Probably the best advice I can give you is to have patience, to pay attention to everyone surrounding you, to take your time before you take any further action and to make sure you, the vehicle and the goods that you're carying are all safe. Kind regards.
Subscribed as soon as I heard you speaking to the lady about 20 minutes in. So polite and respectful we are lucky to have you over here. Can't wait to watch more!
Thank you so much and you are more than welcome. I love to respect people especially if they are kind and nice. Would love to see a better world one day. Kind regards.
Preperation is key for doing class 2 multidrop work. Google map / Street view your run before you even leave the yard so you know exactly where each drop is. Spending 15 minutes planning your run before you set off saves you loads of time down the road and the stress of getting lost trying to find places. The tomtom HGV satnav is worth every penny too, its the best HGV satnav by a mile.
Very true. I should actually do that. That's quite a good tip you know, thank you. I will get a TomTom satnav. I'll buy myself a present for this Christmas lol
When u multi drop class 2 do u put taco on tools every drop? I did my 1st day on taco 12.5hr shift 19 drops but forgot to change taco each time I stopped... drive time showed 4.5hr in the end so legally no break is that right?? TIA
Great manor, top customer service, total respect these are the qualities that set us apart from the others that often goes unnoticed but we can hold are head high and be proud well done pal total respect
Hello Robert! I have seen you on Raul's channel and your video's have been in my recommended recently, It's nice to see something different, you're video's are unique (in a good way) haha, i'm definately subscribing lol
Nice vlog Rob. It helped give me insight to multi-dropping, I have an interview for a class 2 multi drop job on Tuesday and hope I get it. It will be my first HGV job so I’d appreciate any advice you could give, also subbed.
Yes Robert I've not messaged you before but here goes. Your videos are and have been very inspirational for me ,you do great work each day. I am studying and saving for my HGV 2 driving course, which I hope to continue in the new year. I too much prefer if you did more videos with the camera fixed to your windscreen and placed in a position in the back of the wagon as I too have been getting motion sickness from your head cam. Keep up the good work. Hubert
I can see you're a hard worker and courteous, but you should keep the doors of the truck closed when you have the pallet placed on the tail lift when doing a delivery. A person nicked around £2,000 of tobacco from me in the past before I had the chance to chase him he was away in his car with the goods. Good customer service skills helping the old lady.
Thanks a lot mate for your kind words. I really apreciate that you did enjoy watching this episode and yes that's totally a good tip offered to me and my future security to lock everything including the back doors or shuter. Yes totally agree with that mate. Thank you and I am feeling sorry for what happened with you that time.
Why are you unloading the pallets? It's not your job, and if you get injured due to doing that insurance won't cover and you'll be on SSP for a few weeks or months. Stop doing it!
You are right ,you can,t take the money with you. But it is better to cry in the back of a rolls royce than crying in a skoda. you are a great philosopher hahahaha But you are a good bloke.
Thanks for good content Robert, been watching your video for few weeks now my hgv class 2 training starts on Thursday, your video helps from a hgv driver perspective which is what I need👍🏽...
Never done it but I assume if you know where the customers are and you know your way in, access, stuff like that, then would make the life easier, especially with a drivers mate to help you out
Hi. I do the same job as you and I wondered how you can do your job with such a shitty tail lift? My own truck has a wireless remote control that raises, lowers and tilts the tailgate to different positions and does not need to be lifted separately from under the car each time, but is immediately ready for use. Those tail lifters you use look like Stone Age when compared to what we use here in Finland.
hahaha I know what you mean mate. Yes you are right. I suppose to use that protective flaps to make the delivery safe, but I find it a lot more difficult. The tailift is not that great either..
Great video. I'm knackered just watching 😂the amount of graft you have to do is mental... thought I had loads to do for morissons delivery driving 😂but this is crazy
Put it in the back driver, sall i put the price tacks on it too for you ,Men what a shitty job if you have to do this at all the shops than you need to spend two days. Yopu are a realy good person.
I have a question when u load your truck how do u know where the palettes are going too?. yes u have the the papers but do u load the ones that need to be one last at the back ect
Forklift driver let me know which one is going to be so I have planned to maintain the weight balanced all over the length of the box and in the same time making sure that I have got exactly what do I need.
So I just started doing multi drop work in a lil' 7.5T van, it's amazing how some customers seem really angry with one for bringing them the stuff they ordered. I don't get it. Like my guy I'll just drive off with it again if you're that put out sorry it's been a day XD Love this video and your friendly, philosophical personality :)
Thank you for your good understanding and yeah, most of the time you can bring the whole world at their feet and they are still complaining 😂😂 God bless 🙏👍🏻
I’m a class 1 driver from Scotland. Stumbled across your channel about a hour ago been sitting watching a few of your vids. Very enjoyable. Subscribed. Keep truckin 🛻
Thanks mate. I need to do my CPC courses first and to sort some other things first and after that probably I will give it a try see how it goes. Yeah I know it can be difficult but not impossible. Well if it will be any offers from Hermes or DPD I will think about it, cheers
Nice video Robert. Next week i'm going to start working as a hgv class 2 driver for the first time and your video really helped to get an idea about the job.
From where you went in Heswall utill got through the tunnel. That is wirral and its apart of Merseyside but it used to be apart Cheshire so that why it's got that post code
Doing my class 2 test next month and was a pleasure watching to see what i'm getting into, was wondering what head cam you use as its good quality, Keep on trucking......
