Needs more reversing cameras. With all due respect I don't want to see his face when reversing. Try to get some pointed into the mirrors or before going in to places stick a gopro on the back.
Wincanton Transport were originally part of United Dairies, later Unigate Creameries. I think they were employed on bulk milk movement after the railway stopped transporting milk. I can remember Wincanton Transport being mentioned in the UD/UC staff magazine. And yes, they were based in Wincanton.
Luke, love the videos many thanks. Wincanton Haulage has been going for years (c100?), they used to shift Vinegars at 5,000 gallons a tanker load for Manor Vinegar to all the Heinz sites back in the mid 60s when I was uni-student working there making the stuff in the hols, and they were "old" even then. Keep up the good work.
Hi Luke It’s some time since I have driven a HGV as I am coming up for 77 but I just love your videos I watch every one I would love to have a day or to with you as that will not happen the next best thing is to watch all your videos, Keep them coming Luke.👍👍🚚🚚.
Love your positivity Luke, I used to drive all over Europe in an XF 105 back when they were manual 🙄. Can’t do HGV any more for medical reasons, but love the vids mate watched most of your older ones. Cheers lad.
Another Honitonion here, the strange thing is, I've also worked over at avalon farm recently doing the main switchgear. What a small world we live in. Great video
Currently 19, turning 20 in august saving up for my HGV licence in south wales (damn expensive) Currently a delivery driver for asda in a van, looking forward to getting my licence and these videos help lol.
Wincanton Transport did start in Wincanton. It was a subsidiary of a Guildford based dairy company who had bought a dairy in wincanton (they became Cow & Gate), they decided to open the engineering part of their business in Wincanton, which also included Transport. 👍
An excellent video as always Luke, do miss driving bigger vehicles since retiring, just drive a little minibus in the afternoon now, keeps me off the streets🤔😂 keep up the good work and stay safe! 😀🚛
OH! Another interesting fact about Wincanton... its twinned with Ankh-Morpork. Terry Pratchett used to live nearby, and there's a Disc World shop there.
I've noticed you're a very good backer-upper... some people can do, some are, as you would say, absolute knobs. I am spatially aware enough and can drive fairly equally backwards as forwards and can do a single trailer as well. Once did a double-trailer and for some reason that was the death of me.
Never watched trucking before ,looks a brilliant life ,I've just realised how difficult it must be to drive a hgv, I'll be more aware of the turning circle in future ,i didnt know all these breaks you have to have ,hats off mate ,by the way whats the black splat on the windscreen it's bugged me from start to finish ,great stuff
Correct me if I am wrong. Double lines need to be solid and continuous and not broken to be legal, and a T bar at each end. Worn Double Yellow lines are not true Double Yellow's anymore. When patch work has been done, I have seen yellow paint to join the yellow lines back up again. This law may well be worth checking for parking overnight on side roads. Also possibly photograph the broken lines before parking, incase should one get a parking ticket.
you always make me LOL when you miss pronounce the places you are going to. Honington is over past Bury St Edmonds in Suffolk you were at Honiton is in Devon
I was wondering if you got paid for a night out. My price includes 2 hours demurrage and any night outs. Thankfully I can choose my jobs being semi-retired. The truck has only done 180,000 in two years.
Fair play luke but some things made to look harder than others mate ! Been doing this 30 years! Give ya self more credit and £26 a night ain’t good enough 🤙🏻
@@lukecinahgv if you go through with the HGV can you tape it? I have done it but in a motor vehicle. It has always been the fun part of the drive through Swindon. I went to infant school near the roundabout before it was magically.
OMG thank god someone else has noticed it. I thought it was on my screen keep cleaning it lol but it won’t go away. It’s driving me mad please clean your camera Luke. Thanks. 😂😂😂
No idea mate. Never done it. I did once have a colleague who would get a ferry to Bilbao from Portsmouth. So that would probably be my starting point. And of course from Bristol, M32, M4, A34, M3 to the M27 to Portsmouth. Once in Bilbao, Spain, I would be guessing completely
Haven’t used the mask in a whole. Made more more uncomfortable at night which resulted in less sleep and more tiredness which is the opposite of what it’s supposed to do 😂 as I slept fine and didn’t feel tired without using it, I’ve gone back to not using it. As for the eye, I have good days and bad days. I have hylo eyedrops which basicly lubes it up. Long story short, when I ask my wife for the lube, it’s not the lube you expect.
@@lukecinahgv Count every successful day without slip ups or accidents or someone upsetting you in case they become a rarity. It's so easy to lose your ego and confidence when things go wrong and it can take ages to get your confidence back. I always say it's the job that's the adventure and the reward is that nobody's come to any harm. The film is all about doing the job properly and although we don't appreciate it, because we're so used to things running smoothly, what new drivers see as difficult will eventually be a piece of cake as you've just shown. I've delivered to those same places many years ago. I had the lorry loader CTA (Certification of Training Award) so I used to do brick and block deliveries with the hiabs and cranes, same sort of job except we called it tramping from one brickyard to another as we go around the country. That nutter who drove his tipper down the M5 near Avonmouth the other week with the body raised, must've left the PTO in. When I was a tipper driver we never drove with the PTO in ever. What's your opinion ?
Really?Wincanton seem to be losing some contracts but they are big big company . They trained me on Class 1 then put me on drinks contract but lost it within 6 months. So basically got Class 1 for free😂(from buses).
Yer exactly when you spend all that money to prove you are committed and nobody will look at you it makes me think what was the point. Been job hunting for 7 months and nothing.
That’s the maximum (note: maximum and not minimum) allowable before it becomes tax deductible, and that’s a concession made in order to keep the vehicle clean and tidy as well as bedding etc.There’s no reason why a company can’t add in separately a meal allowance though.
That’s where your wrong, there is money in farming, however by the time you take out costs of vets, insurance, stock, vehicle maintenance, staff, there isn’t a lot left to play with.
As a Truck driver my self, i enjoy listening and gaining tips from you Luke!
Still the best truck driver to watch on UA-cam

