Disastrous Day In Devon | Salvage Hunting | UK Trucking 

Meeting a bus on the road going into Chagford is fun and the people of Chagford love lorry drivers thats why you got a warm welcome 😂

When the residential roads are wider than the A roads, you know you're in Devon.

Did I miss the bit of the video where you were chased out of town by locals with Flaming Torches

Don't moan about our lovely Devon roads. Just think of the wonderful views as you come in, although views in Dorset are great also. Glad to see Pug is still safe. Drive safe

So glad I'm not the only one that gets panic attacks about roads like this 😅

I'm from Liverpool but I lived in Devon for 20 odd years and drove milk tankers down there for a long time so I know what those roads are like Kev. I also did a lot of Class 1 multidrop in Devon n Cornwall and I have no fear now of taking a wagon anywhere. Whats the worst that can happen? You've gotta reverse a while. Pain in the arse but no biggie. Thanks for taking me back sir. Its a beautiful county I'm really fond of.

You just love them narrow roads, and you keep finding them, you lucky bugger, another great video Kev. Drive Safe, Stay Safe.

Another cracking vlog Kev, don’t know how I missed this one, a touch tight in places, so as always good skills, been up some tight places with Coaches no fun,especially if they are fitted with P45 mirrors!! Bye bye Driver, nice knowing you!!😂😂 keep up the good work, keep safe!

Cart tracks in Devon built for horse and carts not today’s modern traffic well done Kev you are a braver man than me.

Great vlog kevtee

Excellent work kev

New straps on the truck... they look nice and clean, on the third job

Great video great driving again ad always

the joys of devon

Been there done that in a Coach Kev, I get you've got a few thousand judging your driving skills on video but getting through those villages with 50 odd passengers sitting behind you watching your every move is serious pressure. I know what you mean about the panic attacks. You bossed them towns mate 👍👍

They need to send you to Cornwall, suddenly Devon seems like a breeze! lol

It used be even more fun when the artics bringing timber out met on that road, got stuck there for more than an hour on more than one occasion. Great video, keep up the good work. Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrsssssss

When I was on for Evans we had to come through Chagford when bringing timber out from Fernworthy. Fun and games in an artic as you can imagine! The relief when you finally got to the A30 or A38!!

Them roads with a caravan on the back of my van.... yes I know.... I was that person, but I blame the satnav !brilliant vlog btw 👍

What a day ... Everyone/everything against you there keV🤔👍

Ah, Devon and its roads, the place I love and call home. You are right though Kev, can be a challenge in a car let alone a truck. Good driving skills 👌 👏 👍

Wow them tight roads had me on the edge of my seat well done for handling it well

As always your videos brighten my day. Thanks Kev

Enjoyed that Kev....Like it when you don't know what's round the corner.

i like the way at the start you put what was coming up like they do on normal TV shows.

I know that road south from Chagford so well, Keep clear of it in the summer when its full of Huge coaches full of Chinese and Japanese tourists. that's when it really gets frustrating.

It might have been an idea to check the place over with Google Streetview before you got there.

I gave you you'r 1k like. It actually was pretty satisfying to see it change from 999 to 1k😂😂 Anyways great video Again! Amzing driving kevtee! 😃

Also that A road is smaller than my garden path lol

Take that Scott Andrews :)

Kev, Truth is that there's not a single main road for which Devon County Council has responsibility which is fit for purpose. The only roads which come close are the A30 and the A38, which belong to Highways England. It's a disgrace, and it has been the case for the entire 52 years since I passed my test. At least it makes our Cornish roads look good! Keep up the good work!

The real good old devon roads nice to see

I live & work in Devon as HGV driver, they say, if you drive HGV’s in Devon you can drive anywhere. A roads are like B roads & B roads are like country lanes. Hedges are not cut back & other drivers MUST take caution even if there side is trimmed on bends. The land owners just don’t take hedges back & ive often thought I should put signs up in villages explaining their responsibilities of that & basically saying farmers are & locals are THICK & wreckless for not maintaining there land next to the roads

watching this and thinking "Kev waves at more people than postman Pat..." and then started trying to com up with a postman Pat style ditty... sadly (or perhaps just as well) I'm too tired to get far with it! Those little towns look like the sort of place where everyone lives a short walk from the shops but as they have a car they drive to the bigger shops somewhere else as it's easier than trying to park at the shops a short walk from the house and moan about the traffic that is everyone else driving to the shops...

