HGV Adventure: From Manchester to Scotland - Collecting the Unknown and Delivering Against Time!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2023
- Hop aboard as I take you on an exhilarating journey in my HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) from Manchester to Scotland! The excitement unfolds as I set out on a quest, starting at a train rail yard, where I collect an intriguing item of unknown significance. Witness the ease with which I handle the collection process before returning to my yard.
But that's just the beginning! After enduring several hours of anticipation, I finally come across another trailer, signaling the start of a multi-drop run to Scotland. With a convoy of wheelbarrows by my side, we venture into the stunning Scottish landscapes, encountering breathtaking sights along the way.
However, even in this picturesque setting, mistakes can happen. Follow my journey as I inadvertently deliver goods to the wrong location. The race against time intensifies as I desperately strive to correct my error and fulfill my last, crucial delivery. The pressure mounts, and the stress is palpable, but my determination keeps me going.
Buckle up for a thrilling video that showcases not only the challenges of HGV driving but also the joy of conquering obstacles. Experience the rush of adrenaline as I navigate through unforeseen twists and turns, and ultimately triumph against all odds.
As a long retired trucker I really enjoy your videos.
they bring back all the joys of life on the road but also all the frustrations and stress which just about convince me I'm glad to be retired!
Multi drop is a pain, I used to do multi drop in Europe, tramping around, mainly with my Renault Magnum , manual transmission, Reefer trailer. No GPS , just maps and no mobile phones, just bliss.
Old school trucking with just maps and ask locals for directions, using satnavs makes life really easy these days don’t it
Jay, you deal with the stress in a great way, another great video.
12 drops on an artic!!! Credit where it’s due 🙏👍
Great video thanks Jay Sean from Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
Many thanks Jay, the white Bull Nose truck, think I have seen her on the canal boat vids I watch. Love that stretch of water you showed us. Take care.
Finally got to meet Jenko on Sunday despite knowing him for 5 years and him living just 3 miles away from me, what a great bloke, I also met Nessa too what. Lovely lady, Was a great morning was well worth the drive up to Llandovery. My Staffy and Nessa got on like house on fire lol.
Another great video Jay. Thank you for sharing
Another great video mate. Saw you on Wednesday in Gateshead passing team valley trading estate stuck in them lovely road works. Give u flash n wave but you not see me. Looking forward to next one mate.
Brilliant loved the visit to Manchester Train care Centre , my company use to clean the Virgin Trains there about 25 years ago brought back some memories
HI Jay, you were following the guy from ''Mainline''. . . that company was the love child of a guy named Ron Atkin, who sadly passed away last year . . Put his life into building the company. . Take care .
Great vid mate keep it up
Excellent video yet again mate look forward to next one. Let's go donkey!
You were lucky there jay ,those train power lines could have been a "shocking" experience 😂😂😂😂
Great video Jay. Keep up he good work

Never the driver's fault Jay great video
8:50 there are few difficult places where I deliver and need to reverse from busy street. Always makes my day when somebody around says well done or something
I guess you were told to put your Hi viz on (12:50-13:15 ) 🤣. Used to deliver kitchens and hadn't a clue what the part numbers mean't as they didn't correspond to the paperwork . Just hoped it was loaded right !
Great vlog Jay thanks. Love the drivers in Glasgow, second only to London imo 😂
Brilliant vlog Jay long days 👍
Kirkham trains depo 👍🏻 have a delived there may times over the years and it's a busy place too. Love the vlogs I've been watching them for the last 6/7 years since your class 2 beginning. I am now a class 1 driver my self finally and I love it❤. I'm working my way up to tramping so I'm going to need some tips & tricks 👍🏻. Keep up the great work safe journey 👍🏻
Kirkham in Lancashire?

