Trucker Jay in the UK: hill

[@petethemod1]

God old Jay, one of the originals, and in my opinion one of the best. I been following from the days of the worktops on the 7.5 tonners. Great to see you putting stuff out again buddy. Safe driving🚛🌪️

[@NE-Media.inc.]

Absolutely! Back in the plasman days :) keep up the amazing work jay!

[@Ssssshhhhh1885]

Hey Jay. I'd thought I should add, I really do enjoy your videos. As a hgv driver that had to come away from the job I truly loved as a result of a medical issue and needing vehicle adaptations, watching your videos keeps me happy... 😁😁.

[@yonmons]

Most excitement I’ve had all week watching you get up that hill,en route to the deserted farm of doom, great to see the workers come out to guide the approaching lorry safely in 😂😂😂.

[@paullfc88]

I deliver to farms, landfill and water treatment plants most days and hills like that are a regular thing 🤣 put it in manual, weight transfer button & diff lock on and away you go!

[@LA-fr7fx]

Thank you!

[@Droneon2012]

That hill didn't beat ya jay, thought for a second that was it lad, ya did it pal, credit to ya bud. Nice Vlog.

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Hi Jay, great view when you got back out from that farm, cow muck is a pain but the smell doesn't linger as long as that from pigs🤭 that can hang around for a week and loads of washing. The puns from Luke, Scott and Martin were good, thinking them up on the spot like that takes wit😂😂 have a good week

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

It was a beefy good video 😆

[@kitfitforpurpose470]

Good on you going all the way, personally I would be difficult and unloaded on the hard standing before the silage.

[@mickm234]

Hill stall drill Bedford MK - keep going up until won’t go any further, let it stall, foot straight onto the foot brake, to hold it, hopefully. Keep foot on foot brake, select reverse, foot off foot brake. Restart engine with clutch engaged, and she sets off back down the hill in reverse, keep off brakes, so she doesn’t slide from underneath you. And try again. Forty years ago, from memory… 😀🤞

[@mickm234]

P.s - I think a may have left the swearing in, shows how hard the job is TBF. Great video. 😀

[@nickcastleton7438]

Great video Jay, blimey that farm was tight and as for your yard a nightmare, doesn’t a shunter put stuff in order, when I was shunting for a bus company we had 70 buses it a small yard and they had to put in order for morning run out!! Drivers didn’t have to move things about!

[@andrewperkins8532]

that farm just reminds me of one my dad loaded out of in Norfolk when I was a kid, mud and crap everywhere and he had to reverse all the way back to the main road.

[@Camberwell86]

23:21 I found myself leaning left like I used to do as a kid playing Mario Kart thinking it would help the thing on the TV turn the corner lmao 😅

[@JohnWilliams-di3zs]

A great video but goodness me that farm delivery was something else. So very tight with all the mud and mess. That hill was a real challenge which you sorted absolutely brilliantly. Your yard is really very congested as well and finding your trailer is quite difficult. Stay safe and take care.

[@petercross8871]

Hi Jay, I think your Sat Nav stitched you, at the tappas bar, Thorncliffe Lane, if you had stayed on that and not gone on the hill it takes you on a decent road and you hook a right on to blakey, couple of miles and that farm you went to is on the left. Used to run that area regular. great video mate, take care, stay safe 🤔👌😂😂

[@grahammoss8067]

Great to see you vlogging again 👍

[@stugill4513]

good 1 as always jay thanks 4 posting keep them coming m8

[@rogerbinny1996]

Great video as usual . Just goes to prove Army training and making use of it works .. Stay safe and healthy .

[@paulmarch8659]

Stop being a Pratt army training if he had just left it in crawler she would have got u the hill again a road Legend 🙂😂😂😂

[@timfrancis6813]

I wonder how new drivers would have coped with that hill

[@johnwhitehouse9885]

Thank you Jay. Enjoyed your video. Thinking You and Scott Andrews are the farmers best Drives. Bet you cannot wait to go back to that one. Still we enjoyed it. Thanks again Nice to see back. Take care and Stay safe and safe Trucking.

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

It would make instresting content from the mirror view...

[@paulgillan7622]

Great vlog jay 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaulL42654]

18:22 perfectt example of why dual clutch i-shift is so good compared to traditional single clutch box's like this - you want to up shift because you want more speed but the gearshift is just so damn slow that by the time it's changed up you're basically back at the speed where it wants the previous gear!! bring on dual clutch! :)

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

I think its fleet spec Volvo FH

[@truckerjay]

this is i-shift

[@ItzChaza]

@@truckerjay sure aint dual clutch tho

[@andrewperkins8532]

trying to get up leadenham hill on the A17 in an atki borderer pulling a full trailer of glass bottles was a nightmare my dad undertook nightly going to colmans of Norwich from Doncaster

[@marcdavey]

Jay left skid marks behind him lol

[@iancoupe20v43]

just a little tip from a old school driver, i am not sure how this would work in a automatic truck, but in a manual select crawler give it some welly and as soon as it starts to spin the wheels slide your foot of the throttle and slam it back on the throttle this got me up fosse bridge. thats one steep hill.

[@qaza007qaza]

Jay it's been a while since I caught up with some of your vlogs this was great.You really was out in the sticks I can imagine once you was going down that track you was thinking please let there be somewhere to spin round👌your yard seems a pain with all them dropped trailers and don't that radio pi$$ you off?look forward to your next vlog

[@adeksadeksinski681]

You should lift your mid axle before driving up that hill and drive in manual. Where do you get your licence?

