UK/European Trucking. London again! + a bit of an update

[@martinholmes100]

Loving the GoPro mounted on the windscreen! Sound is much better and the view is just superb! Thanks!!

[@dazzerjeep8046]

The camera behind you is better than just looking through the screen as their is more going on and more interesting, I've just subscribed. Great video and look forward to your trip

[@d1986scott]

Dazzerjeep yeh I get that mate as there is no perspective when the camera is on the windscreen. I will try using both in the near future and see what people’s opinions are... thanks for the sub

[@paullee6663]

Agreed.... no idea why everyone wants the camera on the window? Guess they never got to sit on the 'tunnel' behind the coach driver when they were kids??

[@colinbourne8345]

We still have a 1998 erf with a twinsplitter pulling a fuel tanker, more reliable than all the new stuff but when you've had it for a week your glad to have a newer truck back haha.. Bring on the europe tour, cant wait!

[@cabovermike]

Nice video,..i just wish London was like that all the time,..it looked a pleasure driving through there,..i had a job to Olympia about 30 years ago [been driving for 48 years] it was nice to take a back seat and ride along with you,..i still go to London ocasionally to see my son,so I keep my hand in,..like you I like the M40,even tho this week I went to luton and it was a good run down there, tail backs north bound,but s/b no probs,..guess I was lucky,...I,ve got a 460 fh4 Volvo and I do like it, but I have driven Volvos for years,..25 years F88,...13 YEARS FM,...3 YEARS FH 4,.To late to change now,..anyway,safe travels and look forward to your euro trips,..thanks,.

[@d1986scott]

I am a Volvo fan they are a cracking truck to drive I just don’t feel like there is as much room in the new version 4 as there is in the new generation scania. I was lucky on this occasion as it was bank holiday Sunday so not as much traffic in the city as there would be most morning. That journey would have been hell on any usual week day! Thanks for the positive comment 🙌

[@dougkruse5680]

From Calif. USA Looking forward to all your up coming trips-Keep up the excellent videos. Be safe.

[@grahamread1625]

great vid daniel, i came off the lgv's about 20 y ago and even back then the the driving standards of uk driving was sliping + more noticeable at weekends i drove everything from a 2100 daf to a 112 scania inc the merc's with the joystick gearstick :) erf with twin split etc but nothing touch my 112 highcab and tag axle love the rear cab cam more to see. as to autobox i dismised them till i got a autobox car (great and a lot less tireing ) keep the vids comeing , (one thing i was told when doing my lgv lessons was 1 approach and rounderbout expecting to stop (which does not seem to apply to a lot of driver's now and 2 everybody else out ther is a **** ing knob ) enjoy the life on the road i sure did .

Eton 2 speed,takes me back to the 1960's hurling down the North Circular in a Leyland 6 wheeler,with 15 tons of spuds for Brentford Market! Great days...

[@bobbietim1693]

Good video also camera position in the right place, new truck looking awesome brilliant cruise control too

[@denisoconnorchauffeurservi8842]

Great videos 👍👍

[@jag336]

New sub here, just binged you’re Ed Sh##ran tour, I’m so jealous of your job, it’s what I wanted to do when got my license in 1980 and although I’ve done lots of European work I’ve never done events, big regrets! I used to drive with an Eaton twin split on a Detroit Diesel V8 2 stroke engine in a Bedford tm3800, beast of a wagon, the twin split is a pussycat WHEN you get the hang of it. Good work, keep it up 😀

[@duncanwilson7452]

A "busman's holiday!" Great vids. One thing that I would request / suggest.. is that you give an occasional update as to the road number you're on, near the town / city of please. So folk can follow your route on a map.

[@d1986scott]

Duncan Wilson noted!

[@jimos4246]

Good video. Best of luck with the new truck.

[@jameswilliamson4728]

Good to see you back Daniel and the new scania s 500 and is a nice looking.scania and please keep up the good work.

[@motorxplorer]

Looks really interesting work also. Varied, good drives, Eu also, could be perfect 🚛 employer? 👌 Those Scania’s look useful as well

[@terencemurphy8493]

Much better views now you have moved the camera Daniel, good to see you back

Great job Danny boy love how he speaks and it something onever seen before great job Scott keep driving

[@qaza007qaza]

Hi. Daniel great vlog.I fully appreciate all you drivers who take the time to make vlogs and I will be subscribing.I watch Mat Ireland and the all the Road legend Boys and what I like about all of you no swears or use bad language we all know there are plenty of idiots on the road and truck driving ain't a glamorous job but you show how it is and the plus sides to the job maybe if some kids watched all you boys it would draw more into the job.Looking forward to you starting your tour will be watching.I think the Daf looks slightly better than the Volvo would put the Scania last.