Kev. I was born about 2 miles from Chulmleigh and went to school there. That’s proper Devon roads you were travelling on, they frighten the grockles to death especially when they see a tractor coming at them. Haha

You are getting all over at the moment keep up the good work mate

man I'm sweating just watching that

Superb vlog Kev and really really well done on those 4 collection's Kev until the next vlog buddy take care of yourselves and keep safe and well all of you Kev

Excellent work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care

Chulmleigh and Chagford, you really drew the short straw Kev! Dawlish isn't much fun either in the summer!

that was some good reversing! Running Hedging Stone from Davidstow to Malborough on the 8 wheleer tommorow.

Another great vlog mate, but I would hate to have been in your shoes!! Driving a 3.5T Van around Devon & Dorset is enough for me ;-) Well done and hats off too you though, you turned up, got the car and got back out again whilst biting your tongue in the process ;-) Surely for the second collection Trents would have thought to send the van though!! Nevermind though eh ;-) Hope you and family are well :-)

Just a normal day out in Kev Tee world.

Hi Kev yes the roads are like that in Devon I now as I used to live in Devon and hello form Southampton and another excellent video and hope you are staying safe and well

Can not wait to watch this always a great blog you do and amazing job you do

Dude I know exactly what you mean about people being a bit funny in small towns and villages. I drive buses and one of our routes has a timing point in such a village, if you’re waiting there any longer than about 2 minutes the lovely old dear across the road comes out into her garden, takes pictures and starts ranting at you that you shouldn’t be waiting that long, she’s going to report you to head office etc etc..... she especially loves it when you’re there early enough to switch your engine off and have a cig break 🤣. All good fun ain’t it, keep up the good work pal 👍

Ps, I took a shop front out in Chagford years ago, early in the morning, not the worlds most favourite person that day! Plus they can be pretty miserable in that town too with truck drivers, good old Devon eh bay! Lol 😂

I get nervous when you start backing up, Bad experiences years ago of being a passenger in a Debenhams removals lorry, One day we had to back up and an old boy had driven right up close behind, first we knew was when there was a BANG ! :o( , Also on a country lane an old boy was determined to get past after we stopped, he gouged a big groove all down his car but still kept going !

I suspect some of those towns were built shortly after the Romans left lol

To tight for comfort, superb reversing skills yet again, keep on trucking stay safe

And all the yokels are moaning about those big red lorries.....

hi kevtee good videos from daniel

I was there in Chagford a couple of months ago (holiday from HGV driving) and unbelievably I saw a Jenkinson wood products artic go up to the top of the road and turn right to do a collection at Fernworthy Reservoir. And I was wary about piloting my Yeti!!!

Towards the end, A35, right near where I live! So cool seeing places I know on here 👍🏻

good new straps

hi kev greetings from norfolk cheeeeeeeerrs and well done

Knightmare kev you must have loads of patience you done good really like your videos thanks @👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love ur latest vlog Kev. Keep up the good work Pal. Love it. 👍👍

seaton where i used to go on holidays with its narrow gauage tram to colyton and a nice cliff top walk to beer

Easy Peazy lemon squeezy, good job Kev 👍

Loving the choice of music :) Great vlog as always. Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers

Awesome vlog mate looking forward to be watching the next one keep safe

Proper Devon that is, Its lorries and buses getting stuck central, always fun and games, You should try the Hemyock-Culmstock-Uffculme road, always lorries-lorries, buses-lorries, buses-buses getting stuck, had a Landrover with Live stock trailer wedged between a wall and an Arctic, both were touching,, lost 30 mins on school run, the other week. Keep doing the good videos,

What a driver, top vlog Kev 👌🏻💪🏻

Great video Kev remains me of when you upset the villagers tight roads Cheers

Hey KevTee love the videos in the narrow streets bro. Next time you have to walk for a car, can you film from the go pro chest mount? Don’t worry about those small town idiots lol they are just bored because nothing ever happens there

Buttock clenching time! I've seen driveways wider than that "A road" ! Just shows the skills involved in driving trucks. Sadly not a lot of car drivers appreciate that fact.

Know that road well from my Tour Driver Days when i was on the coaches, Bought that road to a standstill many many times

My town is abit like that, we have a quarry near our town and trucks HAVE TO go through our village before they can get to the quarry, and you hear no end of complaints about them, gets right on my nerves, i've had people complain about me taking photo's of the quarry lorries in the past, what a place i live in haha

Ar,nt I glad I retired 6 years ago, I feel your pain.

