HOW MUCH FUEL MY TRUCK BURNS 🔥🔥💵💸

[@craigryle2048]

A true genuine ambassador for modern trucking. Well done.

[@Sandy-Flat-Out-Flat-Broke]

I appreciate that

[@garrygrant2827]

Hi sandy I have a 770s v8 and go through a lot of diesel . fully loaded even with the 770s v8 it pulls well but I feel your pain when you look at consumption but doing heavy loads it's part of the job . I do Scotland to most of Europe .I spend hundreds of thousands a year sometimes I wish I was connected to north sea oil.. At the end of the day I love what I do and you pay for driving and owning a big truck hauling heavy loads. Aye sandy being away from home takes its toll on you and any partners wife kids ect . You can get into a bit of a spiral but you just have to not get lost and keep it from driving you mad all the best with your company sandy 😊

[@TruckinDavo]

Truckers & Farmers. High costs, Minimum returns. Here in the states we truckers need to make about $1,000 USD ($807 GBP) per day to make a decent living for Dry Freight as owner operators. Every driver has different cost totals but bout a grand a day. No idea heavy haul costs here but I’d imagine triple what a dry van/refrigerated driver needs. Loved the Vlog, Sandy!

Charge by the Hour, and Not By the mile and off the Tacho to the Minute Deisel has always been Dear . Thanks for the Video nice Trailer.

Nothing but admiration for you sandy you deserve it.

[@Kozza-13]

People always forget that most of the money goes back into the truck with fuel and maintenance

[@dantheman7370]

Fair play to you sandy, not easy spinning all the plates you’re spinning

[@davidanderson7776]

Its great hearing the true costs of heavy haulage

[@H3PPYHGV]

Well after driving class 2 for 15 years first week under my belt for class 1 best thing I ever did I’ll see you on the road Bonny lad keep on trucking .

[@neilkeepingitreal]

Rather you than me pal youve got some serious courage taking that financial gamble everyday especially in this failing country good luck...

[@pauljohn6637]

Hi Sandy. What you may of mentioned was that you had to front that money for fuel, your hours of pay and standing costs along with pricing and planning time. The risk factor is immense, just as the pressure to succeed. Lots of respect to you. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

[@ChrisDaniel4143]

Hi buddy great your busy. Maybe you’ll get to the stage where you’ll have someone in your old truck or have a subbie working closely with you. Remember your overall health is everything.

[@Geordie_T-REX]

Great video seen you a few times now over the last few weeks looks amazing keep up the class work mate

[@graemesemple8551]

Cracking on as usual Sandy doing great

[@danielcook3609]

Nice insight shut personal I know but would be cool to hear what you get paid by the customer to move these machines, funny little dog at tim there too top video keep it chin up you've created a very good business for yourself

[@HT-MAKER]

Absolutely great watch Sandy, these videos are gems mate

[@euanlean]

What an absolute pilot 🫡🛫, great video as usual ❤

[@ciderant]

Loved the bit about the tree😂😂😂. A 770 would be great for the big hills up your way but then you will lose the lovely big cab😢. I don't mind any videos you release because it means you are flat out with work and that comes first. Have you recieved your silver play button from you tube👏👏 and if so will you be mounting it in your cab like other guy done🫣🫢🤣

[@kennygreaves12]

Those first hills are killer in my recovery truck do them 2-3 times a week credit Sandy as pulling that load up them takes skill

[@KevinSutherlad-ym7ld]

Great video as always Sandy, wish you the best of luck, you are a grafter and deserve to do well.

[@R_Neill]

this video was very useful as id like to start a haulage business in a few years and this made me open my eyes and realise i need to have a good amount of money built up before i start a business ass how expensive fuel and everything is

[@Tom_Tabbing]

Hope you charge big bucks for this move 🤙

[@martinmackay9461]

Hahaha that Tim dig was top class 😂😂😂😉🤙💪

[@Sandy-Flat-Out-Flat-Broke]

It was actually a dig at myself as well because I crack a tree in the buss video 😂

[@stevenpryce7808]

Exalby services at Leeming bar,north Yorkshire,really good services & a grand selection of trucks

[@zynifi]

4:55 dayum how steep is that hill??

[@Bubblegumvr11]

Sandy the truck looked great at scania and I got a picture of me in front of it

[@DavidBurrell-p7n]

Was good speaking to you last night mate outside the hotels in Glasgow keep doing what your doing bud 🚛

[@vauxhallvin]

Should have put the magnet in front of the Scania, then it would cost you nothing in fuel haha joking. Love the wagon mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Isabella135i]

You should be proud of what you've accomplished sandy! can't wait for your dads ol scanny to get finished 😃

Smiles per gallon bud.

Kishorn to Biggleswade is a trek and then some…….thats proper trucking and I’m assuming Tim the Fanny passed on the job!! 😂😂

[@Dan23_7]

TikTok Timmy, what a weapon he is.

