[@dougparsons93]

Being a former tramper my self i kept my truck clean and tidy. I took great pride in keeping my truck nice but i often got laughed at for keeping it that way so i am with you Daniel your a n ambassador for your company.

[@nerdy1010]

Brilliant transitions to the drone footage and time lapse, matched perfectly with a banging tune

[@latviabalkanumuzika1514]

[@d1986scott]

The crazy thing is we had the time for it too 😂 I don’t like to hang around too much though I’d rather get where I’m going then chill when I get there.

[@petersmith2325]

Great video Daniel. Been following you on and off for about 3 years.now. obviously with covid things were very quite for a time. I've been in transport since the eighties on and off, ran my own trucks for 15 years, keep the videos coming dude.😁👍

[@KeithHambidge]

What amazing drone footage, what an beautiful place to stop

[@kaptain319]

Excellent video. When are we going to get some more?

[@petersharp9897]

Good Video again Daniel nice to see a bit of footage from the bunk looking forward instead of the window 😀

[@MrRinkly]

One word some you and your blogs up, brilliant. Been retired a long time,but like to spend time the Baltics on ETS2. Yes it was tuff back in the 70s doing border crossings, but i loved my job. Been in Australia since 1976 great place to drive. Semis and interstate coaches. Happy trucking D.S.

[@seamusburke9101]

Hard work in the 70s running out of Ireland. Couldn't be done legally but that never bothered us

Nice to see you back mate was just wandering where you have been

[@Fast_car1000]

Another great vlog 👊🏾

[@stevegreen1397]

1:17:24 what an absolute ball ache that is…luckily the tacho in my new truck changes automatically,

[@d1986scott]

Our new Volvos do it automatically too, I have read somewhere that you’re still supposed to change it manually though. But I’m not quoting that as a fact it’s just something I read somewhere

[@tomboland7497]

Have to agree with you Daniel it's just as easy to fill up with cheaper fuel by the driver and you can be dam sure the office planners and the owners see that in the monthly accounts and recognize the drivers that do it

[@oh2mp]

From 17:05 to 18:20 you were on streets that used to be part of my route to job for about 20 years. Very familiar hoods which have changed a lot during those years. Luckily diesel isn't not that expensive in Finland anymore. Today it was something like 2.06€. Of course that is still expensive but not that bad like the peak time which was in June.

[@d1986scott]

Very lucky. That’s a beautiful part of the world and I’ll never get tired of the Nordic countries 😊

[@kowalski7086]

I remember watching a documentary on 90s trucking in the UK, the fella called Howard was driving a Davies Turner lorry to Istanbul and I remember he said that the UK would never be a truck friendly country and the lawmakers don't give a shit about the drivers. From what you said at 11:52 I completely agree. Respect to you mate I've watched all your videos, best POV I've seen

[@CarabaoTravelChannel]

Amazing how well you knew how to drive in Helsinki with a big truck, all the weight limits and such on the way.

[@bradleymercer5387]

Great content mate. Been looking forward to this episode.

Nice to see you back doing videos again

[@d1986scott]

Thanks mate glad to be back on the long haul 🚛🚛

[@markm-ci6rj]

Don't forget earnings are much lower in Poland and other countries round there, so £11 to you is more like £33 to a local.

[@vazonun288]

In Austria (I am not sure about the other contries before), the uploading of dashcam footage is illegal, especially if identifing features (Faces, registration plates etc.) have not been blurred out. I highly reccommend looking up the legalities of this video before there is a complaint made.

[@d1986scott]

This has been brought to my attention. Looking through other videos on KZbin though there seems to be a lot of people who have posted footage from driving in Austria

[@geoffcar5798]

Thanks great video 👍

[@markm-ci6rj]

The having to alter the country after each boarder is stuipd although I believe the newst tachos do it automatically. Why don't Siemens creat an app so you can easily input your settings and see your hours?

[@Bobi-ow6ou]

Brilliant followed your blog 4 years ago and lost touch just found it today, best blog please just post direct POV videos direct from GoPro no need to edit even 20 mins videos is good enough Peace

[@owenchapple652]

Can't wait to watch this. I'm currently on holiday and the wifi is rubbish 🤦‍♂️

[@d1986scott]

It’ll still be there when you get back 😂

[@osprey2k5]

Great video have you done a cab tour in a previous video if you haven't I'm sure people be interested to see what drivers take with them especially ones like yourself who are away for weeks at a time

[@d1986scott]

I haven’t done 1 yet but it’s on the list of things to do 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@boblotoldo3051]

I'd love to see that too

[@alrightdave6135]

Fuel cards don’t always pay the pump price. I am surprised that you thought Finland would be cheap for fuel, it’s one of the most expensive places in the world to live.

