Picking up my Boyfriends Christmas present in my 44t TRUCK | overloaded | stuck load

A trip around the northeast of England on a cold day in December. I encounter a few problems when tipping and experience the Humber bridge for the first time

[@Jayswarno]

Mate, I feel your pain. Unless someone is doing this job directly, they have no idea the effect that half hour here, half hour there delay can affect your day. You were really pissed off towards the end of the video, and rightly so too! Have a great Christmas x

[@roberthoward3723]

It never ceases to amaze me of your resilience to all difficulties and drive all those miles as well - you do well

[@junkorbust9498]

Thank you for sharing the “what ifs”! That’s exactly how it goes. Even minor delays often lead to hours of delay down the road. Once I’ve suffered an unexpected delay it often seems to snowball. Some days I just roll with it, other times it’s frustrating. It makes one appreciate those times when things run smoothly.

[@paulprescott7913]

What an long difficult day that was. Loved the short vid of Ryan drunk in a hedge😂 have been there many times myself 😊

[@alistairwilkinson3502]

Hi Gemma. I'm new to tipper driving and your vids have really helped. I thought it was just me whose trailer got stuff stuck to it. Also, rapidly learning that literally everyday there's some kind of delay and things never go down how I thought they would. Hope you have a restful Christmas.

[@daveshephard6055]

You need to Christmas up your cab. Thanks for taking us along.

[@philiplangan4612]

Great vlog Jemma, I like how thorough you are when you’re explaining things. Keep up the good work 🚛👍🏻

[@colinbourne8345]

Vivergo hull.... Vile place.. Loaded ethanol out of there and took 3 hours to print the paperwork correct!

[@Gearoid35]

Excellent video Jemma, that coal is dirty work, bad form they wouldn't load you, really screws up your day.

[@user-ky4rz2sn8v]

Hi Jemma, nice to be back with you again. I enjoy watching your videos very much and you are certainly working just as hard as before. I love the west country accents it reminds me of my holidays in Devon and Cornwall. We left England some 50 years ago but always went down to the west country on our Uk holidays. We were always going to retire down there but somehow ended up in Western Australia. Anyhow it’s nice and warm here which helps when you are getting on in years. Just been watching a Aus road train 50 mts long going across Australia and through the outback to Queensland. Thanks for the video and the memories. Jon 🇦🇺

[@janettewarren3062]

Thank you for your comments. We love the West Country, too. Take care out there in oz .

[@crawfordg]

Hi Jemma As you say all very frustrating in the HGV business at times. The problems at Redcar, annoying and dirty to say the least. What if, what if. There is an old Scottish saying "What is for you will not go past you". Great video as always. Have a great festive season. Regards Crawford

[@chrisjobling7455]

hi jemma great content next time you are in hull please pop into advance truck components.i will sort you out with a free hoodie and anything else we can help uoi with . keep up the great work

[@hicky62]

What a faff of a day. Good you've shown the down side of truck driving, both last week and this. Hope you wasn't too late back on Friday. Those sunglasses are monster size 😂. Merry Christmas and Happy New year Jemma and all your followers.

[@G6EJD]

Dear Jemma, we love watching your videos, thank you for producing them❤

[@martinbootneck]

Hi Jemz💎, thanks for starting my weekend with a smile and a vid. Coal YUK! so transporting the black stuff, does that make you a...... '🎹 Coal Porter 🎹' 😂. Sorry, I'll get my coat. Have a great weekend. Take care, stay safe and safe driving.

[@johnlawrence7386]

I had just watched a vid and I spotted your vid in the feed after, the headline got me as I thought "what the hell has she bought him"? I drove artics for 30 years so do occasionally watch driver video's to see what they are doing and how things have changed, I'm retired now. I can remember pulling up at the services on the M40 (years ago) watching some guy pull his hair out and noticed his tipper was at an angle that said "yeah, that's buggered". I thought "no tipper work for me" though I did it for a year from an open cast coal mine and hated every minute of it. I have worked with women HGV drivers before, but, they were only doing box or curtain sider work, you remind me of that women (forgot her name, was it Lisa) from "ice truckers" who got out there and got stuck in. I no longer miss getting somewhere to load only to be told "come back in the morning", sitting at borders for 4 days ( before the Eastern EU countries joined the EU) or someone being in a mood. I do miss the European trips seeing new places and the warm weather, being ripped off, people trying to break into the trailer and the police fining you for the slightest little thing, that was before they joined the EU. I will subscribe and follow you even though you have upset me, I could only dream of a cab microwave I had to make do with the gas burner for everything, no quick teas for me.

