I was having an anxiety attack watching this. I wouldn't take a class 1 down there. I'd abandon the vehicle, take a cab home and turn my phone off. I hope they pay you a lot of money for having high blood pressure and offer you a great health care plan

No way should you be taking that truck down those dirt tracks, lucky nothing came the other way.

I remember a few years ago working for TNT we had a new starter with a fresh HGV license,so TNT gave him local runs for the first week,great start for the young lad no accidents,he wanted to gain more experience so joined an agencie, they immediately offered s run for him to Cadburys this was his longest run,everything started fine got within 5 miles of Cadburys , the sat nav at one roundabout said a certain way, the signpost said another he doubted the sat nav and followed the signpost,the road he took sent him to a amateur football pitch,and he got stuck on there pitch.caused loads damage to the grass trying to get his HGV off. Realised after about 10 minutes hes screwed up , had to call for tow vehicle ,didnt really explain about how stuck he was,tow vehicle turned up then promptly turned back round telling the young lad # we need a bigger truck..Time has passed by and schools start to finish. Unfortunately for the young lad there is a match planned for 5.30 hes completely unaware of this.Sat in his cabin waiting to be rescued the agency' he working for have now found outabout his dilemma of being stuck in the mud and start phoning him. Hes talking away for a few minutes when in the distance the football teams mums dads etc etc start turning up,in there beloved football pitch was a HGV fully loaded with 2 to 3 ft gash hole on there on prized pitch about 40ft plus in length all going off in multiple directions,to say these people weren't happy would probably be a understatement,the young lad driver watching all this unfold from his cabin,disconnected the agency call and promptly phoned the police in fear of his life.The police promptly turned up from his request to cool the situation down,not long after so did a new tow truck,,alas the young lad never worked for that agency again,had something to do with a £2500 grand tow truck bill they received. HAPPY DRIVING stay safe

I'm sorry, pal, if you're not wearing shoes driving your truck .you can be arrested for it .

[@MrJimmyT]

Its even better when you ring the farmer and say your in an artic and he says yeah we get them all the time and when you turn up he says oh i didnt realise it was that big 😂

[@jamieh3772]

plan your route...if a road looks suspect, go to google street view.....never drive into the unknown

[@Stone2200]

This is why you check and plan a route before you leave.

[@vaughannewton4430]

You should always have a map and compare with the sar nav never just go off the nav.

As a truck driver of 32 years I feel your pain…the stress is unbelievable in these situations…I used to go to a delivery in Bridport down roads like that and would always hit a problem on them , for example an elderly person towing a caravan coming towards me who couldn’t reverse meaning I had to reverse miles to let them past.

[@BenHikesOutdoors]

As a class 1 driver in the Uk for 10 years I really felt the anxiety watching this. I wouldn’t have gone down some of them B-roads. Fair play to you for staying calm and being as safe as possible 👍

[@djharry2821]

Did farm collections for 5 years and honestly the Phillip's Street Atlas' are the best thing to use. Also if you ever get in this situation again ask at one of the farms what roads you should use. All of the farmers I asked were nothing but helpful and they know the area better than anyone.

[@victorob71]

Awesome video mate you got the camera view perfect on your GoPro especially for the daf some lovely scenery I have the highest respect for you hgv drivers the skill to operate such a large machine in roads that are unsuitable is insane stay safe keep up the awsome content 👍🚚💨

[@Andy182w]

Good work again pal. I’m so glad I don’t tip feed anymore! So stressful!! As a lot have said the Philips road atlas is a godsend. Especially for farm work. So glad I’m on supermarket drops. Moneys great and no real stress! All the best drive.

[@jasonbromfield4231]

You kept calm under pressure no damage done and got through Good Job Buddy 👍👍👍

[@nathannutting4068]

Although you are using the sat nav also have a map book with you and also use Google maps. All three as a combination will help divert from situations like that. Sat Nav doesn't always show road closures as Google maps 99% of the time will. Also ring your transport office as they should also know the best route to take.

I’ve done store delivery work for 6 years and I’ve done some tight turns and back ins but this was tight as I’ve seen for an artic, nice driving mate 👍

[@LisaFernando]

My heart was pounding watching this! Amazing video 🥰👏👏

[@FordyHunt]

Nice driving mate, balls of steel!

[@Mrpepsi320]

Man my heart was going with you. This is the kind of work that would send the RDC boys into cardiac arrest. Ended up down an unsuitable for HGVs lane the other day myself. Made it through but never ever again
