Nothing worse than trying to get to sleep with your head pointing the wrong way.🤣🤣 Thanks again for a really interesting video, love the commentary especially the snippets of information you throw in. No faffing about with the reversing today, even though it wasn't busy.😆😆 Safe journeys.
Just love the positive attitude, there you are on a strip of tarmac barely wide enough for a truck saying that maybe the place I need but will go on a bit further. If it is the place I can always turn around and come back to it🤣
Loved the video sherallin , you went through my home town of Boston & past my old drinking hole the red cow pub in Boston , bought back a few hang overs lol , stay safe and keep on trucking xxx
Hi,good evening how you doing hopefully you are ok another great video you're snippets of laws and regulations are very much appreciated as i am retired it good to keep up to date i know you said you're not an expert but the problem with tachos its so called experts that thought of them you are the best i have watched a few driver channel but you speak to folk the way you wish to be spoken to with a word or two we don't hear enough these days civility and respect please don't change Lady regards and best wishes from Scotland🇬🇧🏴🚛🚜
On a trip like this the overall mileage and hours driving would be interesting I have done Murcia region to Leicestershire approx 1400 miles living in the murcia region now
Another interesting and enjoyable video, thank you. Your tacho showed km lorry travelled. I reckon that’s about 547,000 miles or so. Still on same engine etc. ? Final road to delivery looked narrow for artics! Hope all’s well with you and yours. Regards, Phil, Suffolk👍😁
Enjoyed that as usual Sheralin, I noted how nice and friendly the people normally are at UK places even though the rest of it leaves a lot to be desired esp for us drivers. Keep up the good work, greetings from Denmark.
Glad you enjoyed it. Not all places are good, the supermarket RDC’s can leave a lot to be desired but I try to be pleasant with everyone, even when they’re not with me. 😁
Good morning Sherralin 😊 yet another great video 👍🏻 Loved the truck stop in Spain 🇪🇸 As before I don’t do European 🇪🇺 driving anymore so it fantastic coming along for the ride with you 🤩 I’m on uk domestic rules but still love seeing you showing EU tachograph rules as you can never have enough information on the most complicated driving rules ever made up 🙄 Take care as always Stevie xx
I really enjoyed this video. I liked the country scenery its such a great looking country when its lush and green. Some of those back roads look like they could do with a bit of resurfacing lol.
Hi Sherralin, another lovely video. Have to comment on the book someone sent you. As well as a retired (long time ago😄😄) Euro truck driver, I'm also love train vids. As a die hard v8 man, ( my own range rover,case in point) I love V engines 6, 8 10 +++ as in loco engines. Waffle, waffle but Mongolian rail channel has fantastic train, ulaanbattar scenes, and yes, seems a place to visit. So I understand why the book was sent. Have a RU-vid Google, seems a fantastic place Enough...., thanks again , you take care. MARK uk
Yep, Ulaanbaatar looks really interesting. Charlie Boardman & Ewan McGregor went there when they did Long Way Round, Mongolia looks an amazing place. I’d love to tour it but don’t know how safe it would be on my own, I’ll have to look into it.
@@GBtrucklady thanks for reply. I'm sure there's a safe tour company out there. Seems a lot of people like to visit. Channel on you tube is Mongol rail🚆🚇🚞. There's other drive around videos too.😊😊😊👍👍 MARK uk
By the look and the state of the roads I thought you were coming into Stafford on the second delivery keep em lit girl looking forward to seeing the next video you keep me sane girl Reggie xxx
Nice stuff again, it's like a trip down memory lane. I wasn't paying attention to the last bit and I though you were out on the Fens round some of the Walpole areas, then I realised where you were. I used to do potatoes from Scotland down that way as the company I was pulling for wouldn't go to Liverpool market so we did drops round there and the local guy would haul them in on the night runs. We only use road trains out in the country. A doubles ( 2 trailers with a dolly ) are permitted into some metropolitan areas., but only on specified routs... . B doubles (2 trailers connected with a 5th wheel at the rear of the 1st trailer) can go into a lot more metro areas. I often drive B doubles in to the Sydney fish market 3 nights a week, that's right under the harbour bridge. But you have to be out before 6 AM or you've got to split, and do dog runs out to Paramatta. I never got to Mongolia, but I did a few runs to Corgos ( Horgos ) on the Kaz - China border when I was driving for Trans Mondo, out of Cordenons N/E Italy... Have a looked at Jonos mates channel Ken .. Homeless Trucker ? Happy trails.....
At gorehall if you went up the round about turn left through village called bank or the village tarleton before you turned right are better routes in & out worked around there now for 30 years doing wholesale fruit & veg
Can't understand why they just don't change the rules to a 14 hr spreadover per day and 10 hrs off per day then there's no worrying about how many reduced rests and extended driving stints you've done
Bring back the tachograph and the paper clip lol, your know what i mean if you have been driving long enough. Eva been in to Gomez in Bridge in Kent. stay safe out there.
He lives in a town called cuisery with a lovely french wife ask round to all the old timers do they know the restaurant and parking area as well as a famous restaurant near st dizier
Briene was owned by my mate it was half way house as it was known as back in the early 90s we done istanbull for years along with the men from Essex transport my mate phill still lives in france
They were all cafe/restaurants/bar/truckstop type places. Fred’s is in Coslada (although it’s in a different place to where it was originally. It is now just a local cafe at the bottom of a block of flats, with no parking the last time I was there) Victors was on the N1 (non existent now) and the Cabbage patch was on the bottom of N10 at Bordeaux, (also non existent now as it lost it’s alcohol licence and was closed by the local council. It’s now part of an industrial estate, but the bp post is still there) Hope that helps you?
Hi thanks for watching. Yes drivers get what’s called “night out money”. This tax free rate is set by the government and industry bodies. The rate depends on the area you are in, roughly it between £25 & £35. The rules for the tax man can be very confusing but basically you need to have receipts.
Lincolnshire is as good as the root vegetable growing capital of Britain! The plastic sheeting on the fields is to supress weeds and warm the soil to bring the harvesting time of certain vegetables earlier than normal. Neighbouring Nottinghamshire seems to specialise in growing carrots!
but there is american trucks in uk as in used to drive a Kenworth W990 XXL sleeper withg large bed kitchen and bathroom with shower and toilet but i only used motorways here in uk as i had regular contracts so it was same jobs all the time
People dont get your bed slightly sloping the wrong way ,to me its like being hung upside down. i hate it even my wheels on a curb makes my bed slope , I can only sleep one way head behind passenger seat .
Well that was a bit of a rat maze to get to your second drop!! Wouldn't like to do it at night....as usual you nailed it!! Bravo!! Riding shotgun with you from New Orleans
@@GBtrucklady Not really, just you were close to where Klopp lives a bit of info thats's all. Maybe you don't know what night soil was, well all big cities had human waste to get rid of, it was called night soil and was delivered to farm land by truckers of the day and that's why the soil became so fertile, just a bit of info that's all.
Thanks for watching. 😂😂 Although Lancashire and Cheshire (only Shropshire in between us) are further north than Herefordshire, I wouldn’t say I was a southerner 🤷🏼♀️😂😁
Hi we work on the transic which is connected to your tacho which allows you to work 7 days as all our minutes are calculated DVSA FREAK OUT lol I did ask before can’t remember when is your brother called Alan he works at spires doing markets
Yep I’ve got a Tom Tom, I’ve had it years, just update it once a month, no idea what model it is. I also use Google maps if I’m not sure if I can get in somewhere. I walk the little man along to check. If I’m still not confident I can get in I’ll call the company to check the route.
