HGV Drivers Worst Nightmare | Salvage Hunting | UK Trucking

[@Cupra-290]

I love how you thank everyone, like a legitimate thank you. I wish more drivers were like you.

[@-DC-]

Reversing up Tower Bridge Approach after dropping furniture off at the hotel in the late 90's, still brings a cold chill !

[@peterfrazer1943]

One that last pickup, I noticed all the Bins were out for collection. My heart was in my mouth in case a Bin Wagon suddenly appeared. It would have been a Mexican stand off.😁 Brilliant driving as usual!

[@KevTee]

Glad you noticed that too 😂😂

[@peugeotdudewifey2782]

7am and you've put a jumper on?? Us posties are still in our shirt and shorts!!! Still summer weather!! Come on kev thought you were more manly than me 😆😆😆

[@cbecks2051]

Posties and for the scrums of the planet

[@archechme]

You lot are something else. Out there loitering in the rain, sun and snow. Thanks for posting all of the shit we buy.

[@peugeotdudewifey2782]

@@archechme we love it really! And need to be a little crazy to be in the job lol

[@desktopdiddies5530]

yeah, wet bush is only good in some circumstances :)

[@Steve-bo6ht]

That was truly some incredible driving down that narrow road Kev and managing to turn around 👍

[@neiltill7414]

Great Vlog again Kev I'd even say very funny also with your little squeak when stretching (WTF) and your comment about not minding a bit of wet bush 😂😂 but I have to say the Vlog did remind me of your days at Burden's when you had to wait to load for over 2 hours and going down these tight country roads, keep up the great work and will look forward to the next one.

[@hawickrfc]

Every time you mention Salvage Squad, I expect Suggs or Lee Hurst to pop up with the backstory of the latest collection!

[@KevTee]

😂😂😂

[@Lee-vx8hl]

14:50 and I shat myself with laughter...that was brilliant kev! Loved the editing!!!!!!!

[@trevorpitt5883]

Well I reckon everywhere you go for a driving position the bosses say " he does a vlog, does he? let's find the worst narrow lanes we can so he can show off his skills" And, Big Kev says bring it on. Do you get paid for the greenery you bring back?

[@toppledgod]

I took a tri-axle coach down a road like that. It was supposed to take me to Tweedbank Railway Station and it did. The only problem was the station and my passengers were on the other side of the railway and there was nowhere to turn. I had to reverse over a mile backwards to get back to the main road.

[@e17simon]

“Wet Bush in your face” now that’s just Filth

[@davidcopplestone6266]

I had the thought. It depends what type of bush

[@bill1682]

563 yard art definitely, better for access

[@alisonfarrar7516]

What an unbelievable place to send you for the last one!

[@KevTee]

I enjoy the challenge 😁

[@jimgemmell2831]

35:50 Two locals with their pitchforks "You can't be coming down here in your wagon lad!!!" 😁😁

[@dazcapri7004]

I was in a village in Northumberland in my scania I asked a local for directions and he said it's down there but you'll not get to anywhere near it in that. Him and his neighbour put it in the back of a car and kindly delivered it

[@sammytheseal2307]

44:39. Brake light out on the Aygo buddy. Might want to sort that out 😂😂

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Brilliant vlog as always mate. I bet that almost reminded you being back on the Downton Abby set wi very narrow road & roof of truck being hit by branches pal.

[@alex_spheres5578]

That Burger van that you mentioned at 2:10 is the van that is always there no matter what weather. basically it never moves

[@KevTee]

Nice to know 😁

[@williamfence566]

Time to bill the local council for the free hedge trimming.

[@pjr_84]

Winterslow is in the area I deliver all the time for a supermarket. The point where you had to turn around twice, and then got stuck by the Galaxy, if you kept going straight, it would have taken you out the other end. Great video!!

[@thepillock]

I like that you timed the rachet straps with the music around 24:00 :D

[@vexmesilly]

man, i got so much anxiety watching you drive down them tight narrow roads, good on you for handling it

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Just shows to us video watchers and car owners, professionalism in a car collection driver is essential, no matter how tight the route, KevTee will try it to secure his load for the bosses. Cheers Kev.

[@nickcastleton7438]

A long day and then it gets tight, but you managed to handle it!!😂

[@Apctrucker80]

A prime example why you should not use a sat nav !!!

[@KevTee]

I think these issues still existed pre satnav days, whether that be trying to find places on industrial estates or battling country lanes 👍

[@MSI2k]

Kev's kink of the week: wet bush in his face. Man's gotta cut lose in extreme ways after enduring such tight alleys

[@Chefcouchon]

Great driving skills

[@Trucker_Tim]

Good job mate. It was a really tight squeeze, but did well. Couldn't done it better myself 👍

[@itsonlyme458]

Hats off to you Kev for your driving skills especially down that narrow country road. How on Earth do you manoeuvre such a vehicle? I drive a small 3.5 ton van and think I have it rough! Excellent driving.

