Thankyou Daniel. Another great vid. I lost my wallet at the OLD Lymm Truck Stop(circa 1980). It was posted to me about 3 weeks later (minus money and cards) by an employee who found it on top of a diesel pump at Charnock Richards services on the M6 northbound. Fortunately I stopped my cards as soon as I realised that I had lost the wallet. So glad yours was found by kind, honest people. Get a chain mate. Drive safely.
You were lucky with the wallet Daniel, put a chain on it, you wont forget it next time, not a boring video it was nice to see Spain again, keep them coming.
Hope everything is going to plan Daniel. And your still keeping the shorts on 😎🌞 So pleased to hear you got your wallet back after leaving it in the cafe. Very nice to hear there are still plenty of honest people about. 👍 Looking forward to your run into Rome. As always drives safe my friend. 🚛🌪️
pete brennan thank you very much and yes I know I was so happy to get it back! Ps, the no trouser plan is going well it’s been shorts all the way so far!!
Re 45hr rest . our company driver trainer said that any sort fall in 45hr weekly rest can be made up by adding the sort fall onto the end of an 11hr daily rest, lets say you were 4hrs short on your weekly rest, a daily rest of 15hrs would wipe the slate clean, could be quite handy when you get a long daily rest waiting to reload after a gig. take care
Roger Lanchbury as far as I am aware that is correct but not quite correct. You’re right in what you’re saying you can compensate reduced weekly rest ontop of 11 hours. However by the end of the 3rd week, you must complete at the very least 45 hours uninterrupted no ifs or buts. Our regular daily rests are no problem for us as we are loading in the day before the show and load out the following night. So we are getting at the very least 36 hours between loading in and loading out at every single venue. But as I said by the end of the 3rd week you need atleast 45. Obviously this happens at the venues where we have 2 show nights, or where we get there early. Some of the small print in these rules are ridiculous, and it’s not helped that because of the work I do I spend so much time on rest/break I very rarely have to worry about maxing our my hours so I tend to forget a lot of things too 🙈
@@d1986scott because you paid back time owing on a daily rest, on what would have be your 3rd weekly rest is now your 2nd weekly rest in a 3 week period. i've done it never got an infringment
Stumbled over your channel while surfing Suffolk Matt's. Any chance of video from the load in/out? Oh, and the comment on the first video about not saying who you are touring with - it took me about 2 minutes to find out with the info you gave. :D
GaryHowes1964 you’re not the first lol it’s fine it’s not a massive secret otherwise I wouldn’t have given any info it’s just not the done thing to go shouting about it on social media. It’s seen as bragging and people don’t like that
Nice videos, new sub here. nice to see the roads abroad, not sure if its something i would like to do, 1 day maybe but im still early days in my HGV career
Trucker John-o nothing to be worried about mate it’s the same as anything else you pick it up as you go along... I’d been driving class 1 just over 3 years when I first went abroad
CraigG91 at the minute not atall. I have no commitments at home in terms of a wife or children... I speak to my family and friends over the phone and I have good company on this tour.
If I can remember I think on the motorway in Madrid maybe everywhere one side the junction numbers are even and the other odd numbers for same junction. I remember it being weird.
ΝΟΜΛ I’m surprised too... also have a better resale value as the market for LHD trucks is wider? Anyhow that’s how they’re specced so that’s how we get them lol
I'm curious what you guys do when you have to wait a couple of days before driving to the next venue. I guess you're kinda stuck to a parking-area. You're with about 18 trucks (I tried to count the truck at the end of teh first vlog of this tour...). Do you guys hang out as colleages or do you do your own thing. And since you're with such a big group, is there something like catering or do you have to do your own thing? I don't expect an answer, but hope to see some footage from between drives in a future vlog... ;-) Cheers!!!
Eppoh Heermans hi! Yes we have full catering on this tour. 3 meals a day from when we arrive at a venue to when we leave. The only time we are not fed is when we are travelling between venues. 18 trucks on this tour plus a couple of others doing support acts. For the most part we all get on well and often go out in groups of 3, 4 and sometimes many more. When parked at a venue between load in and load out the time is ours to do as we please. Within reason ofcourse ie no drinking on school nights etc!
Brilliant to hear the placing your number and reward if found inside your wallet worked. A lot of good people out there hey, especially throughout Europe. I’ve always done that but fortunately never had it called upon. We did get a rider once who’d dropped his wallet in middle of remote Slovakia, someone found it and actually brought it up a mountain to our lodgings. Karma
My tank is a fair size it holds around 75 litres it really depends on weight. Average I would say maybe 1500 miles. Empty I reckon it would do 2000 maybe more
Daniel Scott thanks mate! Just found it 😂 was just curious! Love what you do! Would be doing exactly the same if the mrs let me, but stuck here in UK on low loaders. I grew up in Spain so love seeing the roads again. Looking forward to the next video.
William Fence you’re probably right. But I put the piece of paper in there on the off chance that someone honest might find it and fancy a reward and well it’s done it’s job already because I’d be in huge trouble if I had lost it
They are actually really good they are LED, really bright at night maybe they don’t seem so good on the camera but they’re about as bright as headlights come
Next time Ed Sheeran bleats on about climate change someone needs to remind him of the legion of trucks doing inefficient miles on his tours
Cheers for taking the time to make these 👍👍 amazing quality as always keep it up 🚛🚛
Is it 360p for you?
@@josephc6773 720 60fps
They come up in 360p at first. After a couple of hours once UA-cam has processed it you can change it to 1080
Are you satisfied with the pay????
Great video. Nice to meet you. I'm a driver in the US and I'm glad to see the other side. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Daniel
Really enjoyed that video. A good selection of day and night driving with great weather. Looking forward to seeing the next leg.
Kieran Kealy thanks!
Most enjoyable video. I was trekking these routes back in the early 1980's.Thanks for posting...
Peter Piper amazing I would love to have seen what it’s like back then before a lot of the motorways were built

