Well done Hayley. Your banksman was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
I think he melted before she even got there!! haha
Once again Hayley. Great video. Thanks for sharing once again. I’m a big fan of your channel hun. Keep up the good work 👍
Another great video. Thanks Haley. Keep up the good work.
As always you did brilliantly Hayley taking your time well done Hayley
Another great video Hayley xx Stay safe healthy and hydrated ..
Thanks for the Video Hayley nice job.
Great video as always hayley 👏 👌 👍
Nice one Hayley l would have done that drive in back out you do what you think is easy to get in and out 👍🏻
done a great job im still waiting for my theory test but watching your vidoes shows what I'll have to do keep it up girl great job
enjoyed the video..excellent
Good to see u again
Well done Hayley.
Nice one Hayley 👍
Got to love a banks man that stands in your blind spot and signals by scrunching his fingers up to a fist and thinks that is ok . Ultimately as you did Hayley it’s your responsibility and don’t let anyone bully you into doing something your not happy with 👍Good job
Nice reversing😁
SHALOM 🔥
Thank you 👍👍
I cab hop and always amazed at the driving positions you find !. I'm also a clean well positioned mirror obsessive and some of the dirty poorly positioned mirrors in relation to the seating position still astounds me. Good job on the reverse, it's always the drivers fault when you hit something so take the decisions away from someone else and GOAL. Still applies years later.
I would probably leave the seat in an odd position every now and then just to confuse the next driver 😆

Good morning 🥂🇧🇯
G.O.A.L!
Hope you meant recycle that box not throw it away. Well done at 20.44 to give those involved in that bump a chance to get to safety on the hard shoulder, yes I know I'm the only one that noticed, just showing that I was paying attention Miss! I don't know who it was in the stand but looked like he was wearing a K Transport shirt, just guessing. All the best Hayley.
Thanks for noticing that 😁. Look again at the person in the stand wearing the "26" hat 🤔
You did well, myself I always find it easier to get out and look for myself. Blind reversing is one of the most difficult things to do.
Why didn't they move the cabins adjacent to the entrance
People that try and help to reverse but don't stay in your mirrors are a waste of time if they can't see you in the mirror then you can't see them simple,good that you fmdrove in and definitely seemed easier,👌👍
👍
I was overtaken today by a six legger 20 plate K Transport lorry I was hoping it was you I could have waved nevermind. Glad I don't have class 1, I would be useless doing that reverse, All the best Paul.
You wouldn't see me in a 20 plate, I get the older ones usually 😂. All the best to you too Paul 😊👍🏻
One question when you did your class 2 was your intension to jump to class 1? That would scare me a bigger lorry
No, not at all. It took me nearly 2 years to get enough courage to do my class 1 licence
Hayley,
There is so much garbage and falseness on UA-cam these days. Thanks for keeping your videos real to life and not omitting the everyday headaches that real working people have to endure on the daily.
I am looking at taking steps towards a class-1 licence next year, and your videos be a true inspiration and source of information.
Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you. Best wishes for when you go for the licence next year 🤞🏻😊🚛💨
Do your research my friend, very hard to get work as a new pass driver. Phone a few agencies etc ask if they have work for no experience new pass before you fork out 3k
@@TruckDriverHayley Passed all the theory modules today. All that's left is to book time off work and get myself behind the wheel now!
The videos you've made have been a refreshing, honest insight into trucking work.
Good luck with everything that comes your way.
Hi Hayley,
Pleased to say I passed my LGV Class 1 today. 10 days training straight from a car licence driving an artic around a very busy Glasgow city centre, Scotland.
It seems like an age ago now when I first stumbled on your videos and now the journey to getting the licence is over.
I really had to push myself since I don't even drive the car around that much, so I really had to go outside my comfort zone. But it goes to show it is entirely possible.
My advice to anyone training:
Mirrors mirrors mirrors
look into your new road before turning
learn how to delay/ reference points for turning the vehicle
find the space you need and use it
Your eyes move in the direction you are moving the steering wheel
Thanks for posting your journey thus far, it gave me a lot of confidence to go for it.
