HGV Driver Told Off At Delivery Point!

[@JHarris533]

Wallasea is a reclaimed wetland area. The dutch were hired to do a lot of draining of these kinds of lands in the 15th/16th century so they could be farmed by the local land owners and thats how they remained until the last few decades when there has been a drive to restore Britains eco-system and help reduce flooding further inland.

[@lukecinahgv]

Good to know thanks mate

[@St1ckM0nk3y]

Yeah. RSPB bird sanctuary these days. Loads of the soil there came from drilling out the Elizabeth line tunnels

[@woodennecktie]

on top of being dutch , they were also protestant old school , this is where the expression "dutch uncle" derives from , if someone tells you you can not have fun .... thats a dutch uncle 😂

[@harmontrucking4926]

I'm a Truck driver in the USA I love you show. I absolutely love y'all's trucks, keep the wheels turning.

[@lukecinahgv]

Thank you mate, really appreciate that! Please feel free to share with all your Trucker friends! Would be amazing to have a larger audience in the USA. Drive safe mate, keep well.

[@stephengarner9109]

Congratulations on the new home! Fingers crossed it all goes well. Another great vid, I'm not a truck driver and it continues to amaze me the way you get treated. Well done remaining professional and courteous, you're a credit to your profession!

[@zeberdee1972]

Have to say you are a very courteous driver and I have to say thank you for that , true old Knights of the road . How ever in this mad day and age some HGV drivers are not but the majority are still . I can only imagine the stress put on drivers to deliver on time on unrealistic delivery times from managers that may never turned a wheel ever or if they had not in a very long time . I drive Fire Engines but mostly on an Airfield but have to go through the same training as local Authority . Needless to say some how we are expected to reach the same standards to pass on our tests . My last course I did with in less than a mile two HGV 1's nearly wiped us out , I have to say this is not the norm . How ever one butt clenching moment was we were on a A road with a sweeping left hand bend up hill . I saw through the trees that a HGV 1 was coming the other way and slowed down , sirens and lights going by the way . There was ditches and trees on both sides , any way the HGV 1 i guess never saw us and was going shall we say a little too fast . As we reached the bend he locked up. I had my window open and all we heard was the squeal of tires and the smoke from the tires entered the cab . I had no where to go but I had slowed down a lot because I thought he had not seen us because of his speed . Anyway we passed with very little to spare , even the Instructor was rattled and said that wasn't your fault . Any way after that we crested the hill then went on a downward right hand sweep in the road to only be confronted by a HGV 1 in the middle of the road and from what I saw was looking down at some thing in his cab ....second butt clenching moment !! . How ever for the other days on my course , HGV drivers are the best . Their forward planning and even hold traffic behind them to help us on our way , you are still Knights of the road in my eyes . Much respect .

[@pauljenkins2501]

Congratulations on the house completion, Luke. It is such a stressful process, no matter how many times you go through it. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a natural pessimist, but I never believe that it's actually going to work out until the keys are finally in my hands........ Thank you for your video.

I enjoyed that it brings back memories both good and bad, I lost my licence a good few years ago now due to diabetes and going onto insulin just as the new digital tachos were coming in, a mixed blessing there I think. Thank's Luke 👍🇬🇧👍

[@cabottaxi]

Don't get roped into some of the large alarm companies . They tend to get you to sign up to lengthy maintenance contracts. Instead, get a local alarm engineer who should be able to supply and fit an alarm system along with a high quality cctv system.

[@philcollins6498]

Hi Luke , I’ve been in the security industry some 36yrs now 😳🙈🤣, stay well clear of ADT mate , am led to believe their fees are extortionate, and your charged for every callout , find a local company that can install a Visonic PowerMaster system with broadband access and the app giving you full control from your mobile etc , also led to believe Varisure have a lot of hidden charges that are only disclosed once you’ve signed up 🥴, Visonic, once it’s installed the equipments yours and there’s no subscription for the app 👌🏻, have installed them since they came out some 8-10 yrs ago , bomb proof equipment 👌🏻👌🏻, Keep the vids coming bud & congrats on the house 👍🏻, Stay safe & safe trucking, TartanSparky.

[@mikeman584]

My wife works a legal secretary and has done for 40 years plus. She specialises in house conveyancing and between ignorant parties other solicitors , estate agents etc it’s a nightmare especially when you are spending hours on a single phone call to an Indian call centre etc. Bottom line is you must do your due diligence and be very careful on money transfers. Good luck on your new house you’ve both worked your butts off for it.

[@johndrew3202]

A bit chaotic in places, but we come to expect that nowadays Luke. Good content right through, it would be nice to see some more of the roads you have to travel sometimes. best wishes for the new house, I have moved about 10 times and all have been stressful, and expensive. I always found unexpected work required on the house when moved in, hope the weather is kind to you for moving furniture etc.

