SON!!!!!! Couple of things. When moving the big conc rings, rather than put the one around the back as you did, put two over the top but crossed. Easier to do and doesn't allow movement. Second, J29 truckstop is always worth pulling into and speaking to the staff walking around as they'll get you in if there's room and there was some behind the wash. Other than that, brilliant video as always and very informative for new drivers. Well done.

[@Deady2012]

Thanks Dad! Good chat yesterday 😁

[@matty6848]

That’s one thing I don’t miss about general haulage, is the stupid O’clock in the morning starts. Who wants a to start work at 2/3am in the morning? it’s the middle of the night. I’m on the tippers now and I’ve definitely got my life back, working normal then go home and see my family every night. Yes the money isn’t as good, but at least I’m not losing valuable time with my kids I’ll never get back. It’s exactly why I meet so many Trampers who are divorced. Anyway another good video Deady, keep em coming mate, reminds me of the days when I was doing curtain sides and flaltbeds with R.T Keedwell.

[@paullfc88]

Not sure if you're doing it already, but if you're leaving your card in overnight don't forget to select end country before you stick it on rest and start country before you start again the following morning 👍🏻

[@Deady2012]

You will be reversing in like that in another couple of years mate it's only confidence. I wouldn't go back to nights out even if I could not sure I will be driving trucks again anyway but wont be tramping if I do . It's a major headache keeping track oh hours then not been able to get parked up lays full and truck stops ball ache. Respect to you doing it now deady

[@Deady2012]

Aye mate i know what you mean.

[@louidakin3584]

I always got told if you start anytime before 4am you are on a night shift hours so that means finishing at 5/6 doing 11/12hours, anything after 4am is classed as day shift🤔

[@neilthomas4407]

If you start before 4am Loui,your classed as a night worker and can only do a 10 hour shift duty shift,unless the workforce of the company you work for has opted out of the wtd night working rules,they can't make you do it. Mind you I quite.often put my card in at 04.02am!

[@Deady2012]

As Neil said. Opted out of the 4am working time thing.

[@michaelhunter636]

I like the idea of the job, I've got my class 2 (just the mod 4 to do) but the 3 am and long days sound painful 😬. Fair play to you though if you can do them 👌

[@skiptonn]

Think of that sweet money mate :-p

[@HSMike2]

You can find 6am/8am starts and no overtime jobs, but you'll be getting a normal wage.

[@stevie2146]

I’m newly qualified and have started in agency work, while I love the actual job, I feel like I have no time at all to do anything except work now. Thought I could handle the hours, I thought wrong

[@michaelhunter636]

I need to find a good balance tbh, class 2 work and watch deady vlogs seems like the future 🤣

[@dancroft1776]

You get used to the early starts once you see your wage slip. I do a five day week Monday to Friday, with 2.30am starts, and a day of overtime every other weekend. Days are no longer than 12 hours. £32500 basic, around £35000 with overtime. I stomach the early starts 😂

[@michaelthomas3646]

personally if I was doing a 15 hour day, I would also plan in taking the first 45 minute break around the time the roads are the worst, so like school time, so yes you are doing it right starting at 4am. because then means you are off the road for 8:30'ish which gives the worst traffic time to clear off the roads. for the workers starting at 9, and the school run to finish about 9:10-9:15. so can't blame you starting your shift at 4am if you can get a decent drive in before the mad rush.

[@michaelthomas3646]

but saying that I have also seen the traffic heading into Cardiff at 7am also, so best to be heading out of Cardiff about that sort of time.

There's a story behind the Harrier at Wittering. The plane is called Matilda. It is believed that the plane is haunted. Out of the whole fleet of planes that were based there that was the only one to hurt the person who was fixing her. So rather get rid they kept her. My step dad is in the Raf

Hi Deady, I’ve been following your videos for a while now. I’ve long wanted to be a HGV driver and I can certainly say your channel inspires me. Kindly advise did you have challenges getting your first job and do you work with agency or permanent? If you for agency how consistent were your shifts on your first year? Many thanks in advance.

Sparks have lovely units and stuff

[@michaelwhyatt7674]

Hi Mate, Might have missed it but did you say you took a 15 min break and that reset your WTD for another 6 hours? Think you mean another 3 hours before you need another 15 min. A full 45 min will reset the WTD, either 3 x 15 min (WTD) or full 45 min driving time break will do it as well.

[@YouTubeuser-eq4up]

A 15 mins break does give you another 6 hours wtd or until your first 4 and 1/2 hours drive runs out then a 30 min break resets it all again
