[@chasc301]

[@projectprogaming2980]

Very good video as always Jay love your content every time glad you sorted your truck out and the irlam drop you mentioned is not far from me I'm a Manchester boy too keep up your brilliant work my friend and until the next one stay safe 👍

[@davidrogerbinnyi2573]

Great video Jay so glad they have sorted the gear change fault as well as annoying it's a hazard to safety as well .Stay safe and healthy ...

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Hi Jay, the 3 over 3 in our dustcart can be a pain in the butt to get into gear sometimes, that's a 12 plate so perhaps that one has got a dodgy cable too 🤔 have a good week, I'm in a box lorry this week

[@CagedPaps]

Yeah Walls do microwave sausages, come in packs of two, squeeze the bag to pop them, microwave in the bag and they steam without drying out. Not terrible.

[@markwillis7654]

Good to see your enjoying the new job,, Plenty of variety aswell , flats curtains, Safe travels ☘️👍☘️

Nice one

[@richardclark8498]

Must say Jay you always do an interesting video and tell it like it is if someone gives you stick just give it back as you are only doing as your instructions say look forward to your next video and must say you seem a lot happier working with this company than your last one

[@Graylad84]

Great video mate . You was round my neck of the woods Worksop 😆

Hi jay good news I passed my class 1 on Friday with 2 minors was well happy now time to look for a job Watching u helped me decide I wanted to do it great content as always keep up the work

[@stum8374]

If you have trouble getting a job try agency for a few months then you can show employers what you have been doing, hgv1 driver 28 yr.

[@TheLurch84]

@@stum8374 thank u for advice I shall look at that too good to speak to ppl whom give advice as when new hard to no what what Been bus driver for 6yrs decided time for change thank u again

[@truckerjay]

excellent, well done!

[@nexus215199999]

@@TheLurch84 If I may impart some wisdom, as I've been class one for getting close to 5 years, expect any site that is managed by gxo, xpo, or dhl to be fustrating - expect long waiting periods with good in people that don't like the fact that you have turned up to interupt their conversation with their best mate that got them promoted from the warehouse floor.. That said most places don't mind you arriving an hour early, but those three I mentioned hate more than 30 mins before... Also get used to asking the transport office at the start of your day, if the jobs are in order of delivery, far too often when I was agency they gave you a list of things to drop off (if multidrop) that rarely ever made sense)

Great video Jay. You look far happier and content in this new job, maybe it was the holiday, either way keep up the good work.

[@306s16]

good video as always pal, glad your happy in your new job. fyi can you sort your audio out, sounds like your muffled.

[@FordyHunt]

Microwaved bacon is great, just put a sheet of kitchen roll bottom and top. Fast and crispy :D

[@callumkemp2648]

Jay u have done the right thing leaving maxi. All. It was for u at maxi going to same places and the new job is nice for u cause u get to go to new places where u never been before

[@Matthew-uc3rd]

Jay you can get microwave sausages at any butchers and at any Tesco shop and Morrisons shops

[@batmankb]

Hi Jay, Love your videos but since you left Maxi your audio is not so clear for some reason. Seems very muffled and I cannot sort it at this end, hope that you can. Best wishes.

[@jamesblakestravels1088]

for good crispy bacon ya need an airfryer dunno if it is the correct wattage for a truck but i got mine for about 50 quid from argos n bacon comes out amazing!

[@truckerjay]

limited to about 600w

[@martinsulewski]

Hi Jay , been watching you for some time now and looks like you're enjoying yourself now which is good. I'm only annoyed that I've been looking for a maxi truck on motorways on my routes to maybe spot you and I've come across a maxi twice after you've gone from the company 😂 Have a great week buddy 🚛

[@richardehren4824]

Keep turning out interesting vids

Evening, Walls microwave sausages are ok, you can buy them in most supermarkets

I have done the general haulage, the same as you do now, bricks , steel, etc. I only lasted 8 months, worst job I ever had, spend more time strapping the load than you do driving.

[@alanshelly7068]

Good evening buddy from Alan in Lowestoft

[@marcdavey]

Been quite sometime since you've driven a manual truck. I do prefer manual over auto's

[@007thecookster]

Haha your definitely towing with that gearbox.

[@justanotheropinion9922]

The truck at maxi was always dirty after other drivers had used it!?

[@1013ranger]

You might want to update your video description 😉

[@Daniel143.]

Hi jay not been a long subscribe of yours sorry about that guessing your a fello manc like my self.. just got a question for you if by any chance your were unable to drive or was not doing hgv driving what would you be doing now ??? Love your content..

[@markfoden765]

Hi Jay,cracking video and love how the van was flashing you ffs what do they think your doing it on purpose ffs but atleast you got it sorted in the end, 💯 right to reply to someone In the same manner and tone they speak to you and obviously he's used to speaking to people like 💩 and getting away with it,great job jay🤙👌👍

Strange getting back in a Manual. It’s even strange to watch it now…

[@josht9509]

You happy with the Manual? I find these days it just makes the day 10 times more tiring. Autos for the win :)

[@Adam7ep]

When I play Euro Truck Simulator 2 I keep my trucks in auto mode unless I'm going up a hill where I put it into manual but I put it back into auto after.

[@truckerjay]

get used to it, it has its advantages and its downfalls but i prefer it.

Jay you did the right thing leaving Maxi, you could see how down it was making you. The only downside is you won't come down to Andover anymore 😪

I worked for maxi for 2 years glad I left apart from the Holyhead runs the rest was mostly central London and collection back for Ireland

@@truckerjay we ok mate don’t you get up north east anymore. The videos are good.

I learnt you should never keep your hands on the gear stick between changes. It wears out the gears. Hard to do when you've got lots of changes to do in quick succession.

[@saxondalep1704]

Jay, I've followed you since your first youtube vid. Please please sort out the audio , I've turned off your latest vids as you sound like you're underwater. Go back to the original mic set up pleeeeassse

[@truckerjay]

yeah it broke! this is the standard audio from a go pro 6, my old go pro 3 needs repair that had the best audio. i have just ordered new kit £580 to fix the audio. i won't get that money back for a long time. youtube doesn't pay that well!
