Two typies of artic drivers -- those who have gotten stuck, and those who will. Great job not turning it into an all-out accident. Also, bonus points for knowing how to use the difflock. I don't know about over there, but over here in the US, you ask stuck drivers if they have their difflock engagned, and too many of them go, "What?". Looking forward to Part II. 🚚
Hi Linda . I know what your saying. Up here in Canada all roads are salted subdivisions side roads . Looks like Scotland only do the free ways . But of course our winters are more severe. I have at times left my difflock in gear and gone side ways as rookie . Greetings from Canada Trucker Al retired.👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Only driving a box truck here in Sweden (Still in school training) but our parking spot has a small hill to get out onto the main road and diff and manual shifting can save the day, max weight on my truck can be 28000kg or 65000lbs so still fairly heavy.
I used to Drive for Travis Perkins in Battle. You should see the fun we as drivers have there so roads you have to refuse to go down due to roads not wide enough to get down and and car owners parking in the way
This is the side of things that the public does not see, these guys get everything to stores around your area no matter what the weather. Great video mate 👍
Hi my friend 🙋♂️ !! Thanks for this excellent tour and commentary ! An excellent museum and preserved buildings and contents 👍 ! Greetings from Scotland 🏴, cheers, Don 👋 !!
Spent a lovely week close to Peterhead ( Fraserburgh) with my family when they were young, went for a drive around the port and it’s much larger than you would imagine, thankfully the hotel was very good and plenty for the kids to enjoy because it rained every day and the day we had sunshine and showers it blew a gale, nice area to visit, great post and like so many others my stomach was wrenching watching you try and get up the hill
Great video Luke, been in that situation a few times myself. I wonder how many people were secretly hoping the wagon slipped off the road and fell into the ditch having to be rescued by a tow truck. Lol
Bit of a slippery situation. However due to experience you got out of it truck intact and no tears. Nice one bud. Keep trucking matey. Nation needs you and all other truckers. Dave.
Revving the nuts out off it in a low gear,all your going to do is spin. Once you break traction your buggered!Manual high gear,traction control off,diff lock in,feather the throttle. Apparently from that good vid.
Thank you Luke Enjoyed your video More then you recording it But well done to you. How lucky we are down in the Midlands Be looking forward to Part 2. Hopefully don’t need to keep my fingers crossed for you all goes well Thanks again. Take care stay safe and most of all Safe Trucking.
Slippery roads, empty trailer and strong winds, such a great combination right :) That small hill as you turned onto B992 seems like a great spot for manual shifting third or fourth gear and just keep the throttle still and hope for the best :)
Cracking video Luke, got to hate the slippery conditions, when I worked on the buses spent a morning rescuing stuck buses, went out with an old double decker,a couple of shovels and a workmate, saved tow out charges for 5 incidents, got stuck once myself but dug myself out and when I got back to the depot the manager didn’t say well done lads, just said where have you been all this time!! Got to laugh!😂😂 Keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛
Raising the lift axle on your trailer would have helped a little bit as it would have transferred more weight onto your tractor unit giving it more grip going up the hill.
OMG Luke, you are a nutter - i wouldnt have tried after the second attempt. That could have been alot worse if you'd slid sideways towards the ditch quickly ! :D :D :D
Loved it Luke your a clever lad not only a class one driver with big balls you have some sick editors skills ❤ Also Luke I’m going for my class one licence I’m only at the start now as I’m about to send off for my first lot of stuff from the Dvla and start studying the theory etc but it’s all thanks to you maté seriously your the reason I so want to get my license thank you Luke 🤜🤛💥🙏
