If I Don't Like The Job I Just Walk Away 

"offending you my driving does, a shit i do not give" I want that sticker

I got sacked and got another job straight away. Good advice. Don't worry about a job. They will replace you in a heartbeat if you drop dead. Do what you enjoy.

Truck driver in the US, really cool to see how it's very similar yet very different on the other side of the world. Really cool video

That machine you passed was a Dewulf crop(potato) harvester. Great vid as always.

Your a top guy and your sense of humour and professionalism is top class 👍🏻

Spot on Raul about if you don't like it where you work, just leave, at the minute it's an employees market..Walk out of one straight into another.

Good for you - the UK nation and transport industry deserves this stance and all like minded people picking and choosing and walking away from terrible employers.

If I was an employer & saw your videos I would want to employ you & keep hold of you, a hard worker, keeps calm, polite & deserves to have a good career, good videos also

This is the first of your videos that I've watched and it's spot on! I no longer drive HGVs. I quit just over 3 years ago after 28 years driving and 41 years being involved in the industry (my father got his first artic in 1977 when I was 5) due to mental health issues caused by, well, everything to do with the job, much of which you so accurately describe. The alarm going off being perhaps the most significant: "Oh no, not again......!" It's refreshing to see someone being in control of the job, rather than it being in control of them.

Quality filming, and quality attitude . 👌

you're a genuine man i absolutely love watching your videos keep it up

Job satisfaction is the most important. Thanks another brilliant video Raul!

What a fantastic outlook you have, if you don't like a single thing about your job just walk. You are inspired and inspiring, a lot of people should be more like you. Cheers for the videos and your happy outlook !

I really like your videos man, very good attitude and friendly

At least the fella is being honest.Some of us are in a job we fucking hate, but stay there for years feeling like shite and miserable

I love your description of an agency. And this channel is a breath of fresh air by the way.

Good vlog Raul. Good to see you cracking on with the job.

Keep the videos coming, you are without a doubt my new favourite truck vlogger!

You are a great bloke & it’s a privilege to have you keeping the wheels of this county turning , God bless you and your family.

Thanks for stories, some tips in videos. I am waiting for my practical training, can't wait to start working on the roads.

Lol I’m a daf truck driver and my alarm is just the same, the guy who sells them must have made a killing. Stay safe brother. And as always walk away from the clowns in our game. They’ve had their day now they must pay,. Don’t feel sorry for them they’ve had a good run

Really enjoyed the reversing part

I'm feeling inspired to make videos again in my new job. Great video lad.

Loved it ;) as soon as I saw scania overtaking you, I remembered your video about the 2nd lane hahaha Keep them coming ;) Awesome.

You come across as a great driver and calm too...... I respect that... 👍

I was in tiers! The how’s my driving bit 😂🤣 I actually thought at the start it was a voice over! Well done mate 👍

Great outlook Raul , that’s exactly how I see it , if you don’t like move on 👍

My cousin is dating one of the directors of the company responsible for the roadworks all over the M6 doing those "smart motorways", I give him crap about it all the time lol.

Great content Raul, I’m sitting my lessons & test next week, really excited to make my big break into the industry so your vlogs really inspire me and spur me on, a lot of questions I need answering actually come from the veterans who comment on your vlogs so this channel really does it for me, I’m also learning tones from you too of course 😌 thanks again

Bro, I don't know how I came across your video, but I'm glad I did, I enjoyed it. Now I'm gonna go to your channel and watch your other vids :D Good luck out there.

That's me every morning mate. What a sound.🤣🤣🤣🤣. Great video again mate cheers.👍

Raul you are spot on when you say if you are unhappy about a job to leave and do something else. It is the worst thing to continue beating yourself up every day. I stayed in jobs i hated because you get stuck in a rut sometimes and cannot see a way out. With hindsight i would have kept trying different jobs much sooner. You will find a happy medium eventually.❤

I can totally understand you mate 👍✅

"annoyingly perfect green". new to the B&Q Kitchen paint collection.

