I'd have told Mr Vosa inspector that if he didn't like being recorded maybe he should go ask the services to turn their CCTV off as well! Absolutely detest people that think they are above the law because they hold a bit of power!

Maximum weight is 44 UK tonnes that Equals 98560 pounds. And no you do not have to help the DVSA if they pull you over. Your only obligation is to pass over your Licence and driver Card if requested.

Police instructed me to the weigh bridge at Ross, (I explained I had two pallets of insulation, approx 25 kgs). Queued for 20 minutes on inside lane of A449 then over the bridge. The DVSA bloke told me I was 12 tonnes over weight on the front axlel, then laughed and apologised for the police guy and told me to be on my way. Thanks for posting.

Thanks 👍

[@TheMuddatrucker]

All our truck were run on cooking oil and frequently clogged the fuel filter on the old Volvos and filter & injectors on the dafs If I ever got pulled by vosa I had a way I could prematurely clog the filter and fake a breakdown on the hard shoulder 🤫 All it needed was the fuel filter taking off and putting back on again and it’s be back to normal but until that was done the truck would cough and splutter and hardly tick over, it was enough for them to cancel the Pull! And let me get on with seeking recovery

I wonder if the dvsa guy did his checks at the beginning of his shift? His left indicator obviously doesn't work. I'd have let him know cutting across an hgv without indicating isn't very clever. It's careless driving.

[@paulcollyer801]

I got tugged by DVSA once in an 18tonne rigid. I’m, ahem, particular in my checks, (a boss suspended me from driving duties for 8 weeks tryna beat that outta me), but still a nervous moment. Four of em. One tappin the wheel nuts, one downloading my tacho, one doing I have no idea what, and the supervisor. A23 northbound shortway past Pyecombe, Sussex. Meh, they gotta job to do & the state of trucks in some fleets would be way worse if they didn’t exist. Not watched this yet but read a few comments. We’re all human, we all have bad days, and if the grumpy one is always grumpy, there’s probably a reason for it that we know nothing of. Personally, I take very little serious unless it Is serious

[@christinecrockford1654]

I was a class 1 female truck driver in the 80s and 90s no auto boxes range changers and spliters and no sat nav, hated doing london with London a to z in one hand and wheel in other, also did work abroad and furthest I went was Gibraltar. Love ur channel and I hated being pulled by as we called them the ministry lol and axial weights. Trouble is ours where loaded for us and should you be slightly over on an axial was us for chop not loaders. So unfair. We went from artics too rigeds with draw bar trailers and worst ones with turning axial on front of trailer and rear wheels on trailer. Wow took some time to master reversing them. I did enjoy the life style and there wasn't many femme truck drivers around then. Love ur channel much better than that nutter Tim lol tell me do the new electronic tacos tell u how much time have left driving and do u still have to switch it from other work to driving ? I always forget to switch it lol. I rember we used to have too keep the previous weeks thacos with us at all time. I do rember when the speed limiter first came in and at first was a limit of 60mph which was ok but then a year later went down to the 56mph that was painful lol

Oh yes used to out out with my uncle. maps, phone boxes and plenty of excuse me, do you know where.... I passed in manual, I used to write my directions down like m60 j1 keep left turn 3rd right etc. never had a million maps like some drivers though. my truck puts it on rest as soon as you stop. i always forget to put on other work. long gone are the frizbe days ;)

I'm only just starting to get my class 2, I'm absolutely sh***ing myself already about getting vosa checked

[@jamielee9350]

Great vid Jay, the problem the DVSA had there was the fact the inspector does not know their own policies about being filmed, which is all they are, they are not laws nor regulations. Even more so, their "policies" only cover them in or on their OWN premises or land. They definitely have no rights or permission to stop you filming when they pull you into a service station or when they pull you over at anytime on the open road. "Keep on Truckin'"

[@steve00alt70]

VOSA is in public so if they didnt want to be filmed they can go away

[@davidwelch6796]

You may well be right but the unwritten part of the DVSA checks is the attitude test. If you give them a hard time they can easily find a 'fault' or some reason to delay you. Its usually best to put up with the inspectors - even if you disagree with them.

