Loading Containers on to trains.

This was a great job, a collection in Hartlepool and rrun it down to Leeds. I used a trailer called a Slider which I will go through in depth in the near future.

[@nunote2362]

found this video while doing research into logistics for a class i'm taking, i wasn't entirely sure if shipping containers from boats or trucks would be able to be seamlessly transferred to trains without the need to unload and reload into a new container. this video pretty easily answered my question, and i have a new found appreciation for the simplicity and versatility of the classic metal box.

[@irpnet]

That was different! I've always wondered how those containers got on the trains. Now I've seen an insiders perspective! Cheers Steve, hope you are well mate and enjoying the weather!

[@JustSteve247]

Thank Ian. One more shift to go then our first night out in the Van. What could possibly go wrong lol.

[@robadams5799]

I wondered about that too. I've seen those big yellow cranes before, but I never knew what they were for.

[@lincolnbayda8808]

Thank you, using part of this in one of my business classes I teach about logistics. :)

[@JustSteve247]

Very pleased it has helped. That's why I did them. Hope your well. Steve )

Hi Steve , thank you for another great video , we hope that you and Karen have a great Easter, take care and stay safe 👍xx

[@JustSteve247]

Thank you Jackie. We are good. Hope you both are enjoying this cracking weather.

[@2KXMKR]

I've always wondered how on Earth they keep track of which container is going where. The trains seem so random as they go by. There must be some sort of complex system to figure it all out.

[@JustSteve247]

Amazing isn't it. I enjoyed the Port of Tyne work and always wondered where the containers started from

[@iantaf5559]

Well done Steve. Your first journey to Hunslet! Must admit I'm missing your trips to Drysdales!!!

[@JustSteve247]

I have just passed it lol. On my break at the usual lay by enjoying the sun. Hope your well matie

[@petethemod1]

Very interesting video Steve. Containers is something I am considering going for when I return to driving at some point this year,(Awaiting further surgery) I have no experience at all with them. So any advice/help you an put out would be greatly appreciated. Cheers buddie, drive safe 🚛🌪️

[@JustSteve247]

Best of luck. I will add more detailed container vlogs once I get more of a feel.

[@richardmorgan4485]

Hi Steve interesting thanks Richard

[@rabsrealm]

Been on the boxes for about a year and a half now. I see the crane drivers in Leeds like their horns as much as the Freightliner Coatbridge guys!

[@JustSteve247]

I star 'horn' language school next week. Lol.

[@edwinfitchett6033]

sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but why did he need you to turn round to unload the container

[@white9007]

This is what I want more of

[@JustSteve247]

Iv a few of the container runs on here buddy. Glad you enjoyed this one. Take care Bob

Thought you'd get to like the Volvo mate ;-)

What country is this?

[@orion310591RS]

Well today 4 year old kid woke up and asked how containers are loaded on trains, because he see trains from window every day. Then I went to youtube and showed him this. This was his morning cartoon movie.

[@JustSteve247]

That's brilliant hope it answered his questions.

[@astraygalaxy2765]

That was 40ft container

[@truckingchris1716]

That’s something different mate who ya working for now

I was thinking the same, looks interesting and you changed company's?

[@MrEricmopar]

Those containers are the same on all four corners, why the hell would they make you turn around???

[@JustSteve247]

Lol I thought the same at the time.

[@holmesjunction]

Seen it from the railway point a view a few times, but not from the lorry - very interesting. They always push the speed of rail service, but never mention the lorry driver hanging about. You didn't mention what size container you had, or why you had to turn it. Could it be H&S - try to prevent doors flying open on trains?

[@JustSteve247]

No mate, it was so he could load further back as he had run out of room. This one was a 20ft load which was in the picture. I enjoyed this one also. Hope your well.

[@theoriet8723]

@@JustSteve247 Was that the reason you had to turn the box ?

[@michelleryun2445]

Ive always wondered what is in those containers?

[@JustSteve247]

You name it Michelle. I mostly carried parts for cranes,cars ect. Occasionally high grade sawdust for racecourses (odd) lol.

[@alien1898]

Is it Volvo FH 500 or FH 540 or something else???

[@JustSteve247]

They are the 500s I think buddy. Been a few months since I was driving them.
