Excellent photojournalism...
Nobody commentedq about the driver, in the first few seconds,having a whiz in the longrass...
One of our drivers got gased while we, 5 of us, parked up 1 night at the svcs b4 Lux, on way to Swiss. I used to drive for Demtrans (A Team 2000) in Stockport, that was bk in late 90s 👍👍👍
I like the way you do your videos now very good infro and I like the road footage since I live in the US
Can you make a video about how - you find life on the road travelling through Europe.?
Why you decided you wanted to drive lorries?
What you think companies should do to sort the shortage of drivers.?
What do you think life on the road has to offer for people, how is it different from all the other jobs, what you love about it?
Do you prefer driving in the UK or Europe?
How will brexit effect lorry drivers, and does it worry you?
I drive the same truck and thought it was only me who couldn’t drive without the blind over the sunroof !
Just a point Pete,good thing you do Europe all the time,can you imagine a Vosa Robot pulling you in with all them toll boxes in your windscreen,,,,,,,he'd think it was Christmas lol,,,,,keep them coming .
Have to say, I'm absolutely delighted you are back making videos, ned Kelly put me wide onto your videos and I was disappointed when you stopped for a while, thumbs up from me and I will eventually get my licence just too expensive at the moment and no time either... keep her lit and between the ditches...:)
Great to see your back making video love them 👍🏻 could you do a video around your air suspension, what you do dropping and picking up a trailer etc etc
Great video Mate, just like having a chat with a fellow trucker, just not the type you find at RDC waiting rooms, I hasten to add. Got to say that I've never got on with the Pelmets in the window, but not having the pleats right on the curtains will cause me to pull over and re stow them.
Good to see you back. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Hi Peter love your videos , just gave back my Austria box, cos it's all covered by my Germany box. My question is how do you get the pleats always perfect in the curtains,,?,😂
Great to see you back! Topic suggestion for a video: bans on weekends in lorries, what are your thoughts and opinions about that? Good luck with everything!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 keep them rolling first class 👍👍👍
I am a non truck driver, I am trying to get into it but the test are so expensive and the apprenticeship want you to work in a warehouse for 6 months which sod that.
I thought on your last video you give up Europe which thank God you have not.
You are one of the 2 UA-camrs I like watching and ned kelly you are a genuinely a nice bloke typical northerner and you ain't weird like that tosser Luke Vernon.
Keep up the good vids and hopefully I get my test done and work together as i am a lancashire lad.
Mike Kelsall to be fair, Mr anonymous is a complete tosser. 🤫
Good to see, your back; reminding me of: Luke (and Bertie) and; Ned's (and Moe) time. Watching Jason Walton and CJAcey videos - had to control it. Just a question: Is it now, that logistic companies can book, you European countries' destinations in advance: through specialized software; without having to stop and get a box? Good to see you and, must checkout your facebook page! Take Care and drive safety.
Another great video Pete thanks
Hiya M8, great video as I'm NOT a lorry driver and it is very interesting to see inside the cab, please could you do a video of the drivers area, all the switches and controls that surround make me think of a space craft not a lorry so a tour round would be very interesting. Also how about a video showing us how you reverse, change gears as you drive, so I can see whats involved, brilliant anyway M8 thanx
i got stranded in dresden...sorry about our belgian toll boxes my friend,they are a disaster!!! how about your door locks of the volvo?i really like the nightlock system of daf!
just for laughs ... Let's hear about the trailer suspension box ... 😂
What a sad sad world that we live in when a gas detector has to be fitted to a truck, please don’t think I’m stupid in saying that but I think it’s absolutely shocking that people will stoop that low to get stuff from your truck. Once again another great video, send some of that heat to Scotland, it’s back to wet and cold weather again, I just love your videos.
Kind regards
Johnny
Johnny Rogerson yup
great to see you filming again pete,your getting around with your job now,just wondering would you have fancied the middle east run if it could still be done.safe travels mate.
Great to see your video. I used to help my father and do coach driving across Europe. Always wondered why we had all the "go" boxes for Austria etc and paid the taxes in Germany but foreign drivers used to not pay anything for driving on our roads. Has that changed now?
Love the vids mate, really informative. Would like to see a video on getting started out driving the euro runs. I am getting back on the road and I want to venture onto the continent if I can get in with a firm
Superb!!!!
Just keep making videos and telling stories....
It's aaaaaaall good sir!!!!!😁
I'm not a trucker, just enjoy watching your trips and seeing parts of Europe that I probably won't see.
Which country has the highest standard of driving and which has the lowest?
What would be your best advice to a brit who is thinking about taking the plunge and driving in Europe?
Hi Pete nice to see ur back I'm not a hgv driver I love watching ur videos how's it ur driving a left hand drive keep up the great work
How much freedom do you have in route planning? Do firms like you to stay off the toll roads where possible? Or do you receive a bonus for being inventive and saving the company money? At PTM you seemed to avoid toll roads a fair bit.
You always produce good vids mate, keep them coming!
As a non truck driver myself I very much like your vids, there very honest , what’s you view on Night time or day time Security when your asleep do you feel safe in your truck cheers
Great vid , Pete.
Hi. Thanks for another great video, very informative for us non truck drivers. Risking a rant would like to hear your views on the need for gas detectors, also are these suitable /affordable for motorhomes/caravans.
