lol. As for the load all it needed was dunage at the head board (ie Pallets) load the rock against it job done chain from side to side, As for the Rate ? One way trip ? if you have not got a reload better Not to have gone with it ? ( Is that why you got the job in the first place lol ) As for the Multimillionaire in Maidenhead you can see how he made his Money lol Getting jobs done for F/A.

[@sachadee.6104]

even though I don't like your negative tone, I must admit I had a few of the same thoughts. "It's for a reason the going-to-France load paid a little more than usual, and it's a "slow-load", keeping you attached to it for quite a few days.

[@brianwebb191]

@@sachadee.6104 If i had been offered it ? the price would have been round trip money, Knowing there were problems over there, plus having to use back roads, as Knowone could say how long it was goibg to take ?

[@guy4469]

I was on my bed in lane say 112 wating too board the guy in front decided too straighten his waggon a bit so he backed up hit my bumper cracked all my screen no boat for me .

[@silverfox53]

You said you was going to drive more sensible but all I’ve seen you do is heavy breaking and covered keep clear areas and entered a yellow zig zags and stopped and covered them

[@LegoEntertainmentChannel]

Why don’t you wear a seat belt? You are not setting a good example

[@paulwootton5378]

A "professional" truck driver (owner/operator) who is not too sure about weight distribution???? Strapped the load to the best of his ability...maybe that ability is not able enough... Of course, I am no expert but I would imagine that the load (stones) should be chained and secured so that you the driver is sure that they can not move (slide forward) should the driver be forced to make unexpected harsh braking? "sorry officer, I did my best, who would have though that 16 ton would make such a mess of a Nissan micra?" If only there was some way to know the strapping capability of the straps you are using...maybe a label or some thing?

[@brianwebb191]

Stones ?? turned out to be just slabs lol. A pallet on the floor at the headboard would have stopped any forward movement, as would some on the floor inbetween the rear slabs, Straps over them all good to go, Maybe trying to make an Easy job Look Hard / Difficult lol

[@Me-ie8gl]

Forgive me, but if you are given lane 207 you should park in 207 as the lanes can take a certain number of HGV trucks, so if you go to a different lane, there will be some poor bas7ard who should have a space but you will be taking it and giving them a problem because of your selfishness. Am I right or am I wrong only, God will decide and give you a problem later!
