First time seeing your video impressed with the map of your journey, Refusing a drop needs to be stopped ,some won't accept a single Pallet af 4pm which could be taken off in minutes and are open for another hour, They should be charged which is another 120 miles round trip ,😢 we never do this even if we are late leaving as a Driver if i have just returned i will jump on the Forklift and help 😊 So that the Driver can go , And is complete waste of time and Expensive Fuel 😢 But Stupid people cannot see it in management, Well Done everyone ✌️
Absolutely spot on! it boils down to poor management!! - Thanks for watching!! 👍
Driving a big arse truck with 2 pallets also doesn't help. Here in the USA lots of food loads are refused they are very strict, it is not returned to depot dumped or the driver will try giving it away at the truck stops. The big problem here is Lumpur fees the trucking companies have to pay the warehouse to unload. It used to be $300 to $400 now its $750 on the low end. They pay the guys unloading if lucky $15 an hour usually $10. The warehouses are making big bucks its extortion. Nor sure if that's how it's done in the UK. Also the trailers have to be washed inside before going to pick up food after every load. That is done at the nearest truck stop and can take hours waiting in line and costs around $100. Waste in the world costs hundreds of billions in perfectly good items being dumped.
@@Fazak38 Wow! Thats incredible!!
I had one whilst doing multidrop for pallex on a rigid. 2 pallets from different senders, 1 booked at 11.30 on time accepted, other booked 12.55 refused & told to come back on time. Said I'd try but 3 more drops to do plus break due.
I managed to return at 12.45 & girl on fork lift (side tip so 5 minutes work) honked for me to open curtains. I said no its not 12.55 yet. She said she goes home at 1pm. Yes, I opened the curtain then gave her the bad news- there's an export consignment to Lithuania to pick up. Why you not say earlier? she asked.
Why? Collection order just come through. Why you not take both off earlier I asked, - "I not speaking English very good" said she.
You couldn't make it up!
@@drivefitnessuk Blame the Government
A few weeks ago I was talking to a potato farmer down in somerset who told me that he supplies potatoes to a well know supermarket beginning with "T". He delivered an artic load of potatoes to their depot about 200 miles away for it to be refused (because they had received their quota for the day). The driver was then made to drive through a sprinkler system which sprayed the potatoes with purple dye. Supposedly making them on usable to any other re seller. He got back to his depot took the worst out for animal feed and got his workers to wash those not too stained. " days later same potatoes delivered to supermarket . " trip 800 mile ...... great clubcard saving there. These British supermarkets are a cartel controlling prices and availability. Screwing the customers and even more the suppliers.
They should not sell to them any more, not allowing you the right to sell your produce elsewhere is unacceptable unless they pay for it.
Disgusting,
The Margins must be maintained either that or it’s what they call Cost Cutting which is making people jobless and they get away with it all the time. Time to call a halt to this is well over due.
Deliberately marking the products so they can't be sold elsewhere sounds criminal to me, once they've marked goods they've lost the right to refuse delivery, they've completed the sale as far as I'm concerned, and need to complete their obligations to pay for that load.
I used to live next to a farm that sold Cabbages and Cauliflower to the same supermarket chain. Apparently, as part of his contract, he was not allowed to sell anything to anyone else at all. He'd previously had a farm shop that sold to the local people. The farm shop didn't make any money because the turnover was much too small, but he did it to help the local community. That farm shop had to close as part of his agreement with the big T.
They were also picky about the exact size of produce they'd take. So about a quarter of his produce was left in the field to rot (being either too big or too small to be sold). Naturally he'd let the locals know and encouraged us to help ourselves to the free veg. Nice guy but, like you say, these big supermarkets totally rig the prices.