[@d1986scott]

Rob Trucker thank you for the kind words I appreciate it. I know what you’re saying I watch Mat Ireland and some of the RL gang and they’re all good in their own respects and I definitely want to keep the swearing away from the videos because I want them to be suitable for people of all ages and I don’t want to give anyone bad impressions... fortunately I enjoy my job I probably wouldn’t make videos if I didn’t haha there would be a lot more swearing involved 😂 there are some good things about the job still it’s just a shame about the way we are treated and looked upon by a lot of folk 😔

[@adam3890]

I think your videos are awesome mate 👍

[@chrishoggett1375]

Bit late to the party on this video. Been working my way through them after watching the divide tour. I have to say the look of the next gen scania has grown on me. Wasn’t sure at first. But the old 4-series cab that lasted till the last R-series was also very controversial at first. I do still enjoy a manual, but it doesn’t make you a superior trucker, UNLESS, you can still drive an old fashioned crash gearbox without grinding gears. Then I will take my at off to you.

[@d1986scott]

I must agree when they first released it I wasn’t keen but it’s definitely a grower 😂 I’m not really fussed how it looks outside though it’s the inside where I spend most of my time scania really got it right with the new gen. Ergonomically 10/10 it really is in a league of its own

[@scottymarshall574]

Nice1👍🏼 Looking forward to the up and coming vids... The Volvo does look the part👌🏼 But FairPlay on the new Scania👍🏼 Enjoy💨

[@petershaw9155]

Nice to see you back. What engine is in the new truck? Oh I thought the sound was clearer with the GoPro. I had to turn my headphones down! Looking forward to your summer tour Daniel 👍

[@d1986scott]

Peter Shaw 1 day I’ll get the sound thing right! Lol. It seems to sound clear enough whilst on the windscreen though which I’m pleased about as that’s where I’ll do most of the filming from this summer I think. New truck is an S500 mate

[@petershaw9155]

@@d1986scott DAF for me by the way. But the other two look mint aswell 👍

[@ste2577]

The 500's in the new gen have L6 engines as opposed to the V8 6 series, lovely machines though the new gen

[@mickeyshone5229]

Hey fella, Really like you’re videos fella as my beloved late old man was a European Trucker for 20+ years from the late 1970’s through to the late 1990’s before sudden illness forced early retirement and he was mainly an owner driver on Fridge work pulling out of ‘Northern Ireland’ to mainland Europe which was usually Italian runs with Irish Hanging Beef and he never drove anything except Scania V8’s. As he absolutely despised Volvo’s lol and he piloted 141’s, 142’s, 143’s & 144’s. You’re new Generation Scania doesn’t sound like the V8 models unless I’m mistaken? Is she a S450 or S500 by any chance? Cheers fella Mickey

[@d1986scott]

Mickey Shone I bet your old man had some great stories to tell too! Still see quite a few of the Irish out there and well if you see an Irish scania it’s 99 times out of 100 going to be a v8 lol the Irish don’t like to hang around do they 😂 my new motor is an S500 we don’t carry enough weight to justify running V8s to be honest. I think with my load on for the tour my total weight is about 24 tonne!

thanks for that cant wait till end of may stay safe

[@jm0849]

New truck is looking smart mate, but you re right about the Volvo! Do you guys load yourselves or is that done by staff at the venues?

[@d1986scott]

JM 08 normally there is a crew there to help load the trucks we do help out though in the back as it’s our responsibility to make sure everything is loaded and secured

[@davidh7492]

Yep.. weekend drivers are the worst.. keep up the great work

[@mikeyboy200606]

Great video mate. Just a quickie what does the green L mean on the bumper is it to say its left hand drive?

[@d1986scott]

Mike Kelsall the green L stands for lahmshcutz there are parts of Austria where your vehicle must meet noise reduction requirements to be able to run at certain times of night this sticker shows the vehicle reaches the noise requirements and must be displayed for me to be able to run during those times.

Kevin Bester I’ve always liked the older shape scania too I had a 2010 R series followed by the 2014 streamline but they have really pulled out all the stops with this new generation

[@kevinbester881]

@@d1986scott can't beat the old classics to be honest.

[@d1986scott]

Kevin Bester I drove 1 briefly the place I used to work had 2 of the very last 4 series on 54 plates with the bunk across the front but i never tramped in 1 or had 1 myself only drove them a couple of times. Nice motors but for the amount of time I spend away in the truck the flat floor and extra room in the S cab is a huge thing for me

[@petereyre5188]

New sub, great vlogs. Question from someone who knows nothing about Scanias, but how are you changing gear?? Your hands don't seem to leave the wheel?? 🤔🤔

[@danachappell3861]

More than likely it's an auto-shift.. or an automatic to some. lol

[@d1986scott]

Semi automatic, either run it in fully auto or semi auto and change gear with a lever on the right hand side of the wheel. Prefer using auto unless I’m on the motorway

[@markm-ci6rj]

My Iveco used to have a Eaton twin splitter, but do I get any credit for driving an old Atkinson with a crash gearbox with first being towards you and back, cab was made out of wood? I quit after my second day, it was a horrid truck

I do not care haw the truck looks like, that is way back on the list, most and #1 is haw good it is-reliable,do not brake out. And Volvo and Scania , have good reputation not like Renault or IVECO, MAN and Merc is not bad, and DAF did improve a huge amount, DAF maybe #3 truck.
