Would have it been easier to take the Mercedes out to Italy and left the Daf in the UK to get sorted out

[@lukedrive2869]

Great video David. You show all the aspects of haulage and it shows the younger folk how it all works. I’m an ex driver and would have found this video very helpful. Drive safe and good health.

[@bezza70]

Love ya vlogs mate always look forward for another one to come out awesome job keep doing what you are doing mate 👌

[@TrevorWilliamson-bo1ug]

To be honest I can never really work out why I enjoy watching trucking VLOGS, especially as I still drive myself (Non European), but I do !! Yours are generally more informative which can make them more interesting, additionally you're an owner operator which brings a different slant. Having driven many routes in Europe towing the old holiday 'wobble box' I see many sights which are familiar but just watching tarmac and trees does get boring. Your idea of a daily VLOG is one worth giving a go as it cuts down on how long viewers sit it front of a screen, could be good or bad, each to their own ( someone who is less mobile may love longer vids and viewing the tarmac). Whatever if people want to watch, they will. Take it easy there's snow en route.

[@pt6423]

Nice to see Eurotunnel from a truckers point of view. As a car driver we never get to see these parts.

[@petersmith2325]

Keep doing what you do David. Excellent vlogs.😁👍

[@iKamikahzi]

Hiya mate, This video was in my recommendations, and I've really enjoyed it!! I've known about the train and stuff but have never seen anyone go through the process. So, it was really interesting/fascinating to see. Love what you said about manners, much respect. You take care, mate, and have a fantastic weekend!! 😁👍

[@fwe1612]

Love your vlogs love to hear you interact with the French the look on there face when they realise you are fluent.more roads it’s not boring to old couches and we hope you do well in the future.

[@landroverlandyman]

This has to be your best vlog to date. 👍

[@markaitch]

Very interesting. I’ve driven through the tunnel in a car and also when sat on a coach and always feel a sense of adventure when passing through border crossings, ferry / tunnel terminals. Enjoyed and subscribed. 👍

[@dennyunderwood3772]

Hi David, brilliant vlog keeps everyone interested, as a old timer it’s great to see the places I can relate to, it never gets boring as it was part of my life for many years like most of us old boys I would struggle with all the legislation !! Why is it always the truckers fault, the cyclists and the trucker, the car and the trucker, the public and the trucker and of course the ministry police and do gooders !!! Keep up the great work and wish you well for the future boy 👍😎

[@kenshaw6985]

daily vlogs for the win, your tips and useful info is well explained keep up the great work

[@OhLaLaShopLtd]

As a retired European driver it’s great to see your vlogs and remember the good old days. Keep up the videos really looking forward to the daily’s

[@TRUCKINGKEV65]

[@richardstather6326]

Another excellent vlog David, keep up the good work 👍

[@stephenhayward6445]

Don't drive a truck but thoroughly enjoy your vlogs because we've driven and drive them road's in our motorhome so regonise lots of your route's, you also make the truck hours etc interesting for a non trucker like me, keep them coming 👍.

[@01suya]

[@williamfence566]

Fluent foreign speaker and polite to officials !!. You're destroying the stereotype. Daily vlogs would be great thanks

[@michaelcoombes5472]

[@johnshaw8013]

Get it fixed in Europe, and book an MOT in the UK for on your way home, you are allowed to drive without MOT to a place of test or repair!

[@rdtruckinguk8532]

Great video mate. I used to run to Paris and Lille for UPS, and occasionally Belgium. Really enjoyed those trips, and would have been happy to have done European work all the time if I was younger, single and no kids! Never did cross the channel on the boats I only used the tunnel with the trucks, Calais terminal hasn’t changed much since Brexit.

[@Jackson183]

Great video. I find it daunting going to the port and new places but this shows how to do it

[@martindavies3653]

I love all you’re videos and I love the CB talk that I found it interest when you you talk about it on one of the videos that you did

[@brianbrown8845]

Hi David, just came across your channel, some great videos for me to watch, as a visually impaired person i'm unable to drive a car let alone a truck so i find your vblogs very interesting and informative, like going through the tunnel as a driver with your camera, keep the vblogs coming, stay safe and well.