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Saturday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset

[@johndrew3202]

Hi Jemma, that was a bit of a bum trip for you! Interested in your trip to Ashington as I live quite near. I was puzzled as to what your boyfriend could possibly want with 44T of coal dust, it was nowt like the coal I used to know. You did the right thing keeping over Humber Bridge, folk just have their own reasons for tipping or not, you can't expect to understand always. Have a great Christmas and take care of yourself in 2024.

[@user-po4wg3zb2tPhilip]

Thanks Jemma, another wonderful video.Would you rather do aggregates or farm work, maybe you would like to do cattle like Becky Giles,at least the load,loads itself.Any fans who meet you are very lucky. 🏆⭐💎🤸♥️👍

[@me38443]

Another great video Jemma. Must be great when you go around the country and come across people who watch & love your videos.

[@stebul7996]

[@mervwhitney7229]

Great video Jemma. The big sunglasses look ideal for winter low sun conditions which can be both dazzling and uncomfortable..

[@kevinhaigh3962]

Good morning young lady, nice of you to give out some mugs for Christmas for followers nice touch 🎉, I lived in Redcar for nearly 20 years hated it 😮😂 but that's another story, all the best wishes for Christmas hope you and your nearest and dearest have a fantastic Christmas ❤

[@frankmlchaelglasscock6539]

Your videos are great i must admit but it makes me gald i am retired after 50 years on the road take care of your self

I'm from redcar tees works site it's biggest industrial park in Europe it's size of city of London. And all biggest project it used be corus/ssi steelworks Teesworks website and south tees development corporation mayor Ben houchen done wonders for redcar locals call it redca it's derived from Norse/viking redscar meaning redmarshes which litterly nearby where you loaded from near sandunes. Season greetings keep on vlogs up

[@paulripley2178]

Dear Jemma- you are a STAR! Best wishes for Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good evening Jemma 😊 Really lovely coming for a ride with you 👍🏻 I’ve never done tipper work but you make it really interesting with superb commentary explaining everything so clearly 🤩 You’re such a lovely lady 😍 Take care

[@michaelproctor5312]

Merry Christmas to you and Ryan and family. Thanks for all the interesting video's, please keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more.

[@user-es6jt6eb7t]

Every set of lights turns Red !!!!! 😆- Yep! Sounds about right !!

[@jasonsteele6496]

Great video jemma laughed out loud at the coal present and Ryan in the hedge 😂 have a good Christmas 🎄

[@shaunweston3769]

I did see you the other day at our Shrewton store but didn’t come over as it looked like something was wrong with the booking 🤦‍♂️. I would of loved a cup 🤣

[@chrisclarke7828]

Back in 1973 my 8 legger was in for MOT and they gave me a Leyland artic for 3 days, second day we were running clay for redlands bricks and about 18 ton of the load was stuck, no 360 on the job only a mini dozer, l was there hours with a borrowed shovel and in the end took 10 ton home.

[@rooftops7]

Jemma Coal can be a pain Great videos keep them coming you and Becky Giles keep us all going A very happy Christmas

[@jeremyhaberman8481]

Hi Jemma, Yet again another great video. Hope you and yours enjoy a great holiday period.😎😎😎👍

[@kamianseniorgluten-freefoody]

Hello Jemma just joined your channel I’ve watched a few vlogs tonight Monday 26th feb. Really informative and interesting videos you are doing a great job looking forward to seeing your other vlogs 👍 cheers for the info

[@jamiecrooks6082]

I love watching your videos Jemma, I drive tractors & diggers for different people throughout the year, so I do come across a lot of lorry’s, I love food so it’s aways nice to see what you are having for your dinner, keep them coming next year, have a good Christmas

[@James-The-Trucker]

Was this video film last week I swaer I saw your truck on the A19 heading South from Stockton. Great video just started watching your vlogs a few months ago.

[@davidbishop761]

Merry Christmas to you and your family, thank you for all the videos. ❤

[@billyeldridge3885]

Even though I live in Hull and always see the Humber bridge, I drive acorss it pretty much everyday, and its still amazing driving across for the beautiful view you get!