Just retired, forced, After 50 years as a HGV driver, refused to work 15 hour Days, So worked out of a Job, To be honest I have had it with HGV driving, Treat like dog by people you keep in a Job, Nobody stood on their doorsteps clapping HGV drivers for working through every pandemic since 1947, HGV drivers enabled Doctors Nurses to get to work, Putting food in shops and petrol in Garages, I delivered to Aldi Bolton, Finished and went shopping had to que to let So called front line workers go in the shop first, As a HGV driver I was not classed as a frontline worker. People do not realize that this country would stop in less than 24 hours if HGV drivers stopped work.
I saw the writing on the wall back in 1991. I left my half-decent HGV job and joined the railways. Now this shyster government is wrecking the railways. I wouldn't advise anyone to become a lorry driver. Job was screwed when bucket loads of Polish drivers came over to do the job for half the price.
@@BibtheBoulder Most went home because they had to start paying tax through PAYE.
And there we have it. I did 43 years in haulage driving every category of truck up to 44 ton artic. More times than i can remember i had loads delayed for no apparent reason, told to go away & come back in hours time (even for a single parcel), and refused outright. The fact that i might have several other calls to make or booked times to make made no difference to person accepting delivery. If a whole load refused then it usually resulted in an easy day, which i didn't mind as long as id not been kept ages waiting. Several London loads (from Nottingham) were taken back, as Daz says - 3 times the cost incurred.
Im retired from it now, came to renewing licence, driver cpc, medical (all at my expense), i couldn't face it over the age of 60. Ignorant inexperienced transport planners didn't help either. I could go on.... !
30 years on the backdoor and I have only ever refused one load. It was a frozen delivery where the temperature was set at 20°C instead of -20°C. Management wanted me to accept it but since they were unwilling to give me the order to accept in writing, it got sent away.
Honestly glad you did that.
And your managers must not like you because that was a gateway to firing you unless they really were that incompetent
Thanks for sending it away.
Would of been thawed out by the time it got to the destination
@@comeoutdoorswithus4406 The temperature probe was reading between -7°C and 4°C based on what products I probed. Ice cream was liquid.
Complaints about a shortage of drivers - yet you're refused tipping (often probably due to traffic hold-ups, which you can't control, or yard managers with a control complex), made to wait (because the forklift driver simply can't shift his lunch break 15 mins), sent the wrong way due to rubbish signage etc etc. You've every right to be frustrated
Forklift driver will have an allocated time for his break just like you get your driving breaks would you like to be pestered while on yours most places have a clocking machine so once he's punched out if he works through he's lost his dinner.
I'm not a forklift driver or a trucker but the forklift dude shouldn't move his break 15 seconds... His break is his break.
@@Mmouse_ I've been on both sides of this. As a forklift driver, recently had a truck turn up to collect a pallet just as I'm about to clock out. No problem loading and clocking out 5 (unpaid) minutes later occasionally. The next day he turned up 5 minutes into my break! Luckily I could finish my break later so didn't mind getting him loaded and on his way.
When I drove for the company he works for I was once kept waiting over an hour for 2 pallets because they'd all gone for lunch and hadn't even prepared them before booking the collection! Occasionally I'd get in trouble for missing collections for reasons beyond my control like this, all for not much over minimum wage doing 10-12 hour per day, hence I'm more sympathetic than some.
It proves the point that driving hgv's in England isn't worth a toss anymore.
Thank fuck im not doing that nasty job at the moment & don't know if I want to again.
I feel your frustration about rejected loads.
I once delivered a load to a well known supermarket chain warehouse here in Australia, sat there for 3 hours & had it refused.
The product was correct & the count was correct but 1 digit in the barcode did not match their computer so they rejected the load.
I took it back to our yard & it sat in our warehouse for 3 days at $1.50 per pallet per day, truck holds 44 pallets double stacked, then took it back to the same supermarket chain & it was accepted because someone changed the barcode number in the computer.