Can you speak any other languages? Great vids 👍🏼
Hi Pete, I've been enjoying your videos for a few years now, glad your back. Quick question, I'm a class 2 driver & was just wondering if any of the UK companies run class 2's in Europe? Cheers John.
Here’s a question Peter. If you could look back on life to when you were 16 and your tutor said what do you want to do to earn your crust what would it have been ? A Trucker ?
CBR of course.. I’ve never wanted to do anything else.. my dad was a driver and my grandad.. always wanted to drive trucks and always wanted to drive in Europe which is something my dad never did
Great to have you back great video
quality as per ....enjoy
Top class video as always Pete. Great to see you back making them again. What type of work are you doing across the continent now ?
Can't say mate
Gas detector. That is crazy and I am very sorry to hear that this is happening anywhere. In what county or countries is gas asphyxiation more of a concern?
a driving ban on a Thursday whats all that about Pete, I thought all the driving bans were on a Sunday.
you said you are restricted on what you can video, not touching the camera I presume. if that's the case a 360deg camera could be the way foreword if not to expensive. Can't wait for the next great vlog
Roger Lanchbury sundays and public holidays are all bans mate..
Always good when you post peter......how many weeks are you away on average and drive safe.....
Awesome videos Pete clad to see your back at it. I mainly watch your vids and another guys which in my opinion are probably the best showing how euro works is done plus brings back floods of memories of my time doing the similar work before emigrating to Perth Australia in 2002. I drive road trains (well pull) here in Oz and just about to have a go doing vids & editing etc any advice on do’s & don’ts once again keep the vids coming. Know your not with them now but remember PTM well as I’m from southern uk
The best advice i ever got about making videos was be youself and talk about what you know.. dobt try to play a part or act how you think others want you to act.
Now Pete...where and how have you attached the pelmet in the Volvo? I’ve just got one and I’m a bit perplexed 😮😮
Hi there, I've just recently subscribed to your channel and love the videos. I'm currently training for my Cat C at the moment and sitting my test on May 10th, I just wanted to ask what sat nav you use or recommend, any info would be much appreciated.
I always used Tom Tom. Be very very careful and never ever just blindly follow it. Use all available information, Google the company you're looking for and use satellite and street view to plan your route and even get a look at the place you're trying to find.
passed your old Volvo today S100 PTM on the M4 looking very shiny, as your cab is so clean do you actually do any cab cooking?
Non trucker here but love your videos 👍🏻 silly question, why are you now in a LHD truck and is it UK registered ??
Do you prefer driving LHD or RHD truck abroad? What’s it like when you return to UK? Guess if you spend most time abroad it’s much better having LHD
Karl Denton much prefer LHD trucks.. can be a little strange when i get in my car but after a few minutes i get used to it again
If only they had one toll box called the EU Box. :-(
Nice to see you making videos again shame you had the lazy trucker having a pee in shot
Stuart Salmon part of Trucking life mate. My videos are warts and all
Very true
Hi Pete When's the next video ...pal ....its been a long time since the last ...
Be a few months yet but hopefully things will be changing
Topman
Hello Peter,as ex driver myself,I've enjoyed watching your videos,especially the controversial one for the non BS way you portray our industry.I started in 1974,did ME East and West Europe until 2010 and saw the many changes,good and bad in our industry.2questions,with all the "go boxes" you have to carry,do you have to recharge them in countries of origin,as we had to or are they topped up on line by the company?2nd question,the big one,how do you see the international haulage job after 2019 Brexit.Many thanks,safe driving.Paul Martin
Who are you working for now ?
I’m 17 at the minute and I really want to get into European lorry driving. My dad does it himself he goes down to Spain and Portugal just wondering if you can give me any advice for when I’m old enough to do it
Billy Best
Stay in school and get a job that pays much more for doing a lot less hours! I think most of us truck drivers would give that advice
edward norris I'm currently learning brick laying in college but that's something to fall back on if for some reason I can't drive then I have that. I've wanted to be a truck driver since I was 5. I'm obsessed with trucks and I want to get into European haulage
edward norris that’s what I want. I’ve always wanted to be behind the wheel of a truck
hiya pete , a question for you and everybody realy . i am trying to get back driving after a long 8 years due to resession , but , having a very had time getting anything even on agencys .. any tips or ideas ??? cheers >>>
kiv kiv Dixon in rugby was looking for drivers a few weeks ago, if that's any help..
cheers but am in yorkshire ..
Great video again Pete how about a video on drivers hours because in my opinion just when you think you know it all or most of it there's always someone who says different lol.
So you been driving UK and Europe for years whats your take on it ???
The problem with a drivers hours vid is that loads of people will say I'm wrong and argue about it
Hi Pete what make is the gas detector?
Peter Tait waeco
Anonymous European Driver cheers Pete
Would you recommend eu tramping work to anyone? If so what's the pay like
Jack Bowen watch the italy mont blanc video i posted a few weeks ago mate
My mind is thinking up the most pointless, sarcastic question right now.. 🤔😂
TheTomboy26 well as far as pointless goes this one is pretty good already 🤣
Anonymous European Driver I’ve got one!
How many cats eyes are there between Trafford park and killingholme docks? 😂
TheTomboy26 i can laugh now mate but there was a time when i wouldnt have seen the funny side of that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll count them for you today if you're really interested... 🙈
