A day in the life to a bulk haulage driver. Starting in a lay-by on a busy road, navigating the narrow roads of Devon to rush hour and busy city’s with a couple of stressful service stations visits
Yep really missed the updates. I saw a Wains truck outside Harpers a couple weeks ago I waved and flashed lights and some bloke looked up 😂😂 must have thought I was nuts.
Hello from Nashville, Tennessee. I love seeing the countryside and the small villages you drive through. I'd love to take a holiday and drive through some of the areas that I've seen in your videos.
Hi Jemz 💎. So pleased to see you back, I was a bit concerned that you were all ok. A great start to the weekend. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, take care and safe driving. ❤
Just found your channel. It’s educated me a lot about the life of a hgv driver. I’d never have the confidence to drive a big rig. I admire your confidence backing in to some of those narrow spaces. I’ll watch out for you when I’m out on the road 👍
Joe Public doesn’t know the stress and that feeling you get after finding a shower that works whilst living on the road.. I’ve ended up buying a shower that I can charge in the truck and then hide in the trailer and have one as the facilities in the U.K. are that bad! Great video Jemma,rather you than me down those country lanes!😬
i live in British Columbia Canada ,i retired from trucking about 12 years ago,we have electronic logs here too now but were still using paper logs when i retired .i cant believe how restrictive your hours are right down to the last minute,like you said your off duty time is supposed to be for relaxing but if you have to keep such a close eye on the clock the whole time that must be very stressful,you are doing a great job by detailing your movements as you go along and describe what you are doing.i did dump trailer work back in the 70"s and still remember having to watch out for wires and roof corners etc. keep up the good work. yogi.
Onboard scales and only one trailer plus you get 45 min rest breaks. Easy life 😉. I have to self load 2 trailers with good guesswork so as to not overload on axle groups and I only get 20mins break after 5 hours duty time 😉. Onya though Jemma for trucking in Blighty. It's not for the faint-hearted. I left it behind over 10 years ago now after having a gut full of English winters. That's what gave me the determination to move to Australia and drive roadtrains. It took a while to get sorted but that's what I do here in Western Australia. No more freezing temperatures for me🙂. If you ever fancy a change of scenery, look me up. Also, I've not heard the word "lorry" spoken for yonks😆. Love it!
Just found your channel and really enjoyed this, thanks. I do a lot of driving through France (car, not lorry) and am always blown away by the difference in the vast quantity of lovely places to stop over there compared to in the U.K.
Welcome back Jemma! I drove passed you on Thursday evening when you were in the lay-by on the A38 - would've stopped for a quick hello, but didn't want to disturb you! Keep the vids coming😀
Hi Jemma, Great to see you back again. I was afraid you might have been kicked off, like one of Luke C's friends. Presumably that was because of an imbalance between video time and work time. But you're OK - that's the main thing. When I hear your dilemmas about hours, driving time and so on, It makes me appreciate just how free I was driving a small van! Brian
Great Video just stumbled across your YT channel. Excellent to see a young woman showing the guys how to do it correctly and legally well done I will continue to watch your channel 👌
Hello Jemma new to your channel how nice to young ladies driving trucks, love the way you talk through what's going on, our breaks when I 1st started driving were 3 15mins or a 20mins and 25mins to make up to the 45mins I am now 64years young lol keep up the good work😊 🎉
Hey Jemma, I’ve just found your channel and it’s bloody fascinating. So this is just a shout to keep going. I know what it’s like to hit the RU-vid wall and don’t even what to think about it for weeks on end…. But the old Al Gore -rhythms don’t like that. Keep pushing if you can, the pressure will lift and you’ll be glad you hung onto the channel. It gets tough, but it really is worth the hassle and you’re taking off a treat!
Good to see you back, I always look forward to your videos. It's always fun to see your driving skills, You make it look so easy! Please stay healthy and be safe until the next time. From Utah USA
Great video you look like you have a interesting job I work for the place you’re showering bag advertising is so pretty boring I was a tramper for years still miss it good to see you back 😃
Hi Jemma this has made my weekend seeing you back YouTubing for your channel and supporters , the vlog was absolutely amazing with lots of miles covered in one card , stay safe and keep on trucking xxxxxx
Hiya Jemma, great to have you back 😊 I hope you had a lovely Xmas/new year? Brill video as always, they're always a fab start to weekends ❤ stay safe, our queen of the road 😎
At least you got a shower even if it's luke warm, when I was driving, 1980's into the 90's you were lucky to get a shower once a week ! most of the time it was a strip down wash from your plastic bowl outside the truck with water boiled in the kettle, all very well for blokes but difficult for the Ladies. Good quality fully serviced truck stops were few and far between in the UK then with most only having a sink and toilet if that, different proposition in Europe when I was on the Italy run.
Yeehaa, Jems is BACK! I had some great holidays in Kingsbridge growing up. Loved it! Hope the renovations went well. Welcome back, missed my coffee and Jemma vlog on a Saturday morning 🏴👍💯👋 ps, happy new year.
Welcome Jemma great to see you back best wishes and best of health to you and those dearest to you hope all is well best wishes with the truck on the road cheers Declan 👍👍🙏🙏
Great share enjoyed the video. Morning coffee and watching the great journey you shared. Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down. Stay safe and take care 😎
Welcome back 😁 The shower situation at UK services is disgraceful. I wonder if there a way of sharing your videos to the various companies responsible 🤷🤔
