Trucker Jay in the UK: Volvo FM Tanker HGV

[@Nostradamus1981]

This has just gotten better - First Luke C in a HGV now driving an Artic, and now Trucker Jay!!...

[@jimboforuk]

im an artic driver myself and im going to start uploading my working day, or in my case should i say night lol

[@steamfreak1]

They finally got some proper trucks like in my vlogs hehe

[@davidpoole3886]

Hello Jay. Really good to see you living the dream, you'll pick things up as you go along but don't be afraid anybody for help. As regards to agencies at the age of 68 I went back to driving with an agency. It was scary at first but I stuck it for 4 years and loved it. Enjoy yourself mate and be safe. Snowy.

[@MrTenctonian]

Sounds like good bloke to work for, sends you out not knowing how to load/unload the tanker and tells you to carry on when the wagon is playing up, especially saying no oil!!

[@s125ish]

Gary Setterfield like a first day test .

[@lordmas2099]

A lot of these companies are like this, they dont care about the drivers, they just want the job / delivery completed.

[@leonblittle226]

Well as a driver you should be able to say "yeah that's fucked, need another one" when the engine detonates itself having run out of oil or just cooked itself after advice like that. That unit just seemed to be a total shed.

[@philipgledhill7227]

You are awesome buddy more years yet philip.brilliant vlog buddy take care and I hope to see you on the roads philip.

[@BlackLines]

Ever see that Men Behaving Badly episode where Gary goes to a Rave and crawls along the floor before spewing on the camera... I was holding out for that happening at 20:50 :) :) :)

[@potter7530]

As usual the agency driver gets the pride of the fleet.

[@truckerjay]

+Hammy Potter always lol

[@stevejohnson4069]

Hi Jay I’m not a trucker myself but love driving around the country with you.the heaving you did over the oil smell made me laugh out loud. Stay safe looking forward to your next video and good luck in your new job 👍

[@2DogsVlogs]

Well done for not throwing up. I've been a few times to our local fertilizer plant. One day made the mistake in leaving the window down and nearly hurled.

[@stevegregory2867]

Hi Jay,drove 7.5 tonner many years ago top speed 46.That volvo engine was growling abit.Felt for you at heaving at oil plant.Take care.

[@warren6815]

Best of luck in the new job! Not going to lie, I am going to miss the old DAF slightly, but onwards and upwards!!

[@col-elrider7434]

I've just passed my Class 2 and looking for my first job. Love your videos mate. The dry heaves at 20 minutes in was hilarious.

[@Wolvesfan-oz6yh]

[@truckerjay]

[@simonj48]

[@Chris-fy8rk]

Hahaha

[@Chris-fy8rk]

+Grzegorz Goral Thank you buddy (Sorry i never got a notification that you replied) I do mate, mostly because i start my first Class 2 job next month :)

[@rick79991]

Nice vid mate,well done on the new job front,how is the new tom tom doing,apart from the wi fi to update it,is it more or less like the trucker 6000 regarding maps and routeing etc? Cheers

[@NWforager]

drove double tankers right out of school for couple of months . Ended up driving straight truck like you just left for more money actually . Baffleless double tankers are a new experience , wait til you have to pull those . =)

[@pablosearth]

Jay, i feel for ya buddy. Ive just had exact thing happen to me last week with a tanker company and i was only on £9 with agency! As soon as i got in the truck i had every warning light come on and when i got to the tipping site it was an absolute joke. Really put me off agency work. Start full time next week. 4 on and 4 off, can't wait!

[@captainmanuk9354]

Your going to South Shields , hope you get the lorry sorted, it might be because the loads to heave and your truck not use to it

[@KevTee]

Great video jay, good to see something a bit different especially the retching, had me in stitches 😂😂😂 good luck starting the new job 👍

[@truckerjay]

+KevTee thanks Kev, I was sick in my mouth

[@LA-fr7fx]

Thank you for the video. So looking forward to a cuppa and a watching it.

[@numberplateguy8511]

Good video as always But a good insight on agency driving generally and a new experience for a different Co etc and having to get on with it etc but learning all the time Good experience

[@ciaranburke04]

Brilliant video Jay 👍

[@clappxd-l-9524]

Great video Jay as always

[@s125ish]

Onwards and upwards jay. Look forward to the tramping

[@alexpinchbeck6373]

The fh series Volvo suffers with a fault where they oil pressure sensors get wet with oil. That it doesn't know what the oil pressure actually is, so the ECU cuts the power. Easy fix, remove the sensors, and clean them and replace the small rubber seals on it. When you said the oils coming up now, they're the exact symptoms. Up and down oil pressure Hope this helps Jay

[@MrSuckitandc]

Alex Pinchbeck yes that really helps you complete knob. Tell you everyone that starts Work as seals laying about and can remove sensors I swear are you thick mate

[@domalom1125]

eyyyy, congrats on getting your class one jay!! :)

[@skyline_supra_guy3756]

Middlesbrough?! You should have stopped off for a parmo!

