Great views and vid Sherrralin beautiful scenery we are heading down to Malaga in our Motorhome in March might catch sight of you😊 watch out for headlights flashing and arms waving 😅 take care and keep safe 👍
Yet another fantastically interesting video I would have thought from a security angle to have a driver's mate or even your own personal bodyguard for dangerous and crime ridden areas as a matter of importance, Transport companies should take full liability and any incident is one too many.
Although I’ve been to some rough places, I’ve never really had problems. I keep myself to myself, use my manners, smile and walk away. Common sense is a must. 😁
Greetings sherralin.... Once you get back to yard have equipment placed on your doors for a peaceful night sleep... thank you for bringing us along be safe......
Hi Sherralin, you should get an award from tourism Spain and for all the priceless info you pass on. No substitute for skill and experience. Thank you for posting. Take care MARK uk
I always enjoy the POV shots and they were great. I now know why Driver both use a GPS and Google Maps, one of them is always right instead of relying on the GPS. The truck sound nice an quiet compares to others. Your story about parking up outside Barcelona at night, geezers, creepy. Stay safe
I like Ll ghe little fincas and smaol farmsteads along the roads in the rural pzrts of spain . Im glad therres a new road the old road was a nightmare . Hope ur keeping well pls take care drive safe my dear . Loved the views . WhT truck do u have now it seems to pull well up the hills . Pls drive safe . Catch up soon . Xx
Hi good video as always Well done young lady doing what you do as am a truck driver as l have said to you before l could never drive out side the uk like you do never had the balls to do it lol so well done again keep safe Safe driving
Good evening Sherralin. Once again thanks for the ride 😊 You’re such a star 🌟 giving so much helpful information on your travels 👍🏻 If only back in the 80s if we had you life on the road would of been so much easier 🤣 I can remember stopping at fuel stations and looking for a Brit Irish or Dutch 🇳🇱 driver for help and information as well as a good Colin’s map book lol 😝 Take care thanks Stevie xx
@@GBtruckladyI only did Spain a few times,used to run to Germany every week and a mate of mine told me to do the ratchet and strap around the handles too… It’s not right but it’s effective…. Love the channel and safe travels!!!😊
@BarryCurran101 Thanks for watching. To be honest, you’d think the vehicle manufacturers would do more to increase security for drivers when they are sleeping, I know DAF did a “night lock” that was a simple blot system that went from door into the door pillar, again simple but effective. I think it is/was an optional extra. I don’t know of any other companies doing anything.
@@GBtrucklady Yea,it’s not an “option” though is it,our security… Scary,even now,that you don’t feel safe,even with your doors locked… It’s over 20 years since I did Spain and I truly enjoyed it,but mental that not much has changed… Hope you’re staying safe and still enjoying the shit outta what you do,your uploads are very much appreciated and enjoyable!!! All the best from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 👍🤩
Just come across your videos, watch a couple of English truck drivers, but I am enjoying your continental travels, I am a retired English truck driver now living in Australia, long way from Yorkshire, but no snow. Enjoy watching you load and unload and the travel, find something soothing about watching the road LOL must be the diesel in my blood. Love the fact you still drive a lorry not caught the american truck, 83 this year so this is mostly my hobby keep on lorry driving
Scenery is amazing especially so early in the morning. Glad everything was okay at your overnight stop, nothing worse than needing a good nights sleep and having to get your head down and keep one eye open. You should patent the security system, simple but effective.😂😂 Thanks once again for a really interesting video, stay safe.
Hi Sherrralin. Thanks for the superb views and can't wait to go back to Spain in our camping car in March/April. As you say better to be safe than sorry when parked up, we have had similar situations where you don't feel comfortable but luckily we have a malinois cross dog so he looks and sounds the part but is as soft as snow. Be safe out there...........Alan
Thanks for video , like you say Barcelona not good for parking at night , Years ago we used to go back to Tir & custom park & pay as it was a bit safer .
Great vlog again Sherallin , safety is paramount on a night out in any country , I have always strapped my doors locked @ night , safe onward travels xx
Thanks as always for the upload Sherralin. Keeping safe means there is no such thing as over the top . One of the east european guys I work with told me what was essential to keep by the bed and it wouldn't be pleasant for anyone breaking in
Another enjoyable journey. Did worry about your obvious apprehension in parking. Is there a ‘gas alert -alarm’ that can be fitted in the lorry to give an immediate warning of the ‘knock out gas.’ This problem stopped us parking with the caravan on the Peage airs and service areas in France in the 90’s. Glad you stay safe. Thanks for the journey - another catching up for me. Phil - Suffolk U.K.
Hello Cherralin ,when in Rome do as the Romans do. I thought being in Andalusian country you would be wearing one of those incredible hats, a split skirt like slacks, with boots and those big silver roller spurs. Stamp around the country and let the old Scania know who is star of the show. I would like to know, being an onion country, do they make nice pickled onions? Of course they would. What kind? Best wishes, good luck, and above all, please watch your health.
