Another brilliant video Kevtee. Bless that old geezer that kept on talking when you were doing ur job. Terrible year for folk like him & rest of us being on lockdown. I hope & ur family are keeping fine as we’re doing fine in Bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Great video shot last Monday. Keep up the good work & I look forward to ur next content & I certainly won’t be asking for a shoutout pal 😂🤣🤪😡😂🤣🤪

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

My sister suffers from depression sometimes she has medication to keep it under control but being off work for so long hasn’t done her any good. But yes I have been worried sick abt her but she’s doing ok & that’s all it counts mate.

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

She has a dog & a cat so they’re great company for her also.

[@neiltill7414]

Great Vlog again Kev, I think the content is getting better and better as time goes on, it's certainly giving me itchy feet wanting to be on the road again watching your videos but gave up the long distance stuff to be a stay at home dad/ house husband 10 years ago so really I do have a full time job looking after 3 kids my other half is the career woman.

[@waynehammerton5698]

Brilliant vlog once again Kev and absolutley brilliant reverse up that tight road for the clio van Kev catch up with you in your next vlog buddy until then stay safe and well all of you Kev

[@jamest91]

Loving the transition to salvage hunting Kev, super fun to watch! Thanks

[@rocasaamsterdam]

Because of the vlogs with the new job you have that i asked agencies that if they have jobs like these. It lokos like a lot of fun. Take care Kev! And thnx for the video.

[@bloodbiker5]

Love watching your vlogs in the little Renault. Saw one of your trucks today between King's Lynn, Norfolk and Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Looking forward to the next one

[@mikeman584]

Nice steady interesting work I wouldn't mind that myself. Good job Kev.

[@alward9901]

Hi Kev , I love watching you at work brings back some memories it’s like you are your own boss get instructions and off you go , not dependent on someone else to load you , as I said before best driving job ever even in the bad weather .

[@KevTee]

Cheers Al, yeah being left to your own devices is definitely one of the many appealing point to this job 👍

[@peterfrazer1943]

I am watching this on the TV. I can't believe the clarity of the picture(50inch) it's perfect. I have never thought it would be so good, that's why I normally watch on my Tablet. Great vid once again thanks Kev.

[@KevTee]

Cheers Peter, really glad the content looks just as good on the big screen 👍

[@NapierNimbus]

Great video, no problem on the order of the pickups, great that you are enjoying the job. Yes some are rather challenging but those must add interest for you, provided of course the pickup is not totally impracticable.

[@christopherwhatcott6235]

Brilliant video keV nice of you to keep talking to the guy wanting a natter as your doing your loading bless him ...keep safe mate thanks for taking us along 👍

[@KevTee]

Always got time for the older folk 👍

[@johnchristopherbutler1152]

Good to see you hard at work Kev,the old boy seemed to have a few stories to tell,maybe you should do an interview with him,might be fun.lol.the Clio was a bitof an awkward one to do mate,nice bit of reversing skill around the corner. Stay safe and keep on truckin'.#thumbsup

[@ianleak]

Keep up the good work Kev, get the day over quickly, stay safe mate

[@patgal8588]

Always interesting Kev. Looking forward to the next one.

[@tomjohntig]

Thanks for the adventure today Kev, you must be dog tired now after all that. Stay safe Tom

[@jbbumpkin]

Lovely to see what must be the last piece of the railway remaining at Bridport next to your first collection.

[@rickhubbard7342]

Nice one as always Kev, thanks for showing us sir

[@michaelkeen5010]

More great content to keep me entertained, thanks Kev.

[@TheBazza1701]

Really enjoying these vlogs Kev, I stumbled upon them last week and although I have no connection to trucking other than my brother in law being a tramper, I have been hooked. I must have watched close on to 12 hours of them so far, I know I should get out more. Great entertainment thanks for the interesting vlogs. Stay safe. 👍🏼

[@KevTee]

Hey Barrie, thanks for the kind words and great to hear your enjoying the content. Stay safe 👍

[@garywalker3818]

very good blog kev that last pickup was tight but i new you would have done it gary from crewe

[@valasntouk8711]

Recently found your KZbin channel. Loving all your videos, especially the "old" on general hauling. Although I might admit you have put me on thoughts about your current job . Being a wannabe trucker, I am really grateful for all the content . I find it really enlightening and helpful. Keep up the great job. Love from Greece and I may bump into you sometime . We are planning to turn into proper wulfrunians soon God willing.

[@KevTee]

Thanks valas and welcome to the channel, glad your enjoying the content 👍

[@makiwa]

Thanks Kev....!!! Those wheels on the Beemer looked expensive!

[@mesaratz22]

really enjoying your videos Kev, my better half likes to watch the videos on a Monday evening after a long shift in the hospital, she says that you have a soft voice and is very relaxing, we never got to see any of your speed driving this time hope that it is back in the next video... take care until next week and stay safe.