Wincanton also did bulk milk collection from farms with rigid tankers.

What's the latest on your lorry Luke??
Live in Somerset the newt is a cafe / country estate type thing very posh hope that helps !
My home area. Kind of miss the place sometimes
The company Wincanton used to be based in Wincanton, Somerset, but its now based in Chippenham, Wiltshire

6:48 he obviously wasn’t the sharpest tool in the box unless he thought you had an invisible forklift on the back, what a prat
hey luke! are you going to be at truckfest peterbough this year??
That iveco looks nice will you drive it one day
Do you know which way you will be coming into devon truck show the same way you came down in the video or from m5 at Exeter and up

Great video Mr C.

Keep up the good work
Brilliant vid again mate
That is one nice iveco don’t think I would ever say that but I have 😂 will u be getting one of them? Love the vids
Did they give you the annoying "vehicle turning left" truck back again?
16:26 is that Becky Gilles in front. St Mary’s livestock trailer?
Looks like it could be can’t zoom in close enough to confirm though.
I started watching some of the old vids back from when u was at jk they are good
Fair play luke but some things made to look harder than others mate ! Been doing this 30 years! Give ya self more credit and £26 a night ain’t good enough 🤙🏻
Wincanton did originate in Wincanton, but now has it's headquarters in Chippenham. 1925, I think.
Yep
Have you ever travelled through the Magic Roundabout? Either in motor vehicle or a HGV?
Yea loads of times. Easy
@@lukecinahgv if you go through with the HGV can you tape it? I have done it but in a motor vehicle. It has always been the fun part of the drive through Swindon. I went to infant school near the roundabout before it was magically.
I used to live in Wincanton
Glad it’s just not me that jumps to the left from on coming trucks.!
thank you from norwich
Hi luke are you getting a new truck
To answer you question regarding Wincanton at the start of the video 'The company's origins are in Wincanton, Somerset' according to its Wiki
awesome vlog as luke c in a hvg
I think wincanton was formed by 2 brothers from Wincanton
Another great.
Another great video
How is the house hunting going.
House found
Offer accepted
Just waiting for solicitors to solicitate 😂
😎👍
I work for wincanton. I have no idea to your first question 😅
You boys are going under 😂
Tell us again how good you are at reversing! 😂😂😂
I mean I’m alright! 😂
When im unloading or loading I put my ELD into off duty, then put down 5 mins on duty.
Maybe it's my adhd but that black spot at the middle bottom of the windscreen is very annoying
OMG thank god someone else has noticed it. I thought it was on my screen keep cleaning it lol but it won’t go away. It’s driving me mad please clean your camera Luke. Thanks. 😂😂😂
My brain is still trying to understand how that's a farm....if "carslberg did farms"...
Almost 70k subs I see
Yes Luke Wincanton comes from Wincanton
so luke if your boss asked you to go to spain from hristol area which way would you go and why ??/
No idea mate. Never done it.
I did once have a colleague who would get a ferry to Bilbao from Portsmouth. So that would probably be my starting point.
And of course from Bristol, M32, M4, A34, M3 to the M27 to Portsmouth. Once in Bilbao, Spain, I would be guessing completely
@@lukecinahgv brittany ferries plymouth to santander spain 2 sailings each week i do it week in week out
Sounds like easy work. What is it? trunking? Nice and relaxing on the ferry too. Sounds good

Your eye doesn’t look as sore these days? Is the mask helping at night?