Also in the USA the Lumpur fees for unloading are paid by the driver on the company credit card when authorized. I have known drivers who put the receipt on the seat or dashboard,opened the window and it flew out no receipt then the fee is taken out of your pay. Minimum $750. They are so strict now you have to put truck # trailer #load# in gas pumps before you fill up your fuel tanks. The cost of tolls on the highways is now so high they route you through small towns and back roads for hours on your gps,it flashes red if you do not get off the highway if you ignore its taken out of your pay. The cost of stop starting at all the lights probably costs more on fuel than the tolls, but they watch every dime when the truck is running. Plus the destruction of the back roads noise pollution and slower traffic is the side effect. Worse though you get paid by the mile over here and it's hard to get the long miles in on back roads and stopping and starting going through the small towns. It's a shit show now.
First week in December I had a load of beer rejected at Asda Lutterworth because it only had ten months shelf life. My last drop one day, Booker Norwich wouldn't accept 28 cases, (two layers on pallet) at 15;40, had to stay overnight, in the morning it took 30 seconds to tip.
When i was driving hgvs i hated the fact that a lot of places wouldn't tip you if you were 10 mins late ut would still make no effort to tip you if you arrived early.
Yeah, that irritates me too
Been there got the T shirt, I used to drive for Tibbett & Britten Group ,they would fine companies for loss of earning if we weren't tipped on time, we always had back loads &T&B would not tolerate it
@@paul-c7541 that's tbe way to do it. A pity more companies didn't play it that way
my heart gose out to you guys and gals. so much red tape and times to keep too, and driveing a monster like that can not be easy. i have respect when i see you lot
Excellent video Daz, thanks for that, keep up the good work and keep safe!😀🚛
What a good insight into your job.
I just 'accidentally' came across your video and I found it entertaining from start to finish.
Thank you!! 🥰
intersting to see you assist the new pass driver , testimony the dcpc falls short of its intention, i come from an age where we roped and sheeted , manual trucks, tilts etc . yet i still have to sit tjis wretched schemes/stealth tax
Great video Daz. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Hi. When you next visit your Nunn Road depot, say hello to Rob in the warehouse for me please. Pete from B.I.D. We used to store goods at that yard, before they moved to East Mids Airport.
in this day and age I've never understood why the trailer legs have never been made mechanical or electrically operated with a back up manual system incase of failure, great video daz
Would another lead from the unit, as they have for tail lifts. Winding legs up and down is easy and quick as long as some one hasn’t dropped the trailer to high, or too low and it’s sunk.
@@peterburnett1661 could be worked on some kind of Anderson lead idea
You CAN get auto connection/disconnect but they are very expensive I believe jost have one and possibly smitzbull also any system would have to be to the same type and standard
Because electrical shit goes wrong whereas Armstrong never dies. That’s very important after a 12 hour drive and you just wanna finish up and fuck off home.
Cost.
I remember years ago I had to go to this huge supermarket warehouse belonging to W, owned by a large department store, at that time everything had to be on chep pallets if they found either a pallet or damage of the goods on any pallet , the whole 24 pallet load was put back on and sent back, ridiculous, I wonder if that still occurs with them.
Nice one Daz hope you founding days bit better least you home each evening thats priceless 👍👍
Hi Dazz how are you doing Pal ? I hope you’re son tells you he loves you ? Strange question I do apologise as I lost my dad a week ago from vascular dementia. I sure wish I told him I loved him. He was 88 so a good age Dazz. Next Sunday will no be easy being Father’s Day as it was the Monday he past on & me mum & family cremate him next week at Kirkcaldy then it’ll be straight back to Covenanter Hotel in Falkland where sanies & sausage rolls & where bits of Outlander was filmed years ago. But this past week has really taught me one thing & that’s never take life for granted as you never know what’s around the corner. I pretty much guess you don’t take life for granted so apologies if it sounded like I was giving you a lecture as it wasn’t meant so I apologise Buddy.
Ive so much respect for hgv drivers, was a mechanic on them late 70s till 1990,.winters were a bitch,especially breakdowns on the highway ,Scotland, now in sunnier climate no regrets.