Whoop! I've Been looking forward to this! Amazing video's Daniel.
Love your videos, keep them up and stay safe!! From a fan in Cape Town.

Terence Murphy very lucky indeed! And I’m very grateful that the lady was honest and rang me to say she had found it!
Daniel: Great video; very enjoyable. And, Yes, there is always really good nice, people out there. Drive safely!

Hi mate just see a few of your trucks on A9 Perth to Glasgow tonight looking smart
Rab P there were 14 up in Aberdeen for a gig but the show was cancelled so they are heading down to Bolton next
Thanks for another great video Daniel.

Hi what a good video looking forward for more and just wanted to know how to you get started out I would like do myself thanks safe driving
Peter Bosier I’m I’m going to be answering that in a video soon! Thanks
Great vid. Great watch, Are you missing home much?
CraigG91 at the minute not atall. I have no commitments at home in terms of a wife or children... I speak to my family and friends over the phone and I have good company on this tour.
👍👍👍👍 good morning friend how are you . i liked SCANIA 👍👍👍👍👍
If I can remember I think on the motorway in Madrid maybe everywhere one side the junction numbers are even and the other odd numbers for same junction. I remember it being weird.
Mike Kelsall must be honest I’ve never noticed that. I’ll have a look when I get back in the road
Another great video. What do you prefer. Stadium Tours with few days off between drives or Arena Tours with gigs every day/two days ?
Paul Glibbery stadium tours mate hands down. I like that we get a day and night off in every city, gives us chance to get out and sight see/explore.
Cheers, thought you would say that. Enjoy Florence, one of my fav cities. Got some great venues/cities so stay safe, hold on to that wallet
Hello from Arizona USA.
nice, thanks. surprised you don't have a fleet of left-handers for the amount of Continental driving you do.
ΝΟΜΛ I’m surprised too... also have a better resale value as the market for LHD trucks is wider? Anyhow that’s how they’re specced so that’s how we get them lol

Hopefully that lady received good karma! I would have been in big trouble if I lost all my fuel cards and bank cards not even half way into the tour
I know this maybe a silly question but how far do you get on a tank of addblue just wondering the range regards Tony
My tank is a fair size it holds around 75 litres it really depends on weight. Average I would say maybe 1500 miles. Empty I reckon it would do 2000 maybe more
What show/event are you travelling for? Great videos 👍🏻
jack payne not to be mentioned on social media mate although if you read through the comments some of the others have figured it out lol
Daniel Scott thanks mate! Just found it 😂 was just curious! Love what you do! Would be doing exactly the same if the mrs let me, but stuck here in UK on low loaders. I grew up in Spain so love seeing the roads again. Looking forward to the next video.
great stuff
Good stuff mukka 👍, how did you get into doing the EU routes? I know your on event logistics but where did you start out mate?
Steve Woolham good question, I will answer that in my next video!
@@d1986scott smashing! Cheers mate 👍
Great Vid as usual and not boring at all. Ref your wallet. It's very doubtful if lost in the UK you'd get it back
William Fence you’re probably right. But I put the piece of paper in there on the off chance that someone honest might find it and fancy a reward and well it’s done it’s job already because I’d be in huge trouble if I had lost it
Why don't you have better headlights for night driving?
They are actually really good they are LED, really bright at night maybe they don’t seem so good on the camera but they’re about as bright as headlights come
Just wondering what GoPro you have and what editing app you use or recommend ?
P.s. love the view from the bunk as get to see how tight it gets 😀
Sandy Cook hi, I use a GoPro 4 and just sling everything together on my iPad using iMovie!

Hello mate what made you do trucking and continental
Real Trucker hi as someone else asked the question earlier I will answer this in my next video!
great videos but i think every time you say a place name you should say it in the accent of that country :))
HUNGLIKEAHORSE fly might give that a try 😂😂
what the speed limit for HGV in mainland europe
John Murphy 90kmh in some countries 80kmh in some countries too. Some parts of Austria as low as 60kmh and 40kmh depending on the time of day
👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great vid danny bt the camera angle.....
Maxaa _ you prefer the camera on the bunk?
At the widow would be perfect
Daniel take care of your wallet in future mate.
