Trucking Tips 101- Asda Rdc

[@petethemod1]

Good Morning Chris, thank you for a very informative video. It has certainly answered a few questions I had regarding how Distribution centres work. Have a great week, drive safe...🚛

[@IANPARRr]

Great video its good to see someone explaining what you actually do when you get to these places.

[@Jackson183]

Good video. Helpful for new drivers as it’s always daunting going somewhere new and not knowing the dos and don’t

[@seanhowlett6098]

Hello Chris, yep thanks for doing this vlog and look forward to seeing other similar ones. Safe driving mate.

[@pixelwarrior6174]

Great video as always Chris I start my new job today on containers so looking forward to it

[@truckingchris1716]

Pixel Warrior best of luck mate and remember top tip open your doors before you back on a bay

[@christopherboyes66]

Hi Chris very enjoyable and informative video loving the vlogs keep them coming

[@dmftrucking8409]

Great Video & the motor sounds Mint Chris

[@mrsb2914]

Interesting thanks. I've always wondered how distribution depots work and found this a nice fly on the wall insight.

[@roystonvazie]

The cam on the bunk ladder is the best view for me!

[@jackiemarriott8129]

Hi Chris, great video as always, can you do a video about the blind spots on the lorry when you are stopped, driving and revering please take care and drive carefully

[@truckingchris1716]

jackie marriott of course I will I shall start putting footage together for that

[@jackiemarriott8129]

Hi Chris, we both understand the blind spots but other people don't know what they are

[@kenshaw6985]

Crackin vlog pal other supermarkets cud be good too safe one

[@truckingchris1716]

Steve Martin that’s my plan just wanted to do this one to see what people thought of it

[@TheThejpmshow]

All supermarket RDCs are slightly different One Asda one I’ve been to uses a wheel chock, comes out of floor and locks you to the bay Sainsbury’s - put your keys on a hook and they pull them up a pipe Morrison’s - hand them in at desk Tesco - use a locker and get a tiny, easily losable metal fob in return. The entry system is good as long as you are computer literate

[@mojothejester9889]

I'm doing my class 2 and class 1, will be driving for Asda. Skelmersdale is the warehouse I work at :-D

[@mojothejester9889]

When you said bay 67, I was hoping to see my name on it, I usually unload bays 64-68 and 75-82. Either that, or I'm in the yard on the forklift

[@christyler373]

greetings from norfolk brell job

[@richardcrisp6166]

Hi Chris Very interesting I’m an ex trucker now retired. You read/hear horror stories of delays and jobsworth at the major RDC around the country this delivery seemed fairly “normal “. How long did they take to tip you and have you’re ever experienced such delays? Is there ever an RDC you dread going to? Crispie

[@blobby273]

fridge deliveries are less time consuming than ambient .

[@truckingchris1716]

RIchard Crisp hi mate I think that one took an hour from entering the site to leaving the site so was actually very quick for a full trailer. I have had 6hrs before for a full trailer at other sites. And yea there is one or two I think oh great here we go as soon as I see I am going there but I’d rather not name them publicly if that makes sense

[@petershaw8608]

Hi Chris. Do you then use your yellow gatepass copy as a P.O.D being as they kept all your delivery notes? Am loving your vlogs by the way👍👍

[@truckingchris1716]

Peter Shaw yes we do and the paperwork will be returned to the company we were delivering on behalf of

[@jameswilliamson4728]

Excellent trucking vlog chris and how many scania are in the fleet .

[@ShaunReynolds83]

Can you wait in wagon when getting tipped? When you're in RDC's waiting on getting tipped can you have a kip in wagon?

[@MrRobertotim]

Thanks for the the video, you're a good video maker too, in one of your videos I saw you arrived at a delivery point at 05:30 but made to wait till 20:00 questions is are you paid during the waiting time as it is not your fault or your company pays you for the driving time

[@truckingchris1716]

Hi Rocky Kilimanjaro thankfully I am paid salary so I get paid everyday

[@gary63693]

At 7:56 where do hand those keys in? the chilled goods office where you took your 2 bits of paper?

[@truckingchris1716]

gary63693 normally yes you would but at this one there is a second office as the bay is on the opposite side of the building

[@stevecampbell7589]

it doesnt seem too bad at that place. i dropped at one place, i think it was Lidl. I got the gate pass, gone round to goods in, got on the bay, put my keys into the box below the bay light which turned the light to red and locked the keys in place. trailer wheels got chocked and a big red steering wheel cover placed over the steering wheel and you have to wear a hivis and hard hat. not allowed to sit in your cab, you must sit in the drivers canteen. no toilets for the driver neither. i am sure it was lidl

[@truckingchris1716]

Steve Campbell East Durham Minibuses wow that’s a bit much like. Some places are at but over the top

[@rosedouglas3254]

Hi..fascinatin vlog abt bein in an RDC in a daze work----Q=why do u hand yor keys in if u r jst sittin waitin in cab 4 load?...🌹

[@truckingchris1716]

Rose Douglas it’s to stop drivers driving off while they are loading or unloading the trailer

[@sorinstoleru4700]

I want to work as a Truck Driver, where it feels best, at Tesco Distribution? Or Asda? Thanks

[@itsmepaul2011]

Where you up in Scotland today? M8 east bound?

[@robertemmett714]

Cheeky half hour or 45 on the bay??? Eyes kept on tacho head once tipped!!!😎

[@truckingchris1716]

Robert Emmett never would I dream of doing such a thing 😂

[@stevecampbell7589]

Did you just pass me heading south on a19 by Sunderland in a solo unit

[@truckingchris1716]

Steve Campbell East Durham Minibuses not me mate I am on my days off could have been my unit though as it does go out when I am off

[@stevecampbell7589]

@@truckingchris1716 truck drivers with days off? I thought they were overworked lol not like my days at go northeast where we only popped home from work for a nap and a shower lol

[@gary63693]

Just passed my class 2 test in Cornwall UK on Tuesday, been calling into various places and they say it's a quiet period at the moment, is this true?

[@truckingchris1716]

gary63693 it could possibly be true but it’s the calm before the storm so to speak. With Christmas not far away will soon get busy. Have you tried any of the agency’s

[@gary63693]

I have a couple yeah. One agency said, the Christmas rush is soon, so we'll take you then