More tension in that video than in an episode of Happy Valley ! You need to carry some stickers mate so that when you meet people that help you out like the farmer with the tractor you just walk up to them and put a sticker on their chest saying “ You Just Met Luke C in a HGV “ 😎
I think the delay worked in your favor giving the temperature & sun a chance to work on the roads. Where I live it's so hilly, I sometimes have 2 throw on a chain or two.
Well well done Luke,but have a word with your governor and get a set of snow chains,if you are taking loads to and from Scotland in winter it is a sound investment.
Well done Luke. Driving in these conditions makes you realize you're either a driver or an operator of a vehicle!! Maybe pack a snow shovel next trip!! ;-) Stay safe.
Great vlog Luke, yeah you'd did this drive on the day Scotland got it's cold snap - good job you didn't come north as Caithness was stationary under 4 inches of snow - cars didn't start moving om my street until the mid morning - you'd have gotten stuck for sure in Wick.
That’s perfect weather in the early 90s I was an owner operator hauling potatoes from Scotland to Cornwall and any back loads I could get on one occasion I picked a load of rubber boats and there engines I picked them up in Stafford going to Inverness to be tipped as as was approaching AVIEMORE it was minus 10 and a complete white out the weather got that bad the police closed the snow gates happy days stay safe 😂😂😂
I have nightmares about editing a timeline like that! (That's my first reaction, right at the start.) 23 mins - No chance of a copyright strike on "Country Roads" Not too bad though... Great video Luke! :) Looking forward to the Sequel.
Luke i would have put the towing eye in the other side, that way when you are pulled it gives you the natural angle to pull you away from the ditch and not towards it,
Nice job Luke, tried your best to deliver without disturbing the customer but a tractor tow took care of it and all went well afterwards. Why don't HGV drivers put a bag of grit behind the cab, would it not be helpful? But I guess you can be travelling from Cornwall to John O'Groats in 1 journey so you never know what you need.
Twitchy bum time in that snow 😅 even though you are not the camera makes you look like your speed is fast through the snow. Well done getting out in one piece
Even if its twice as long, always take the 'real' main roads up here Luke lol. Most of the old A roads like that one just don't get the same treatment, you're literally driving in between the 2 roads that get gritted and snow ploughed all day. Nice bit of excitement and a good taste of the accent thats almost impossible to understand sometimes
As a bare minimum, it should be a legal requirement for all HGVs and emergency service vehicles to use winter tyres, and carry snow chains with them, by law from November-March in the UK. Summer tyres are just useless. They provide absolutely no grip, and just keep spinning the wheels, as shown in your video. I've been all over the Alps, and to Norway and Finland in the Arctic Circle. Even at -35c,the trucks still run like normal there. People chain up, but everything keeps moving. Glad you are safe, and were skilled enough to get out of the situation, and not cause an accident. Safe trucking Luke 🙏🙌🚛
When all cars were getting stuck and saw lorries still getting through used to think they had more traction cos of the weight. Now I drive a lorry don't realise how good those drivers were managing traction up hills
been up that main road quite a few times absolutely gorgeous in the summer winter is usually worst around there. diff locks yes but would use second or third gear and use the soft snow as not packed but good on you for persevering. seen many a truck in these ditches look hard in cold conditions yet to see one take weight of a car let alone an empty truck
When I used to pick up milk from farms with a tractor unit and 25000 ltr tank, there were many times the farmer had to get me out of trouble and with rear steer it was nigh impossible to reverse down a country lane.
Glad your safe and well luke I did the same this to day but unfortunately my lorry it a write off I ended up on its side, I'm fine no injuries or any thing but the lorry is a mess
Topman keeping Calm: you did well.Luke...Not sure why you like driving in the snow, I am not keen on the white stuff driving 44-ton double-decker. Like you Say no gud dam traction. Plus its the others I worry about.....Good luck getting to del....Trevbeats