[@KevTee]

Thanks, really glad your both enjoying the content 👍

[@andrewtrigg8282]

I'm a bit behind this week Kev, only just watched this one but I can honestly say that your vids are better than owt on the telly at the moment, well apart from the footy and F1 next week. I'm really enjoying them, so much so that I'm seriously considering dusting off my class 2 and changing careers..Cheeeeeerrrs 😀👍👍

[@justanoldman9762]

Kev great to see the UKcountryside HOWEVER I THINK THEY NEED TO SORT OUT YOUR TRUCK BEFORE YOU NEED RECOVERY

[@johnwhitehouse5244]

Thank you Mr Kevtee. Again another video enjoyed And very interesting As always Thanks again. Take care and stay safe and safe Trucking John Whitehouse.

We can all tell with how quick your mood changed haha ;) but despite this, still a really good vlog too watch :) Keep up the good work buddy! P.S. Still playing catch up, got quite a few more to watch until I have caught up as you can probably tell lol.

[@joshlines16]

Great video Kev! Love the car hauling!

[@Jack_JJS]

Definetally enjoyed the 2 videos this week

[@williamronald7341]

cool truck. i like Scania v8, Volvo fh globetrotter. i really like ur videos.

[@minidriversouthsweden5137]

That’s what I like about the job as a professional driver. I like talking to people who have humour and both feet’s on the ground. Bless the man @ 31:28 he is quite lonely in this time. @ 52:27 a poorly BMW that’s nothing new they took the lights off because they don’t bother with indicators and all that malarkey.

[@cptnemouk01]

I love talking to the old folk while doing my job also. At the moment I'm picking up the Covid test kits from their homes. So its nice too give them someone too talk too.

[@minidriversouthsweden5137]

cptnemouk01 that’s great but isn’t it a problem for you to pick up the convid test kits with the social distancing malarkey? I’m not driving as much as I usually do but I’ll keep the hope up to go back to normal driving soon. Stay safe and healthy.

[@deadsky8248]

Gotta love a love touch with the brambles :P

Hello kev I applied for the car transporter job I found and they received the application so I finished my training yesterday and I am so happy I got the job thank for your excellent work they gave me the keys to my scaina truck so tomorrow I will finally start my job thank you for your help

[@KevTee]

Fantastic news mate, hope your week is going well 👍

[@ryanyy8486]

i may have only found you when u started doing the scap cars but i find it so cool!

[@KevTee]

Cheers mate, glad your enjoying the salvage work 👍

[@matthewhalliburton8534]

hello, Kevtee I think why your gearbox is playing up it could be the flowed leaking out of fuel from the cars themselves and next time your out trucking maybe get some wheel chocks for the car that don't have working handbrake?

[@brianboys9015]

Lovely. Is it possible to turn the brightness down so I can see all the gardens. It looks interesting.

[@stephenwarr4432]

Once again great Video Kev.

[@wrightfamily4373]

I’d of stuck the Clio in gear let the starter get it up the hill

[@KevTee]

That was the next plan 😂

[@christinecrockford1654]

When i was class one driver in 80s and 90s we had real gears splitters range change and none of these sat nav's lol u got it too easy now.

[@jordanb4559]

For some reason those country lanes were giving me some nostalgia to the class one days!

[@KevTee]

You and me both mate 😂

[@andisweetland5978]

Enjoyed the vlog Kev as always entertaining #thumbsup

[@simonwilkie9525]

love your vlogs KevTee keep safe out there

[@leslierhodes5467]

Don’t you ever think of turning the volume down on your indicator indication noise It’s well loud sometimes

[@garethnutt2130]

[@nigelyarwood1581]

Kev for tight spaces you are the man

[@Mr60059]

Hiya Kev , Thank you for doing the Videos , Really do enjoy watching the vids Mate . Your enthusiasm is just great and it shows . Plus the Humour is just class mate . However i was paitently waiting for that Kia to start rolling back . ( Ha Ha ) Stay safe bud and look forward to next week . And looking forward to the next chapter in the " Lockdown Truck Build " Hows it comming ?

[@KevTee]

Thanks Andrew, nice to hear your enjoying the content 👍

[@biker042]

petrol station at 212 time .the price of fuel is slow .but going up .give it 6 months it will be back to 1.25 a litre

[@Jamie_Maguire]

Yet another quality vid sir...will you ever be out in one of the scanias? Be interesting to see your view on one of them compared to the renault. Take care mate!

[@KevTee]

That's the plan mate, once work picks up sufficiently I'm sure we will be in the Scania 👍

[@sammytheseal2307]

Heated windscreens on those focuses are about £4-500. No wonder it's gone to scrap 😬 plus if it needs 4x tyres, that's gotta be another £200.

[@stephenjohnson1911]

Another brilliant video kev, hopefully another mid week?