[@thomasgarwell8214]

Just new to your vlog David. I'm also happy with a daily vlog. Justtruckin of the USA, who is also self employed in South Carolina, does them daily (funnily enough, he's also having problems with getting jobs, very few and far between). I would prefer watching out the window. I love looking at the road. Although I've never been a truck driver, I have been on holiday with my lovely hubby (I was his wife), and he sadly died 3 years ago, and I keep his name in memory. Our first trip was in the 1980s, when we visited Celle and the area around there where he was in the army, and also based at Belsen (famous for the concentration camp); and we drove via Antwerp and Arnhem and the across the border into Germany

[@TheDarrenc1973]

Loving the daily dude.... appreciate you probably think it's boring but for many of us it's a new experience.... don't forget to put an outtro at the end of your video to make sure you get the likes

[@davidshort6537]

Manners cost nothing and you gain respect...great attitude to have...Great job

[@markjones1193]

Top vlog buddy really enjoy them keep up the good fight

[@jonathantrotter8544]

We use the Canadian/US style customs forms with barcodes. Good quick system. When I was over there it took no time at all crossing border.

[@johnmilton2912]

Really enjoy this explains a lot to me I ask my son in law who drives for Waitrose about all the different issues you have happy trucking and good French as well 😊

[@bobstringer9607]

[@medler2110]

You should be able to get more now you've done the first, I've been doing it for 20 years, now turning work down as far too much.

[@dannycrooks8462]

I just enjoy the views of the roads you don't have to show something different each time

[@HBJFishing]

A video with Italy in it would’ve been great!

[@guy4469]

David i took my 2 step daughters to Burgos no problem leaving at dover ,they slept on the bunk i slept on the seats and we swapped ,not a problem ,but trying to get home at Calais 18 hours in a porta cabin trying to explain why i have too girls with me with different names in my wifes maiden name ,big problem .

[@peterjackson-bc1ob]

Hello David, good idea doing a short daily. Have you watched "Trucker Josh" in Canada? He has done a daily for years.
I watch him every evening. Hope you make the PG9 deadline
Keep up the good work. Regards PJ in Ponthir

[@davidgriffiths4457]

Your right. Speaking French and being polite gets you much further. But it's so different from my days of Haz tanking across the EU.

[@johnshaw8013]

@35:00 Tramlines, my 7.5t Atego used to suffer badly from Tramlines as its track was slightly narrower than a class 1 so would bounce from left to right..

[@jimboy124]

Wow .. The train has changed on the french side so much since when I first doing it in 2003 ... It was Rapid service passes and very little agro! I doff my cap at you speaking French mate .. I dabble with German and like you say ..Just to be polite and trying to sound like the language helps so much.. Love your vlogs mate .. I watch them all .. Good luk with your wedding ... If your photographer lets you down ...i am on standby as spoke about on the #Cbtalk app .. Regards .. Jim .. aka Red Rabbit ...

Keep them coming...anything you film its good..better than nothing

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

David, will you stop fretting about vlog content! You are a very engaging and extremely informative. Even a simple (?) delay into a loading bay a few vlogs ago was explained; with diiplomacy, but I personally found interesting. A daily vlog; I say no, only because the extra pressure. Look after your family & self matey!

[@barneyrubble8849]

Great Vlog, twice weekly Vlogs would be better than daily. Would you be able to Tacho mode switch when you travelling by train.

[@bluelinephotography9711]

Loving these, Hope the daily vlogs happen!

[@petershaw9155]

Another fantastic vlog David. I love your honesty. I wish you all the best with DCE. Oh and where did you learn to speak such excellent French? 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@williamgilchrist7113]

Thank you my frist complete blog with you a great experience.

[@bertiethomas960]

Hi David, in my opinion 2 vlogs in a week is plenty......by the time you get your day finished the last thing you want to do is edit and upload video clips for us and then try to get sleep or maybe waiste your weekend editing 5 vlogs....im an X trucker and i love to watch vlogs but as a driver im sure theres a lot more things you want/could do with your time off other than sitting down to watch your wek all over again......keep at the vlogs and i think you're doing a great job....cheers

Hi mate. Very interesting vlog TBH. Trucking game is never easy, I know it from experience. So being good to people does help, I fully agree. Just out of curosity, where did you learn to speak fluent French? Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland.

[@southstandblue3231]

Love the vids. From a fellow blue. And know nothing about trucking tbh.
Btw, where’s the Rochdale accent go when you’re speaking French?.. 😂.

So train is 2 hour wait and boat is 5 hour wait. Besides the wait... Is one of the both choices a faster crossing? (I would imagine that the train is quicker to cross ??)