[@d1986scott]

I am aware of that. I was just surprised it was so much extra seeing as Estonia is somewhat expensive as it is

[@jurgenfreiberger6593]

DETAILS ABOUT WHATS GOING ON PLEASE

[@chrisryanst]

Awesome video bud, I know you love the USA have you ever thought of trucking over there?

[@d1986scott]

I would love to but getting sponsored to do long haul trucking in America is almost impossible unless you have a wife or kids there. The other option is Canada but I’ve been to Canada in the winter and it’s a no from me 😂

[@chrisryanst]

@@d1986scott Almost impossible isn't impossible, have you looked at the regulations and requirements lately as I'm sure they have relaxed them considerably due to a lack of drivers, if not move to Canada and buy a big coat, you can truck into the US that way 😉

[@killer7838]

Spotted an American truck when you were approaching the truck wash

[@d1986scott]

It belongs to the truck stop I think

[@keltthomas8476]

Daniel why don't you just pay the euro vinjete on the website using your diesel card? Thats how I always pay it

[@d1986scott]

The euro vignette covers Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg. This 1 I buy online with the fuel card. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, all have their own kind of vignette, I’m unsure if you can buy those online but it’s just as easy to stop and get them from the kiosk on the way by

[@62nidge]

The tacho rant was spot, Devised by a bunch of clowns in europe who are on the gravy train, Anither great vlog dan 🙂👌🍻

[@craiginglis594]

Hi do you leave your card in tacho the whole time you are away mate? Cheers

[@d1986scott]

My tacho stays in from the moment I get in the truck to the time I get out to go home. Authorities abroad like to be able to see what you’ve been doing with regards to rest etc

[@boblotoldo3051]

How much driving experience did you have before joining touring shows ?

[@d1986scott]

About 3 years on class 1

[@leehowardj.5647]

Was enjoying it until you moved the camera, "look at that old church" what church? All i could see was storage lockers, abit of the road and the back of yourself. Couldn't see any scenery at all jmo by the way 👍

[@TonyRodrigues63]

From 2025, all trucks that operate Internationally, will be fitted with new tachographs, that will automatically change, every time you cross a border. The reason behind this rule, is for the authorities to workout, where and for how long, the drivers have been away, in other words, "big brother is watching you".

[@d1986scott]

The most logical reason I’ve heard yet. I guess that makes sense. It’s still really stupid to have to change it every time you cross into a new country though. Surely beginning and end is sufficient

[@TonyRodrigues63]

@@d1986scott In fact, that's the official explanation for that rule, I love factual information, therefore, when you talked about it on your video, I had a look at the official website, and there it was.

[@d1986scott]

@@TonyRodrigues63 I do too. Good work

[@wawawswfc4957]

Its all been brought in due to the cabotage rules .....and mainly ee not going back to place of origin....excellent video

[@TRUCKandROLL]

Dan let me explain what's going on with change country in tacho...it's new mobility package rules. Because Polish Romanian Bulgarian Lithuanian trucks did to many deliverys between view countries in EU. Now BAG ITD Police exactly know when and witch borders drivers crossed. Was to many cabotages and unfair competition. Some drivers loads goods in Spain..then dropped in France..then load again in France and unloading in Belgium..then loading in Belgium and unloading in Italy...they send documents electronically to office and keeping just two CMR in cab, others paperwork they put in to the bin. No one knows how many cabotages they really did....how long drivers stay in EU without coming back to country where truck is registered and where is they yard. Just look..why English trucks not going to continental general haulage...coz too many CHEAPER Polish Romanian Bulgarian trucks doing cabotage and transport in England...and England-EU. In my opinion it's unfair competition for English companies. Of course music business it's not a cabotages but no one thinking about music..and it is what it is... You said about pullover on hard shoulder...to many idiots on the roads. If you can't stop on the border law says you have to drive to FIRST SAFE PLACE where you can stop. To be honest I drove many times 45 km to first car park to stop. Safety first mate... agree with you.

[@johnhall3827]

all these reg's for driving to safe the environment are just another way to get money from transport .

[@d1986scott]

Spot on. Don’t understand how charging money makes any difference to the environment

That changing your country is a joke, giving some absolute gobshite a job that would not know 1 end of a truck from the other... On my last cpc ( another money spinning joke ) I was told they are also looking at.. when You are taking your brakes during the day ( not daily rest ) you can not be in the truck. another joke.
