Smashed My Truck On My FIRST Escorted Load!

Things didn't go to plan on my first time with an Escort. It cost Thousands to repair the damage and made me a day late for delivery! Absolutely devastated at the state of my truck :(

I saw a ratchet strap on the m6 yesterday! Wow I didn't realise they would cause so much damage! Good to know. Thank you.

[@Deady2012]

Yeah, they can be really nasty!

[@michaelthomas3646]

Great vlog, yeah even at 50mph then not much time to notify anyone within 10 seconds, especially with the blowout to deal with as well, unless on the rear axle of a trailer. only real way would be to have a passenger doing communications, but looking at the state of the truck I think you were lucky there wasn't a passenger in the cab with you. haggis is also nice as a cooked breakfast as well or haggis, gammon, eggs, beans, and black pudding. just chop the haggis into slices like black pudding, and fry it in the frying pan on a low/medium heat usually about the same if not slightly longer than gammon, possibly better if you can to cook in the same fat as the gammon. I keep forgetting whether I like haggis or not, especially now parents, and grandparents rarely go to Scotland now with grand parents in their mid 80's. but still nice to have it when having a banging cookup. the other good thing about the haggis is it gets rid of some of the saltiness of the gammon. either that or parents don't buy gammon litterally coated in 10 tonnes of salt like they used to do.

[@drservices71]

Most chippies in Scotland are Italian pal and aye, we batter pretty much anything. The best things to eat out of a Scottish Chippy is King Rib Supper or a 1/2 Deep Fried Pizza Supper. Or a Jumbo Smoked Sausage (in batter obviously lol) . Btw, Inverness is alright, it's near y hometown but that's a killer of a drive for a HGV up the A9 especially in the dead of winter.

[@anthonypaterson7066]

A classic example of how something as simple as a ratchet strap can cause such devastation. Thankfully I never had a front blow out, back ones are bad enough, worst one was on m6 at spaghetti junction, frightening because nobody gives you an inch. Stay safe, your looking chilled, but not "battered".

Another good en mate. That was a close call could of been so much worse if it had gone thru screen. Plastic can be easy replaced. They used to do battered burgers in our chippy never really appealed lol they was a craze a while back of battered mars bars that just sounds rank. Have a good weekend what ever you get up to deady. Will look forward to the next vlog. Good to hear you were in Cumbria again Penrith is about 35 mile from me in Whitehaven

It could have been a hell of a lot worse mate. I agree! I’ve never tried anything battered haha! But i must try lol!

[@michaelwoodward3919]

Totally agree good banksman are worth their weight in gold , was lucky with the strap incident you now know how to get a strap on 😂😂 lol tip for when you do wide load set it as far back from your headboard as you can it just gives you that extra bit out of you mirror s did portacabins for about 6 years on an eight wheeler hiab truck and most of the artic boys all wanted there unit as far back as possible. Great video mate keep them coming 👍👍😁😁

Hi Deady, great video again! Need a bit of help, What rules do you keep in your head that help you drive the truck safely and do things like mirrors, blind spot, avoiding kerbs etc

[@Deady2012]

I take as much room as i need. I don’t try and squeeze through gaps. Mirrors you look at automatically. Same with blind spots. It becomes second nature to check your mirrors from the moment u sit behind the wheel of a HGV.
