You are a gentleman if I was back in the haulage business I would employ you without hesitation. But sadly my health is not good and I had to get rid of the trucks and I miss them like mad but it would not be wise for me to drive a lorry. I was all over Europe and my wife went with me but sadly I lost her to cancer and the heart went out of it. I enjoy your videos and a belated happy birthday. May all your days be good ones and God bless you and your family.

@marian6593 2 года назад

I love watching the way you guys maneuver your artics through narrow spaces. It's amazing to watch such apparently effortless skill. Absolutely awful how you lost your own business but it's good that you had the determination to keep driving. Hope life brings you and your family all the lovely things you deserve. Best wishes from Scotland 🌠

@Henryk Czemierzewski My father was in the RAF during WW2, he used to speak of the Polish guys with nothing but admiration, he employed three he served with in his engineering firm after the war.

@Raul689 2 года назад

@Henryk Czemierzewski thank you for telling this story. This is the cold truth about how the uk and more "civilised" countries were built. I am surprised there are still people who belive they should get rid of immigrants. Those people have not got a clue how their countries were built

@paulw1798 2 года назад

Deffo. Romanians, Poles and Irish are some of the hardest workers I know. I’m sick of the sweeping generalisations and cliches unfairly attached to these guys.

@twatmunro9563 2 года назад

@jasonbrace3229 3 года назад

Happy belated birthday Raul. Thank you for showing the trucking in the UK. How tight your docks in the UK are vs the United States docks with some very spacious, but we have our share of tight dock many are underground.

@Raul689 3 года назад

Underground docks wow that's new for me. Thank you!

@jasonbrace3229 3 года назад

Raul the underground docks are in old like quarries. That were mining for rock. An businesses warehouse/factories have controlled temperature. In my state they have warehouses underground with docks. The height of these tunnels/roadway are 14 foot height. When you backing in you have to be careful you don't hit massive pillars holding up the roof. Of course they are chained in links all over, so rocks don't fall an damage vehicles.

@Raul689 3 года назад

Very interesting thanks for sharing 👍

@@Raul689 the worrying thing is there’s a small but growing contingent of people in 🇬🇧 who want something nearing communism here; yet they can’t see that every country that’s gone down that route has spent years fighting to get out of it, whilst the people suffer, and the main people in the government live luxury lives.
