join me for a day of my worklife as an HGV driver in scotland,POV and in-cab views of scotlands trickiest landscapes and cities,and even trickier building sites :)
Is it possible for more view when you are unloading on site’s keep the videos coming I like watching them all I live just outside of Kirriemuir in Angus a little village called Westmuir
im trying to but its not always possible for various reasons,IE its a company's yard that wouldnt appreciate me filming or the builders dont want to be on camera and sometimes its such a small amount its not worth trying to film.Will deffo try for more tip videos though,thanks for watching and giving feedback!
Is a flatbed a "van"? I used to work in a hotel and the linen company used to call their Class 2's a van too and I always thought that was odd 😊 (not that I'm saying you're odd 😅)
It's a running joke amongst class2 drivers,artic drivers usually claim a class 2 is just a big van and so we can't call ourselves "truck drivers" I drive both so I know the ups n downs of both 😊thanks for watching!
there was an error with the GFX effect at 8:11 so i blurred it out,it gave wrong location,i was actually on the a74,London Rd in glasgow,hopefully no confusion on where i was lol :)
A lot of Canadian truckers use the engine brakes (or Jake brakes) to show their annoyance and other drivers as they make a lot of noise. Mind you I hear a lot more engine braking in Quebec.
Even when there's not much "action", just listening to you chuntering away is pretty entertaining. I love the Bill Burr podcast as he just chats away about whatever is in his head, and that's what i like about your vlogs, it's like being in the cab with a mate and just having a chat.
I'll keep that in mind when I'm editing,I get carried away talking nonsense when I'm filming and end up cutting alot of it out lol.thanks for watching and glad you enjoy the videos!
That was my goal with the positioning,so you can see what I see,cant always grt driver side mirror in tho so use the back facing cam If I can,thanks for watching!
@@stuckinatruckscotland yeah makes sense. Cant quite make out your accent. Lothians somewhere.? Sound like Lewis Capaldi or Dean who has the channel - one bike one world.?
All drivers now not interested in helping courtesy out the window every one in rush to get somewhere 🤣 and van drivers aint bad its private taxis and merc drivers are terrible
Need to multiply my dad by 5000 and you'd have been able to go 2 mins earlier. He drives like there is no political will! Probably because he doesn't need to as he's retired from whatever he was doing before. Probably explains why I was late to year 1 school 27 times 😂
thats how it is most of the time on sites for me,but like i said in the video i get mildly put off having the camera on my head lol,and some people dont like being recorded which is the case in my next video lol,thanks for watching!
@@stuckinatruckscotland The A82 around Loch Lomond is an interesting one in an artic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w7DgweG-Ym8.htmlsi=IUZ9G7gwf3RzxvDL
just watched your clip,ive only had the need to use that section of the a82 a few times,based in edinburgh so unless im into glasgow then oban ive no need to go near that top side of the A82,its not ideal that section lol :)
i used to do Edinburgh to Manchester (Stockport) and back again 5 nights a week in a vivaro van it gets bloody tiring on the motorways as you say used leave 5pm and get home at 3.30am when the weekend came I was too tired to spend my wages
Most people wouldn't give it a second thought as to how supplies for the construction industry actually get there? Also most car drivers do not realise the tonnage or dimensions of trucks that deliver all the "Stuff", we say we need. Great to see it from your professional point of view. Take care out there, i found you by accident, but have now subbed. I once witnessed a woman driver in a fiat 500, squeezing into the left hand lane of a two lane one way system, where all other traffic had given the truck room, but she didn't think. So the truck in the outside lane, indicating left, needing the room to turn left started to turn, the fiat was in the blind spot and got pushed onto the edge, left hand stuck against barrier, right hand door caved in neither door can open. Trucker oblivious carried on. We were on the fifth floor of an office block laughing our bits off. Before car/van drivers open their mouths, they should learn to read the road.
people creeping up the inside when were trying to make wide turns is a regular occurence sadly,but i try to be as aware as possible of whats behind me before i make the turn:)Thanks for watching and subbing! I appreciate it :)
I'm not sure bud,this is the only company I've worked for lol,I hear NWH are looking for drivers,sure they take new passes aswell 😊good luck and thanks for watching!
They are putting cameras in class 2s facing the drivers!! Spying on you all day. Not cool atall. What if u forget to cover on your break whilst you have your afternoon rub?
Edinburgh is the worst for road closure the sign is usually right on top of the closure so no warning, and I'm from Edinburgh and your so right about the drivers but I don't actually blame them it's the clowsuls fault with no road schemes they've brought you drive around and disappear up your own chorus n verse
Its almost as if they close the roads and say lets see the state of these guys now. Like they sit bk and laugh at you. So many times i am driving tye opposite way from where im tryin to go in edin.
Van drivers usualy helpfull with being in bigger motor but that guy was absolute 💩head but then again its a bloody delivery driver so oblivious to the world prob stairing at his phone. Down side to being in company motor cant shout n swear at the tossers
Got the man flu and 3 points o contact getting off trailer dont jump as 1 ul do your knees in and 2 you look 9 month preg you dont want to hurt the baby now do you 🤣