[@michaelrayner7451]

Another great video Jemma those hold ups must have been frustrating anyway merry Christmas

[@JamesBond-vg6wz]

WOW..what a grafter..First time watchin and loved your attitude and personality..What an inspiration and role model..Massive thanks for sharing on utube, its gonna help a lot of people..❤

[@chris-cole]

5:05 looks like the Spine Road (A189) always busy there in the mornings

[@isbjrn358]

how sweet to give cups for the love of christmas spirits :) have a good one yourself and have a nice and cozy ending of 2023

[@diktater28]

I know what you mean foot down Friday. Guess what? I m always the last one in on a Friday, but this week, I ran into the yard 12 30 resault

[@johnhyde8892]

Hi Jemma when I had my own lorry, I went under that bridge but I never been over it.

[@TruckerMurdock]

Hi Jemma, it's ironic to see you were up here, I live very close to Ashington, and as a fellow HGV driver depending on the time of day I would risk the delays on the A19 rather than go A1 as the roadworks up past Angel Of The North can be gridlock quite often. As for delays etc I'm trunking crisps to RDCs at the moment and the delays the last few days are horrendous. What should have been a 45min tip yesterday was over 4 hours. The joys of trucking at Christmas ha ha ha ha. Keep smiling, turn the tunes up on the motorway, and if it ain't in your mirrors it's gone so let it go. Have a great Xmas.

[@RD.Trucking]

I am surprised you have not been over the Humber Bridge before, Immingham/Grimsby is my neck of the woods, so i was interested to see how your delivery went in ming ming, (Immingham). The Humber Bridge does give you some nice views, I would not recommend breaking down on it though like i did once, stuck there for 4 hours. ^^ My wife always has two cups of tea in the morning also, is this a religion lol.

[@mrmad12341234]

Love your content hope you and your family have a wonderful christmas keep safe

[@mickboakes7023]

What a day. Really admire how you cope with it. As an ex driver I know how you feel. All the best. Mick.

[@intomlinson]

You stumbled across what we used to call "wibbly wobbly alarm test day" in a place I used to work at 😂

[@duncanlang4176]

Hi Jemma Cool sunglasses , the view on the Humber bridge must be great from high up in your cab. When I go across in the car the view is not so good at low level. I didn't realise how many different loads you haul, Safe trunking . Have a nice weekend off

[@stevefarmer3381]

Jemma great video safety gear looks good seems like everything got in your way even the loader got a bit carried away I'm liking the sunglasses and you made some ones day with the mugs fair play 🤙🤙🤙

[@streamleazefishhouse]

The construction of the Severn suspension bridge pioneered how all suspension bridges were built after 1966. It is a magnificent leap in engineering technology. The Severn estuary is a wonderful dynamic ecosystem dictated by powerful tides. Hope you managed to get home on the Friday at a reasonable time.

[@trevorpearson1832]

Hi Jemma.Thanks for the video.👍

[@thebagfather4633]

nice job love your vids. have a great Christmas and new year.

[@tonnyimmink1617]

you worry about things you can't control, Jemma. It's actually quite a shame that you're frustrated by this, it's not necessary, it's out of your control. you couldn't have known that you wouldn't be able to load anymore. please don't worry it's not good for your mental health. it is what it is you did your best that's it. I would have a nice cabin evening and watch a movie or go for a nice walk. sometimes you have those days, let it go and move on to the next day with new opportunities

[@user-es6jt6eb7t]

Go Girl !!😃Cant fault ya !. Those Sunnys sure have a Commercial air to them !!😃🤠

[@ianryan606]

I have just started watching your channel, and love how you put the videos together, a bonus for me is that you came to my home town Hull, sad to see you having problems in the dock's with not getting loaded, that must be one of the worst parts of the job, keep up the great work and take care.

[@Snowdon4321]

The A19 has become a right pain in the arse lately. Every day I loose driving time sat in some sort of traffic. Teesport/TeesWorks is also a royal pain. Spent 10+ years going in and out of there daily and I still get lost as they keep changing the road layouts!

[@williamwright8286]

Hauled bulk tankers and picking up at docks was always a pain . Harry up and set . Take care and stay safe

[@alanyoung8345]

Always look forward to seeing your videos, and it's nice to see you up in my part of the country, Geordie land. Be safe.

[@Davidjeng049]

Hi Jemma, you have these days when things don't go as planned, but that's trucking all over the industry when you have to rely on other staff in different companies. Have a Merry Xmas and stay safe.