People talk about the shortage of truck drivers, but there is as bad a shortage of workers in warehouses and a shortage of warehouses. This all adds up. Then add in the extra paperwork and lack of drivers from the continent who used to deliver when they arrived here and pick up as they left....and you have nothing but cost and headache.
Reversing Brexit would help all round but is obviously impossible now. The foreign lads and lasses aren't afraid of hard work for basic pay - and all that extra red tape to get stuff across the channel... Why did we vote to bring trade sanctions upon ourselves? Nose cut off to spite face!
A few months ago, when we had "shortages" the food (tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce etc) was fresh when you got it, although the price had risen. Now we are back to the state where food is rotting as soon as you get it home. I suspect a lot of this is because loads have been refused and sat in a warehouse for a couple of extra days. Oh, and of course, the price hasn't come down.
Great video Daz jobs hard enough with out being mest about if they had to pay for turning loads way they might think about it like you if you had wait for hour or so you be a bit fed up with it but you get your load i no bin there done it keep up the good work 👍
the prices for basics is eye watering and simply unsustainable
Happened to me all the time. Boots Nottingham was famous for it.
Hated boots Nottingham on multidrop. I'd have several different bays to tip on different booking times. I'd generally load them towards front of load then go in late. If they needed them, they'd take them. As for sitting on their lorry park awaiting the pager to bleep, forget that!
@@petejones9755 Same here, I think being a complete r sole is a requirement of working there. Hull, waited outside for two hours because the yard was full, got called in when there was space, sorry drive, you've missed you'r booking!
Good to see you mucker, I was shunter at great bear blenhiem👍
Happened to me last week ..boots nottingham ..wrong code on pallets ...after 3 hours ....taken back to london....
I used to run cargo ships. There is a system in shipping called demurrage which is system of payments that are made by the loading or unloading port if they don't load or unload the ship in a specified amount of time. That delay costs money and it is agreed in the shipping contract. That said, ships have to arrive in a specified time window and if they fail to arrive on time they can be rejected although typically not. They usually signal their arrival in the proximity of the port or the 'on the roads' as its known well before arrival. It seems to me a system like that might work in the truck industry.
Frankly, my brother in law is a truck driver and the stuff he tells me about the appalling way that retailers behave towards truck drivers and the poor management inside logistics operations of very big companies its a wonder anything works at all.
That's something that we could definitely use! .. Trouble is, the powers that be seem to care as little as everybody else does about us unfortunately!
In the late 70s and into subsequent years the container side of the haulage industry used the demurrage system charges and it worked very well!! Running times were more or less standardised and most if not all drivers and hauliers stuck just about to the rules, it worked in those days but it would never work nowadays because everyone has become greedy beyond belief, the working man has no power, or respect from the most of UK industry or the population in general. Thanks all you Capitalist bxstards hope you're vision for the future really works out, and thanks to all misguided Brexit voters, Tory voters and people that can't be bothered to vote at all. Back to haulage!? All working together would bring about proper haulage and pay rates for all of us, not to mention safer driving hours and conditions, thanks for now but there's really an awful lot more to be said yet!!!!!!!
Been waiting ages for a vid!😁
What have we learnt from watching this?
Firstly, that there are a***y types in lorry yards everywhere who are happy to subvert any attempt at efficiency, busy ruining it for everyone else.
Then we see a new lorry driver who has gone through goodness knows what hoops to be taught and to pay large amounts of money to pass tests, and more tests, but who at the end of it remains unable to load a lorry. (So much for driver-training).
So glad I've left general behind. Now work on same run every night so less traffic and finish about 11am. Couldn't go back to days and going South. I live in Cumbria.
I like the idea of nights to be honest! :)
I did a bit of night trunking year before last and it involved picking a trailor up from the ferry port, swapping at a RDC and then dropping the loaded trailor at the ferry port. It was not a bad little number but the company were cu@ts to work for so I left.