Take care Hayley!
🏍🚛👍
Great video Hayley, that other driver wasn't much cop as a banksman could have done with me there as I trained as a banksman at the scrapyard, I can't comment much as I haven't done my class 1 yet but watching your class 1 training in the wag and drag looked scarey compared to artic but having spoken to one of the wag and drag lads at Perry's recycling it might be easier for me to do my class 1 in wag and drag too🤔 have a good weekend
I think this is swings and round-abouts, never done wag and drag myself, but tend to find the longer the trailer the easier to reverse than a wag and drag, sort of like my car licence allows me to drive with a trailer under automatic grandfather's rights, but not an artic. but yet in reality a car trailer is a lot harder to reverse around a corner than an artic trailer due to the car trailer wanting to turn in a shorter distance and keep wanting to turn rather than reversing straight. I would suggest trying a game like Euro Truck Simulator 2 for the pc before doing it in reality usually find it a lot cheaper than a cup of coffee these days. so around £3-4 on a steam sale. you can use keyboard and mouse, and try reversing both trailer sizes, and you will see what I mean.
@@michaelthomas3646 I agree about little car trailers, bit like farm trailers with the axle half way back, they tend to flip round quick but the more axles and the further back they are the easier it is. Can't reverse a little trailer for toffee but a tandem axle 12' trailer tends to go back much better
Hi Elizabeth. The wag and drag felt easier believe it or not because the trailer responds faster. Coming from the rigid to the wag and drag was almost exactly the same going forwards but you go a little bit wider around the corners, not like the artic when you have to go a lot wider. So it's more of a familiar feel. Switching to the artic afterwards was a big learning curve, particularly with the reversing. But if you find a company willing to put you with another driver for a few days you'll soon adapt. Whichever you choose I'm sure you'll be fine 😊👍🏻
@@TruckDriverHayley Perry's recycling who I work for now have 3 RORO lorries and trailers so no problem there, I have started training on the paperbank lorry with the HIAB too, need more practice with the remote controls for the HIAB but Phil who is the only driver who can currently operate it said that I will get there eventually, I can set it up ready for him to use on my own though, very simple routine really and we can work together on set up and pack away well
Hi Hayley what’s a good truck sat nav ?
Hi Hayley wot sat nav do u use ? And wot motorbike av u got, ever bin to Donnington Park ? Cheers
Garmin dezl 780, a yamaha mt09 and no 😁
Flashy lighty things 😂😂😂😂
I'm not one for technical terms 😂😂
@@TruckDriverHayley I had noticed😂😂😂
I was watching the MotoGP British Grand Prix last weekend live on ITV Network. I usually watch it along with the British Touring Car Championship of which I have been watching regularly for the last 15-20 years to date. Are you familiar with the BTCC at all Hayley?
I used to watch the races a number of years ago, back when Jason Plato and Shedden (I think that's how to spell it) were racing. Are those two still in? 😊
Yeah, Jason Plato & Gordon Shedden are still in competition for the BTCC. I'll be watching the live show today on ITV, from Snetterton circuit in Norfolk. I love it. I'm also about to get hold of the back catalogue of the previous events from the 20-plus years that I've been watching it on ITV, they're available on DVD via Amazon. Great stuff Hayley.
I'll try to catch it too then. Thanks Robert👍🏻
Is "Flashing Light Thingy" a highly technical term that you were taught on your management CPC ?.😂😂😂
No, the technical terms are only for the exam 🤔🤪🤪😂
Hope you got your calculator out on TM costings, and deducted how much time you lost with that useless banksman🤔🥴.
