I agree with the responsibilty thing, one mistake can cost you big time. As an agency driver with nearly 2 years experience I've had people expect me to take badly loaded trailers, units with defects, trailers with defects, and when I refuse they get snotty but ultimately it's MY licence and ME who goes to jail if anything happens so to any new drivers out there don't be pressured into doing anything dodgy. If there's a defect don't move until it's fixed and if a load is unsafe refuse it. Love the channel mate, I hope my new channel turns out as good.

@williamfence566 5 месяцев назад

Hi, Raul. I'm on an agency contracted to a National company so plenty of regular work with short shifts ( 8-9 hours ) . Suits me as I'm not fussed on tramping and have plenty of down time for myself . My agency saying it's the worst January he's had in 20 years with virtually no work, here's hoping for all those drivers out there it picks up soon.

@vitdolinski6494 5 месяцев назад

I expected quiet in January so worked 70-80h per week summer time. But to be honest I did not expect it to be that quiet. It's just 1 shift per week. And like you say I refuse to drive HGV for minimum pay. I'd rather get back to the forklift. Happy new year!

I agree with pretty much everything you say there's some shit jobs out there with poor rates. I do a 4 on 4 off shift and do odd days on overtime or agency not everyone's cup of tea but works for me. This time of year is shit there's no work out there and it seems the rates have gone down.

Hir Raul , i am on agency myself my agency has a 17 week tie in with my current assignment, i get 70p per hour more than the company drivers also double time on b/holidays and time & half, BUT unaware to the agency i have been offered a full time job after the tie in peroid :), just one note on your dash cam can you not switch it from kmh to mph ??

@NConceicao78 5 месяцев назад

I have my cpc to renew very soon, and I'm think very serious about if I give up on driving or not. The wages compare to the responsibility, fines, very long shifts, and other's negative sides of hgv jobs it's not attractive anymore. After 23 years of this, I don't see any bright future on this..

@hillman1281 5 месяцев назад

I take it you work througght your own limited company still? If so so you work direct to whoever you drive for sometimes or is it all through an agancy? I'm PAYE through an agency and they have kept me quite busy so far this year, but I am doing class 2 work to fill any class 1 gaps, I take no less than £13/hr on class 2 though and £15/hr class 1 with holidays on top of them rates.

Hi Raul What truck satnav do you use or recommend, I'm thinking of changing from a tomtom . Thanks

@CrustyBalls007 5 месяцев назад

Actually to get your licence to fly passengers it’s cost around £100k. On a different note, love your attitude to driving your very laid back. I drove trucks for over 20 years in uk and some of it was tramping, hated the services your treated worse than a pig. Luckily for me I’m now in Canada and thinking of trucking here but it’s a whole different ball game here. Happy trucking all

Didn't have any 15h days. On agency you are not putting much hours

@adamrhodes2566 5 месяцев назад

I've been working through an agency for 5 months now, I asked them before I started to keep my shifts under 12 hours and every single run has been under 11 hours. If you can find a decent agency on this job you've cracked it. It would take a hell of an offer to make me go back to working on the books for a firm.

@Sammyboy1991 5 месяцев назад

Sometimes at my agency I can do a van driving job for only like 15p an hour less than a HGV driving job. The wages that are paid are pretty poor in my opinion now for HGV drivers. We should be on par with train drivers. We provide a service and keep the nation running and we have to deal with a lot of crap on the roads too. It’s no surprise there is a big HGV shortage.

@michaeldavies5889 3 месяца назад

Finally someone who tells the truth about wages. All the companies if u work direct u will only get about 12ph, u can stack shelves in a supermarket and get more! We should all get together and go on strike to get a reasonable wage increase

@Raul689 3 месяца назад

Tried the strike thing a couple of years ago and nothing happened. Only strike you can do is be picky about the jobs and we should not take any job that pais 12ph

@Substance2020 5 месяцев назад

30k is crap. No, it is not ok. For a guy with a family to support and the stressful nature of the job 30k is shockingly poor.