So glad I’ve left all of it behind after 30 years.🤯
Daz it boils my pish that these very same coys are so 2 faced about enviroment on their glossy website. Luke C, partner in arms was refused a load. HGV industry seem so wasteful on labour, waiting hrs to load etc. I wish I were a truckie, the amount of books read & knitting done waiting!
I dunno how they get away with it.. it's just senseless. 👍
Man ,that's some SHIT to put up with, the very same in ,Ireland good luck too you ,drive safe.
well I loaded 250 tons of grain for castelford and got half way to goole in 3 hours by river
We really should be looking at waterbourne transport as a positive option that reduces road congestion. The Aire, Ouse, Trent, Hull, and Humber are arterial routes that should be utilised more than they are - I was walking along the Humber a couple of days ago around the Barton/Hull area and it seems criminal that such an expansive waterway had NO shipping in sight....
After 40 years I'm glad I'm out of it now.
The reasons for price rises are never what they tell you
Seems R D Cs are still a piss take. Three hours😳 to load you. The load is on the other side on a truck thats also been sat there three hours waiting to unload. They run out of room in the place and use you as a temporary storage area. The place my dad worked at back in the day pulled out of eny job where an R D C was involved. 3/4/5 hours waiting to tip wasn't on the odd occasion but every time.
13:52 What bloody waste, a 4 legger flatbed 10 tonner could have hauled that
Nice one Daz
good morning Louis...
First time viewer here, regarding the GPS, I was wondering, do you use a regular car based GPS or a truck specific one where it's designed to avoid unsuitable roads for HGV' (you enter details like your vehicle length, height, width and weight, load type)?
Yeah, a truck one.. You enter all the details 👍
poor poor daz in a merc , keep the vids coming daz will watch yours till the the cows come home m8,, keep safe
Cheers mate, you too! 👍
It’s always 3 hours isn’t it 😂 don’t get how it takes so long, I’ve tipped myself in Aldi, Lidl and it takes 25/30 mins, so frustrating waiting sometimes.
Because in Tesco and all the other retailers carry a lot more lines where as Aldi Lidi Ect only carry 200 odd lines and don’t take in many new products so they have a lot more space
@@patrickorourke152 aldi & lidl have a self tip policy, you unload yourself, in the usa they use teams to do it known as lumpers, tescos known to be numpties with unloading tbh
@@GazFantastic that’s the perfect way to look at it and the longer it takes you to unload the longer YOU are delayed !
You sometimes wonder if the customers really needed the delivery or were just to la, y to tip you.
Unfortunately if you turn up early a bay won’t be available as another truck will be on it. Also the putaway drivers won’t have a goods in lane cleared for your load yet.
If you arrive late then someone’s else’s load would have filled your slot and once again there will be no bay available and no goods in lane.
🤷♂️
In theory thats how it should work, but why when you turn up on time at most RDCs do you still wait for 4 hours or more?
2:43 Thats my hometown not many people even where it is
Daz well ldone showing the new guy
Was the load refused due to missing a time slot? I know that some of the supermarkets have strict timeslots for lorries. We sometimes see them parked up in laybys on the local duel carriageway waiting for their time slot
Yeah, but it still costs a lot of money that had to be made up somewhere and normally that's at the tills.
@@drivefitnessuk Wonder if the supermarkets are using some sort of computer program to manage their warehouse space, with the program determining if a load can be accepted
Supermarket warehouse times slots are fairly strict here in Australia, you normally get 30min leeway either side of your time slot, BUT they will keep you waiting for a dock for hours.
The longest I have waited is 5 hours.
Point taken about adding extra cost to the delivery but you've got your maths a bit wrong. Because the delivery cost has tripled from say £1000 to £3000 that doesn't necessarily mean the cost of the end product has tripled in price. The extra £2000 for the delivery is divided by the amount of items on board. Say you had 2000 items on board then the extra cost of delivery would add £1 per item.
The original £1000 would be distributed between the load.
Perhaps he should have said the delivery part of the cost which has to be covered has tripled.
