Oh your back . Great video buddy . Omg I've only been a hgv driver for a year but I love long distance driveing . I would kill for your job . Very jealous. I look forward to part 2

[@bren106]

Welcome return, I needed the driving on the other side fix after all this time. I always preferred M2 A2 to get to the dock. Chased the 02:10 crossing twice a week for years and was always a couple of minutes quicker than the 20 for some strange reason, even though the distance was a bit longer.

[@d1986scott]

bren106 there’s not much in it atall is there i prefer the m20 but the way the roadworks are down there at the minute it’s probably easier on the a2 I might start using it more often

[@jamesmoffatt68]

Cheers Daniel great to see this trip I used to leave Ireland on a Thurs night to tip in Barcelona on a Sunday morning above the city out past the race circuit and done that run usually leaving Liverpool getting north of troyes then next hit to last jonquera then Sunday morning run into to Hatchery with eggs that was in the mid 90s love the vids yourself mat Ireland and Ned kelly are doing a great job bringing alot of memories back to us home birds now cheers

Great to see you back dan

[@TotalOpel]

Happy days - Daniel Scott is back 😃 A man who uses a map! Fair play to you mate - sat navs are all well and good but you can’t beat having a map to hand 👍🏼 It’s great to see you vlogging again Daniel - I do enjoy your videos. Even when you think you’re waffling it is interesting to people so no need to apologise 😉 Just a heads up - I think you meant Storm Ciara and not storm Sierra - maybe you’re into classic Fords 😝 I can’t wait for your next instalment - I’m loving Barcelona having been there myself last summer I’m interested to see how you navigate it.

[@d1986scott]

Peter O'Reilly thanks mate. Sat nav is there if I want it, but never go anywhere without a map. About the storm, that’s just my poor pronunciation 😂

[@jeffjohnson847]

Nice to see you again mate looking forward to it

[@mick1969100]

Great vid mate, best hgv vlogger along with Ned kelly 👍

[@mickeypopa]

32:37 If I understood it right, the fact you did another hour out of Calais means you don't have to do 4h30m + 45m break + 4h30m + 45m break + 1h to that planned rest stop. So in essence, you shaved an hour's drive from the following shift (which would be a tenner with an additional break) and made it a standard niner with 1 break. Total time saving 1 hour and 45 minutes. Correct?

[@d1986scott]

MackP although I shaved an hour from the following shift, it was an hours driving that I did the night before. So essentially I didn’t ‘save’ the hour as I still drove it, but I did save the 45 mins by not having to have the extra 45 minute break

[@hilifta]

Great to see you back Mate.

[@PaulAndrewCrouch]

Absolutely love these videos

[@johnmcqueen3159]

Daniel, it's good to see you again. I love these trips by you now. Drive safe mate.

[@anthony1636]

Hi Daniel, When you were in the states, did you fancy working over their. I have been driving over here for about 5 years now, and its a whole different ball game. I know you like long tours etc, so the work schedule here would probably suit you ok. I am an Owner Operator and leased on to LandStar. So the work you take on is your choice and you can also take the freight lanes that suit you and the type of work you want to do. I do a lot of coast to coast freight. ( lots of Drivers do not like going to California because of their stringent laws ). Any way keep up the Videos as it reminds me of my European driving days...............

[@gremmie666]

Landstar the bottom feeders of the US trucking industry

[@anthony1636]

@@gremmie666 Again depends on your outlook. I know many leased on operators who make a good living on Landstar, myself included. I have tried others and from my perspective Landstar have been straight with me. Its really Horses for Courses. And what ever floats your boat..

[@d1986scott]

I would love to have a go but it’s almost impossible for me to get a sponsor or a working visa. And I’m kind of out off by the fact a lot of people are paid by the mile which means you really have to put the driving in to earn your money. But the adventure side of it and seeing all the different states has always interested me

[@anthony1636]

@@d1986scott Hi Daniel, Yep it would be paid by the mile. And yes Maximum hours most days to make it pay really well as a company driver. I decided to go o/o and lease on to a company as it gives you a bigger choice of the work and mileage that you want to do. Here at Landstar once you have gone through orientation and are allocated a Trailer. You are on your own. They will not babysit you and expect you to arrange your own work, through their Load Board. But to be honest I love it this way as I have said before, I run coast to coast maybe two trips, then have a full week or more off. But hey I still do miss running Europe, and one day I still may return to the fold...