I work in a builders merchants and since watching you, it’s given me so much more respect for our HGV drivers. Huge thanks to you 😊

That tractor just kept giving and giving that torque. Cool!
No WAY!! Peterhead.. I'm Fraserburgh never would of thought you'd be up this way haha

I was past the same farm just days later. I saw the hole. Well done for not sticking further in Luke
NICE BIT OF DRIVING BUD 👍👍BIG TRUCK LITTLE ROADS AND ICE 👍👍WELL DONE AGAIN LUKE 👍👍
Really great job, well done ! Amazing how powerful tractors really are!
Great video Luke, been in that situation a few times myself. I wonder how many people were secretly hoping the wagon slipped off the road and fell into the ditch having to be rescued by a tow truck. Lol

You are a truly good driver Luke, I give you my total respect for how you tackled that hill.
The tension on the B lane, with the snow was tense for me, well done , cool hand luke...... Brilliant content as always.... 😊😊😊💖🇫🇷
Love all your videos keep up the good work and stay safe!! 🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Well done Luke. Cool, calm and collected............
Thats the best bit of telly ive seen in a long time.

Top video Luke. This is becoming binge watching. You have a great story to tell.
I'm totally enjoying this story.

I won't say: "I loved that," because that's not fair on you! Nevertheless, the whole trip was very interesting. Can't wait for the next one!
Good to see you got out of that snow ok Luke. I’m glad I’m nowhere near Scotland at the moment lol
Usually I’d take the piss , but FairPlay you got yourself out , 👍
Dude, I would have had a heart attack. you are a cool dude.
Great video Luke always enjoy them can't wait for part two
Wow Luke, patience of a Saint gettin out of side of the Road 😬, Lucky the 🚜 pulled ye up the Road, Excellent Stuff 👏💯👍
Nice one Luke, thanks. 👍👍
Great stuff Luke, and well done with the snowy hills.
The Scots don't seem keen on salting it seems to me🤣. Well done to the tractor. They can pull anything
Not ready for the "ice roads" yet mate 🤠
Always enjoy the videos on your channel well done 👍👍👍
It is the most advertised channel on UA-cam so far. Congratz Mr. Ad
thanks
@@lukecinahgv your welcome
Another great vlog Luke can’t wait for part 2👍🏻
I was actually willing you on in trying to get up that hill. Well done to you and the farmer. Roll on Pt3.

Been there Nick over the years digging buses out also, didn’t help when the air systems froze up because the ethanol bottles were empty 😳😳👍🏼
Love the video's that road looked difficult
Well done Luke. That was epic🤓
SHALOM 🔥
Excellent content again Luke, im not even a truck driver but really enjoy the vlogs, always find what you do interesting . Keep up the good work bud.
That noise....DAF theme tune 🤣
Raising the lift axle on your trailer would have helped a little bit as it would have transferred more weight onto your tractor unit giving it more grip going up the hill.
@ Seale 1000 .... drivers and screwdrivers mate ....Knows more about UA-cam than trucks
Very enjoyable video thanks luke can't wait till next one take care
Safe travels Luke.👍
Truck driving is miles easier now than when I started no sat nav no mobile phones just maps to go by and the weather was a lot colder in winter .
Excellent vid Luke. Haven't watched one of yours for a while. Snappy editing and really interesting. Thanks.
Welcome back! Thanks for watching Tim
Liking the Google earth map at the beginning to show us where you was 👍
OMG Luke, you are a nutter - i wouldnt have tried after the second attempt. That could have been alot worse if you'd slid sideways towards the ditch quickly ! :D :D :D
Another great video.
Loved it Luke your a clever lad not only a class one driver with big balls you have some sick editors skills ❤

Well done Luke. Driving in these conditions makes you realize you're either a driver or an operator of a vehicle!! Maybe pack a snow shovel next trip!! ;-) Stay safe.

Serious respect to you trying to get up that incline - can’t be easy with the weight sapping your momentum.

well done your a pro
Incredible video and driving skills Luke. Always full of excitement when I see a UA-cam notification off this channel
I love your videos, currently watching this while recovering from having my appendix removed
Love the video buddy was thinking it was at this morning moment he knew he should of not had one ☝️ more try 😂 can’t wait for the next one 👍
God bless Tractors and farming vehicles.

With cars and vans, we have the option of winter or all-season tyres. Is there the same for trucks?
Great going Luke.. how about doing a vid showing how you do a prestart check on the model of truck you drive please :)
Awesome video and driving buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy
Great vid Luke my heart was in my mouth that’s no snow joke love ur honesty in ur vids
A very good Tuesday evening buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy

His skill nearly put his motor in the ditch.
God knows what your anxiety levels where on that hill but mine were through the roof lol 😆
That was definitely a close call with the ditch

Are you using standard tyres or all weather tyres?
I'm living in Finland at the moment and I'm using studded tyres on my car atm.