Agreed that the delivery would not be the whole cost, but the the triple delivery costvwpuld need to be covered and so if it can't be absorbed it will result in higher prices for us end buyers.
Some load’s definitely should be refused, my son works for Morrisons, there’s a few issues with his loads, firstly he gets pallets of frozen mixed with other unfrozen goods, secondly they get late delivery times which means, he has hardly any time to work the load before the store opens in the morning, thirdly often the pallets are over on their side in the back of the waggon, goods dispersed all over the floor, meaning this all has to be cleared up before they can unload, they get no help from delivery drivers, who are foreign and claim they don’t understand English. All these problems can be resolved by the depot concerned, but the Store Manager will not allow any of his staff to contact the depot to resolve the issues, ridiculous situation and the wagons concerned should be always be refused until they get their act together!!
Bull💩
had a idiot say im late and they do timed deliverys he gave me a talking to and how to book in etc,i just rung my boss he said we dont do timed,so tell him to f££k off and not order from us again,they got the message has we just turn up now and get unloaded asap
If you were all to go on strike people might realise how important road freight is... that lorry isn't just there to block your passage on the A7. In fact if you all just took the week of it would be economic and sociatal collapse. Whearas train Drivers going on strike is merely an inconvenience. But train Drivers make twice the wage of truck Drivers.
I agree! Trouble is, people in the UK just won't do it.. irritates the hell out of me
People know that the country is dependent on lorry drivers. Everyone sees that shops are on roads, not train lines!
@@russellpengilley5924 People kinda know but mostly they're just annoyed by lorries "clogging up the roads". While they motor from Tesco to B+M to Home Bargains.
Loads have been refused since year dot I don't think that can be blamed on the cost of living
Hi daz its important that you spend time on your son as he will benefit from your experience knowledge and love. Yes these refused loads are getting ridiculous daz . I have had 4 loads refused in the last 5 days plenty room to off load and plenty warehouseman these cost all mount up for end user its poor management just lazy . Tip my hat to you daz for helping the new driver just passed his class 1 again lazy management not showing him the right way to doing things
SatNav in Poland would make your hair curl.
You can go from Autostrada, to slip, leading through a nothing village, onto an unmade road, with a brand new large roundabout they have yet to still connect, and back onto the same Autostrada.👍
Don't fancy that, although the word "challenge" springs to mind lol
What was the reason that they refused the load?, do they have to give a reason?, does the HGV company punnish the driver when that happens?, I passed my HGV Class 1 test in January and have been trying since then to get a job as a driver, but currently have zero experience, and everyone is asking for 6 month minimum experience, the ones that say "new passers welcome" never even interview me after application/submitting a CV, and I am sure it is for 1 of 3 reasons, (in the military, which to most employers is a big no-no, I'm a male and White), in this diversity driven culture. Just wondering what you have to do or can do when that happens, as I am sure if I ever get to be a driver, which I hope to be, I will face this same situation one day. Thanks Neil
No, there's no punishment.. As for jobs, if you're struggling, get on agency for a short while to get the experience if you can 👍
Too many backdoor Joe's who will give drivers hassle, you are booked in for say 10 am you arrive 9:50 ready, and Joe says join the queue driver behind those other 6 artics

Nice one! 👍 cheers mate.. hope you're back to full health soon!
all inflation stems from net zero
I've had lots of loads refused. Artic load of frozen food to a supermarket in Brecon. I absolutely was not going home loaded. Pulled all 18 cages out and left them on the pavement out the front. Faked a signature and headed home.
Another was a supermarket in Bath. It was a regular drop. Backed onto the bay, rang the bell. Waited 90 mins ringing the bell every 10 to 15 minutes until I was told they weren’t accepting the JIT order they'd made that morning.
OK, fine. Not a problem. Took my pen knife and cut a splinter off a pallet and jammed it in the bell push button and waited. Angry voices shouted for me to stop ringing the bell. Ah - sorry mate it seems to be stuck. They took the load but were not happy.