[@jbunn8126]

First time I’ve watched since you stopped driving class 1s and not bad I have to say but I did prefer your class 1 stuff, maybe I’ll watch a few more see if I can get into it more 👍🏻

[@KevTee]

Thanks for giving the new content a go mate 👍

[@ronnieronaldo889]

Enjoyed your vlog brilliant as always your helping during my lockdown (scotland) see that clio that wouldn’t start how did you get the forward drive when you parked it in the yard 🤔

[@KevTee]

Moved it on the starter as the ground was level unlike where it was Parker 👍

[@MrGaryjames1]

smoke from the bellhousing box region and a gearbox thats quite reluctant to pick up drive hmmm sounds like a soon to be broken down reenoo lorry to me.

[@MrDbone75]

Good evening to you sir from wellington Somerset

[@stevethepom]

I reckon the old fella would talk the leg off a table !

[@davidnewman33]

Ifs I Wouldn't know you was coming up Turlin Road i would still outside of my house and waved 👋 at you

[@XxMaStErMiNdxX100]

I was the guy who shouted kevtee was abit surprised to see him on the moor

[@KevTee]

Ahhhh nice to see you Tyler, sorry I couldn't stop for a chat, was a bit under pressure at that point but thought I'd include you in the vlog as a thank you for saying hi 😁👍

[@jelomaxjoiner]

More impossible reversing , good job your slim not much room left to get out of cab on last car . Good job done

[@KevTee]

Cheers John, yeah it's a good job I'm loosing weight after being sat on my butt all day in my previous artic job 😂

[@MrGaryjames1]

the kia has a foot operated hand/E brake just for future reference

[@KevTee]

Great when the foot operated handbrake works 😂

[@MrGaryjames1]

duly noted

[@alexirwin7036]

Kias r granny cars

[@dylantrinder1571]

If you left your cab and walked anti-clockwise around your truck to the pto hydraulic controls, you’d save yourself time and expend less energy. Just saying. Keep up the great work 👍🏻.

[@dextergord1161]

Great video Kev long day for you just think what hours you used to do where are the Volvo videos how you getting on with it 👍

[@KevTee]

New model video just gone live this evening 👍

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

That bloke could talk for England 🤣🤣 kev trying to escape

[@sammytheseal2307]

Bless him though, he probably had so much to get off his chest if he hasn't spoken to someone in a long time 😕

[@KevTee]

Yeah always try to listen and give the older folk a bit of time for a chat 😁

[@georgewright4917]

Loving the content again kev I had my hgv provisional and gutted I never went any further keep up the good content is trucker Jay ok he has not uploaded for a while missing him lol👍

[@KevTee]

Jay is fine, just been busy 👍

[@stevenmann8860]

Kev you know when you a motors on the spec do you have to cover the number plates with tape or anything like that mate

[@KevTee]

No we don't need to cover the plates but I do try to strap the trailer board over the plate 👍

[@andy_v4443]

Nice vids, mate. BUT: you realy need to get a headmount for your camera. btw, you got yourself another sub.

[@KevTee]

Welcome to the channel 👍

[@sammytheseal2307]

34:55 Somebody tell me the name of that bloody song. Haven't heard it for years and I can't get it out of my head now 😂😂

[@sammytheseal2307]

@Zix Thank you so much - legend! :)

[@christinecrockford1654]

[@terrytheoldgoat]

You see what happens when you tell eveyone at the start of the day that you're in a good mood...

[@KevTee]

Definitely Jinxed it didn't I 😂

[@steveo6944]

just started watching your channel very interesting stuff,,, one thing that Ive noticed is your drivers seat,, is seems to be mega bouncy! is that normal?

[@KevTee]

Hey Steve and welcome, no the seat bounce isn't normal as I have it on the softest setting to try and compensate for the archaic Renault suspension that threatens to cause serious spinal injuries when trying to traverse anything bigger than a matchstick 😂

[@theeverythingchannel4833]

When will u take one of the sc

[@villarule06]

Hi Kev, I know I'm rather late to the video - I've recently subscribed and have just been adding suggested videos to my watch list, they're great! One question, using your experience and expertise - with the clio, was it a consideration to move it on the starter motor or are the specific reasons not to do this?

[@KevTee]

Thanks, glad your enjoying. No real reason for not using the starter other than sometimes I forget 🤣 on this occasion it was easier to get the truck closer.

[@villarule06]

@@KevTee Yeah, in the end getting the truck up was definitely the best choice! Appreciate the reply :)

[@cs_044]

The more I watch these, the more I want to do this as a job, i’m training to be a mechanic at the moment

[@farmingace1015]

me too

[@KevTee]

That's great to hear your enjoying the content so much it's inspiring you. Being a mechanic and learning about cars in depth would certainly be an advantage in this work 👍

[@cs_044]

KevTee Thanks Kev 👍 - Maybe one Day i’ll come join ya 😂

[@rabbiebhoy]

You're the only one I watch now. The rest are moaning barstewards. Except wee Scott bit I'm not sure he's still with us. Stay safe Kev Tee.