[@MichaelLKW-Fahrer]

29:20 imagine had you been a fire engine.. people should really park properly.

[@jonnyhaley3703]

They're legally allowed to clear their own path when responding, so when I see this in my truck I just giggle and hope that one day I see the results 😉

[@davidlipski863]

Good job you only had the Renault it would of been a massive fail with the Scania 🚚🚚

[@HypocrisyLaidBare]

the sound of the aerial twanging away always makes me uneasy and the banging of bushes on the mirrors at the same time, touch wood i've never got stuck, through proper forward planning but there have been alot of bum clenching moments. lol 39:42 thers not many times you dont want wet bush in your face, i almost shat myself laughing...lol

[@kennethharper8417]

brilliant work as all ways sir kevtee. then small narrow roads remind me of that video when you were in your volvo that time mate?

[@rogeruk9263]

Now all you need is a lorry hating tree hugging person to report you for driving through their posh village while trying to find out your way. 😟

[@dabois8845]

What a day! I think the second pick up was the biggest pain! Why the recovery firm didn't wait till highways England had released that Hyundai before they contacted Trent's I will never know! That tight lane was worse than some of your farm deliveries with Burdens! Lovely scenery around there though😉

[@waynehammerton5698]

Top vlog again Kev keep them coming buddy and stay safe and well all of you until the next vlog Kev

[@aidanfinn2687]

Hi Kev how are you. Hope you had a good weekend. Another Brilliant Vlog. Ya my heart was in my mouth when you were going down that tight road. I always enjoy your Vlogos and can't wait for the next one. Take Care and Stay Safe And Drive Safe.

[@KevTee]

Cheers Aidan, really glad you enjoyed the vlog and thanks for watching as always 👍

[@samryman7719]

Great vlog mate, bit of a spinning theme going on in this one, with the Merc and the Fiat Panda lol ;-) Also spotted the rather nice VW Corrado VR6 whilst you was heading in and out of collecting the little Fiat :-) As for the last collection just WOW! You've got more guts than I have, I certainly wouldn't be seen going down there lol. Hats off to you mate well done :-) Hope you and your family are keeping safe and well :-)

Every time you say salvage hunters a picture of drew Pritchard appears in my head 😂

[@cowboy5252]

Oh the feel of a wet bush,eh Kev, lol 😂!

[@sammytheseal2307]

We need the "KevPeeved" cam for when you're navigating those lanes 😂

[@georgegoodman5363]

You really are going out into the countryside on this video. That must have been stressful down the single track lanes good job you weren't in the Scania

[@keltthomas8476]

The dash on the truck.is freaking me out it looks.like a face the way the air vents and storage bit are a put together

[@benevans3733]

Hi Kev yes that does look very tight though to get to the last one

[@NapierNimbus]

Great stuff, some real "challenging" jobs. Crumbs that Merc, hopefully saved its driver from serious injury by him/her pushing the vehicle beyond its abilities (and any occupants), apart from needing change of underwear. Bet Scott Andrews will be returning the laugh on that last pickup when he sees this. Well done for coping so well with this lot.

[@jameshumble_gtuk6978]

Great video hope you have a great rest of your weekend

[@OnTheRailwayOfficial]

Ooooh I live near Chippenham

[@lindajoy7208]

Well that was an eventful day. Bit tight to say the least. Love your music choice. Take care out there.

[@dextergord1161]

Great video Kev looks like you are still enjoying your job that’s half the battle stay safe mate how’s the Volvo coming on cheers

[@stephenshippam9374]

Hi that last one locked like a bit of a challenge, good driving.

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

I know it's your job and all that but when you go to a place and they faff around with the cars etc so it makes you load late is that not something you could mention to your office rather than being held up by the yard in question. Waiting 2 hours for a load that's warehouse goings on Interference with the most important time of day is a No no (home time) peugeotdudewifey would do her nut lol I'd be on my toes after a little wait

[@KevTee]

Yeah it was a pain, unfortunately we were waiting for Highways England to release the car and we know there's always delays whenever Highways are involved in anything 😂😂

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

@@KevTee yeah I get that mate They book us in for a windscreen change we arrive to do the screen and they end up confused to why we are they and then say oh the vehicle is dealing with a brake down it will be back soon So now I go if it's not there they can re schedule #imabusyman

[@petetheresellerandscrapper849]

Seen 2 of the scanias in Exeter yesterday morning early about 8.30 couldn't make if it was you driving both fully loaded

[@peterbarker6249]

Stressful , and that's just watching ! Well done 👍

[@KevTee]

I was sweating too 😂

[@alangreenaway7363]

I see that Recovery Yard in Higheorth still had that smashed up Artic unit in there 😳

[@ingramj777]

Good job you didn't have to go any further up that lane kav the next corner you would not have got round. Same great turning round that lane is a pain in the ass lol

[@sarahrobinson410]

I went to a yard in Swindon,drop a triumph herald hub..to a guy who does interesting projects..

