great stuff jay, I can remember my dad getting snowed in on woodhead in the late 70's, that cant have been fun in an atkinson borderer.

[@ripongsman]

good one. As you say its all about momentum and keeping in the highest gear possible - the modern automatics sometimes don't let you use manual to pick a gear.

[@CrazyPepe]

Gotta say very interesting driving conditions well handled tho ill look forward to your next upload cheers for all u do jay stay safe keep on trucking #RoadLegends

[@locallyn5643]

Great Vlog Jay. Stay safe out there. The only time I see kronospan these days is when I pass the back of it on the canal, I grew up with the smell of wood in the air from there.

[@johnmartin5064]

JAY ALL YOUR VLODGE ARE VERY ENTERTAINING AND IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU IN A VOLVO FROM DUBLIN👍👍👍

[@20OneAtlantean]

Nice one mate, enjoyed that! Stuck at home with lockdown & recent broken hip surgery... Cracking boredom buster, cheers 👍👍

[@andrewnorris5415]

Get well soon mate.

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Hi Jay, I sympathise with the wet weather and wearing glasses problem, I have to wear glasses for driving and having to remember to take them off before getting out then having them steam up as soon as you get back in😂 you did very well on that snow and slush, something we don't get very often in Somerset!

[@craiglloyd9344]

Hey jay i really enjoy u truck videos as am a truck enthusiastic have been a passenger in a truck before i really enjoyed it as my pal is a truck driver. Keep up the good work jay im u fan

0:57 Stobart really does get everywhere. Even shown as first to cross to France after Brexit concluded. 18:48 Looks like the tip of a traffic cone, just a guess? I also heard continental trailers are taller than UK ones? My old man told me that years ago but he may've been pulling my leg? 24:16 That was a whack indeed. 34:29 Nice old truck on the right there.

[@darenwilson1120]

Great videos mate , hopefully 🙏🏻 I’ll get my license soon 👍

front view at start, of the snow make a great picture.

Always love jays vids when he uploads.

[@tomcawston5376]

Yep that's Bibby distribution for you. Every time I've seen them on the rd they're inconsiderate and sometimes down right dangers knobheads. I'm sure some of the drives are ok but I'm yet to come across one.

[@bren106]

I'm just the other side of Warrington town centre from your yard and haven't seen a single flake of snow on the ground during this whole winter.

[@darrenphillips6456]

I hope you’re appreciated with your knowledge.

[@jameswilliamson4728]

Another excellent video 😊 jay in the Volvo FH and stay safe out on the road next week.

[@cameroneliot]

Yes Jay! Another video! I've been watching all your older videos over the last couple of days, just seen the one when the forklift started to have a go at you and you put him right ahaha! Keep doing the fantastic work mate

[@truckerjay]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@johnwhitehouse5244]

Thank you Jay. Another Enjoyable. Love your camera work at the Start. With the Snow. Just great. And enjoyed the rest of your video. Take care and stay safe and safe trucking. John Whitehouse.

[@truckerjay]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mariaanderson4413]

Yet another great video jay as always mate 👍

[@Vince_uk]

The skills and knowledge required to drive these HGV's in the best of weather conditions never mind conditions as in the video are amazing. Many other road users have absolutely no understanding of how a HGV moves and treat then with a total lack of respect. Good video Jay.

[@Panzerkita61]

Were's yer chains? Does it snow enough there to warrant having them? Here in British Columbia Canada you get fined if you don't have chains for Winter.

[@stephenhealy1762]

Loving the techno beat indicators at the start of the video Jay 🕺

Jay, good to have you back online , hope all is well in your world, have a great weekend 👍

Funny to see one of our lads (Monty) nearly getting stuck at Saica haha

[@gerardbonus5354]

Whilst there are many like it, but that Nolan DAF 36:41 was similar to what Ned Kelly ran when he was running Nolan's, was his fav truck ~ he did eventually "convert" to Scania ~~~ interesting ~ :)

Not sure you should have mentioned on here that you had a break whilst filling up. Some would say that's other work.

[@flammenjc]

People driving with snow on the windows, fuck me that boils my piss. Imagine challenging that when they drive they have to be blindfolded. They'd refuse in a heartbeat yet apparently they still like to challenge themselves... I mean snow on the roof is bad enough, but in a way you can understand how people can over look it, but being able to see around you? I mean for fuck sake..

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

Trafford Park. I live near there.

you truck drivers drive far to fast for the road conditions taken into account the spopping distance of a lorry laden i think you need to learn to drive responcabley

You really are a twat aint you! Clearly never driven a truck in your life. Ignore muppets like this Jay....well done and keep up the good work sir!
