- Croydon made easy...... or is it?
Im a new Class 1 HGV driver and this was my very 1st "BIG" reverse.
This video is for people that may consider to become a HGV driver or for new class 1 drivers...like myself. I'm also learning ...on the go!

About me:
I'm a brand new Class 1 driver that actually like driving trucks and being on the road. As you noticed i got a "strong" South African accent but been living in the UK for more than 16 years. The reason why I make these videos, I was once in your shoes where UA-cam was my wealth of HGV knowledge and I would like to contribute.

Well done mate, Only new class1 drivers understand.
It was scary back then...... thx for the support
Banksman rear view camera you have the luxury of them I don't I get out alot to check...keep up the good work lad
That mate was mind-blowing. Just beginning my HGV journey, (training) and watching you was really inspirational. Now a subscriber!
as a retired HGV driver that was spot on fella well done
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Big respect Zak! Just completed my first day on reverse and coupling and uncoupling. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All the best...... its all fun and games there after and all the best with the test! Keep me posted
good job! personally i would've been looking to reverse in and drive out considering there was plenty of room on the road for that manoeuvre and i always like to know my exit i also believe backing out onto the highway is also illegal
yeh i would av backed in aswell
They told me im not allowed to reverse in as i wont be able to make the turn from the main road and its company policy
That was a superb really long, narrow (and that's the really unforgiving part), reverse. How you kept a cool head is inspirational.
i was there so many times with my arctic.....i never went all the way down at that yard,just right near their office do one side than move over so they can do the other. Much easier that way but well done you sir.
Good job mate. Been in there 3 times this week
@@stevemurton5017 for my 1st time in reversing it was hard.... but know ill say its easier. Welldone to you!
EBS eh? Guess Sam the Man is Truck it Prayle haha. Well done on the reverse. Looks like my personal nightmare and you made it look easy
Thats correct..... me and mr prayle are mates lol.....thx mate!
Well done mate, from 1 new pass (last sept) to another! You did exceptionally well there!!
Thx Kieran and congrats!
Unbelievable skills mate. Just got my 1st class 1 job and I'm S shaping all over the place. That's some serious tekkers
Well thank you, that was my 1st week behind the wheel. Just remember..... you have to start somewhere and thus you learn on the go! Hard part was getting the licence.... now its a learn as you go
@@BigWheelZak really???!??! You did a dlgreat job. Taking a pay cut to do this from class 2 but youdid an absolutely great manoeuvre. Well done
i was with you all the way .....i am impressed i need a lie down after watching that i hope they never send me to yards like that ...that was pain ..got to be one of the worst ....
Reminds me of my 2nd day as class 1 driver, avoiding a low bridge with no pre warning signs ending up up an industrial estate, nowhere to turn around, parked cars everywhere, had to reverse back similar distance 😢😢, nightmare,😂well done mate,I managed it aswell JUST 😂
@@andrewjohnson582 if you try and succeed with no damage.... legend

Yes it was! You should see the desert!
Skills👏👏🔥🔥
Cheers mate, so many other bad @55 truckers out there!

You will do fine...... get to know the truck and you be a rock & roll star
New Subscriber you just past the real reversing test, weldone.
What an AH of a yard! you did well with not a hint of frustration. I bet thyey send you there again.
You smashed it mate.. top effort! I'm thinking of going into driving and this is the one thing that scares the crap out of me haha
You can do it! Its not that bad till you actually doing it.

some A* reversing there mate lol nice one 💪
Thx Ricky...... it did struck a nerve 😄
That gave me anxiety just watching. I don’t like reversing on to a bay, sod doing that! 😂
That was in my early days of trucking.... it was mad but i did that! I do feel quite chuff over that day. Thx for watching my content ;)
Awesome
i would have reversed in to be honest. nice and slow no rush
What was your favourite movie you was thinking about whilst reversing?
Debbie does Dallas! lol
I feel your pain
Anxiety levels peaked 1-100 in 2seconds 😬 got my theory and CPC end of this month…
Well it gets worst....... 🤣
All the best with theory and CPC 😉
What a fuckin game !
Well done lad, as my dad would say "That was as tight as a fishes earhole !" 🤣
I've recently passed my test, and only been out once by myself in a month with hardly any training.
It's not easy at all, especially when you can't see anything on the blind side !! 😳
Welcome to the bigboys club...... that was one of my very 1st reverses. Hectic that was
Top man, keep it going and take it steady ✊
Next time, park on the road, call the destination, tell them to meet you at the entrance and back you in, then you can just drive out
Not allowed.... must drive in and reverse out. Yard rules..... the issue is the yard is unorganised
I would do like that ...if they're no happy cancel delivery...If something happens they blame the driver anyway...Its my license and I would make decisions how to get in to reduce potential damage etc ...not them...few drivers cancelled deliveries in our yard aswell without any hassle
Very well done. Today I bought a revision book for the theory test. After watching this I'm bricking it about becoming a HGV driver.
Lol, that was my very 1st "big reverse" most of the time its easy and it will become easier. You will be fine. All the best and thx for the like
The most inconsiderate builders yard I've ever seen, just another foot wider would be ample, 👏
Seriously how can anyone make sense with you putting street view on your mobile
Yeaaaa i knew its not gonna work but still gave it ago..... 🙂
oh and switch of camera as its distracting you too much
Its all a learning curve for me but thx i will make some adjustments next time
No dont just be your self dont care about what people say if its hate
Switch off the camera.. yeah that would make good content 🙄😂
