This Job is NEVER Boring: From Luxury Cars to Gully Suckers | SWVA Weekly ep002

[@TidyTransport]

That Dennis cab of the gully sucker, looks very familiar to me, having driven dustcarts for my local authority for 18 months. I used to hate the Dennis trucks, we had Merc's, Dennis and Terberg trucks at our depot, and always preferred the terberg units as they were so much more reliable. Built on a mercedes arocs chassi, but the control units for the side loading tippers were much more sturdy then the dennis units they had. At least with the terberg, if there were any faults codes that appeared though the shift, you turned the PTO off, turned it back on and 99.9% of the time it had cleared. Glad you're happier in your work now Kev. I'm now driving a liquid waste tanker for a local plant hire firm. And loving the work. At least I don't get call outs, nights out or calls at stupid o clock in the evening, 30 mins you've just got home! Stay safe and stay happy Kev.

[@Layla462]

You look like you're enjoying yourself. I bet it's nice going home clean each day.

Congratulations on the new job and saying "one car" the amount of times you did in the video without accidentally saying something else!!! 😂

[@mikevaughan4594]

Glad you are now fixed up, you should have been doing this instead of the mundane, shuttle jobs, tippers, building site , and Trent's tramping. Hotels , long distance clean , variety , what more could you possibly ask for . Jobs like that are really rare What an absolute gem of a job , I would love this but sadly at 68 I am too old Have great fun and love your new job and I wish you all the best

[@MattyEngland]

[@MrJoshiej]

[@valentine75]

Up here in Glasgow I’ve noticed a few ex Asda home delivery Iveco daily vans that have been converted into vehicle recovery pickups

[@raymondpearce6306]

A great new job kev great video

[@jbbumpkin]

The amount of time I`ve spent waiting for something to happen in Wanchard Lane depot over the many years I pretended to w*rk for Dorset Council must be in months rather than hours. More than once I`ve dropped a vehicle off in the morning and had a replacement vehicle arrive just before knock-off time!

[@tony-yp6qk]

Another great video has always kev 👍

[@90dfender]

You are much happier there kev.

[@kiwicol7383]

Wow I have never heard IVECO and nice used in one sentence 😂😂

[@williamfence566]

In and out of all sorts provides some nice variety. Surprised you've not got a basic vehicle check app or book to cover yourself.

[@robertmustard1711]

[@DavidGardener-j6k]

Speed limiter on either steering wheel or indicator stalk

[@darennorris5379]

That sounds like the alarm for registering the driver i.d magnetic key

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

That tyre fitter never heard of wheel keys.

[@guy4469]

Dont let them keep you in that 1 car it happend to me i started at new company my waggon was on order i spent 2 months in a transit shifting chairs boxes anything they needed moving buttie run washing cars i quit .

[@monkeymandee5030]

You should work for a council if you like the Dennis as all if not most bin trucks are Dennis

[@jonvolvot4263]

The green stripe on the number plate states it's it's electrice for emergency service's, I.e fire brigade. That's my understanding anyway

[@tyresandtarmac]

7.2 ton those Ivecos always fund them a bit strange as they drive and feel like a van but are a Truck

[@v4nd3l39]

That Gv60 is the Top End Hyundai... Bit like Lexus to Toyota....

[@ShipsNVehicles]

Hi Kev, when you bring the gully sucker and other type trucks back to the yard, how do you get to the council depots? Do you take a vehicle there drive required vehicle back or do you driver your personal car then and driver it back at later date or does a coullege take you? as you cant get gully suckers etc on the normal transporters

[@bigdude8470]

It’s makes you wonder how much the local councils waste money….. that drain cleaner must have cost a fortune to spec up when new!!and they no doubt are replacing it with a newer model!!!!

[@johnmchardy4502]

Is the iveco a 5 tonner

[@leemclaughlin3927]

I hate IVECOs with a passion 😂

[@edwardalannewton8591]

[@stanmarsh14]

Trowell servos (Ilkeston, Derbyshire, Between J25 / 26, M1), just up from me, and the place is a right dump..... been better to stop at Castle Donington / East Midlands Airport just down from there, got hotel there too, or can go for any around the airport area at J24, M1 (Kegworth). Have done the run up to Scarborough from J25, M1 before, quite a nice easy run..... about 2.5 hrs, mostly motorway roads and A614.

[@simoncrabb]

I was born in Scunthorpe. Now live in the BH postcode. I agree, never visit Scunthorpe.

[@marknucita8284]

Nice hotel better than a Scania cab

[@hamshackleton]

The expensive EV didn't self-ignite, then! :-)

[@paulwatts2192]

Pick a fire engine I can see your grin from miles away.

[@simonoxenham]

£1200 for that BMW very nice

[@spyjim]

Not bad for a £600 car