[@shaunscouse8509]

Reversed like a pissed horse great shout

[@bobbobby5724]

We had a great drive to day fantastic

[@ivecamperbuild_thomas4084]

If your going up a hil it could be the load rocking back and forth in the tank

[@EinkOLED]

Watched it all Jay, a little disappointing that they didn't train you on the truck and trailor. Still not a bad day's pay.

[@Premises225]

Good video doing my class 2 so hopefully be driving soon

[@martinstroud9104]

Good lucky on your new job jay. What kind of job you doing next week.

[@sardav160479]

I've loaded and unloaded at the site you were at I'm surprised that they let you use your go pro outside of the cab let alone take it onto the plant normally you would have to hand electronics in at the gate house

[@zeberdee1972]

I had a similar problem in a Fire Truck , turned out to be diesel getting into the engine oil through the engine some where . The diesel thins the oil and on hills my dash board light up like a Christmas tree . It went any four times and still had the same fault , although now its fixed . Not saying you have the same problem but its sounds similar .

[@jayd1974]

Good to see you in a Class1 Jay👍Looks like a heep of shite unit.Gona have to start using my class 1 had it nearly 3 years now and used it

[@ScottAndrews]

Good luck with the new Job buddy! Will it be general Haulage?

[@jaredhind]

Hahah, howling at you with that smell! I've spent a fair bit of time around there and there's some damn interesting smells

[@spiderman01980]

Happened to me in a 7.5t isuzu. Wouldn't go into drive and was told to turn off and press red button to reset and it all worked fine. At the end of the day driving down the motorway at night I lost all side marker lights and tail lights, headlights were working fine. When the mechanic eventually came 5 hours later he fixed the problem after an hour and then went to go and it wouldn't rev over 1800. It sounds like it's a wiring issue wich is confusing the system and then cuts your power off because it thinks there's a fault when there isn't. One minute tells you ABS then OIL.

[@darrenmcgrogan8843]

if i can remember, Volvo automatics have something called an Intelligent gearbox, the gearbox sends any errors to volvo.

[@2e0txe]

Hi Jay! The cruise control won't come on whilst you have engine braking enabled.

[@two_n_two8701]

Nice vid Jay. Any news on the winners of the TOMTOM??? Chris

[@richardb2382]

Hated working on the Wilton site, best bit was safety video when they say hear this alarm, just get off site ASAP!

[@truckerjay]

no one told me that

[@richardb2382]

Trucker Jay In the UK They might have changed procedures, I’ve not been there for ten years. I repaired all the copiers on site. Every 6 months you had to go resit the safety video. Told you about the different alarms. One meant get into a refuge building, but one said if your in your vehicle, just get off site quick as you can. They would also be on the site roads with speed cameras, if you went over 10mph, you were kicked off site and not allowed back on for a month.

[@zeberdee1972]

" Any one else hate driving on rails ? " , Trucker Jay never going to a Train Driver of the UK lol

[@garycharles8649]

More videos please Jay!!

[@jayd1974]

I take it that this was your first run out in a class1 since passing your test Jay lad?Did well pal👍What’s da name of da agency you use and are they any good?

[@fraserkirk1069]

really good video, any idea what the engine problem was?

[@englishmaninengland1451]

Welcome to agency work. I've had a number of bad experiences with them. Volvo trucks are smaller because it makes them lighter that saves fuel.

[@bobbobby5724]

Fantastic fantastic job

[@james.chester.3568]

should of got someone to give you a push 😁😂good luck with your new job Jay

[@tecwynpierce9445]

Great vid jay

[@TheDarrenc1973]

Always good to do something new but the boss sounded a bit of a knob...... out of interest did you scale out?

[@glion69]

I can imagine the blokes in the office having a laugh "Hey guys,Jay wants a class 1 job and he is leaving us...Oh well,let's give him a "taste"and smell of class 1" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dtblench]

reversing like a pissed horse 😂😂 Still on agency on class 2... and have my class 1, can't wait to be able to jump up to class 1 (fecking experience) Been all over the UK on class 2 but nooooo

[@gerardbonus5354]

Surprised you were let in there, still it's probably non hazardous. I forgot about the smell!

[@davidsweeney111]

Note to self - don't work for that guy again! Nice vid cheers!

[@octojoe]

Thanks for the video pal

[@michaelthomas3646]

Hi Jay, my car has the same type of problem with the cruise control, I have tracked it to the brakes. every time I do heavy braking then it totally disables the cruise control until the ECU is reset with the ignition key. which means switching engine off, and all electrics until the mileage disappears from the display. then restarting the engine. whereas works fine if I do an emergency stop, or slow down slowly. then cruise control works properly as in pauses until resume is pressed. might be what was happening with the truck, as an idea if it happens again try restarting the engine for the cruise control when you need a break of course, or sat at some stupid traffic lights that force you to slam on the anchors.