Choo Choo, all the train spotters be like…eee by eck it’s a Class 37!
How is Scott doing ok Jay and thanks 👍 again for your road 🛣️ trip videos in the DAF XF and take care this week out on the road.
hi
well done your a star keep safe
The one place you would expect a site induction lecture would be here! Beware were you are when strapping etc. That coy you were delivering to should certainly of had CB aerials on their checklist! At level crossings, the clearance height is 5.6m for loads; For a CB aerial, I am not a fizzist, but I would certainly rein it in long before that! Hah-hah! Brill vlog!
alstom ive got a site induction for central rivers tomorrow then got to do all the london ones and crewe
@@stokesy1110 Releived to hear mate, take care.
I’m a train driver,we treat overhead lines as live at all times, and don’t get closer than ten feet
Hi Jay, Saw you at the Devon show, although, as much as I admire your work, I would have been, perhaps just another fan. I used to be a class1 driver, mainly in the South West, but retired nearly 2pm years ago, I thought then there were to many regulations etc, but my bug bear was the traffic congestion. Great channel and content, well done. Derek
Hi jay Did you have to pay the parking ticket in your last video
Multi drop is nightmare small van ,LGV its always the same you need eyes in the back of your head. When errors occur it helps if someone in charge has been in your position rather than some jumped up pen pusher. The collection from the railway yard was downright dangerous there was was insufficient roadway around the tracks. Regards Crawford
Think driver would be glad to get out of Manchester
'Norn Iron' as its pronounced ...gods wee country
Just another trucking day ehh.👍
Mainline used to drive for them neachells lane willenhall westmidlands
Hi Jay. Does your truck have a manual gearbox? Really enjoying the videos!
Hard work to understand the B-road Scottish lol you was like o ok lol
good the drops are close togerher
thank god I didnt apply for Mainline haulage, I heard on the grapew vine the wheelbarrows are a nightmare and are hand ball
Great vlog Jay. The scottish accent can be a nightmare but its a nice drive up with great scenery. Part of y wifes family are from up there. Question for you, how do you find the manual truck a d do you prefer autos?
So can the English accent !
@@Alan-gx8gf depending where you come from absolutely!
I work here too. 😅
Defo it twists my tits when people don't indicate. There obviously an optional extra to them. Grrrrr!!! Lol
first thing I do with satnavs is turn the voice off
and me
Not sure how they let you onto a running line with 25,000 AC volts running above.
Let's go donkey did you get your parking ticket sorted, was the railway depot Derby?
For most trains its 25 000 volts
18:37 lane 3 overtake? is that a legal thing in Scotland!?
Manchester, nope never heard of the place 😂😂
The Scotts have a phrase for this something like get tae fook numpty as a welcome to Scotland english person
There no rush There I've sat there for 2 hours 😂😂
Have u seen one get electric uted I have blew 2 super singles off rim melted every oil seal it as not got to touch the wire it can jump on a damp morn ruined the sandy and trailer burnt all cab lining not nice yeb came next day and learnt us alot good to no stay in cab if happens if u jump out it will do u in

Drivers now days dont fill up there blinker fluid bottles so no blinkers
I use to do multi drop in a rigid
After a run in with the big C , I found out life was too short for that shit.
Bad loads, bad directions awful twats of yardmen ,porters, orderlies generally muppets in charge.
1 well known distribution centre in Ireland 🇮🇪 and the uk 🇬🇧 7 and a half hour for 3 pallets of lego.
Best of luck and keep it safe 👍🇮🇪
You should have been told and truck checked for height. 😮
told what ?
Good morning Jay please I went to learn how to drive truck, please.
It's the banksman's responsibility to ensure that your vehicle doesn't collide with anything right? That would include your CB ariel.
@@DesStewart There should also be clear signage for overhead live powerlines.
you have rubber tyres and would be insulated.
@@DesStewartThe same still applies. I wouldn't fancy testing it, but theoretically you should be fine.
If you start before 4am thought you legally could only do a 10hr wtd day
wrong
4am then 10 hours, bloody lucky, drivers shift is a shift , time doesn't matter ,long as you had correct rest period, every day is game for an hgv driver,long as you follow the correct rest periods and all the bacon sandwiches, 🤔
15hrs should be paid at 8 hrs @£30. 4 hrs@£60 & 3hrs @ £100 making £780.
fgood vid
I`m in Scotland and wouldn't recognise your accent as being from Manchester.
Did you know you can mute your Tom Tom 👍🏻. Don’t know how you do the vlogs with that constantly talking
Glasgow drivers are very ignorant they never say thanks or let you out, haha can you tell im from Edinburgh no love lost there then
Edinburgh is a nice city it would need to be better sign posted
Put your camera 🎥 out side you toy truck
Driving really has gone pants… pushed and under paid….. office staff have no respect.. so drivers don’t care….
Fuck all wrong with the Scottish accent it's great
Well said, 👍👍