That's a lovely road from Moretonhampstead to Newton Abbot you normally see artics flying though there not stopping for anything lol and when your are in Chagford remember it is a local shop for local people lol

Yea Chagford used to be my Monday morning 1st drop before Moretonhampstead and Bovey Tracy with a 7.5t always met an artic on that road

Try driving up and down the welsh valleys, tight roads and high drips lol. Good luck and keep safe

i kev good to see a good blog a gen keep them coming gary from crewe and when you going to do one on the volvo a gen

a tree surgeon and policeman hugged and said "well done" . this isn't a start of a joke. It just what me and a mate did after a very stress drive back from the beach 😅😅.

Well done ! Honestly , if l was to drive the "little" Renno down those roads , the cars l picked up would be in better condition than all the ones l destroyed on the side of the road getting to them !

Having lived in devon all my life them b roads and a roads are major roads to me

i work in exeter and my company tried to send in down by that collection you had in chagford i told them where to go lol that was in a 18t curtainsider. glad you had fun though mate lol

Good evening everyone from wellington Somerset

I don't know how you got out of all that. Good driving. You know when you drive I keep trying to look in the mirrors especially when you're reversing 😆 Bet you were glad to get home.

Saw you in Plymouth on 16 th first time I ever saw a trent vehicle in Plymouth then I noticed your number plate in your window with your name on I'm disabled in an electric wheelchair I was trying to catch you up to have a chat with you then you passed me heading back out again first time I have seen any of the people I watch on you tube in the flesh need to see Jenko now you two are the first of many I now watch

Good old Chagford Kev. Been there a few times with a Scania P 6 wheeler. Not fun. 😄

Be a bit painful Kev, good job you are just driving the Renault.😂😂😂😂

Doing a 12 hour shift driving today I feel like I'm doing a double shift lol had some tight 1s today in Leicester too

The thing is, the hedges aren't hedges - they're huge granite blocks. On that road yesterday, luckily in a Vito.

Great video kev keep it up

Well done for coping so well, and you did say liked the difficult challenging jobs 😀. Always get moaning minnies, she probably gives her hubby ear-ache. Just imagine being a newbie facing that nightmare of a run.

I take a timber artic through chagford! Great fun that is😅

that's Devon for you I guess (never been) it's not AN A road, it's just A road through Devon lol

i would class them roads as CYCLE LANES !!!

hi Kev i have picked up a mk2 cortina dark blue it runs very well take care & keep safe mate

Strange map that you're using Kev, the A382 is red on my OS map

That's nothing, what you on about lol. I live in the Cotswolds, we have roads even the dustman doesn't go down, residents have to bring their bins up to the top of the lanes and then the council only send a 1 ton flatbed to collect the rubbish! A while ago we had an Eastern European artic come through the village obviously following a satnav and got wedged between two buildings on the steepest hill up here, not helped he had about a 44ton lorry fully loaded, it took about two days to get him out as even heavy recovery trucks couldn't get to him. Then an Eddie Stobart lorry came through and took everybody's gutters with him, along with a load of road signs! If you ever have any collections from GL6 I'd take the day off Kev !!

Does your Trent's not have some 7.5 tonners it can send to these parts? I've seen a little Trent Isuzu down Peterborough way mind you it was on a 68 plate so maybe a new thing they're trialing out.

Contrary to popular belief the 'A' classification of road doesn't give any indication of the width or quality of a road. Being an 'A' road just means it's a strategically important route, and the fact that Kev is using it here is likely evidence of that - if there was a better route he would probably be using it! Now of course more often than not important routes get a lot of traffic, so tend to be higher up the priority list for being improved and upgraded so are probably better quality on average but obviously that's not always possible. Equally, in theory, you could have a nice wide dual carriageway that's classified as 'B' road if it's not an important route - although of course not likely because there is little reason for a road like that to be upgraded that way. So if the road between two places is an 'A' road but is narrow and twisty, it's probably because there isn't a better route between those places. That sat navs colour roads based purely on classification is probably not helpful.

I'll bet you wish you were still driving that Volvo artic KevTee.

Those roads and towns are ridiculous! People park their cars everywhere!

My mum lives round the corner in the first bit of the vid

I would love your job 🙂

Hey Kev, I used to deliver goods to all those little town you went to, but I used to go there at 3am - 4am in the morning to avoid all the traffic you had to deal with, as you rightfully say you have to look about a mile ahead, and watch out for the kamikaze pilots!! Cheeeers Steve 👍🏻
