HGV Adventure: From Manchester to Scotland - Collecting the Unknown and Delivering Against Time!

[@davidwright793]

As a long retired trucker I really enjoy your videos. they bring back all the joys of life on the road but also all the frustrations and stress which just about convince me I'm glad to be retired!

[@equaliser2265]

Multi drop is a pain, I used to do multi drop in Europe, tramping around, mainly with my Renault Magnum , manual transmission, Reefer trailer. No GPS , just maps and no mobile phones, just bliss.

[@amberandcoco5497]

Old school trucking with just maps and ask locals for directions, using satnavs makes life really easy these days don’t it

[@brianbrown8845]

Jay, you deal with the stress in a great way, another great video.

[@williamfence566]

I guess you were told to put your Hi viz on (12:50-13:15 ) 🤣. Used to deliver kitchens and hadn't a clue what the part numbers mean't as they didn't correspond to the paperwork . Just hoped it was loaded right !

[@knichols8899]

Another great video Jay. Thank you for sharing

[@turbochargemak]

Many thanks Jay, the white Bull Nose truck, think I have seen her on the canal boat vids I watch. Love that stretch of water you showed us. Take care.

[@adobe3910]

12 drops on an artic!!! Credit where it’s due 🙏👍

[@vitdolinski6494]

8:50 there are few difficult places where I deliver and need to reverse from busy street. Always makes my day when somebody around says well done or something

[@andrewcassidy7795]

Another great video mate. Saw you on Wednesday in Gateshead passing team valley trading estate stuck in them lovely road works. Give u flash n wave but you not see me. Looking forward to next one mate.

[@MrTerryb1956]

Brilliant loved the visit to Manchester Train care Centre , my company use to clean the Virgin Trains there about 25 years ago brought back some memories

[@CF21LDB]

Finally got to meet Jenko on Sunday despite knowing him for 5 years and him living just 3 miles away from me, what a great bloke, I also met Nessa too what. Lovely lady, Was a great morning was well worth the drive up to Llandovery. My Staffy and Nessa got on like house on fire lol.

I am now a class 1 driver my self finally and I love it❤. I'm working my way up to tramping so I'm going to need some tips & tricks 👍🏻. Keep up the great work safe journey 👍🏻

HI Jay, you were following the guy from ''Mainline''. . . that company was the love child of a guy named Ron Atkin, who sadly passed away last year . . Put his life into building the company. . Take care .

Excellent video yet again mate look forward to next one. Let's go donkey!

[@johnmoloney5296]

You were lucky there jay ,those train power lines could have been a "shocking" experience 😂😂😂😂

[@toe102]

love seeing you in the hood and not understanding a word haha not sure if you showed all drops but some of them could ave been in a better order but i know as well all about drop off times

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

The one place you would expect a site induction lecture would be here! Beware were you are when strapping etc. That coy you were delivering to should certainly of had CB aerials on their checklist! At level crossings, the clearance height is 5.6m for loads; For a CB aerial, I am not a fizzist, but I would certainly rein it in long before that! Hah-hah! Brill vlog!

[@stokesy1110]

alstom ive got a site induction for central rivers tomorrow then got to do all the london ones and crewe

[@entity_dragons2013]

Hi jay Did you have to pay the parking ticket in your last video

[@adamsher86]

Great vlog Jay. The scottish accent can be a nightmare but its a nice drive up with great scenery. Part of y wifes family are from up there. Question for you, how do you find the manual truck a d do you prefer autos?

[@adamsher86]

@Alan-gx8gf depending where you come from absolutely!

[@fastcars1972]

Hard work to understand the B-road Scottish lol you was like o ok lol

[@josht9509]

The video description was superb! Could mistake it for a stobart documentary 😂

[@maxthedoomer]

That woman of yours does my head in mate.

[@christyler373]

good the drops are close togerher

[@philipstanbridge6535]

I’m a train driver,we treat overhead lines as live at all times, and don’t get closer than ten feet

[@MrBallisticGaming]

Hi Jay. Does your truck have a manual gearbox? Really enjoying the videos!

[@MrMortifi69]

thank god I didnt apply for Mainline haulage, I heard on the grapew vine the wheelbarrows are a nightmare and are hand ball

[@leeloopy5850]

Defo it twists my tits when people don't indicate. There obviously an optional extra to them. Grrrrr!!! Lol

[@troyss100]

HI mate just a one question to see if you can help me with if i start wort at 1600 hour and i finish at 3am and i start again sane day at 1600 hour because i tired and it just continue form the time i last shift

[@derekbridges1126]

Hi Jay, Saw you at the Devon show, although, as much as I admire your work, I would have been, perhaps just another fan. I used to be a class1 driver, mainly in the South West, but retired nearly 2pm years ago, I thought then there were to many regulations etc, but my bug bear was the traffic congestion. Great channel and content, well done. Derek

[@crawfordg]

Multi drop is nightmare small van ,LGV its always the same you need eyes in the back of your head. When errors occur it helps if someone in charge has been in your position rather than some jumped up pen pusher. The collection from the railway yard was downright dangerous there was was insufficient roadway around the tracks. Regards Crawford

[@skullcompco]

'Norn Iron' as its pronounced ...gods wee country

[@michaelkeen5010]

Just another trucking day ehh.👍

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

For most trains its 25 000 volts

[@marknucita8284]

Let's go donkey did you get your parking ticket sorted, was the railway depot Derby?

[@rob69uk]

Not sure how they let you onto a running line with 25,000 AC volts running above.

[@michaelleaperGreyhound]

Think driver would be glad to get out of Manchester

[@shaungilmartin1505]

first thing I do with satnavs is turn the voice off

[@christyler373]

and me

[@andrewhill9313]

I work here too. 😅

[@andrewhill9313]

You should have been told and truck checked for height. 😮

[@truckerjay]

told what ?

[@johnmcgovern-ng6vm]

you have rubber tyres and would be insulated.

[@MattyEngland]

​@@DesStewartThe same still applies. I wouldn't fancy testing it, but theoretically you should be fine.

[@sk1nzsk1nz34]

It's the banksman's responsibility to ensure that your vehicle doesn't collide with anything right? That would include your CB ariel.

[@elminster8149]

@@DesStewart There should also be clear signage for overhead live powerlines.

[@neilnewall]

There no rush There I've sat there for 2 hours 😂😂

[@christyler373]

big helllo

[@Mike_5]

The Scotts have a phrase for this something like get tae fook numpty as a welcome to Scotland english person

[@scrivo8340]

If you start before 4am thought you legally could only do a 10hr wtd day

[@truckerjay]

wrong

[@johnnya2811]

4am then 10 hours, bloody lucky, drivers shift is a shift , time doesn't matter ,long as you had correct rest period, every day is game for an hgv driver,long as you follow the correct rest periods and all the bacon sandwiches, 🤔

Bad loads, bad directions awful twats of yardmen ,porters, orderlies generally muppets in charge. 1 well known distribution centre in Ireland 🇮🇪 and the uk 🇬🇧 7 and a half hour for 3 pallets of lego. Best of luck and keep it safe 👍🇮🇪