[@JohnnyMQB]

timmys truck wouldn't have made any of them hills something seriously wrong with it in a few of his videos,down to 35 with 10 ton on in a v8 😂

[@Dan23_7]

4.4 mpg avg, That’s some slurping. I remember when my uncle ran his own wagons, he had a magnum Mack v8 and an old Sed Accy Strato my dad drove for him. I remember him saying fuel was costing him about £600 a week each wagon. I’m going back some years though. Fuel price is absolutely robbery nowadays. Your 580 sounded so good pulling up those hills 👌🏼👌🏼💨💨💨

[@dantheman7370]

I don’t envy you lads costs, even when the price of fuel rises

[@dee46569]

My dream is to be an owner operator think my main question is how do you get loads I’ve heard of going through groupage but isn’t much money in it is it definitely worth being an owner operator it’s been my dream my whole life just afraid I’ll make a mistake

[@neilhodgson3014]

Great video , mind how you go breaker 👍

[@NickOrgan]

Hey sandy looking good, I don’t know if you know that Scania have just brought a update out for the 17 plate euro 6 580s thermostat, to help keep them running cooler and help with the piston and liners issue

[@Sandy-Flat-Out-Flat-Broke]

Thanks mate

[@NickOrgan]

@@Sandy-Flat-Out-Flat-Broke no worries mate, my truck, had a new thermostat and software update and now it runs a lot cooler , the needle constantly seats under halfway .hope this helps

[@johnstevebs9756]

Top block sandy take care

[@harryt6412]

Keep these videos up sandy

[@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510]

Nice video Sandy. Looks like you could do with a dolly. I always liked getting up round the west coast, usually something to do with fish for Spain. Up the A 9 to Inverness and across to Skye via the ferry at Kyle, or Ullapool, Mallaig. Just a few tips for you when you're running heavy.... Sit on the front of the seat. and when it gets really steep, or you're trying to get round someone, lean forward a bit more and do a gentle bounce.. Even though your foot is right on the floor, just press it a bit harder.... When we're getting up some of the climbs on the Hume ( Melbourne Sydney ) we're getting about 400 meters to the litre @ 69 tons B Double. And about 300 meters to the litre @ 80 tons A double. The gradients are about the same as the M 62 Halifax area, but 10 -12 k's at a time. Alt 790 meters. Fuel tanks on mine are 1800 litters. 3x a week. Over all we get about 1.8 K's to the ltr on a good day.

Superb video Sandy. Plenty of info there mate. When I retired way back when, my Daf 95 310( dont laugh😂) was doing 7.5mpg at the then max of 38ton on 5 axles so I think you didn't do too bad on that run. Keep grafting and stay safe. BTW, what is your max gvw plated weight?😊

[@philsampson9838]

Great video!

[@briantwigley]

Great video as always, I’d be really interested in what the overall price you charge would be for a load like that, because I wouldn’t even be able to guess.

[@garrywoods8249]

Hi Sandy yet agean another brilliant video , the lorry did well from the highlands down to Bedfordshire & the fuel cost is mind blowing , stay safe buddy and keep on trucking 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

From where to where Sandy ? missed that.

[@davewilson7565]

Hope your getting a good rate for shifting that heavy plant

[@alanmolloy3661]

There are 4 and a 1/2 liters in 1 gallon of gas.

[@darrencooper715]

Great video, keen to know more costings.... and what sort of rates are paid for work like that ! Do you price most jobs on mileage or day rate and or a mix of both?

[@Scania370]

What is your TGW , Love the vlog

[@fboest]

Scania def takes more fuel that Volvo or DAF. 65 litres/100m with that load seems way too much

[@JackTuped]

If the front wheel lifts up im ring in vosa

[@martwebb32]

Do you not do the logging any more Sandy?

[@highlandrc9036]

Can you not put weights on the front of the truck to compensate for the front wheels lifting when pulling uphill?

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Wheelie great video Sandy I'm probably one of your biggest nightmares, I pull a caravan, lol but that experience gives me the respect for you guy's, giving you the room to manoeuvre, stopping distance, appreciate your loss of speed on inclines etc Why is it, every steep incline has to have a bend, taking out any speed from your run up Hats off to you 👏 Your mind is constantly on the go, no wonder the law is so insistent on breaks and taco times Keep safe Keep the vids coming Take care Geoff

[@paddy6859]

I take it you didn’t require an escort vehicle for the wide load

[@nigelhales874]

Keep un green 💚🍏 has much has possible wiy heavy load has we driving no automatic find the ⚙️ to be in than a manual gearbox mate love the video many years back liaded Scotland fort Augustus with mining equipment if the mountain they werer building hydro dam i had left hand drive daf to load to Germany crack on bud see you on the flip

Sandy bud firstly great truck 🚛🚛🚛driving with the very heavy load, respect 🙏 with all the information provided what a great video 📹 and job 👏 👍 I think it maybe time pal for a office assistant bud you've enough with the driving, you could without realising it end up with burn out, as you said your heads full all the time ⏲️ that's not good for your wellbeing

No mate

[@ergotot45]

You have a V8, why would you be concerned with fuel consumption?

[@Craig-gh5ry]

First🎉

[@samuelgoddard5248]

interesting with all the modern technology and electronic engines etc your not doing any better on fuel than my mate was getting with his 6x4 Atkinson silver night with a 250 gardener and 15 spd fuller on stgo 2 work. even my 1942 diamond t running at 60 ton gross is averaging 3.5 - 4 mpg with just a rolls royce c6 at 185hp with a pair of fuller box's. not even going up the hills any quicker either which is surprising considering you have double and even triple the power than the aki and DT.

Hey Sandy, if you need some loads covering - i also run a heavy haulage company. If you follow Tim the video he did delivering the red 590S and the 2 McLaren actros’ are all mine. We mainly do JCB to Europe but often are up in Scotland and can help with loads back down to england if required. If you want to drop me your email address I’ll send you an email with our details. Thanks Ryan.
