Hi Luke As a retired lorry driver I’ve become addicted to your channel. There is one drawback however, I find when you get a bit stressed so do I, I ride with you and share your trials and tribulations, such as the unforeseen low bridge etc. Is it because I can relate to it all, as I have been there at some stage? Anyway, Despite all that I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next one. Take it easy and be safe . Best Regards Mick.

Hi. Another top video from a top bloke. Started following you and a few of your friends as I was considering a career change to driving and wanted to get a feel for the job before I made the decision.

Deliver to the Nodding Donkey pump ( I dont know if its still there ). 2 x Overalls , 4 x Gloves , 2 x Helmet. . And the daft thing about it , there were Hardware shops in Poole that sold Work wear .

@Sarge0845 жыл бұрын
No, that's what we call a step frame. A double decker has two decks, or load beds almost doubling the number of pallets a truck can carry. Some are fixed deck, others, like the ones I drag around, have lifting decks so they can be unloaded from the same dock leveler through the back doors, which in the case of our reefers is the only practical way to do it.

Seems a pain putting adblue in like that. Is it because it is cheaper that way? In Australia, as i'm sure you do in the Uk we fill it up at the bowser when we are filling up the diesel.Filling it up allows it to go for almost a week sometimes.Then perhaps you have diesel in your depot or something. twice in one trip seems a nuisance, the containers must use a lot of storage space!
