      @@Life_of_Darren That's what my manage is trying to push for, Longer days and Friday 12 finish But big boss is having none of it. Ah well.
      Cheers mate, From what I've seen and read so far it's a nightmare. going to need my wellies! Overbook and turning trucks away that aren't on a pitch i think. Hopefully all settled in for tomorrow

      @@ItsRyan. that’s not good if they are turning trucks around, some of them drivers spend an absolute fortune on prepping their vehicles for the shows too.
      Hopefully it’s not too bad for you mate

    Hi Darren, your old follower from Glasgow here. Been a long long time since I last checked into your videos, took about 6 months out from the class 1, my tacho card and cpc both expired and the thought of sitting in a classroom for 35 hours doing cpc put me off, but here I am all done and ready to go again 💪 hope you and the family have been well, will be back following again from now on, take care mate 💪

      Hey bud welcome back to being on the road again. I know the feeling about the cpc, I’ve still got to do 4 more days of the classroom and it’s soul destroying 🙈

    Got to say mate,not impressed with how you just went by truck dragging strap.that could of been dangerous for someone. Me I'd of passed then pulled in and slowed down so he after pass me.then you'd of been a cpl of meters apart.

      There’s only so much you can do when they’re a foreign driver with the cab driver position in the far side.
      I did try beep to get the attention and even used hazard lights when I front of them, but if I had done what you suggested that would cause the buckle to then be in danger of swinging into the fast lane as the truck moves over.