[@pops2728]

Thanks Luke, enjoyed the video. What you thought were trenches are actually ditches which fill up at high tide. That area is very low lying and the River Crouch and The River Roach are tidal and run out to the North Sea. Some times in bad weather and spring tides the area can flood. That's why some of the houses are built on stilts!

[@gibgrth]

Well done Luke you kept your cool in that last yard!! Hope your moving in day goes well👍

[@jameswhatley2856]

Wallasea island is a tidal flatland and marsh with the river crouch to the north and river roach to the south east. The Dutch drained it in the 15th century to create highly fertile farm land. Much of the wetland areas are nature reserves.

[@andrejozilinek6707]

Omg I was about to shred my skin when I was send down there on class 1 ... I was like what a place to be. They done the same with the phone call... Some crazy places and people in Watford 😂😂😂

Thank you Luke Another video Enjoyed. Congratulations on your new house Hope the moving in goes smoothly. As a ex Driver did always say to anyone who did not like lorries on the road. Did you have your Breakfast this morning us Drives put on your table. Thanks again. Take care

[@Whooosh41]

Hi Luke, another great vlog. Good to see you getting on with the job and back to your old self. Keep it up, mate! Hope the new house is sorted. You mentioned alarm, welll just from my little experience. ADT is a well recognised set up however you pay a fortune for the privilege, and monitoring is expensive, call outs are never their fault so expect a invoice. So the company I worked for gave me the pleasure of termmanating them. We ended up with Verisue Alarms. Great set up and does all the things you expect at a fraction of the cost. Check them out all the best mate..

[@markm-ci6rj]

Hope your enjoying your new home! As for lorries going past these houses, if you don't like it don't buy a house in that location, buy one in a cul-de-sac. I live on a main road.

[@lazy_dayz1]

Any yard that is that small I tend to reverse in. Great Job bud, and Good luck and congrats on the move!

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Might need traffic control though to reverse in on that road

[@kenpottinger55]

I used to deliver tiles to that yard in Watford, and they were always the same. Office says come down but the yard get stroppy! Reversed in with a wagon and drag. Car sales on the corner always made it as difficult as possible to get by.

[@lukey3507]

Congratulations on the house purchase. As for home security, ensure you have light timers, they're much better than any burglar alarm. You want your house to look occupied in the early dark evenings. Burglar alarms and CCTV, only on the outside, motion sensor garden lights, especially around back and side entries. Also anti snap locks on the front & back door. The CCTV inside the home won't really do much, most burglar's cover their faces. It's better to try and prevent the break in before it happens. The anti snap locks are often suggested by your home insurer, or reduce the cost slightly. Home insurance is like £5-10 a month.

[@nickcastleton7438]

Cracking video as always Luke, thanks for that! Bit tight in places especially the last drop, hope the move from house to house goes smoothly! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛👍

[@richardbarber4444]

You are lucky getting contract exchange so easily. We started in June 2022 and took until January 2023 mainly due to "amateur" estate agent not knowing the ins and outs. New house deal was simple.

[@Brian-nf6bt]

Well where you picked up the timber all those inlets and creeks you saw will fill up with seawater when the tide comes in and sometimes you see a small boat in the middle of a field because it was put there at a flood tide ,given certain conditions that area can flood.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

Looks similar to the Somerset Levels,...those are rhines and ditches to stem flooding.

[@ericmcrae7758]

I am not sure if you have moved yet but before you do make sure your new house is very secure. Some friends of ours were moving to a new house and took all their clothes and personal possesions in the day before when they arrived the next day every thing was gone all they had was the clothes they had on. Buying a house and getting married are the most stressful events you can do.

[@john1703]

The timber place (Baltic) is in so-called Wallasea Island (salt marsh), just south of the River Crouch and surrounded by the River Roach, in Essex. Those ditches are flooded periodically at high tide. It really would not be funny to go off the road!

[@shadybacon3451]

Congrats on the house Luke, it is possibly the most frustrating process in the known universe. It took me nearly 8 months from offer being accepted to completion and it wasnt even a chain, primarily because my solicitors were, for want of a better phrase, a shower of twats, was a recommendation from mortgage advisor, I was going to use the solicitor which turned out to be the sellers solicitor so that was not possible due to conflict of interest but hey ho. My solicitor didn't communicate with me, the estate agent, or the sellers solicitor. They were impossible to get in touch with to find anything out, invoiced the wrong payment amount for the deposit on the house, it was a shit show. Recently found out, only a month after I completed on the house and got the keys, the solicitors was shut down by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

[@PondersEndModelRailway]

the land is overspill for high tides which is why the area is more sandy than earthy, nice video and drive

You asked about ADT. I have only anecdotal experience of them. However on Quora there are quite a few people who have fallen foul of their small print. Read it carefully. One chap said that buried in the small print after signing off on a security visit, they committed themselves to a further five years, which was buried among the pages. Again, I repeat, this is hearsay, and I have no personal experience. Interesting video. I drove nationally and internationally from 1969 to the 1980s.