[@philsnaith6646]

yep should of expected what would happen.

[@waynehammerton5698]

Good job that wasn't me stuck on that hill Jay all the vlog would have been full of would have been bleep bleep bleep bleep lol 😆

[@darronvine4387]

Why haven’t the transport industry welcomed “what 3 words” where you can find the location within 10 feet / 3 meters

[@Droneon2012]

That's what I use, it's great not had a fault yet.

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

Bridge height issues. They have to use a sat nav which they can put their vehicle height into

[@adamswindells2310]

I delivered to a farm yesterday and the woman mentioned this and sent me a link for the location. Never heard of it before. Brilliant who ever come up with it

[@darronvine4387]

@@EddieTruckingAdventures what about getting the 'What3Words' location and then putting the GPS location (within 3m) into the sat nav. There's got to be a better way to give the driver more info on the location and possible route.

[@ashleygiles1591]

Good vlog

[@jeffjohnson847]

Good video mate when your in the yard at night don’t you go Home and get an early start next day

[@DrRobert7898]

Jenko would have been in tears going in that farm with his truck lol did it smell nice

[@Christopherj1492]

I can safely say ive not had this problem....yet haha

[@sevenscounty409]

Thats a dangerous situation right there. Needs to put the hands brake on, built up enough air pressure again. Use crawler gear. Oo shit it's an automatic. Never back up the truck, you will just end up in an accident, you rather have it towed from that situation

[@markwillis7654]

Good one jay, hill didnt beat ya , have to say that yard ye have would fo my head in, moving trailers to get trailers 🙉, Stay safe ☘👍☘

Sorry about you getting cow poo all over your trousers but the drive to the farm was entertaining 👍

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the channel keep up the good vid thanks lee

[@lotsof99s]

Should have dropped it into manual so it didn't change gear. Rookie error

[@dm78638]

Awesome video 😄🚛

[@Leebo88]

Man VS Hill

[@jameshumble_gtuk6978]

Great video

[@mickpalmer3521]

Just put it in manual and leave it , choose the correct gear before the hill and don't change up until you reach the top , just keep up your momentum , easy peasy .

[@billstott9042]

Does Maxi not have a Shunter driver in the yard.

[@michaelthomas3646]

don't you just love automatic's, best invention since sliced bread!! lol. yeah they use the clutch a lot longer than you should with a manual car. like my car is still burning the clutch up at 15 mph, rather than changing up to 2nd gear, and getting gone from a junction. If all else fails Jay on getting up a hill, and you spot a place that you can turn around, then you can reverse up the hill a lot easier than driving forwards, due to the weight transfere from the back of the trailer to the front of the trailer will force the drive wheels into the ground.

[@michaelthomas3646]

great vlog keep up the great content and video editing Jay. :-)

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

Some truck manufacturers still offer a manual gearbox but Volvo have not been doing manual for years

[@techtinkerin]

Would probably have been okay on that hill in the dry❤️😊

[@stevebarker2881]

Easing Lane is a nightmare my local area

Give me a manual box all day long….bloody autos and dump tag axles, jeez I would be throwing the toys out the pram….👍😁🇮🇲

[@lifeismad2k7]

Knew someone would've mentioned the manual box as I was going through the comments 😁

[@ManxAndy]

@@lifeismad2k7 autos are great up and down the motorway, but in certain circumstances you can’t beat having full control with a clutch and manual box…..I’ve driven both , and yes I love the ease of an auto , to let you concentrate on the road and you’re surroundings….but there’s still a case for manuals in certain areas of the industry

[@danlivi6282]

A little before you got to that hill you said the road was slippy. It might be that you're tyres were contaminated in something like oil, diesel etc making it more difficult getting up that hill.

[@jordanwall5896]

Hi there trucker Jay I was just wondering if I could ask u 2 questions one how come you u put the numbers in the Satnav and also in that number thing in ur cab and question 2 is do u still do drop to Northampton if so I will keep a look out for u as I really want to meet u I think ur amazing person

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

The numbers in Jay's cab is called a height sign. In the UK it is a legal requirement. So if a trailer is 15ft 11 then that would be his overall height. For the sat nav question, the sat nav Jay uses has settings to put his wagon height into to so then he does not hit a low bridge.

[@SuperJrjames]

A lot of these places are ridged deliveries not artics

[@ryanhumphries1377]

Any body know where i can help with my cpc mod 4

[@tomjohntig]

The truck and Jay went up the hill to deliver to a farm-o the truck came down along with Jay until Jay found a way-o another truck driven by a F-k failed to give way-o so so once again the truck and Jay got stuck because of the F-k in the truck who failed to give way-o. Up Jay went in his truck to deliver to the farm-o where he met a lady who cared and told him the way to go-o miss the ditch and also the mud and the day will end your way-o. 🤣🤣

Great work Jay, it's comforting to know your army training kicked in when required 👍 It's disappointing and a surprise when another lorry doesn't give way on the hill, he obviously knew you would struggle but carried on regardless 😐😐

@@TheTomboy26 A bit cofused here! what are you actually trying to say? fair enough if he had a decent run up but watching the video he didnt have much chance to do that and then another lorry forced him to slow down by not giving way, as for the rest i can understand lifting the axle to reduce pressure but can't understand what else you've said!
