Darren - brilliant opening shot hooking up to that trailer- that is totally a first on the trucking VLOG scene- never seen it like that before....these vids just keep getting better! Less high speed videos with dance music and more action!!!!
The first time I delivered to there the road works were in full force 🙈 I nearly went all the way around but I believe there is a few low bridges and weight limits etc so risked it through the road works - luckily I could get through
Great video mate, Nice steady day! Hope you have a gooden tomorrow, Foot down Friday! Would absolutely love to do a big European road trip really is one of my dreams Motorhome could be good Hired for a week or 2
If you want to see what the coast of Ireland is like, look at Urban Vanlife, they have just spent 3 months touring round the coast, stunning beaches that equal some of the ones in Scotland.
I did think the same myself but then it would add extra time on the loaders as there is only 2 guys that prep around 8 trailers, and also there it’s down to load safety - if something goes wrong due to the load not being secured it’s down to the driver
Hi Darren, how long did it take driving these before you were good at reversing and slow speed maneuvers? I'm on day 2 as a lorry driver and it's baffling :)
I had 4 caravans over 8 years, never lost more than £200 on a caravan after using most for around 2 years, used them 52 weeks a year, saved loads on holidays, never paid more than £30 a night.
@@ladysky838 sure, on one of my previous vlogs I done a behind the scenes for when the company was having a photoshoot done, you get to see all of the trucks, Behind the Scenes SSO Photoshoot | Bonus Content ua-cam.com/video/V3u_6rWtukQ/v-deo.html
Have to say it again- great direction! Great shots in that opening sequence- miles above any other VLOG standard- this is getting professional!!!!
Thanks mate appreciate that! 😀
Your totally correct regarding the lane marking when you can go into lane 3. Obviously that lorry doesn’t care or not aware he’s in the wrong.
I thought it was, it’s when you see others doing something it makes you double guess sometimes

Thanks for the feedback mate, little tweaks here n there and we will have it down to a t
You did some miles there Darren cracking views as well awesome content as always top man 👍🚚
Glad you enjoyed it thanks Jason
Nightmare getting to that cereal factory when they were doing roadworks

Nice day to be in the countryside.
That accident on the m6 with all the trucks one was from the company my dad works for.
Hope they are okay
@@Life_of_Darren I heard driver was in back of ambulance but think he's okay
Sat in Bristol waiting to be loaded watching, been doing it a week now and love it 😃
Great news mate, it really is one of the best jobs out there
Lovely views from your office and the best thing is it changes daily good video Darren
Absolutely, I love the not knowing what tomorrow will bring
Great video mate, Nice steady day! Hope you have a gooden tomorrow, Foot down Friday! Would absolutely love to do a big European road trip really is one of my dreams Motorhome could be good Hired for a week or 2
It’s got to be done mate, you would get to see so much more when you’re driving instead of flying place to place
Another truck vlogger (can't remember who it was) referred to caravans as "wobble-boxes", I can't get that one out of my head 😂
Their not wrong!
Nice run Darren, I regularly take caravan to Ireland because we have a dog and its fantastic I would recommend it bud,
Will
Ooo not thought about Ireland for a caravan holiday, the countryside and coastal areas look fantastic
If you want to see what the coast of Ireland is like, look at Urban Vanlife, they have just spent 3 months touring round the coast, stunning beaches that equal some of the ones in Scotland.
Awesome scenery....when I win the lottery,that's where I'm moving to 😉
It’s not a bad idea for sure
great vid as always
Appreciate that
Hi Darren, quick question, why don't the loader of the trailers secure the load, it would save you and all the other drivers quite a bit of time.
I did think the same myself but then it would add extra time on the loaders as there is only 2 guys that prep around 8 trailers, and also there it’s down to load safety - if something goes wrong due to the load not being secured it’s down to the driver
Up early hopefully done for 1 o'clock
Worn out fuel Filter....A clogged filter will likely cause an influx of sulphur deposits to the catalytic converter, hence the strong egg smell.
Interesting to know
@@Life_of_Darren I thought it was Eggciting information...
Great video Darren 👍
Have you ever thought off doing tramping away for a couple weeks at a time
When little man’s a little older I wouldn’t mind giving Europe ago
Wow 400 miles what a trucker
Hi Darren great 👍 blog 😀 early. Start you are a jammy get your lorry 🚚 lorry is that clean 👌 you need sun 🌞 Ray bans on keep smilling kid 🚚👌😀👍
Absolutely
Hi Darren, how long did it take driving these before you were good at reversing and slow speed maneuvers? I'm on day 2 as a lorry driver and it's baffling :)
It can take awhile but after a couple of weeks it will just become natural, try not to over think and go slow when reversing as it’s easier to control
Look at the cost of a caravan, and how much use you would get for the money.
True

hi darren love ur videos i have a question how do your cabs get there names i hope its not a silly question to ask from heather
No such thing as a silly question 😃 all of our trucks are named after Greek mythology gods 😃
@@Life_of_Darren could u do a video about it if it all possable
