  • Due to a last minute call I decided to go look at a new trailer for the business, Under growing pressure to push the work and adapt to changing conditions, And deciding if its right for the business and how can we afford it.
    And attending LM transport charity truck & tractor run to raise money for children charity. Showing just how good and strong are industries is. And raising over £12.000 ❤️
    Remember everything you see is real and not staged for content, If I make the right or wrong decision, It falls to me.
    Anything you see me wearing like my Snap back hat or my Hoodie it available on my website and I appreciate everyone who buys.

    Brian at DM Finance here. Sandy has been offered paid partnerships from reputable Finance Brokerages across the UK. Yet he’s decided to stick with me and was not even aware of him doing any features of DM Finance on this video. This is the type of person Sandy is…friends before money.
    No paid partnerships here….or not that I’m aware of yet! 😂

    This is the most relateable trucking channel to me, i drive artic tippers and diggers in rural ireland, so i have no interest in box bodies delivering to tesco on a motorway... i like when trucks are worked hard by skilled drivers on bad roads

    That’s what you do. Keep fighting and grind it out. I’ve managed to go from 1 truck to 13 in 8 years. Plenty of big risks taken, plenty of sleepless nights but worth it at the end. £300 a month won’t cause an issue💪

    Hi sandy it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 I'm just letting you know that i appreciate everything that you are doing with your own truck business and trailers. Sell that trailer and get the trailer that you really want as long as the work is there for the newer trailer and that will help to pay the finance off. I would probably go for the monthly payments of £300 a month if that's what you are thinking of doing that could be the better option really, and have a good cash flow instead. And your UA-cam videos are very real life UA-cam videos and that is very much appreciated from me mark 👍👍 and I've not long subscribed to your UA-cam channel from about 4 or 5 days ago and i appreciate everything that you are doing for yourself and your truck business, and all of your subscribers are all here for you. Even though I've seen your UA-cam videos from way back and i really really enjoyed watching them, but I'm new to your UA-cam channel now and I've subscribed to your UA-cam channel 4 or 5 days ago and you have got yourself a new member to your UA-cam subscription channel now me mark 👍. And your UA-cam videos are very very very real life videos and i respect you for that because of you and your truck business. And get that trailer that you want and pay the £300 a month on a longer term and keep the cash flow going. Keep up the great work and keep your UA-cam videos coming out aswell 👍 and have a great Christmas and New year in 2024 and all of your friends and UA-cam subscribers are here for you aswell 👍👍 thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍
