I've just found your channel, keep the videos coming, helping me build courage and confidence to finally hit the continent. Learnt alot from you already 👍. There's more to this job than just UK tramping 😂

[@The_Breeze1]

There certainly is Lee but get into European work asap it’s far more enjoyable. Cheers for looking in pal 👍🏽

[@sebarychlak4176]

Thanks

[@The_Breeze1]

No problem my friend.

[@R_T_Ralph]

Hi Ben, i love your channel. I used to drive a van delivering goods from UK to Europe back in the 2000's. It was a load more easier back then, but still the same issues with crossing the channel. I really dont miss the long hours, and the paperwork, but i really miss the views across Europe when driving. I stopped as the long hours nearly killed me, but thats another story. Anyway, keep up the great work, and ive subbed to you.

[@The_Breeze1]

Many thanks Ralph & I understand about the looooong hours 🤦🏻‍♂️. Cheers buddy.

[@TristanTheNerdyTruckerBendall]

Love the information videos I'm in Australia looking at coming to the UK so would love some more information/training videos

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi Tristan & welcome aboard 😀. There’s a few on the Channel & more to come 👍🏽

Very interesting and also very informative! Let me know if you are ever passing Pescara (Italy). It would be good to meet up for a coffee.

[@The_Breeze1]

Thanks John ! Will do!

[@johnwhyte9404]

@@The_Breeze1 I am the ex driver who now lives near Pescara Sud, I am offering a B&B service for drivers not sure if I have mentioned this before? It would be good to get your feedback please?

[@johnwhyte9404]

@@The_Breeze1 I just realised you have named yourself after the JJ Cale song. Nice to know a fellow JJ Cale fan! Don't forget the coffee!

[@stevedavidson2442]

Another great blog What would happen if you ignored the order to go to sivep and just left calais and carried on with your delivery?

[@The_Breeze1]

Ta Steve, you face BIG fines 😃

[@osprey2k5]

When's the next vlog out 👍

[@The_Breeze1]

Editing right now so hopefully soon. I think it’ll be a 2 parter as it’s quite long though I may take a chunk out of the middle & make that a separate vid on Rungis market. Cheers G 👍🏽

[@osprey2k5]

@@The_Breeze1 Sounds good to me the more the better with your accent it sounds if you are originally Welsh if so what part 👍

[@The_Breeze1]

Born in Yorkshire where I now live but brought up near Llantrisant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. You ?

[@osprey2k5]

Not a million miles from there right at the top of the Rhondda

[@markm-ci6rj]

interesting, how do you get notification, what if you can't tell orange from green, what if you don't pull in???

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi Mark & welcome. Notification “should be” on screens in the train or a tablet by the exit door or an app on your phone but they don’t always work 🤦🏻‍♂️. Not sure about the colours thing & if you don’t stop you face big fines. Interesting questions mate & thank you for watching.

[@markm-ci6rj]

@@The_Breeze1 I watched your video from the UK, just as interesting, answered my questions in that video.

[@opathe2nd973]

Seems you came off the train. Is it different than at the ferries? Congratulations on your patience. I've talked to drivers who cross from US to Canada at Detroit and their waits are similar.

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi again Opa, yes the ferry docks a little further up the coast & though they have their own customs centre I don’t think they have the veterinary check facility we need with fresh meat. Cheers bud 👍🏽

[@BIGV710]

good info about customs is it the same for bonded loads as i do not use calais or dover i go by brittany ferries all the time

[@The_Breeze1]

Hi Vernon, I’m not sure tbh mate but you generally only go in to customs if your status turns orange when crossing otherwise (if it’s green) just get going 😀. Thanks for watching pal 👍🏽

[@bobm5500]

Have you been over the Millay Viaduct ?

[@The_Breeze1]

Millau, yes mate a few times it’s spectacular & on my list to vlog 👍🏽

[@edwinknight5204]

Are you on POA during this time in customs waiting?

[@The_Breeze1]

I usually use other work until after I’ve had my seal checked then upon return to parking I go on break & have a drink or something to eat 👍🏽
