Hi pal, just wanted to say you are a credit to the haulage industry. Your attention to detail regarding the lorry pre checks is first class. Your manners of driving is safe and considerate. Well done mate safe trucking 🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks for that appreciate it

The house in the middle of the M62 is called Stott Hall Farm. It wasn't demolished to make way for the M62 because of a geological issue under the farm, which would have made the surface of the road unstable. Hence, the building survived and still stands, to this day!

Hi Darren not checked in for a bit but so happy to see your subscriber numbers are rocketing upwards. Said they would all that time ago and it's thoroughly deserved, the quality of your videos has never ebbed and I think you are amongst the best truck vloggers in the country now, with various camera positions while manoeuvring, hooking up and doing the daily checks along with helpful advice and tips for new and upcoming drivers. I'm in awe at your ability to keep the almost daily videos coming at such quality, it takes me more than a day to put together one weekly video! 6:54 M62 J26-J27 was my very first, in fact my first 3 deliveries of tarmac back in the spring of '84! After loading and 20 minutes of driving I had to get the atlas out to find my way to the M1! It was on that 2nd or 3rd load that a girl flashed me from the back seat of a bus, I knew then this was the job for me. 😮😉😂🤣🤣 Have seen lots of stuff in the years since too! I remember the tall ships video you mentioned. Sorry you didn't make it back this night but hopefully the old adage was true that absence did indeed make the heart grow fonder. All the very best to you and yours. Have a good weekend.

[@Life_of_Darren]

@@cloudmaker thank you friend, really appreciate the kind words 😃 I’m glad your doing well

[@doncavanagh7243]

Wow 4.5K subscribers now not bad nice one Darren keep it up 👍

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks buddy, nearly at that 5 milestone 🫣 thanks for supporting the channel

[@Jason.988]

Great news on 4.5 subscribers Darren well deserved buddy have great weekend with family 👍

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks you mate! I’m really made up with it 😃 Have a great weekend mate

[@partians]

Brilliant video as per Darren, sunscriber count just keeps climbing! I believe the true version for the house is that the ground isn't structural enough to be able to withhold the traffic. Although I do like the version where the owners didn't sell it haha!

[@Life_of_Darren]

I know mate I’m really happy with the progress of the channel recently! So made up with all the new subs etc 🤞🏻 the only way is up

[@nick4995]

love the little house on the Prairie

[@NapierNimbus]

Great video, excellent view out the front windscreen. Great reversing. Deffo made right call to stop at those services for the night.

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks bud, If I had another 20minutes spare I would have carried on. Only problem is the other services on the way down aren’t half as good

[@thomasmacias5032]

Awesome video Darren that house in the middle of the highway or motorway as you call it is a trip. I bet there is a lot of pollution that you can’t see circling around the house anyways thank you Darren love looking out your front window as your trucking down the motorways and love, the fact that you give us, some facts as you’re driving about certain things again thank you my friend. Drive safe.💯🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@Life_of_Darren]

Your welcome Thomas, stay safe bud

[@dannyboy340]

Love the vids mate keep it up. I really like the extras of the service station visits and your dinners! Hope the wrap was good 😄

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks Danny, the fully loaded wraps from Nandos are great, definitely worth a try

[@Bikeops2021]

The new road in Hull. It is a new road running alongside the old one, the new one will ease taffic congestion for local traffic. The old one will remain for traffic coming off the docks & will be uninterrupted to travel out to the M62. They have installed a foot bridge for pedestrian traffic to cross the busy dock traffic road. Also, they are building a tunnel underneath for local traffic access. It's been over four years in the making & will be an amazing bit of engineering when it finished next year!

[@Life_of_Darren]

Oh I didn’t know they were building a tunnel too.

[@Bikeops2021]

@@Life_of_DarrenYes the haulage & the ferry traffic was always backed up due to traffics lights & pedestrian crossings eventually backing up & choking the City. It’s quite amazing the construction engineers have been doing all this work without holding traffic flow too much! Nice to see you in Hull…👍

[@ItsRyan.]

Great video mate, Shame you didn't manage to get home that would of been nice for you, Hope you have a lovely weekend mate, Take care

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks, you too mate, if I would have had around 20 minutes more I would have been home no problems too 🙈

[@samf3416]

At @27:50, I first thought you've killed a bird then realized it was part of the tree. The way it was clumped looked like some resemblance of a bird. I hadn't realized that sub counted doubled. Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🎂🎂🎂🎂

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks for all the support mate

[@StephennnR]

Nice video, the M62 looks really nice never been across that before, was that services you stopped for a break Ferrybridge ? I've stopped there once before doing a Doncaster trunk. Pity you never made it home but hopefully home tonight since it's Friday

[@Life_of_Darren]

Yes it was ferry bridge services, good shout

[@matthewgarvey3911]

Shame you didn't make it back home yo be with the family but still great vlog. Have a good weekend mate.

[@Life_of_Darren]

I was around 20minute short too! unfortunately it’s the luck of the draw. Have a great weekend too bud

[@MargaretMckenna-jc1ee]

Really thought you were goingto get home take care good video

[@Life_of_Darren]

Me too! If only I had an extra 15-20 minutes I would have gone for it

[@deanroper2819]

Brilliant video mate i see u stopped at Ferrybridge services off the m62 I live 5 mins from there stay safe pal

[@Life_of_Darren]

Yes it was! It’s a good little service station but little small for parking

[@deanroper2819]

Yeah it's not bad little services to be fair the petrol station Greggs is open 24 hours a day which is good to but yeah it is small for trucks

[@rebeccawade9020]

My home town is Halifax

[@ianhornby8005]

Very easy to watch you have a nice way about you.

[@Life_of_Darren]

thank you

[@chazboyle9456]

darren, what is the best truck to drive with a full load power etc , thanks

[@Life_of_Darren]

Most likely a scania or Volvo for power bud, not sure on model numbers I’m afraid

[@chazboyle9456]

@@Life_of_Darren thanks mate thank god we dont have them variable speed cameras in jockland

[@andyrothwell2649]

Great video Darren and I enjoy your videos 😊 have you ever done or fancied doing the Europe haulage

[@Life_of_Darren]

Not yet but when little man is a little older I wouldn’t mind giving it a go for a while, I wouldn’t like to do long term though

[@tonybrown3853]

Riva foods Hull they do garlic bread picked up from there many years ago many times when I use to work for farmfoods we had to pump truck them on never had loading bay back then 🤣🤣I hope all is well Darren mrs little man 👌👍👍ps Ferrybridge services lol 👌👍👍

[@Life_of_Darren]

@@tonybrown3853 thanks Tony 😃 hope your doing well mate

[@MrRinkly]

If you research the house think you will find, that the ground was not suitable for a motorway.

[@MaceTrucking]

Awesome video as per usual, may I ask what software you use to do the videos mate? As just landed European driving job so starting my own channel 😀

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks bud, I use a GoPro for the recording and for editing I used Adobe Premiere Good luck mate

[@dextergord1161]

If you want a good day out go to the deep really good day you all will love it great video pity you didn’t get home though

[@Life_of_Darren]

Thanks bud I’ll look into it

[@Sammyboy1991]

Why do cars just crawl out like that on a slip road at 12:30. It’s so frustrating. Put your foot down! Also mate, do you watch other truck KZbinrs? Like Luke C in a HGV or Kevtee?

[@Life_of_Darren]

@@Sammyboy1991 i have seen a couple of trucker Jenko and Luke c but struggle too watch too much due to spare time

Bit of a dramatic title?! Obvs it only means the alternative is having to sleep in the cab & get home tomorrow. But I did a double-take at first 😂
