    I’ve just passed my class 1 and I can’t wait to find a job but this is my single biggest fear, that exact situation… doing a hard reverse with a load of impatient “experts” watching getting snotty, I love the technical stuff when I can go at my own pace, not when someone is telling me to hurry up who doesn’t have a clue, well done for keeping it together.

  • @RichardLordRix

    Jay-sus! That reverse would've been a bea-atch without the cars. As soon as I clocked the number of cockwombles in pristine hi-viz [the cleaner it is, the less work they do that needs it] I realised there were more chiefs than grafters. They'd have been better employed boiling the kettle - not that you'd have seen the result of those labours.

    Welcome to London, I usually drive a Low loading flat bed with a ramp for plant. Yes it maybe a 7.5t. But I have to tell the Banksmens to EFF OFF too a few times, As I would ground out or the ramp is not going to be level for the off load. On occasions I would pull my keys out and tell them to do my job. Sure enough they comply and become my eyes and ears. Good luck buddy.

    You were good to keep your composure to be honest, having about 10 of them watching you, chiming in now and again and not being helpful. It's not nice having an audience when you're trying to do things like that. Also the fact that they could move the cars but didn't was just ridiculous, if they moved them it would have made it 10 times easier. Then when you called Daz for assistance he knew what to do straight away. 10 plus workers that didn't have a clue to then 1 that does, a complete shambles on their part. Costing themselves money and time by not being helpful.

  • @malkyerf
    @malkyerf Рік тому +2

    You started the bad feeling when you told him to shut up. I never seen You get out and have a look at where they wanted you to go when you came off the road into their yard, that would have stopped you doing a 90 degree blind side corner when you could have done a more diagonal cut and straightened your route making it easier. Never put down someone who doesn't have an HGV as not knowing how to manoeuvre a truck in a yard, ask anyone who worked in Minto Avenue in Altens industrial estate Aberdeen in the 90,s, Duougie the FLT Driver could get trailers on an awkward bay quicker than most drivers, your piece of paper that says you are good is just that, a piece of paper, as evidenced by your video.

    They ent Banks men, their w*nksmen.
    Should have backed you in, stopped you next the building, got you out an shown you where they want you to head.
    Then allocate who's directing what, case of too many Indians an not enough chiefs there.
    Then moved their own cars, an you'd been near zero issues.
    Well done Daz though, he's what this industry is SERIOUSLY lacking now, proper drivers who know the craic an have got your back wether they know you or not 💪
    Have a well earned pint Jay, cracking vlog that an it should be shown to all newbies to highlight just how s*it this job can be an what you will be facing on the daily.
