Nice one Darren as always quick question on your sat nav can you set reminders so you know the route for next time you go as could be while before you go again Cheers 👍
@@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
@@Life_of_Darren It was actually a fantastic day tbh mate, Got there 8:45 queued for about 5 minutes then had to wait for gates to open at 9, Then was sunny 20 degrees all day. i burnt haha .. Venue was SO big Trucks was everywhere you could easily get lost and not remember where you've been and not been haha
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.
Nice video mate far easy if you stayed on the 58 and come of at pimbo then it’s only 5 mins away where you was where your near graylaw

I’ve not actually ever checked tbh, I know you can save favourites etc if that’s what you mean?
@@Life_of_Darren yes I think 🤔 you can save a destination on where you been for future visits ie routes etc
Great video Darren, Enjoy watching! Gotta love short weeks, Long weekends! How it should be haha. Hope you and the fam have a good weekend mate
I’d much rather do the longer hours but over 4 days and have the long weekends.
Have a great time at the truck show mate

@Life_of_Darren yeah it's torture 😂 the joys of being an agency driver these things come at a cost 🤪
Nice blog 👌 Darren early start 👍
Luckily you get used to them after a while
another good vlog mate
Thanks bud
Spot on again
Thanks mate
Hey Darren, love your videos mate.
Is UK still looking for HGV drivers? I would love to work there to be honest.
Yeah there always looking for drivers mate as there is meant to be a shortage still in the uk
Why do you start so early
Always is mate, depends on how far we need to travel on the day and we have to beat the traffic if travelling past Birmingham etc
