The Cornwall Countryside in a Truck | My HGV Journey

[@daveyjones1970]

The Tesco driver was a LEGEND!No messing about and reversed quickly !

[@TruckinWithJames]

Yes he was a proper driver you want to meet in the countryside!!

[@jamesmarriott3667]

Hi James, POV are a good idea to show car drivers what you can and cant see while you are driving a truck , have a safe week at work James and wishes to the family 👍👍👍🚛

[@TruckinWithJames]

Glad you enjoyed it James and hope Jackie did too! Have an awesome week and thanks for watching again 😁👍

[@CubicBubble]

Am I the only man-child that got excited about the crane POV, and even more giddy about the popup monitor in the dash?! The POV looks mint, I like how to red glow hits everything, takes away the drab dash look. LEDs in the footwell would add to the Feng Shui in there IMO.

[@TruckinWithJames]

Haha cheers Gary, really happy you enjoyed it bud! By the looks of things I’ll be doing a lot more POV if people are enjoying it 😁👍 The pop up monitor in my truck is one of my favourite things 😂 and I would get the footwell LEDs but they would get destroyed unfortunately 😂 cheers mate!!

[@Phil.Weston21]

It actually is so sick. To see people driving where I live. Love the content James. Be seeing you on the roads I’ll be sure to give u a wave and a flash 🤌🤌

Nice one again James, the Devon/Cornwall countryside is really special, the POV was really good, thanks again.

[@ssimonoxenham5066]

i love that Totness to Buckfast road and its great in the summer when passing the steam train that runs beside it

[@TruckinWithJames]

Yes I love that road, glad you recognise it!!

[@harrywilson6862]

[@TruckinWithJames]

That’s awesome mate glad you enjoyed!!

[@andrewlittle7668]

Yes i now the river dart bridge on the way to dartington from buckfastleigh where you left the a38 at the dartbridge junction From andy in buckfastleigh

[@Xenro66]

Saw your most recent DVSA vid pop up on my recommended, loving the channel so far. Truckers will ALWAYS have my respect. As a motorcyclist (I don't even drive a car), anything that big scares me a bit on the road but christ, I definitely wouldn't wanna be going down those country lanes in a truck! lmao. Also, while I already respect blind spots of large vehicles, the POV really does show how little you see out the left hand side. What a madness

[@TruckinWithJames]

Thank you mate that is muchly appreciated. I also have a lot of respect for bikers. Glad you enjoyed the video mate and thank you for the support 😁👍

[@cornishalps9870]

Those roadworks at merrymeet are pretty long, lights don't give you much time to get through!

[@TruckinWithJames]

[@daddyjoemakesit1412]

Hi James, Just came across your video, I'm and ex class 1 HGV driver thinking of coming back to the UK again I noticed on your dash display it having your current driving hours which is such a great thing, I wondered tho do all the newer trucks have that system in the dash in the UK now as I remember always having trouble keeping a correct I on my driving hours and something I was worried about coming back into driving as I know VOSA are more stricter than 10 years ago

[@TruckinWithJames]

Hi mate yeah it’s a very handy feature! That’s awesome that you’re thinking of coming back to it 😁👍 yes you can check exactly how much driving etc you have done on either your dash or your tacho machine. 😁👍

[@bikerdad63]

Hey James I used to drive a 40' straight truck myself here in the states, with a 72' hiab knuckle boom with jib delivering roof materials to the roof. I miss running that truck. We don't use stub nose trucks over here so I had about maybe 6-7' sticking out front unlike you guys in the UK.

[@TruckinWithJames]

That sounds awesome mate!! No your truck sounded longer than mine 😅

[@bikerdad63]

@@TruckinWithJames I enjoyed driving it most of the time. You guys have a lot more tiny roads then us though.

[@TruckinWithJames]

@@bikerdad63 yeah I can imagine, think that’s why your trucks are slightly bigger mate! But I’d love to drive a truck in America one day 🇺🇸

[@TruckinWithJames]

That’s amazing, thanks for watching mate much appreciated!! Oh yeah I know all the routes now 😆

[@neilinnature]

When you see a blue not suitable for heavy goods vehicles sign do you just stop and reserve ? Do some drivers not pay attention ? Only ask as I live down one here in Cornwall and the other day a 7.5 tonner drove down and got stuck no idea why he ignored the blue sign unless he wasn't paying attention

[@TruckinWithJames]

They’re only there for precaution mate, it’s just a warning. Been down loads of roads which are perfectly fine and some that are definitely not fine 😂

[@NORTHWEST4X4ADVENTURES]

like the personal view

[@TruckinWithJames]

Thanks you 😁👍

[@richyman1988]

Love the pov. How do you judge how far away you are from things on the left, you have a reference point or is it just experience?

[@martinlang603]

I drive a similar vehicle. It’s mainly experience,but it comes quickly. Starting out you do scape your wing mirror, especially down tight lanes, but after a while you get comfortable with the vehicle and its size. Very similar to tight turns, you quickly learn how your vehicle turns and swings around and can make very tight turns confidently.

[@TruckinWithJames]

For sure it’s experience mate, but also all the mirrors help massively! Once you’ve driven a vehicle for a certain amount of time, the width of it becomes second nature 😁 glad you enjoyed the video mate!!

[@stevebuscombe7235]

Defo have a wooly hat of you bud 😜

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

Are you by chance in a hire truck at the moment? Sure I saw you again today in cheddar

No not in a hire truck bud, I’ve been in Cornwall today!!

i would buy one and how can i get one

Hi Susan!! Im currently in the midst of getting some more in stock, Will be ready in the next couple of weeks!

[@Janus-fn2uz]

Here in England we do not have or drive "trucks" that would be in America. What we have are "LORRY" drivers.

Huge part of UK roads only good for horse and buggies such a undeveloped country, feel sorry for them ...rest of the world developing much faster and UK trapped in the past.
