I Have Been Out In My First Truck! + Updates!

[@johnmartin2464]

You might be seeing Scania R and S series trucks in the US, in the not too distant future. There is an American called Bruce Wilson who has a channel, and he imported a 1986 R series into the US and made videos about it. He caught the attention of Scania, and they made him an agent for Scania, and they have built him a brand new R770 to show around the US. It came off the production line last week, and Scania are working with US authorities to get the truck authorized to drive on US roads. It think it will be in the US late 2024 or early 2025.

Hi John, yes I follow Bruce Wilson on KZbin as well. Interesting times ahead potentially. I think the biggest problem with Scania in the US will be cost due to the precision and technology on them compared to US trucks but fingers crossed!

[@johnmartin2464]

@trax909 True, they are more advanced lorries than US built ones. I think they won't do well with the owner/operators because they will be put off by the cab being too small as well.

Honestly don't apologise for 'lacking videos' there is absolutely no need. Joining you on the journey has been excellent and looking forward to seeing where it goes. When you are up and running by yourself how often will you be home vs staying in the truck?

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

Hi Shaun. So to start with I will be stopping in the truck full time both in the week and weekends as the company allows the drivers to stop in the truck all weekend if they choose to save on expenses and be able to save money. It will be 3 nights away a week running over 6 days due to the distance to long beach and also LA traffic is horrendous apparently. I will find out today though and it is currently 3am and I am heading out to Long Beach for the first time today with my driver trainer

Well done Harry keep at it bud enjoy your catch ups stay safe, Will

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

Cheers Will - I have driven to Los Angeles and back today! OMG!

[@nigelwhitehouse282]

Onwards and upwards Harry. Nice one

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

Thanks Nigel - I have been to LA and back today. I couldn't film much but I will try and fashion an update. It was crazy going over the mountains and through the desert.

Hi Harry Good for you All the best

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

Thanks Marion - Its going great - but boy is it hot 😂

[@Stewart.fryers]

That truck is huge, it looks really smart though. It won’t take you long to used to driving on the other side of the road. I do it when we go over to Poland and it becomes second nature after a while

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

I will certainly get use to it today. Currently 3am over here and getting ready to head out with my driver trainer for the first time today to California and back

[@Stewart.fryers]

@@HarrysTruckingAdventures Good luck and drive safely mate

hi harry look at wee yorkshire trucker ,, hes a brit who works and lives over in the states and always records and posts great vids

[@stuartlindle4908]

Hi buddy, have you seen the Wee Yorkshire Trucker on KZbin. He has been filming in the US for year's so hopefully you should be ok. Aslong as your company is ok with it .

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

Hi Stuart, yes I have been watching Wee Yorkshireman Trucking for a few years now. He gets on some nice adventures

[@Opapa99]

Hi Harry things are really moving fast for you now. You are absorbing everything very well and keeping upbeat. I don't suppose you can push the filming to much but I am sure it will all work out OK. Can I just ask which film editor you use for your Gopro's .I've just bought one after catching the filming bug. Keep up the good work you're doing great. Keith. 🤩

[@trax909]

I use editing software called Davinci Resolve. There is a free version on their website. It is professional editing software so there is a learning curve but once you get use to it, it is easy to use. There’s plenty of helpful videos on KZbin to help learn it

[@Opapa99]

Thanks Harry I really appreciate that . Good luck with your 🚗

[@peterfrazer1943]

Listening to all you have had to absorb made me realise how well you are doing. As I mentioned in one of my earlier comments you are doing what I never had the guts to do when I was young. As you say, when you get a Car and start driving around it will become second nature to you, driving on the right. Things are coming on in leaps and bounds but you have had to put the hard yards in. Look forward to the next vid and all the very best Harry.🚚🚚👍👍

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

Thanks Peter - Tim replying (Harrys dad). I am starting the drive to take his car to him. We are meeting in Des Moines and then sharing the drive. 2100 miles in total!

[@peterfrazer1943]

I put a comment in but put it on Opapa99s comment by mistake, sorry.

[@HarrysTruckingAdventures]

No worries Peter - Tim (Harrys dad replying). Give DaVinci a try - the free version which is what we use is brilliant, very stable and quality software.
