Quick story Scott: I once listened to a farmer in Spain(oranges, backload), 'the best way back to town is . . '. Ended up driving across some allotments, me zigzaging in the unit, trailer, basically going in a straight line, taking the corner of multiple plots. Comes into town between 2 buildings, BOTH mirrors in. Drives across entire road and shunts several times to jackknife the unit so the trailer can clear the shops either side at T junction. Fortunately it was past midnight( no parked cars). MORAL : NEVER listen to farmers!!!!

It takes days like that to appreciate the good days and its a good video for new hgv drivers so that new hgv drivers can see that pearshaped days happen to experienced hgv truckers too but many truckers wouldnt have got back to yard in driving time after having a day like that and its how a driver copes with a day like that too because a new hgv trucker could let a day like that still affect them halfway through next week but an experienced trucker switches pff after shift ends and starts the next day as fresh as a daisy

Speaking as an ex bus, coach and truck driver I am a total fan of the driving position these vehicles offer for visibility. So much so I cannot usually drive anything lower than a van or SUV to this day. I liked my stint as a taxi driver but that was mostly urban of course. Armed with a trusty Fireman's torch to pick out door numbers and addresses. Although my motorbikes are lower but that is a totally different kettle of cod. I used the Dartford crossing once with a mate in a van going to pick up some motorbikes. He thought we had arrived at Dover. LMAO.. Another time a relative of mine who doesn't drive much went to visit my uncle in Hampshire and ended up just outside of Birmingham. Mentioning no names of course.

Just unload or load on the road. There’s rarely any need to follow instructions from customers. Live & learn. Good footage thou, great entertainment Scot. Can’t see why you’ve got more subs ! Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Don’t take Artics off road, without getting in customers vehicle & taking a tour first of the area & delivery location. Heard a story of removals company, moving customer into new house. This place was so narrow, with false roads that lead nowhere, other than to a ford or hump back bridge. Customer said, to driver, on phone, whatever you do DO NOT turn of main road, driver was like, just leave it to us, we’ve been doing this for years. Turned out driver did turn of main road & lorry was stuck for two weeks & had to be crainned out. I was in 7.5tonner & mirrors where folded in & location was on the side of a hill. Never trust customers who are new. You getting stuck was nothing really.

I was just winding up to take the piss out of the 'Rhod Gilbert' of road haulage. Its what we do in this business right? Its called gallows humour. Through the first 5 minutes of video I was mentally choosing my adjectives with a sliding scale of venom. "Start gently Ian boy" thinks I, "then go for the jugular a bit later". Teach this young movie starlet a thing or two about the big bad world of agricultural lorry driving. Oh yes. By minute 5 I was ready to start unloading in the comments like a fully automatic AK47 with extended mags, loaded with F, C & T words. By the time the video got to 6:30 all those feelings had gone. That look in your eye. The slight quiver in your voice and the (as yet) unnoticed parking ticket stuck to the front of your truck like a big pointy hat with a 'D' on it. I recognised you were in stress overload and you didn't me or anyone else adding to it. By the time you paid the ultimate indignity of being hauled out arse first by a tractor in glorious technicolour, for all the world to see, I was actually feeling quite sorry for you. Not even in a patronising way as I've been there many times myself at various farms across the country. Next time it happens (and it will) it won't be quite as stressful a situation and even less so the next time (and the next time) it happens. No one hurt, no damage to speak of and you got home. Alls well that ends well. Greets from Bridgend.
