Great video buddy merry Christmas to you and your family and a great new year ,,from an old trucker,,

We were on that road to Poitiers in September and the aire we stopped off at was very busy. We only just managed to park before the exit. Love these videos. I must book our France trip soon. We do Portsmouth to Caen.

Hi Ben, Trucker. Jenko put me onto your European vlogs and glad he did. Congratulations on reaching 10K subs. Best wishes for 2024 to you, Broughton drivers and all your viewers wherever they are. David Marriott, Derbyshire

Without doubt the best trucking vlogs 0n RU-vid no stupid music in the background

The rocade at bordeaux, at peak times not good, other times pot luck... Great info, love your banter. Rhondda lad now and forever. Great content again.... 😊🇫🇷🇫🇷

Nice One Enjoyed thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

Sherralyn rocks my freind ,And ned kelly and mo and grandad .

Fantastic video as always, I delivered 4D projectors to futuroscope back in 2004/5 an amazing place to look around if you get the chance.

Looking forward to this never of here now what with yourself and jenko have fab holiday and a merry Xmas you on there full time now or when needed stay safe thanks for the vlogs very interesting 👍

Hi am a new subscriber was told to pop over and have a look at your videos by trucker jenko liking what I see so far

Enjoy your holidays stay safe

Been past Futurescope a few times. Weird shaped buildings. Have heard its very good to visit. I think it was built way back in the 1980s, and looking at what the future of buildings will look like. But not sure. I think I heard that children will love the place. When we towed our folding camper (and later a caravan), we got ourselves a Liber T tag, and would use the HGV lane as the camper was wider than for the car lanes, and it was brilliant. Just drive through, very slowly, then ping, barrier went up and on our way. I remember Salamanca in the tv series Sharpe, about the Napoleonic Wars. There was a battle there

Really enjoying your videos and the commentaries. Must take a lot of patience to be a truck driver, especially when going through so many countries with so many different laws. I've been driving from Scotland to France for 27 years now, holidaying mostly in the south west. The myth is that French driving is horrendous but to be honest I find nowadays that the standard of driving in the UK is far worse. Would love to be able to afford to take a longer time off (maybe a retirement plan!) and travel through some other countries you've worked in as some of the scenery you've shown on your videos is incredible. Also like the way you explain a lot of things as it must be a big help to those who are thinking of driving abroad for the first time. Been to Futuroscope a few times, with the kids when they were younger, then again just for us adults as it's just as much fun! Definitely recommend a visit, but try and avoid peak French school holiday times if possible. Happy New Year to you, stay safe and look forward to your next video.

4 and a half plus 45 minutes break plus 15 hours plus 400 miles plus 15 minutes ,plus spread over 36 hours off . They make it so simple .

Was good to see your run into Castets spent a few nights in there. Shame it was dark. If my memory servers me right the roads in there are very rough. Be nearly 10 years since I came off European work.

Nice 1. Straigth run back i hope. Do ye have many out for xmas. Safe travels and happy Christmas to you and yours ☘️👍☘️

Excellent Yet Again What Happened @ Sivep ! | ! Why Does The Company On Run 6x2 Units Instead off 4x2 ! ! Can't Wait For Part Two Wishing You and Family A Happy Xmas And Please Stay Safe on Your Trips. 🔔🔔🔔🔔

Another great video Ben good commentary as always what's the situation on the ferries do you share a cabin with some stranger or do you have your own our super star RU-vidr Ned Kelly is adamant he will never share a cabin with someone he's never met and rightly so looking forward to part 2 and as for Sherrlin Ballard been following her for a while her video's are excellent loads of content great commentary a very enjoyable watch would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas 🎄

Kudos for no music on the driving time-lapse montage bits. Thanks

merry christmas guv 1st tour of 4 for the christmas period for me

Great video mate,futuroscope is a theme park based on cinematography and multimedia, pretty cool place actually

HH JUST NEW ENJOYING THIS VIDEO TRIP TAKE CARE BE SAFE HH KTF

Oh wow I haven't heard the name Parc Du Futuroscope since I went there on a school trip in the 90's! From what I remember, it's a sci-fi / technology based park and it featured a lot of top end cinema experiences, so was 3D at the time and I assume 4D now.

Futurescope is an interesting place to visit, made up of all sorts projected screen images and lighting design, 3D film shows, MAX Screen film shows, a celebration of all things cinematic.Also watched the Tour de France come past while we were there some years ago. I am always interested in your routes, so please advise your route Autoroutes or Routes Nationals through France. I have stopped on my way to Malaga many times at the Routiers at Castets, always great value meal stop, before the Foret de Landes and down to Irun/ Border. Great Vids, well done and very interesting.

New sub ben jenko put me onto you 😅

happy crhistmas Ben

Just what you needed to start your day off at 04.40 a right jobsworth on the gate

U should film the stops

Can you film more of food and service places etc

Hi Breeze,,, you & sherralin are the best trucking video’s on RU-vid,,, bar none . 👍

Hiya someone posted one of videos on a fridge drivers group so thought I'd have a look. Only been driving for about 2 and half years and to be honest I'm sat in a real easy comfort zone just fridge trunking on fridges on nights. European driving sounds alot more interesting but not gonna lie the idea also makes me a bit nervous lol. How does it compare to UK tramping? I did a bit of night out stuff early days and tbh teh truck stops are packed aren't they. Dont know how everyone manages to get parked up safely at night. I only did it a bit but maybe I need to do some UK tramping for real 🤔 good video. I'll keep watching :)

if you managed a unbroken 3hrs break customs the 9hr daily rest doesnt count as one of the 3 weeky 9hrs daily rest you can take as i understand it ,great video thanks.

Another brilliant video. Is French customs on a work to rule as there appears to be a lot of problems getting clearance from customs. Stay safe and take care

Thank goodness I don’t do this job anymore. Far too much hassle.

WHEN ON THE FERRY ⛴ WOULD YOU MIND SHOWING THE FACILITIES OF THE FERRY ⛴ STAY SAFE BUD 🙏

nice to see a video where the road is the star not the driver

Great video dude. Same bhp as Jencos Scania?👍

What’s it like working with the road legend Jenko? 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for posting, did you go all the way on A10 to Bordeaux? I think the N10 past Angoulème is quicker and no tolls, but interested to know what you think.

Not a trucker. But enjoy the content. Couldn't you go to San tender. Then you would bypass France?

When you speed the video up, it sounds like you’ve got pinky and perky in there as well😂

Futuroscope is theme park

YOUR GOING TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

Hi Breeze, sorry but the meal looked revolting,but I'm sure you must've enjoyed it

Hi Ben when on the motorsport job is it a different company or still Broughtons

Nice explained brother 👍🏼 What is the truck driver salary for freshers in Portugal brother ❓

Hi which camera do you use ?

Lidl cardiff

how does the booking work for going to the ports do you do it there or online or does the company do it

Are you allowed to keep the truck fridge on while on the ferry all night? I know it sounds a daft question, but was wondering with the fumes and everything if you do?

Thanks for the video. Would it be possible sometimes to tell us what load you are hauling..

cet le futur oskope