Next was a construction site in Bedford. Another regular drop for Marley concrete blocks. Pulled up as usual at the porta-cabin, went in as normal and was told they were refusing as they hadn’t ordered it. I phoned Marley. They said it was part of 32 loads of blocks and I was load 17. I went back to the porta-cabin and told them. Nope - not taking it.
Fine. Another call to Marley this time to head office, and they told me I wouldn’t be paid if the blocks weren’t delivered. What to do???
I know... I reversed back and then drove forward as close to the porta-cabin as possible turning left just as I stopped before backing right hand down to put the trailer an inch from the door.
Lots of shouting from inside as I wound the legs down. I waved goodbye as I pulled the pin trapping them in the cabin as the door opened outwards.
I went for my break and returned to find the trailer had been unloaded. I hooked up and drove off. Don’t mess with a Cat 3 driver. Moving heavies makes us a bit crazy, but it gets the job done.
Hahhaa!! love your style!! 👍
Should of recorded you would of made some cash
Drivers should insist on having a copy of each order from the intended drop site. This would avoid any unwanted deliveries.
So you was in Charles well’s brewery in Bedford
Why was the load refused? I'm not familiar with trucking or the ins and outs of it all. Reading the comments, I can see there are soooooo many reasons and some seem arbitrarily made up on the spot (stupidly so like being 10 minutes late).
Yep.. This was because it was late and they had their own trucks to load IN AN HOUR.. it would have taken 20 minutes to offload my trailer.
@@drivefitnessuk That's honestly insulting to you and other drivers this happens to, and that's before taking into account higher prices that have to account for this.
Wow that's a joke. They would have had 40 minutes to spare if they just unloaded your cargo.
Companies that are public should be mandated to publish how many loads are refused and for what reason. I bet the public would have something to say if they see X-amount of loads were rejected for being 15 minutes late.
So why was the load refused??
3:29 why was it refused?
Interesting.
How does one pass a lorry test without knowing how to load? Is it not part of the test? Surely it is an integral part of driving a lorry?
You do get "some" training, CPC covers that, although a lot of it is learned on the job with experienced drivers helping. Some companies have mentors too
all this and the price of fuel this is why Britain is going to the dogs
Over zealous Health & Safety has increased the cost of living via council tax amongst others. It now takes 10 people plus vans etc to do the job a couple of workmen did 20 years ago.
Top driving sir take good care
These cretins didn't make Westminster inflate the currency by 45%, but I get your point.
Sounds a stressful job, glad I didn't train. I would spit the dummy with all the rules.
so it looks like its quicker by barge hull to leeds by barge is 10 hours for a 1000 ton delivered
Indeed Anna. There's a lot to be said for avoiding supermarket shopping altogether.
I tried to "load and pay for" two pillows at the Aldi self-checkout this week, but was told off for "comic posturing" at the till which, as usual, I couldn't make work. So I left saying "I'm not that keen just to buy two pillows. I 'll re-wash the old ones and you can put these back on the shelves."
I dont know why we dont use the rivers more, especially with all the congestion on the roads. Hull, Leeds, York, Derby, and Nottingham for instance should have regular freight and passenger services by boat.

No comment on that from me lol 🙈🤣.. TBH I do it because its easy, regular, I earn enough for what I need and I get home.. Besides, the more I earn, the more goes on tax to pay the government and friends..
He doesn't pay peanuts when it comes to bribes though 😂
Cost of inflation is down to government overspending nothing else
Great to see another vlog from you Daz, good man for spending more time with the family because nothing is as important. Cost of living is falsely inflated by our duplicitous government just like many of the governments of recent decades. Gas and electric prices stupidly inflated compared to many other countries, fuel costs crazily high, council taxes up, utility prices are astronomical etc etc however, it benefits the government because they have family or friends who own companies selling us staple items and price rises mean more taxes collected. Oh, and don't get me started on the falsehood of man-made climate change, we'll be here for years and I'll probably get censored. Chin up pal and stay well 👌🏻
Don’t want it .... don’t order it !
