The official channel for beautiful Buffaload trucks. We are on the road to being the greenest and most efficient temperature controlled logistics network in the country, working with like-minded retailers and food manufacturers to meet our goal of being carbon neutral by 2023.
Why would any driver want the extra hassle of using a double deck trailer when most are being paid enough for using a standard rigid or curtain sidereal but their employers are transporting at least twice as many pallets in some cases no benefit for drivers whatsoever unless you are an owner driver
Did you ever notice how all the demonstration videos for coupling and uncoupling are done with new or very clean trucks and on a very nice weather day ? Nothing wrong with that but it would help to show the process on a bad weather day on an old dirty piece of equipment too.
To load pallets on our Double Deckers you have to raise and lower the rear suspension so the bay dock ramps can fit. When you are loading the top deck the suspension has to be lowered with the trailer air removed to allow this to happen, then to load the bottom deck you have to raise the suspension with all of the trailer air at its maximum again so the bay dock ramps can fit, so we have 2 safe loading/unloading heights of our Double Deck trailers.
We have these trailers you standing on the trailer at the back like that is not safe when bringing floor down is a no no you are right on the edge you can fall off we only lower floor from the out side of trailer. Or in side warehouse only we do what you did we would be sacked Can not see way you would stand so close to the end
The instructor does say that normally the trailer is placed on a bay so the driver has no access to the internal trailer buttons, he does say for showing (Training) this is what the buttons do, though in the real world you would never use it like this. We chose not to film from inside the chiller so as not to interfere with operations on the day.
Minimum wage? Thats £11 something. Im getting £19 an hour up here in Scotland with 4 12 hour shifts a week. Can be higher elsewhere. The days of truckers getting minimum wage are long gone
Hello Mark, we don't do apprenticeships for drivers but we do take on new pass drivers. At the moment we have a couple of driver jobs at our Ellington site (14 December 2023) but our driver workforce is pretty settled, this is the first time we've had jobs available for months and it's extra cover for Christmas peak.
Make another one with manual entry but changes time on the end of shift not start, also show couple different tachos maybe older ones just for education
@@buffaloadtv5289 hi im starting a class one work on weekends only as i work in different sectors on the week days how can i record the other work for the week days please
I think the biggest issue is long shifts and long working hours for a week. Most jobs these days full time is 37hrs to 40hrs with 8hr or 9 hr days. Yet HGV jobs are very long days and way above this.
There is only one other in the UK. It belongs to a search and rescue group but I've currently forgotten which one! I will update when I remember where I read it!