[@callumkemp4306]

Daniel keep going with loads of videos cause it’s good videos u make like welcome back

[@Swimmingforlife.]

Just fantastic to see you back Daniel, hope your doing well, looking forward to seeing you in some great videos this year, I’ve had withdrawal symptoms since your last video😂. Take care.

[@terrywillis2363]

[@kierankealy5287]

Welcome back Daniel, really enjoyed that Video, a great start to the new year. Looking forward to seeing the return trip. Stay safe 💀💀💀

[@ShipsNVehicles]

Hi Daniel Scott. I was beginning to wonder when your next vlog would be. Welcome back. Any big tours you doing this year? P.S have you ever heard of the game called Euro Truck Simulator2? Theres always map dlcs added every year. the biggiset one thsi year is Spain and Portugal are coming to ETS2. For the French lorry drivinbg ban, whata happens to the trucks whick come across from england into calais ferry port on sundays? Spotted an Amazon Prime lorry at 40:03

[@d1986scott]

Thomas Hodson not sure what work I have lined up at the minute tour wise. Ets I have seen people playing it it looks pretty good although it doesn’t interest me as it would be like working in my free time lol. There is a road in France the a16 runs north of Calais up to Belgium you are allowed to drive on that road on sundays, so there is a way to get out the port and get parked or head to Belgium and from Belgium to Calais

[@markfitt3736]

Glad to see ya back was wondering what happens to you

Welcome back mate!!

[@raywelshman]

Hi Daniel, fantastic to see you back again, I really like listening to your very descriptive and informative chat, I wish some of the other drivers would do the same. Since we have now left the EU has it made any difference to your job? Very best regards from Ray in North Wales.

[@d1986scott]

Ray Welshman thanks! At the minute no difference atall. I’m not sure when things are going to start changing all I know is we have until the end of the year to transition, no idea how much it will effect us as drivers

[@jasrajsingh3002]

Hi Daniel. Daniel u r an ENGLISH guy but when u go to other European countries like France, Spain or Germany to deliver the loads the languages spoken are French, Spanish or Dutch. Mate how do u manage that ? How do u talk to the people at the delivery docks ? Could u plz tell me a bit about that coz I think language barrier is a big constraint for ENGLISH guys.

[@d1986scott]

Jasraj Singh I learn basic sayings in Spanish, french, Italian, German, enough for me to be able to ask for things and basic manners. And between my languages and other peoples English you manage to get by

[@jasrajsingh3002]

Many many thanks for the reply mate. GOD BLESS YOU.

Great Video. Love to see how things are done on the other side of the Atlantic. What music do you use for your videos? Love it.

[@d1986scott]

S.C. Austin just using instrumentals really from KZbin. I have had a look at epidemic sound but don’t really like any of the music on there

[@jasrajsingh3002]

Hi Daniel. Glad to see u again on KZbin. Daniel if u plz don’t mind to reply I want to ask u a few questions about trucking : 1. Do u have a class 1 licence ? 2. How many tonnes gvw vehicle do u drive ? 3. Do u drive for a company or r u an owner operator ? I hope u wouldn’t mind to answer my questions. Thanks in advance Daniel.

[@mikeyboy200606]

He drives a class one and max weight I think is 44tons and he works for a company.

Thanks Mike for the reply.

[@jasrajsingh3002]

And Mike may I ask u that if u have an idea about how much an hour can I expect to get an hour in a company based in London if I get an C1 licence and drive a 44 tonnes truck trailer ? Ur reply would be highly appreciated.

[@d1986scott]

Jasraj Singh max gvw of this vehicle is 40t it’s a 5 wheel combo. Most 6 wheel combos are 44t. Unfortunately I couldn’t tell you about wages, they vary a lot depending where you are in the country