[@juliantwigden6628]

Im currently learning to drive a hgv. Wat do u switch the tacho to whilst ur being grilled by vosa??? Do u put it to other work(cross hammers) or poa

I have all my HGV provisionals now on my UK licence, done medicals etc haven't passed tests. No discredit to you or your videos whasoever, but it has put me off even bothering doing the tests. Massive amount of respect to you. I just don't think I could do what you do in the UK or mainland Europe, the roads are just so difficult to navigate. Maybe the USA, don't know how difficult it would be to get a truck driving job there. If I were to just manage to pass my tests here, how hard would it be to translate that over to an American trucker licence?

@@pamnade Thank you, I've since my last post booked my theory tests, and have taken a couple lessons in a class 2 vehicle. What do you drive, if you don't mind me asking? and do you work day or night shifts, maybe a mixture? I was thinking of starting out on night shifts, to gain confidence when it's less busy Still lack confidence, I see guys around our industrial estate swinging their artics around like it's nothing, amazes me. Will eventually go for my Class 1 C+E (Hopefully)

[@pamnade]

Class 1. I think youd be better going straight for this while you can, save some money. I find it's easier work to on the artics. Most of ours we just back on a bay and wait to be tipped. Just aldi and lidl are self tip and you get an electric truck to do it. My nephew just ust went for class 1 didnt have to take class 2 first and is enjoying it. Hes on 40k for a Monday to Friday shift pattern. No long days either and home every night. I do 4 on 4 off and really fits my lifestyle.

[@BoskiM]

To answer your question about trucking jobs in the US. It is easier to pass your test in the US. The standards are not as high as they are in the UK. The trucks as you know are longer so you have much more space in the cabin. The no 1 truck is kenworth and the roads are long and wide compared to the UK. Even if you drive in the cities you won't have to squeeze through parked cars. The country is massive you will rarely drive across the country which will take days. But you can still spend hours driving the equivalent of the UK in a region lol. Finally the salary is much higher compared to the UK. Unlike the UK where there is a universal salary for truck drivers, in America it is different. Salary varies from state to state as each employer sets theirs. It is not uncommon to earn anywhere from $70k to $100k. If only drivers in the UK earned similar

@John it's the same with coach driving (I'm a coach driver) you have 15 hours max working a day with 45 hours off a week. So the VOSA get really arsey if they can't see a 10-15 min "other work" section at the start of your working day on your tacho. But a walk round counts as working. Not 4.5hrs drive time.

I've come across a lot of DVSA people, both on the ex-VOSA and ex-DSA side of things, fair to say you can spot the ones who used to be VOSA, they always seem to be the least agreeable ones.... Although they can be a real pain in the arse and seem to be trying to cause you unnecessary grief sometimes, I really do think they're a necessary evil - what some of the cowboy firms out there would do if they thought they could get away with it doesn't bear thinking about, the roads would be far more dangerous without the threat of random inspections and prohibitions etc.

Did you get a Ticket for not having the correct Hooking points for the Ratchet Straps, I noticed you just hooked them on the side which is an offence, if done tight it will bend it and can slip off, my old company had to fit them or not use the Trailer,

[@truckerjay]

lol you need to buy the new truckers handbook cos what you said is wrong. the hooks are for sheeting only

[@mrindependent6382]

@@truckerjay I know what Hooks are for but the trailer should be fitted with proper Lashing points which pull up so you can put the Ratchet Hooks in, you'll find out if you get the right VOSA man as we did at the Checkpoint near the Humber Bridge, he also reported it to the Cambridgeshire Traffic commission who informed my company to give me a lecture as apparently I should have refused to use the Trailer without them fitted, + Pissed my compliance man off because they had to fit them unless not using Ratchets,

@@truckerjay there's a Video on KZbin by Deady2012 "How to use Ratchet Straps & Tautliners", you might learn something, I don't need a Hand book thank you LOL, oh and my company ought to have a bit of an idea of the Law, been on the go over 90 years, 3 generations and Green on the VOSA traffic light system, You don't even get your Tautliner sheets tight,