[@michaelthomas3646]

Would also like to thank-you for some useful information about the ABS light coming on, I will have to record starting up the car later to see if the ABS light works. :), as I can't figure out what is causing my cruise control problems apart from braking heavy. :) as no lights come on, but the cruise control flashes to say that it has totally deactivated when braking heavy.

[@lifeinsync6774]

New job jay

[@paulyoung5073]

Good on you mate... £16.50 per hour I am a Hgv tanker driver & your rate is higher than my overtime rate 👍 . What agency do you work for ?

[@CrazyPepe]

love it jay GG dude great vid keep it coming :)

[@adamkay135]

When you leave plasman are you gonna miss your Daf Cf?

[@danwok]

Simon storage. Were they helpful?

[@eliass16]

can you tell us something about the money ur making how much to expect. as a upcoming driver im wondering what the finance is

[@chriseverett1142]

Do you use a check manual defect book .

[@Wolvesfan-oz6yh]

Rigid or articulated? I’m sure the reference to classes is in relation to your licence rather than the vehicle. As we know. There are rigid tankers and articulated ones as there are in all HGV vehicles. I know... this is a pointless post.... I just don’t see the need everyone seems to have by mentioning which license classification they have. Classification 2 or classification 1. Sorry .

[@truckerjay]

Harvey Dean because it’s the first class 1 video I have put up

[@johna6968]

Ah memories of agency days

[@darrylkennedy2125]

Good to see you in a PROPER truck Jay. Will you be driving a different truck every shift..? Or keeping the same one..? No more benchtops down dodgy narrow streets eh.. Bet your favourite street is going to miss you as you'll miss it. Sure you'll do OK Jay it'll take a bit of time that's all. Best of luck in the new venture. .☺☺🚛💨👍👍👌👌✔

[@nmejias370]

Are there any 8-10 hr jobs as an hgv class 1 driver?

[@HGVMe]

How are you enjoying the tanks versus tautliners Jay?

[@vikingvic]

16.5 monies is good in the queens land?

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

The green light means it's time to put your chips in.

[@hgvmad]

any tips on passing theroy and hazard or just go and try ? watched alot of ur vidoes makes me wanna be hgv driver more and more to be honest

[@ryanvanderbrink3355]

Just plenty of practice! And you'll be good to go. Good luck if you pursue the career choice.

[@edwardjthirkill4009]

Did you pass derek?

[@Liberator975]

Used cooking oil. Like gold to me that is.

[@Mazza666Gaming]

Great video, you have more patients than me if I hadn't been shown what to do I would have parked the truck up phoned them and said come get your truck and got a lift home lol

[@stellarised79]

Mazza666Gaming PATIENTS? It's patience

[@rosssamuel7734]

Hi jay how min video u go to make with class 1 truck

[@woodgeorge1]

Great that was I was sweating for you

[@sammilburn445]

Did you mean seal sands on Seaton Carew

[@Phen0mable]

So you left them worktops company then ??

[@jamesfoster4187]

16.50 a hour, sounds good lol

[@jayd1974]

Have you got you Hazchem ticket Jay?

[@proluxelectronics7419]

I couldn't see you for the first 20 mins, Then you put the Hi-Vis on...

[@jrtjohn1]

Jay. Do you only need an ordinary class one for tanker with cooking oil. Or adr aswel cheers

[@saintjohn6820]

Highland Hiker cooking oil is not ADR

[@jrtjohn1]

The Silkworm thanks mate. I thought adr was for all tankers. Thank you for your input mate.

[@saintjohn6820]

Highland Hiker you’re welcome 😉 Do you have any more ADR questions? I’ve been doing it 15 years

[@jrtjohn1]

The Silkworm not at the moment mate but probably in the future I thought adr was for all tankers mate. Thank you 👍

[@ChrisKlein0]

No ADR for this job, but I’m shocked they sent him out with no training. A leak in this tanker would put cooking oil everywhere and you need to know what to do. Not that there a lot you can do with 29,000 odd litres of oil pissing out 😂

[@zXLuke4efcXz]

If you got caught with your phone out or filming while you had that lid off you probably would've got a bollocking. Same reason why the guy tannoys you to put your phone away at petrol stations - small chance of it sparking and blowing the place up. Bit of a bollocks rule tbh, just don't get caught.

[@mattdabrowski4318]

zXLuke4efcXz he's recording with a camera probably a go pro

[@zXLuke4efcXz]

Exactly.

[@LIKWID]

Using your phone at a petrol station won't do anything lol mythbusters done something on it ages ago, load of nonsense tbh.

[@yurigagarin4974]

cooking oils never gona go up, petrol yeah

[@driverchrisinahgv6102]

Hi pal when you don't more videos hope you are ok

[@DarrenBernardFordSnrTbc]

Is this petrol delivery?

[@mikeconlon5851]

How many hours a day can you work Jay

[@pauljones-tj5vs]

M62?

[@robotmedia5478]

Did the guy at 39:06 punch that girl?

[@dfn03]

Reminds me of ETS2 when your truck is broken.