A couple of months ago i climbed one of the peaks south of the airport in Malaga. Don't try in flip-flops. Good view, you can see Gibraltar and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It was noticeable that one are almost 60...
I did the same but used a stainless steel cable with a padlock across the doors and also fitted a small safe for my valuables. If they have to work they give up,
Great as always Sherralin, love to see Spain in the early morning in wintertime, mirror camera working well, you make it look easy reversing in and im sure its not, also how do you find it driving a RHD truck in LHD countries ?
How do i find this sort of work..been doing uk work since 1998...always found im wrong side of uk for any firms..im live at felixstowe suffolk..never done european work, fancied doing it few times,but then never done anything bout it..looks amazing work..
You could try some of the Dutch companies, they ship that direction, although I don’t know how it works after Brexit. Otherwise it’s just a case of keep applying I’m afraid.
Hi Sherralin another great video, I always use that Toll road a lot going from Cordoba to Malaga Airport come off after Churriana tunnel. Could you please explain Sunday Frigo rules in France, is it only certain temperatures between set points, ie does it inlude -20-25 (frozen) or not ? thanks.
As far as I’m aware, in most European countries, vehicles carrying perishable goods, live animals, plants and air cargo can move on Sunday & bank holidays. Frozen goods and long life goods - such as long life milk, tinned or pickled good are not permitted. There are other exceptions but this is the general rule.
I’ve driven both. It’s much easier driving a right hand drive in Europe than it is driving a left hand drive in UK because of the way our roads are laid out. 😁
Great video Sherralin, I really look forward to your vlogs. Top marks for your cab security probably better than what you used on the Daf. It’s just a shame that undesirable characters makes overnight stays so worrying. I thought the Volvo cab was fitted with a strong box to store valuables. If not maybe worth having a word with the boss to get one fitted, could even possibly get some reduction on the insurance premiums demonstrating proactive measures against such theft.
Great trip, can be a bit frustrating when you know what you can do with short wheel base tractor and you arrive for your drop or collection with long wheel unit and someone makes the comment, the last driver put trailer on first time 😊
No. Even if you are on a UK passport you do not until you leave Europe again, such as returning to UK or entering Turkey, Europe is classed as one place. My passport is Irish.
used to be better before AP7 on old A7 all the wy to cadiz plus i bought a villa in almeria in 2004 for 140.000 euros with fruit trees and pool was a good price at the time as im british i am also a resident of spain so i do not pay entry fee
That’s the difference with Europe & uk you wouldn’t get many places unloading someone else’s pallets,in the uk all you’d get is “tough that’s your problem”
I am not telling you where you are going wrong but I seem to remember a driver was knifed some time ago. Your employer is obligated to have you work in a safe environment. You should go to the Transport Workers Union with this problem before something very serious happens[ maybe to you]. All British truck owners should pay into a fund to a Security Co. to make sure trucks flying the English flag are left alone. No questions asked. They can do it. Onions in Spain, coffee in Brazil. Everybody has something we need.
Gassing has been going on years my freind and his wife and kids got gassed in there camper van in marseilles the side door was removed took clean off and everything was gone . they took all phones lap top and the stereo and cash .And they didnt know the name off the services they were in .
Lovely video as always. Not many jobs where you have to lock yourself in for security😮 disgusting when you think about it. The human race has a lot to answer for really. Stay safe out there 😊
As a matter of truck safety there should be special tamper proof extra strong locks as a minimum in rough areas where there is crime where truckers are required to sleep GPS alarms CCTV cameras to alert the Police , air horn alarms and flood lighting may be also a deterrent I used to be the CEO of a security company so I know all this is possible . Where trucks are not fitted then it is possible for mobile security to be fitted and any cost is Income tax deductable and it can be sold on should you leave the profession What do you think please leave a comment .
I do think security should be better as standard on lorries. I’m sure, aftermarket systems are available but most drivers do not own their vehicles so these systems would be down to the companies, most would put profit first. I do think there should be more secure parking facilities available, no good just putting cameras up if no one is monitoring them but again it’s down to cost v profit. 😁
hiya your really treating us having these regular videos, as always drive safe and keep well, you must have a retarder for the long down hills ? all the best
I watch so many videos of driving now, I stopped in 2001, it's changed so much, I'd be lost looking for my old parking places, in Spain, I'd definitely mess up the Mont Blanc tunnel, I'd be asking for advice when I used to give it. I doubled up with this lady often, many watching will probably remember her, Diesel Kate. ua-cam.com/video/7381YO5C_Xo/v-deo.htmlsi=OMLiH2iw19Lz6jXR
Was in Ross truck stop yesterday Pencraig cafe today a lot better food lol ope u r fit and well got new cg daf on demo it’s a waist not a touch on my 540 fh it doesn’t like hills
Give me a midlift any day lot better through corners handles and brakes a lot better tag horrid does in wet horrid ride. And 4 wheel unit always worried about axle weighrs
Blimey, nobody should have to contemplate going to bed wearing a gas mask. I draw the line at a snore guard! Another enjoyable watch. Thank you