[@mrdrive3156]

That's the best bit about the job, Jemma, you just never know 😊 Happy Christmas to you and all your family 😊

[@daklakdigital3691]

AS SOMEONE WHO WAS BORN IN ENGLAND, AND EMMIGRATED WHEN I LEFT THE ARMY, SEEING GLIMPSES OF THE BRITISH COUNTRYSIDE THROUGH YOUR VIDEO BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. I TRACK YOUR MOVEMENTS ON MY ELECTRONIC MAPS. HAVE YOU TRIED THE LATEST VERSION OF GOOGLE MAPS? OUR MILITARY TRANSPORT COMPRISED LEYLAND TRUCKS, SOMEWHAT ARCHAIC TO WHAT YOU DRIVE, BUT WE COULD ALWAYS DO FIELDS REPAIRS. TRAVEL SAFE, JEMMA.

[@garrywoods8249]

Hi Gemma as always a great video , being held up and to get turned away is a bad part of haulage and nothing we can do about it , no one works as hard as you do as your always busy busy busy , we’re can I find the link to purchase some of your mugs in your mulch store please ? Have you a great safe weekend at home with family .xxx

[@MrTrev2507]

You were following me on the A303 on Friday about 0700, at the roundabout i went into Cartgate Lodge services and you turned right at roundabout towards Yeovil, hope you had an easy Friday.

[@johngormley7516]

It's not all fun driving a truck, I used to do coal long time ago to a place that used it, got stuck in mud. So we get towed out and get on with it , but some days are plain sailing, love the videos Jemma..

[@cheechU38K]

Horrible day but what if….🥀😵 sometimes it’s just glad you’re still alive 😇

[@robbo7189]

I work both sides of humber and my record is crossing 6 times in same day ,its a fantastic view especially at sunrise in summer

[@davehooper5115]

Even though It's been a bad day all in all, I love how you keep on smiling It's so refreshing even though you are frustrated and quite rightly so, bless ya. Hope you have a lovely xmas

[@scots_knight4706]

Hi Jemma, Another great video but it just shows how hard your job is, I was surprised how it was possible to take off 800 kilos of Coal, I assumed an avalanche when you opened the back door. I think these industrial estates makes going onto farms look easy, no security gates, induction courses and if you've spoken to the farmer they're usually there or soon will be to load at most times of the day. That's assuming you have space to manoeuvre when in mind you and they've a grain passport filled out. As a farmer I'm probably biased. Merry Christmas 😊

[@kenbrooks7794]

Farmers? "Yea, come on down the lane, Us've 'ad bigger 'n that in yer!" 😂😂

[@aviator57]

Horrible when they say they wont load. Like you say it would,nt have taken them long. Never ever been over the Humber was always told to avoid it because of the cost of the tolls.

[@taff2745]

Really enjoy watching your videos and my grand daughter loves watching you have a good Christmas

[@peterireland2122]

Glad you enjoyed the trip over the humberbridge, i cross it most days and i still enjoy going over it. Great video as ever, unfortunately industry in ruled by tea breaks and hometime which doesn't apply to the haulage game.

[@michaelbenton4117]

Another great video, Merry Christmas Jemma and a Happy New Year. Keep on Trucking.

[@michaelkelly3398]

Great video once again thanks

[@BrasherFox]

Well Jemma, I have binge watched all your vlogs from start to now and really enjoyed them. I do like your narrative, which explains just what you are doing and why. Its great when you also phone the Farmers for directions etc. I think I enjoy your vlogs better than Jenko's. Don't tell him please, he may get jealous. No, you both have great vlogs and I admire anyone, who can tramp the country for day after day and enjoy what they do. There was a time when I could have enjoyed that also but not now. Keep on vloging just the way you do, its entertaining.👍👍 I just can't understand why someone won't spend an extra 20 minutes to load or unload a wagon and help out the driver.? OK, its different if you have 10 lorries at the last minute but just the one!!!!

[@janettewarren3062]

I think it's the mentality of a lot of people these days they won't work 1 min over their alloted time. But would be the first to complain if someone didn't help them. Have a good Christmas. Take care

[@mhiebendaal3836]

Beautiful Lorries.

Hi. Great watching your video's. If you ever need to feel safe parking in Hull let me know. The front of our factory is well lit and I'm pretty confident you would be safe. If not knock on the front door. 🙂
