When I saw the bridge I knew what area you were in. I took a bus ride from Milford Haven railway station to Pembroke Dock railway station. It went via the back roads. It was only a small 30 seater. Sunken lanes hedgerows hitting both sides very step hills. The bus from the other way had to wait for us to clear one section. Must be a nightmare harvest time.

I only ever knew 1 driver who had jacknifed his artic and that was on a dry road, the old man of the firm wanted to fire him but the gaffer overuled him and so he was given another chance. Everyone to this day wished the old man had had his way because a few months later whilst taking a load of tin plate down the A34 in Oxfordshire to AC delco in Southampton he swerved to miss an army truck coming out of a lay by and went from the first lane through the crash barrier taking 2 cars alongside him then straight across the opposite carriageway taking another 2 cars and finishing up in a field. The horrific crash killed 2 and made 2 others into vegetables unable to live without 24 hours care. Last I heard he was driving a small van as a self employed courier. Thank yourself lucky me boy.

Bottled water was about the worst load I ever carried, 26T of pallets, all in 500ml bottles. The problem is, they all move & react as one. Come to a bend, or worse a roundabout and they all lean right, as you turn left right as you try to turn left, they lean to the right. Try to slow down and you feel the massive load shove, as the entire contents attempt to carry on at the same speed, accelerate, & the load pulls you back. You can feel the entire trailer trying to resist your attempts to do anything. It must be like having a large liquid tank on the back, without any baffles. For 5 years I drove goods for a drinks wholesaler from Bedford to Norwich every night, but never had the same problems. 25-26 tons when full, but barrels of beer, bottles of wine & spirits and beer, pallets of cans, & whatever. he point was, they all behaved differently, according to their size & amount of space they had available, not as a unified body.

Hello again Luke. Great video. Regarding your little test in the dark. Personally, with the little poppies, and their reflections, and the cameras at the top in the middle, its a little too much. Looking forward to the road, its like travelling down a tunnel. Sorry, but doesn't work for me. When you got to the farm, and looking to go straight on down the track next to the farm buildings, I would not have even thought of going down there, seeing the large puddles. I was looking at a potential sticking in the mud🤣🤣🤣. I will tell you this Luke, you have done some neat driving. When you mentioned your truck changing gears at odd times. I'm not really surprised. The poor thing has done nothing but skidding. On ice in Scotland, on ice in Preston, down really, really narrow lanes, going up hills. I think the poor truck needs a holiday. Hey, you were correct, take the spuds to France🤣🤣🤣🤣. Looking at the farm buildings, I'm wondering how they were built, getting the stuff to that place with metal sheeting, etc. Good job you didn't come face-to-face with a cyclist. You have to give them 4ft+ according to the Highway Code🤣🤣🤣
