Driving a skip lorry. Is it really that bad? Part 1/2 

So amazing truck driver..im so proud...new friend here giving my full support in your home..

That looks lovely up there with the snow. Passed my class 2 hgv test last Thursday so now on the look out for skip work, I have heard so many horror stories of being kept waiting at RDC'S to be unloaded I am definitely going for skip work, have a good week and stay safe 🙂

Amazing making me miss my home country never done skips would love it up there

Been skipping for 3 years now and I love it tbh. Every day is unique with different jobs etc.. Keep on trucking mate 👍🏻

Awesome cracking views and I love being a skip driver wouldn’t do anything else.

What a amazing landscape! yes, the roads are narrow, but its still better than spending your life on motorways, I guess. At least you can go home after you knocked off every day, and dont have to sleep in the truck.

There is a very large difference between driving up there on the Isle of Skye and in parts of large cities, such as London or Birmingham. Some days must be very difficult in those situations.

Looks beautiful with all the snow 😊

Hi can I ask how much do they charge per ton when you tipping the mix waste Thanks

Thanks for sharing

Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I do this job myself, and the hardest parts of this job is trying to find somewhere to drop your trailer, and when you do find somewhere to leave it, sometimes you have some pillock parked Infront of it. Then there's getting to the skip and you find cars and vans parked around it blocking it. Sometime people just move their vehicles, other times nobody knows who's car or van it is so you either have to try and drag skip out without hitting the vehicle or just leave it. Sometimes in bad weather you can get your truck stuck on the landfill site and have to wait ages for a bulldozer to pull you out! It's not a bad job really but can be a pain in the arse in the rain. Sometimes I've been soaked to the skin only 30 minutes into my shift! 12/14 hours later, you're still soaking wet!! Can be very miserable, especially if your day is going to shit with some of the things I've just mentioned.

How are you finding the Waste Logics system? Just been looking into so we can go paperless.

Hi, thank you for the video, I'm just starting my adventure with skips, I'm driving a 2011 Scania, maybe some advice, thank you very much, best regards Piotr 👏🤝🚚🚚🚚🏅🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi I am in the process of doing my hgv and wondering what I could earn as a skip driver...any ideas ? Thanks

Grava mais vídeos mostrando o equipamento la atrás. Ok 👌

class 2 myself, would not do that job ever.

I've been a skip driver for 4 months now... Thing is it really depends entirely on the company you work for and the workload they expect. You can get the truck in most places if you take your time, they are very small, one thing to consider with the work though is There are a lot of things that can go wrong, like chains getting stuck, skips getting stuck together, parked cars and site access, difficult customers, just to name a few, If you have an understanding employer all of this is fine. Unfortunately though a lot of them are not.