Where in Australia are you? I’m coming over to visit my sister in March.

The noice you hear maybe the lorry warning system, Transformer in Disguise! It has a mind of its own 😂😂

The best onions are British, far more flavour. #backbritishfarmers
If you feed the hook through the webbing where the other hook is and do the same with the 2nd hook it makes the connection stronger..
Thanks for the tip 😁

I’ve driven both.
It’s much easier driving a right hand drive in Europe than it is driving a left hand drive in UK because of the way our roads are laid out. 😁
You should always wrap yourself in the one true creators divine white light and you will be safe

Great trip, can be a bit frustrating when you know what you can do with short wheel base tractor and you arrive for your drop or collection with long wheel unit and someone makes the comment, the last driver put trailer on first time 😊
😂😂😂 very true.
Strapping the doors, I used to do the same in my motorhome, using two krooklocks.
That’ll work 😁👍🏻
Do you needs to stamp your passport everytime you go to new country around Europe? And on the way back in Britain?
No. Even if you are on a UK passport you do not until you leave Europe again, such as returning to UK or entering Turkey, Europe is classed as one place. My passport is Irish.
hello, too bad the subtitles are not available. look forward to the next vidéo.

great vlog as per normal its a shame in this modern day and age you have to worry about your security in a truck stop.................
Thank you. Sign of the times unfortunately.
A friend of mine told me that a lot of U.S. cowboy western films were shot in Spain! You can see why if that was truly the case!
I believe so. Also, North Africa has a big location industry. 😁

Span straps door to door, and scissors incase you need out quick. And you're just saying it 😂

Orange jam/marmalade is yummy 😋

hiya your really treating us having these regular videos, as always drive safe and keep well, you must have a retarder for the long down hills ? all the best
Yes, an essential bit of equipment for the long hills. 😁👍🏻
All you need is the photo of an S@W on each window.
Sorry don’t know what that is? 🤔
I watch so many videos of driving now, I stopped in 2001, it's changed so much, I'd be lost looking for my old parking places, in Spain, I'd definitely mess up the Mont Blanc tunnel, I'd be asking for advice when I used to give it. I doubled up with this lady often, many watching will probably remember her, Diesel Kate.

Yes Kate was a good friend of mine. So sad to hear of her passing, she was a great example to all. 😥🙏
@GBtrucklady she got very ill last year and spent some time in hospital, last time is spoke to her was on May 21st, very sad.
I do hope you are not affect by the French farmers demonstrations which are going on at the moment. Sounds a bit of a nightmare.
It was a nightmare getting through France, lots of D roads 😂😂
Beautiful? 🤣🤣 The place is a desert.
Only to some. 😎
@@GBtrucklady Deserts can be attractive, you have a point.
Was in Ross truck stop yesterday Pencraig cafe today a lot better food lol ope u r fit and well got new cg daf on demo it’s a waist not a touch on my 540 fh it doesn’t like hills
I must admit, I don’t like DAF.
Give me a midlift any day lot better through corners handles and brakes a lot better tag horrid does in wet horrid ride. And 4 wheel unit always worried about axle weighrs
I’m not a fan of mid lift but I guess they suit some jobs.
When loading a 4x2 it just takes a bit of thinking. 😀👍🏻
I find the tags are a bit unstable empty on country type roads
