I think that because you used to be a teacher that makes you really good at explaining things to people in a way they will understand

[@andrewjellis7962]

Totally agree first class teacher

[@peterfletcher3060]

I am ex-forces class 2 driver from the 80's and have not driven a HGV for over 20 years, I am taking my class 1 at the end of the month and finding these types of videos extremely helpful in getting my mind back in the game. I must say that this video is by far the best one I have seen, you manage to explain everything very clearly. Thank you for taking the time to make these as they really do help.

[@philhiggins4922]

I’ve been driving class 1 for 6 years Done a lot of different driving. But I still learned some things from this video. Very calm, informative and helpful to all of us. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload.

[@manmadisond2829]

Among all the Tutorials videos I have watched on KZbin. You are the best. Your Tips is second to none. You are really an excellent teacher indeed. Keep doing the good work.

[@joobie1000]

I'm an ex class 1 myself, retired now, this is a really well informed video with beneficial tips to make life easier for any driver, calm and explained perfectly

[@2916ER2]

I have watched all your videos they have been a massive help to me. I just started driving class 1 for the first time last week and with your tips I managed it with ease and had lots of confidence to keep up the great videos and I'm sure they will continue to watch!!!!

[@jerybrown6430]

Thanks for all the help with the suspension lifting tips to attach trailer and if you have difficulty with the legs.. I didn't realise there's so much to learn after you pass your test.. your a great teacher 🎉

[@chillinghub3918]

i’ve been driving class 1 for nearly 3 months now and I have picked up so much from this video wasn’t even expecting it 😅. Thank you so much you do explain it very well.

Got my provisional hgv form and booked my medical. Just learning the theory now and this video is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@fasttrackblastback8286]

How you getting on?

[@markwilliams8477]

I am the typical new Class 1 driver, so this video is incredibly helpful. So good to anticipate problems and have a good idea of how to fix them. Brilliant Hayley, keep up the good work. Mark.

[@willbowen4065]

Absolutely excellent tutorial for novice and experienced alike. a must watch for anybody who drives LGV's. I think you've found your true role.

[@tartantrucker5288]

Hi Hayley. I start my first class 1 job on the 24th October after passing my test last November. Very helpful reminders. Thanks for your excellent tutorial 👍

[@johndrew3202]

Not a HGV driver but found this very interesting. A lot of effort and work involved in this so well done Hayley. Your career as an instructor is blossoming.

[@Evilonyx]

Good video Haley. A note on the Shunt Button, when used the trailer has no brakes at all (not just ABS) which can be risky with a loaded trailer. All in all you have covered lots of tips that lots of us have had to learn the hard way. This video will be of great value to new starts and some experienced drivers too. Keep up the good work.

[@BarryEllis-vq5zs]

Really informative with no ego information. Great work on your channel! Respect lovely lady!

[@leighmarshall]

Excellent vid well done.Lots of good tips and help for me being a newbie. Thanks to your naughty camera lady for making me laugh 👍

[@torinshepherd97]

So glad to see you back Hayley, missed your videos and was starting to worry about you. Hope you and your SO enjoyed your holiday 😊

[@Roy-rr5ds]

Thank you Hayley. I found this really useful and the reversing video. I wish you would consider doing more videos.

[@williamdriver6205]

Excellent vid. What this young lady is teaching is mostly Technique i.e...the required fundamentals. For new drivers this is infinitely a lot more valuable than experience and skill. Technique on a normal Days driving will probably get you out of most situations, experience and skill will get you out of the most unnormal situations. She would make a good instructor.

[@CoatsandGaiters]

That was a superb video Hayley, truly helpful. All that information is valuable to know. Your advice got me through all my initial bay reversing....."Left to bend it, right to straighten", something so simple made all the difference. Keep up the good work Hayley.

[@Eorski4000]

This is a great video, I'm a returning driver and you've really helped.

[@markduggan3004]

Great video Haley. The raising and lowering the air suspension was so helpful. I’ve watched and rewatched you video on reversing. You have been such a good help. 😇👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Hayley-Wow-Wow-Wow what a video. Absolutely brilliant. It's not only brilliant but its a video we can come back to time and time again to enjoy the pleasure of keeping ourselves in check and up to date, This video you may not have realised marry's up nicely with your Artic Reversing Video 👍👍. Plus knowing that someone has taken there time putting together a video like this together-Namely Trucker Hayley, Well done girl and thank you so much for all your efforts and time shared with us.

[@eccy269026]

just for info i am still serving in the forces as a mechanic and 10 year old tyres were a common thing up to about 2 years ago, we had so many to change that we got a dispensation on the law so we had time to change them all. we spent weeks if not months changing wheels and tyres from rear axles to the front to speed this up whilst new stock came in.

[@simongranger8131]

You just come into your own with videos like this, so very helpful for new passes. Great tips and another fantastic video. Thanks for taking the time

Thanks Hayley. Really interesting although I have never driven a truck.

[@chriswalshaw1146]

Failed my c+e in this day... (2nd time now but 3rd time lucky as they say) Some brilliant tips there and just wished you put ouf sooner 😄 as I had this on my tesf with the legs sticking on my 3a and I just couldn't get them up until I used my brute force.. the guy testing me said nothing (even just to help me) I just got frustrated and then he failed me for forgetting to mention to check my fog lights.. remembered all the others (he was a jobs worth!) Been watching quite a bit of your channel and it's very interesting.. Thank you 🙂

[@michaelthomas3646]

I learned it kind of from experience from the days of helping my grandfather about too much weight on the headboard, and that being the reason why the trailer legs weren't easy to do, that was back in the days before air ride suspension. but did mention it to another youtube driver about lifting the trailer as the headboard had too much wieght. even though didn't help her on the day due to the delay of upload, think she will always remember that tip now. as in work smarter not harder I think I said. 🙂

[@TheOrangep7]

Cracking video this. I passed with the draw bar so I could tow anything in a class 2 and the information on the turning with the artic was interesting. You wouldn’t think you could turn round in a tighter space. Great work…Subbed.

[@scottishtruckerpov2613]

Excellent tips Hayley wish I knew some of these when I first started! Never knew about dropping the suspension to get the fifth wheel handle out I always backed it up more against the pin! Another tip if you still can't get the legs up with everything you have said drop the mid lift this will also raise the unit to help. Great video can't wait till part 2 👍

[@simonwootten5821]

Yet another brilliant video. Thank you, enjoyed this immensely. Have a great day, Simon

[@cloudmaker]

That was very good Hayley, ever thought about teaching......😉🤣🤣 Your approach to this was excellent and the tips were well thought out for new drivers, heck even I learnt something about that middle axle being past an obstacle then you can't hit it even on full lock, pure physics, now you've done even more of the sciences. All the best Hayley.

[@MrFlash4203]

Hey. Hayley great tutorial. One other way of releasing air instead of pumping the foot brake there is a little bung clip thing under both the rear air tanks. Hold that to the side / push it in and it releases air a lot quicker than pumping the brake. It’s also good practice in winter time to drain the air tanks this way to dispel any moisture that may be in there. I learned about this when I had a coolant leak in my air system and had to drain it every day before it got fixed.

[@michaelthomas3646]

to be honnest I thought Hayley would have mentioned the valve release, but think she is thinking of instead of walking around to the passenger side of the cab to the air tanks say like you got all your other lines attached then safest way off the cat walk is down on the drivers side, and think that is why Hayley mentioned the brake pedal instead is a lot quicker to get to than the air tanks. but there are circumstances whereby the valve release can get stuck open, so maybe another reason why she didn't mention the air valve.

[@SPARKY400T]

[@weepz]

Well I never knew about the tyre date. Nice one!

[@leighdamian]

Great Video Hayley. A first class instructor in the making.Explained everything in a easy to understand way.Thank you.

[@billyhgvuk]

Great video Hayley. I was always taught to lower my suspension before coupling to a trailer. But never attach fifth wheel right away. Raise trailer so the legs are slightly off the ground, the jump back in, and attached 5th wheel. Them your 2 tugs. I guess everyone is taught differently. Thanks for sharing, this video was very helpful Hayley 👍

[@michaelthomas3646]

the problem with raising the trailer before you are attached is if the brakes on the trailer aren't on, like sometimes the case in a dock, then you could roll the trailer. or if parked on the edge of a hill, the only thing stopping the trailer from moving is the landing legs. while this should be checked before coupling up to a new trailer there are instances whereby you don't want to fully lift the trailer legs totally off the ground before the tug test. so kind of another safety thing in another way.

[@michaelthomas3646]

but also less damage to the cargo if the trailer slips off the 5th wheel by rolling back. so all perfect logic if you think about it, just that unless you see the mishaps or experience them yourself then you wouldn't think of things like this.

[@garrybailey5978]

Great tips Hayley. Really good to know Thank you 🚚

[@Dennis53]

Fantastic video, have said many times you should be an instructor. You have a lovely way about you as well. Thank you for taking the time to help so many new and I suspect not so new drivers. 😊

[@volvof86]

Hi, you forgot to check the trailer brake is on before coupling up to the trailer. If it’s not on and you left your handbrake off, the truck may roll when you connect your red line.

[@richmac997]

[@robertfromtexas2480]

I wish we had those buttons on American Trailers. If I have to move a trailer I have to connect my red(emergency) air line. Also I like the way European trucks have the ability to lower and raise the airbags to such a degree. Most American trucks have a switch on the dash to lower your airbags. But not nearly as much. I've been driving for 30 years so obviously I don't need a tutorial but it's a good and interesting video