Afternoon Robert I did my first truck job to Ely a pig of a job all farms so alot of dirt track roads being bounced about I thought all the pallet would be all over the place. Ran out out of driving time getting lost but I'm sure it will get better
The 2nd drop .... Kerbside.... get a helper in for the mornings its Kerbside delivery...Move on... taking the mick out of you. No chance I would off been doing that. Unless you're being paid to do that.
you shouldn't let that lady speak to you like that am class 2 driver too and i only delivery on kebb there need to supply the help it's not the driver job to bring it in side.
well done mate,i would have given you a hand if i could.i did a few class2 jobs and enjoyed it but not so many drops. im back at sea now and life as a seaman is okay for me now at 60 years old.a bin wagon would do me fine though lol.
Top job man keep it lit and safe travels. What is the odds of that happening asking the next door neighbour to White House farm for directions. Very polite and helpful lady I like those kind of people.
What’s the best job for a new class 2 driver with handy hours family wise hopefully will have the full license soon and any tips for the test any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍great vids watching them all
I don't know what it will be the best hgv class 2 job for you mate as it depends from person to person, from expectations you have, if you have got family and kids then look for something with less hours, apply for jobs go to interview and tell them what you want see if you can find what you want. I wish you good luck in your research. Watch all them videos and you will find plenty of tips and life experiences mate. Take care mate
@@RobertMihalache thanks Robert yes I have kids and a family that’s the thing il have to find something with handy hours if I can watched all your videos there great and I watched raul689 he’s also Romanian and he has some great videos also thanks for the information much appreciated pal stay safe🚛👍🇮🇪
one day i hopefully move back to wales, my mum lives in north wales. every trip i make 3-5 times a year i always take the long way. fast way m6, m54, a5 but only do that on Christmas day as roads are very quite, the way i take normally is head south then west and cut right through Hereford, and head towards a44, then what ever mountain route i decide. 99% of the time i take the long way, but each time i go a slight different way and can spend hours on single track lanes, some roads are just gravel roads full holes. average 5-12 hours depending on time of year but do love driving through Wales. if you keep doing remote drop off's we might meet on one these single tracks one of these days. those y junctions, i think they are both two way or thats how i do them. as i think a t junction and large transport would not mix. glad to see you not rushing in to those blind corners as so many do :)
Wales yes I love Wales, what a nice country and friendly people. Yes going on country lanes can take less time sometimes unless is a trucker stucked there somewhere lol, well is very understandable as the road gets very narrow is basically a dead end anytime soon. Is so nice to explore the country on different roads isn't it? Yes I don't like to rush I like to do the things slowly and then I can do them everytime :-) Take care mate thanks for the comment.
@@RobertMihalache Yep mate, talking of dead ends. i remember 1 month after passing my test and i was taking a cut through, i thought it was just a narrow cut through the woods but on a paved road, passed a cross road what was like an off road move with wheel leaving ground on one corner, and this was still paved. carried on climbing the very steep hill, the road slowly turned to gravel, then i had to stop cause tree in road but then handbrake would not hold as too steep and slippy so i had to leave in in gear and turn engine off and hope it holds, after that i carried on a little further to a Y junction but it was mud track with over 100ftt drop off where i had to do a 3 point turn. mad thing was i had no off road car/truck, i was in a city car a little diesel fiesta, it handled it much better than expected but as i was really new at the time it was a worrying few minutes as traction was very low and huge hols and a big drop off and steep up hill Y junction. managed to get out tho damage free. have been in more forest tracks after that but not to that much off road with slippy mud with dangers all around, reverse too much on an angle id roll the car. one thing i learnt fast, if in doubt then take a short walk so you know its good or at least can safely turn around. wales is fun for all types of driving. Dec i did 1000 miles and that was only two trips through wales, so much to explore :)
The customer at 1:01:32 seems so demanding asking you to leave the pallet on the tail bar. Don’t customers know you’ve got other deliveries to do. In fact you’re really helpful unloading it for her. It will probably save you time to unload it for her. By the way, I’m new to your channel and loving your content. You seem really positive and wish you well.
Man when she said just park our front on the double yellows but don't put the pallet on the path.. and then expects him to unload the pallet 🤣 id be like noppppeeeeeeee
@@RobertMihalache say no more buddy. Do you have interest in going to class 1? How long you been driving class 2? Sorry if you've answered these questions 100times already haha
as i'm new i will wan't something that takes me around 7.5 ton restricted streets and low/weak bridges. idk man thats why ask you what you would sugest.
@@RobertMihalache fair play to you! Its gone well, thank you for asking. Just need to wait for a test slot to pop up. Then its ust my cpc :) may go straight into class 1 training then!
Take them step by step and you will be succesuful and I am sure you will. I am glad that your training gone well. Make sure you do more reversing exercises because when I have had my first test I have failed, so it will be nice if you will pass straight away. If you will feel confident enough then go for Class 1 after you will get your Class 2 license.
That second drop took the piss. I'm currently on supermarket vans, so know it's difficult to balance good customer service and piss takers. At most it should have just been leaving the stuff to the left inside the shop with the cat litter. Very selfish of her to expect you to bring all the stuff in by hand - not your job in my opinion. You're a good man for doing that extra work, but I'd have told her straight; "I'm on double yellows, love. I'm going!" She's not the one paying the fine. I've just started a government funded scheme to get a Class 2 license. It's completely free, but I have to attend three weeks of college and do a course in environmental awareness! Hopefully I'll be out there with you soon.
Salut eu am folosit un singur GPS in 5 ani de soferie + google maps uneori si asa m-am descurcat. Nu as putea recomanda altceva pentru ca nu am folosit. Depinde in ce tara esti. In Anglia majoritatea folosesc TomTom si Garmin. Daca te descurci cu orice atunci e si mai bine. Salut!
