Some would say a pointless channel about my travels around the UK and Europe as a Truck Driver. The older videos are from when I was at PTM international driving a Volvo FH 500 and then a Volvo FH540. I have a couple from when I had a Scania R730 and most of the others are filmed in a Scania 650S. Some people find these interesting so have a watch and see what you think. Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Interesting & informative as usual. Poland is nothing like I imagined somehow - better roads & infrastructure. Thanks! Personally, I love these longer videos.
Really do not no how you have the patience and time to do these videos. I just about have time to Drive get on the Ferry or Train. Deliver. Reload and get back home. Have a rest and away again. My respect...
Your three blokes in a black car down a side street in the middle of the night might have been there for an "informal transaction" and wondering if you were the person they were supposed to be transacting with. If you ever do get cornered with a fuel nozzle in your hand you can always give 'em a faceful of refined hydrocarbons. Seen footage of it someone do it against 2-3 guys trying to steal their car, and it worked. One channel with a similar vibe to yours - calm experienced international driver sharing practical advice - is Lorry Diaries. She mostly goes to Spain.
Another top vid.👍am subbed to Matt Ireland as well,prefer these types,trundling along with no unnecessary talking,just relevant info and the odd memories!🤔👍👍🚛
Another great video Pete to be honest if you made it 4 hour one we would probably watch it all your stories and information is so interesting your Greece one was a cracking video Ned Kelly our RU-vid legend did one it was mega you should have a watch last long one for D G looking forward to the next one 👍
Talking of making a clown of yourself. A few years ago I went into a large supermarket at Suwalki just before the boarder with Lithuanian to buy a few cases of UHT skimmed milk, for some reason you can't get skimmed milk in Estonia. Found an assistant , "I'm looking for milk", shrugs her shoulders. time for sign language. I put two fingers above my ears and made a moooooing noise followed by the action of milking a cow, by this time I am being stared at by those near me. She smiled at me and indicated I should follow her. Loaded my trolley up and as I'm headed to the tills I see the assistant showing her mate how I asked for milk and having a good laugh, And the Polish word for milk, mleko. Great vlog Pete, as you can they bring back memories.
Im Heading through in question of myself here. as he heads to silecroft. I wonder if the old petrol station is still there . depending if turning left to Millom or Right towards Muncaster castle . . The parking area layby used to be a truckers layby and where the dridge is there was alvays traffic lights . Also the junction to go over corney fell . you could take a scania tractor unit over. im only 7 mins into watching
At 21:05 into the vid. The articulated lorries used to take that rout as a little short cut into Barrow from the garage junction in the dip slightly before the junction coming from the Whitehaven direction . Brilliant Scenery.
I dont know how i came across this brilliant vid as soon as the first second I loved this road Traveling wilh my best man in later years to come. J.C Hope and sons. Gosforth Haulage , Cumbria Titch Spedding in an old Scania 81 . it was always a main route for the ship yard and sellafield . Brilliant vid bringing back brilliant memmories from 1982 ❤
Did those highways many a time, interesting to look from the height of a truckers view. Got me own "mini-truck ( Defender) now, so it's always mountains, but white roads 😊, greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Fantastic video, watched to the end. I would’ve loved to have tried European work but never got the chance when I lived in England. Moved to Canada 16yrs ago, drove US/Canada for first 6yrs and then quit driving totally. The only way I’d move back is if I was offered European work, which will probably never happen lol
@AnonymousEuropeanDriver I'm a brit who came here for a 'holiday'......14 years ago 😄. I worked at the Kenworth factory here for 5 years, truck mechanic by trade. Love watching the trucking vlogs, keep them up mate 👍
Well I watched it all and enjoyed it,the Italian side of the Blanc and Aosta have not changed a lot but the french side with the run down has changed a lot since I drove down it too many years ago,have to admit I used to get to Aosta another way years ago ,look forward to more of your videos.