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

Hello bud Cheers for the video I think your lucky pug was the sign that things were going to be slightly unpleasant as the poor thing is on its back lol

[@llamedosr7843]

There should be someone waiting at the yard with a medal

[@seansimpson4472]

Good thing is a smaller wagon well in length anyway 😂😂

[@jacklee7597]

Hi kev just seen this come up in my in box had busy day and weekend moved house 🤗

[@orraman5427]

It would be fun getting a fire engine up to the last pick up in a hurry? I suppose you'd get a bit of comfort from the sound of the siren if you were trapped in a burning building.

[@XBGxmer]

Please show the loading of the cars alot more and the sounds of them.... I like that sorta stuff lol

[@gary63693]

Nope. I said it once and i'll say it again. I couldn't do residential homes for HGV work. I'll stick to delivering milk at easy to get to places at 2am

[@davidcopplestone6266]

You didn't fancy the challenge of reversing down that lane with the car on Spec?

[@benevans3733]

Hi Kev another brilliant video and what was wrong with the fait and hope you are staying safe and well

[@ianleak]

Better than pondering them motorways kev

[@russellkay180]

Good Vlog mate, why is it when you get delayed earlier in the day you always end up with a pig of a last job lol!

[@bikerboy7126]

Nice one Kev. 👍

[@arronbowers2316]

No shout out for the BCA transporter on 42:00? 😤

[@chrisw2972]

@17:42 That moment when you're driving a "HGV" at over 30mph in wet conditions on a "narrow country lane" with blind bends and call someone out on going too fast. Seems slightly hypocritical to me...

[@iandolby7003]

Thank you for the vlog. Keep up the good work.

hello greetings from norfolk great job

[@Buster71]

Still driving the diamond of doom I see 😁

[@stephenhunter70]

What amazes me about some British roads is there width! Here with some of your roads vehicles would not be allowed due to the width of the road.

[@kavyman1066]

I used to deliver pallets to places in an 18 tonner, usually lack of information from customers and sending things on pallets that could of been sent by and traffic offices that do not give a monkeys of how difficult the route to a drop is can really amp up your stress. One I had job was nearly 20 miles out of my way, the wrong address, and roads like Kev's last job to deliver something that the postman could of delivered in a padded jiffy bag.

[@hodderpaul]

nothing phases this fella

[@2626stephen]

Could be worse could have been on the Scania. Someone else had a late finish was another truck turned up after you

[@benevans3733]

Hi Kev when is the next video. coming out then and are you enjoying your new job and have you found a project car yet then

[@truckerjohnb2970]

That was a bit tight even with the toung out it was to tight great blog again kev keep them coming

[@AyJaX]

Being a class1 driver myself some of your videos trigger my anxiety just watching you drive to some of your customers! NO way I could do your job as I think I would end up in a mental asylum!

[@tomjohntig]

Did the damp bush have a name Kev ? By any chance was her name Kate lol tongue in cheek 😂😂😂

[@sheldonaldridge8909]

Just passed my class 2 and wouldn't mind this kinda work, definitely looks a challenge with all the "tight" residential streets to navigate 😁. How did you get into this line of work if you don't mind me asking?

[@matthewhalliburton8534]

well Hello, Kev did you find a project car yet or are you still looking and the reason that Uk is hot and cold it might be autumn over there?

Great Video Kev. Glad to be back in the reno? =)

[@KevTee]

Yep, and the last collection in this video is the exact reason, love a challenge 👌

[@superfinster]

Makes me cringe like fuck watching these videos, but I've driven on these kinds of roads with trucks loads of times, and had plenty of nightmares in the process and some awful situations ! I took a country lane short cut once with a huge 32 Ton skip lorry (RORO) with a container full of scrap metal. I regretted it for miles and some hair raising moments, but managed to get out the other end eventually. When I finally got to the scrap metal yard, the guy in the upstairs office looked down and thought I'd got a skip full of garden waste, as the metal was covered in broken tree branches and leaves from the country lanes I'd been on !! Haha 😂🤣

[@ttvdeath_squad_9067]

Hi Kev loving the content will you be going truck shows in the itrent truck