Exactly!! 👍
Most certainly nothing to do with Brexit,
Wow, 2 to 3 hrs. With a curtain trailer, 20 mins,easy.
10:58 that’s typical Taylor’s standards of training
It seems typical of many HGV firms. The managers just don't give a shit. I did a bit of class one night trunking and left after just one week because some of the managers had a real bad attitude towards their drivers. I don't miss truck driving at all. I can see why there are a shortage of drivers.

I agree absolutely....
Their "holier than thou" attitude was nauseating at times....but some of the little Hitlers in many supermarkets were even worse.
Managers? Some of them would struggle to manage wiping their own arses.
As you say, the shortage of drivers is no surprise to me.
@patagualianmostly7437 I keep getting job offers but there is nothing that will entice me to go back. Some supermarket managers are arseholes. The number of rucks I had was unreal. Glad I am out of it now.
That's UA-cam for yer.
Yuk! Another driver's filthy spunk-mop. Hankies should only ever be in pockets. I never go anywhere without three or four, but wouldn't dare leave one out for someone else to see. Nasty.
The cab was filthy! .. Makes you wonder how they live at home too..
Why do people go go supermarkets?
Support you local grocer, butcher and candlestick maker.
13:08 if you know you know 😂
🤣🤣
I wouldn't put down rejected loads being behind the cost of living problem, as it's be been happening for years. I've worked in gatehouses for a number of years, the current one, for coming upto 10 years. So I have seen my fair share of rejected loads for countless reasons. Drivers being idiots in the yard, an order that's be canceled but got sent away, turning up over 6 hours late (not because of the driver), turning up 2 days early, the load is at the wrong temp, the load has shifted, and many more.
Yes it does not help with the cost of living, but it's not a new problem.
Then you have, what I think is silly. Sending 3 HGV's with 1 or 2 pallets, because the warehouses they come from are about 10 miles apart from each other. Why not send 1 HGV from 1 warehouse to the other 2 to collect the other pallets, then deliver them?
I have known 9 pots of yogurt be delivered from a warehouse, who's gate in about 200 yards from the gate I work at. They could have put the delivery in an icebox and walked it over, but no!! It got delivered in a refrigerated trailer hauled by a HGV, it took longer for the HGV to drive to our yard, than it took them to drive between the warehouses.
New Training advert came on 23 year old goon saying he is rich is it a scam?
Possibly, I have no control over ads unfortunately
No hi viz no steel to caps HGV loads get refused!
I am in hospital today
Sorry to hear that!
If I was the Boss, I would be refusing to pay you, if the load is rejected! Maybe if everyone was to do that, the country would be in a much better condition.
They don’t have the staff either coz of Brexit all the workers went back home.
And you have to ask, why did these companies employ so many foreign workers, and the answer at the end will be because they were cheap.
There had been a shortage of drivers for years when I started sixteen years ago, the east Europeans came in and companies cut wages, (one way or another), the foreign drivers accepted the conditions knowing no better, and now a large number have gone back employers are faced with no home drivers as they are not there, its a problem of their own making that everyone else is suffering for, and one that was obvious when I started.
@@CrusaderSports250 yeah totally agree. Free market capitalism works well if the politicians leave it alone but they just can’t stop keep putting their oar in manipulating everything to their benefit mostly just to make as much cash for them and their mates. Most problems start and end with these w£&$#ker politicians.
Daz the problem is sometimes companies send stock to warehouses supermarkets Ect when it is not ordered and not needed trying to get rid of it out of there factories warehouses Ect and force it on the retailers hoping they will take it in and then the goods in people supermarkets Ect are seen as the bad guys for refusing it
Fifth wheel’. Find a driving job where you will be appreciated!
I could be mistaken, but I'm past believing that one actually exists lol
So if a load is refused your saying that the tax payer foots the bill when really the place where the load is going to should foot the bill not people like us
Good for global warming..... So glad I gave up hgv driving
