You must be a new driver if you think that unit is amazing. Give me glass mirrors anytime

[@Finno-ft4mg]

I'm sorry but I think the cameras are horrendous, especially at night in the motorway. Give me a Volvo FH anyday.

Been passed my c+e for 5 years now (payed for by myself at 3.5k start to finish😪🤣) been with the same company full time since. Work for a pritty big company in north of scotland that deals with all the major distillerys, doing bi-products waste to bio plants to make gas/electricity and then bio fertiliser liquids called digetate to farms and are own company spreads for farmers with an umbilical spreading system this is manly what i do for the company. We also do a bulkers, vans, pump tanks, vacuum tankers, walking floors, whisky transport, pure spirits also. Been on work saterday to Wednesday shift for 4 years and wouldn't change it the money aspect is amazing. Make £900 topline fir 60h a week🤷🏽‍♂️ so cant complain and only have to deal with the office 3 days a week which is a major bonus haha. Keep up the good work lad👍

Cant stand the camera mirrors....

Been driving for years and never seen that 5th wheel set up. Drove fuel tankers for 20+ years until retirement. They are less than 11ft in height. Now do an agency trunking job 2 days a week with a double decker 16ft 1" . Pretty daunting at first but you soon get used to it. They use high spec tractor units various makes but they all do over 1000ks a day 24/7. Amazing. So much difference to the fuel job as you don't drive very far. My 2 days are both 10 hour drives.

Drove a merc with them new mirror for 6 months found them great with blind side reversing another driver had an issue with a marker on n/s mirror so couldn't see anything only way he know how close to pavement was lane assistant sounding alarm..I drive now renault t480 for a year now and it blows away the merc on pulling power as both trucks pulling 31 ton tanker I flew past merc on a steep hill.

I was going to ask about the queues, I heard it is like that everyday to brief and debrief, I was planning to apply to that DPD, but the queue is stupid, they should have some better system!!!!

[@billyhgvuk]

Great video buddy. That’s the first time I’ve seen that sort of 5th wheel system. Very diffident. But the Mercedes’ looks a nice ride.

[@Snow-tf1em]

Mate, egancies margin on dpd contract is peanuts, probably a £1 at best. Dpd wouldn't pay that!!! Agencies don't dictate, they supply and do fullfill customers requirements.

[@truckman4175]

If you think that German dustbin is the best can only assume you haven’t driven a good truck they are shite especiallly the auto box that takes 5 minutes to set off at junctions and roundabouts

[@andrewmorrison965]

I drive a 70 plate class 2 timber truck with hiab and at first hated it but now love it. The smart cruise control is mind blowing: I drove from midhurst to chichester the other day and as an experiment let ppc do the work. Despite being on winding roads the truck was at the correct speed for every corner, speed limit point and even changed down before climbing over the South Downs. Obviously I was covering the pedals but I didn’t touch them for 7 miles!

[@garryvincatassin7403]

Keep up the good

[@Glenn7719]

My brothers works had a bunch of these delivered recently. Someone mentioned the gearbox is slow responding/hesitant on them. Volvo seems to get a few mentions, which dont surprise me as i recently had a drive as an XC90, great car and a pleasure to drive.

[@flippychoppy]

Great content kev and thanks for you candour regarding pay rates and agency’s drive safe 👍😎

[@JerseyAnt]

Mate just stumbled on your channel and it's pretty cool. I'm actually moving from Jersey to South Wales next year so it's good to get an idea of what kind d of work is out there.
