Thanks for this video Lena. You did brilliantly doing that reversing. I live in the United States now (not by choice) but was born in Birmingham so your video today brought back real good memories. You are a very good driver. Believe me, I retired from London Transport thirty years ago and you dealt with the stress of city driving exceptionally well.
Oh wow thank you so much!!! Wait till part two I do get lost there 🙈😖 glad I could bring you back to brum with me. Why did you have to move? Do u like us?
@@LenaTrucker My wife is American and she came to GB to live with me. We met online thirty years ago. After my Mother passed my wife's mother convinced us she was dying. She did after 21yrs. We both tried to come back from USA but with Covid, we can not. I do not dislike the United States but it is basically Corrupt and the ordinary good people get ripped off in the process.

All these great videos on youtube & I always see some dislikes... who are these people that dislike this? what is there to dislike, she's doing an amazing job. I used to drive a lorry in real tough situations, it's hard, Good on her.
Thanks Lena. Your pleasant attitude is lovely to follow and your journey is very entertaining. Thank you for sharing your videos. Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 cheers.
Great to see you back Lena, if only for a day. Did what you are doing 40 yrs ago delivering to Cash and Carry centres all over the U/K and Birmingham doesn't look any better!! and we had no google or sat navs stressful but enjoyed my time on the road, retired now in Qld Australia, watching Trucking videos, mad or what?? keep doing what you are doing, great stuffxxx
Haha thank you so much for watching Colin, yes i think I’d be the same when retire - missing it lol. Ooh i do hope one day the industry would get better…
I am absolutely loving watching your videos.... My friend is Russian, looks like you, she has a wonderful VERY funny personality as well.... You are incredibly likeable Lena seriously. What an amazing personality you have
That was crazy Lena wave you into the unit and go through all the trouble of reversing only for him to say no we'll unload from the road, really waisted your time but suppose good practise reversing and something positive came from that day.
The sat nav you used on your phone, is it google maps? Or is it specially for trucks? Also what is name of the sat nav you used. Please answer or if anyone knows answer please tell me
What I want to know is how do you keep so clean . By the end of day I look like I've been down a coal mine . I thought if I did fridges it would be clean how wrong I was it's worst then curtain siders.
Nice one lena,I used to load at mathews flour mill in 1982 ,had to handball load on to a 10 ton ridgid then rope and sheet up ,then of to deliver to bakerys ,I live in same town as you ,so will keep my eye out for you 👍
lena brilliant job well done.hope you are well.hard work when you have not been driving for a while that's why you were nervous.day after day might be easier for you.which app did you use on your phone for directions very good. Do you use data or whyfi.philip used maps in is baby 7.5 truck.you take care and good luck for the future phil.
Well done, Kings Heath is a tough negotiaion towards birmingham city centre very tight roads even for a main road. Mosley its not to bad so i applaude you.
I did read advertised could be able to get a lot newer truck on a finance option too but it would be what you driving a Renault oh right that's the problem why trucks are on a finance option because poor ride can get rid of them quick enough that's why not as popular on the road as the Mercedes or the Swedish trucks right
Excellent video Lena, your driving is excellent, the way you managed to turn your trailer from your first pick up in the yard, amazing. Can see by your videos, you’re a very safe driver, keep up the good work, well done.
Nice vid class 1 driving all the way, like you I have all the licenses I used to drive the buses but I hated it ever since I been driving class 1 in the past month, I been loving it, the work is easier than class 2
@@LenaTrucker definately plus most of the coaches look nice. I would love to drive a coach but never a bus, ps those national express coach drivers look really happy
Weird question to throw out but I see everyone make a comment about daf trucks being bad and people prefer mercs or Scania. Is that true and why exactly? I'm not a lorry driver so don't understand
@@LenaTrucker thankyou. Since this comment i have watched lots of your videos and contacted a company to work for and been accepted. I still only have a car licence but will start training in a few weeks and will be driving an artic transporting shipping containers. Thanks for being an enthusiastic person and inspiring people to work in the same industry.
lena ... starting to do my lgv tests and for the future what is the thing on your phone shows you weight limits on roads and stuff ... also from Northern Ireland hoping to do cross Channel work 🙏
Nice reversing Lena, If you scared, Leave cabin ang go to see, how close is your truck to the entry. Its difficult, Its nerves, but you do it. I didt milion time - leave the truck-see my back - and revers the truck. You reversed on your hand mirror side , on the opposite mirror side - blind side is more difficult. You will do it. Allways come back home, Good and Healthy.
Hey Lena, great video, and great positive attitude, if only all lorry drivers were like you. I’m a new hgv driver and I was wondering what satnav app you were using in your video? Thank you 😊
Hi Lena another great video everything you take in your stride , and after showing your skills reversing trailer that donkey wanted you to take it out on the road to unload WHAT I would have loved you to leave him alone on top of trailer 😂😂😂

Thank you so much. I use copilot it’s an app on my iPhone where I type in dimensions of the truck. Google maps are good for pinpointing businesses whereas copilot knows about restrictions on the roads 😅
Great vid Lena,don't rely on Google,it's for cars,better off getting a truck sat nav. And if dvsa stop you 9 pallets not strapped is expensive! Stay safe
@@LenaTrucker yeah you definitely pulled it off no probs 👍🏻I started my own small business doing carpet and upholstery cleaning but I do miss trucking and now that the money seems to be getting better I’m thinking about getting back into it but I’ll have to do the cpc again or I would be doing some work now 😬, good luck with your operator’s license I’ll be tuning in to see how you get on :)
I love your always happy attitude , if I was told it's ok to reverse in then told to go back out on the road my response would have been totally different though wish I had your calm attitude rather than mine 👍

My stress levels were through the roof can’t imagine Hgv drivers when u got diversions for diversions ! What do you do when u can’t get to yr dest due to road blocks and u run out hrs ??? Really stressed thinking bout that
Oh yeah that does happen. That’s where boss comes in and explains the situation to the customer. I’d take a break and carry on with delay if needs be. I don’t get stressed though - there’s no point. Stressing about it will not improve the situation at all. Just know at the end of the day you’ll make it safely back and that’s all that matters :))
Greetings from Scotland! You got stressed Lena? I didn't notice you getting stressed, honest! 😳😳 What miserable car lined little streets they were eh? I think you did fine! You're too polite and accommodating some times though, after reversing into that yard where they said they wanted you, and then they said they wanted you back out on the road! I would have said, just unload it here, exactly where you wanted it to be! That was very unreasonable of them and no apologies from them either! Arrrggghhh! 💥 I would have blown a fuse! You always impress me with your immense patience Lena! Catch you in Part 2! 😃

Thank you!
Weird question to throw out but I see everyone make a comment about daf trucks being bad and people prefer mercs or Scania. Is that true and why exactly? I'm not a lorry driver so don't understand

Awesome reversing. Lots of car drivers wouldn’t have made that. 😄 still think they would have been better unloading inside.

Hi new to the channel like your carefree attitude to the job, but for the record pallet loads need to be strapped down on a curtinsider trailer
Thank you 🙈👍🏻

Thank you so much 🙈
That is ridiculously tight on that road great job anyway
Thank you so much

Haha yeah 🤷🏻♀️ god knows what they were thinking lol why try it when I don’t even have room to back it in with all the cars there 🤷🏻♀️
I can’t believe the let you reverse all the way in there then told you to go back out on the road, I think they misjudged you skill level
Haha most probably 😉