Great MotoGP, brilliant sunny British weather. 🇬🇧
Number 100 next 🎉🎈🎖🥳😜🤪
Great video thanks for sharing. 👍
Not sure what to do for no.100. Any ideas? 🤔😊
@@TruckDriverHayley 100 tips for driving??????????????????🚍🚚🚲🛺🛣🛤
So glad you never get in a cab after me... I'm not sure the comments would be anything but insulting.... Maybe drivers only grow to 5'8" in your world?? You'd definitely never reach the pedals, or the controls... Please accept my apologies on behalf of all 6' + drivers...
Relax Leo. I just made an observation that it feels weird when you get into a truck that's not your own. I wasn't being insulting. That would be the same feeling for you getting into the truck after someone shorter 🤔
Hello hayley im emigrant from India im wondering if I can get job in uk as a driver,do I need any certificates etc ,apart from driving licence? My English not so good but im very good driver .do I need level C+ in English and maths or its not a must ? Greetings friend.
Well Hayley we need to get more females to become hgv truckers l am a male trucker at royal mail in the city of York and it's really busy could do with people like you to come and join the band of brothers and sister hood as a trampers
I wouldn't want to do tramping but I do enjoy the day work 😊
Good evening haylay how are you from Alan in Lowestoft
All good here thanks, I hope you are too Alan? 😊
Hi
to go watch the Tour de France 🤔?
...damn it wrong again 🙃
Not a clue 🤷🏻♀️😂
it is probably doable, but would require a lot more experience in controlling the truck, and the risk of clutch control or lack of makes the chances of an accident even more probable as well, as you would litterally be inches from the buildings on the right at all times shunting back and forth while turning just the cab around (keeping the same position with the trailer) once you got the perfect position, but yeah the driver should have stood not quite directly behind the truck inline with the building on the left, but somewhere in that proximity rather than directly behind the port-a-cabin, which is why you couldn't see him was he was inches behind the building, which makes him a totally useless banks man. because while he can see you are missing the other side, because of the tightness to the port-a-cabin on the left, if he was the other side he can see where your trailer wheels are turning, and also be more aware of the surrounding area rather than watching just one spot in close proximity which gives a tunnel vision view of a situational awareness.
but the truck and trailer would be nearly full on jack-knife at the end of the turn, the thing that you were doing good at was keeping about 3 feet away from the buildings on the right, as that allows the cab to swing around with less shunts, and less of a jack-knife situation. but if it was a manual truck then you would have a clutch to engage and disengage, so that would allow you to be closer to the buildings, and also allow you to know when the clutch is engaged or disengaged meaining more control, and more munouverability, and allow you to be quite litterally inches from objects, less chance of hitting them, and be surprised how little room you actually need to swing the cab around in that situation. as each time you turn the truck the trailer moves back that little bit more.
Ex ques me but please give our sisters on the road respect what about some male truckers on the mobiles while driving these females know how to respect the roads and other drivers
which is why when reversing in the yard for the first time, you felt like you needed more steering lock with the opposite direction, but the guy telling you to take the steering lock off, and to think about putting the truck to turn the other way so that the cab followed the trailer for direction.
@@Matthew-uc3rd 100% respect, absolutely nothing was written in a disrespectful way, or meant to come out in that way. like Hayley nailed it for reversing around the corner on her blindside, but the lack of a good banksman, and not being able to tell when she was going to totally jack-knife the trailer or hit the cabins behind her due to lack of awareness of the situation due to the poor visability of the passenger mirror in this situation meant she was uncomfortable with the whole situation, so instead of continuing she done exactly the right, and safest thing to do, and good side reverse out, whereby she can see exactly what is happening behind her, and no damage to the cab or trailer due to a possible jack-knife. the only thing discusted by was how **** the so called trucker was as a banksman, so that Hayley couldn't see him, and you would have expected him to know being a driver where to position himself so Hayley can see him clearer than behind a port-a-cabin.and once he knew the trailer wheels would clear the building on the left, he didn't need to be near the port-a-cabin on the left, as you can see over the trailer standing on Hayleys good side when to straighten up due to there being nothing obstructing his view due to the trailer being a flatbed.
Did your banksman think you wanted to play hide & seek with him? He seems very good at that at least.