I’ve learnt a lot from you my friend keep trucking😊

Your videos are perfect Raul. Keep up the great work 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Machine thing …love your comments bud,could be a comic🤣🤣🤣👍take care mate

Great video! Respeckt for the hardwork!

To me, you never seem to stress out when in difficult situations. To be like that you have to be at one with the vehicle, the master of any situation you encounter.

Always enjoy your videos Raul

Great videos, I will start in 2 months an HGV job in UK and I’m a bit stressed considering I am still a beginner.But watching you makes my challenge a bit easier.

great to see you blogging again m8

We thank you for not driving on the grass :) kindest regguards, grounds keepers

that alarm tone makes me twitch! it's the same one i wake up to every damn morning haha!

Nice entertaining video, good luck with the future and new job

Instead of 'How's my driving?' - 'How's my vlogging?' - Love the format, not too long, some nice B-roll, different angles...you focus on quality not just chucking out 2hr vlogs that show nothing (unlike some others we all know). Keep it up 👌👌

Haha I know the feeling I as I have the same alarm tone 😆

you rock brother keep up the good work raul698 you are cool man great channel you have got there keep safe brother

Wow 10k subscriberi! Bravo tie 🍻

I’m exactly the same mate, lost track of how many times 😃😃

god I don't miss driving....only did 2 weeks out on the road and I got the hells out of there! stuck in terrible situations in weird locations.

Great videos. Thanks. Not sure about moving on though. I stuck it out with the same company for 25 years. Different contracts some good some bad. Finished on nights so get a good company pension every month to compensate. Now sit in the sun watching the trucks roll by to our local business park!

watching your vid brings back memories of playing ETS2 and ATS in VR `when your driving

The 70 plate DAFs are brilliant so far at my work, no complaints.

OMG! I started working as a class 2 transporter driver last month and the first truck I had had this exact warning! After a week of it constantly breaking down I refused to drive it any longer and they put me in a Scania that hasn’t missed a beat. I won’t be happy driving ANY dafs in future

Good job

I have a 22 plate daf and it still makes the same noises and alerts daily lol

Respect the HGV driver!

I used to do agency for earthmoving, I preferred that, I could pick and choose my jobs, I used to work for a couple of months then have a time off, the money was better than working for a permanent employer.

Great driving skills mate

Companies that do multi-dropping with Class 1 to those narrow places deserve to go bankrupt!!!!!

Just found your channel Raul and I love it (and your sexy accent!). Happy truckin' 👍💜

Hahaha that's my alarm tone as well

As I watched this, I wondered how well the new "quicky" semi-trained drivers would do. I am guessing the grasws would get some tracks, mybe a couple trees come down, or maybe the newbie just says they can't do it, dump the mattresses at the front gate? Gonna be impressive to see UK train 100,000 people to do that maneuver.

Hey Raul, yeah I'm retired now but 4 years was my maximum of putting up with the politics of on site jobs. I ended up being a courier driver where I was on the road all day, much happier but eventually the politics catch up. Free at last.

I drive a concrete mixer & a good amount of the roads we go down are unsuitable for HGV's it's nuts where waggons are asked to go!

I was with various agencies for several years and that's how I worked. Used to leave jobs as well if I didn't like it. Some agencies stop calling you if you keep bailing from jobs tho

Just subscribed, great to see and hear a guy who enjoys his work and does not give a damn. Looking forward to the next one.

very interesting video!!

I have a Love/Hate Relationship with DAF's, if you press the Plus Button on the right of the Steering Wheel, Cruise Control Set that will increase the Revs Slightly to Build the Air up.

How's My Driving ? I've phoned up two companies , one a truck firm in Lancashire and the other a coach company in Nottingham . The driving was so brilliant by their drivers that it would be wrong if I didn't tell the companies how impressed I was . The drivers were handling them as though they were cars - unbelievable ! ( Both companies were so surprised as they thought I was about to complain ).

You can pick and choose what you want at the moment

So i did about 4 1/2 years driving Agency in UK, rigid's then C+E. I did literally everything my agency gave me, gave me a secret nickname too, cos i just got on with things! But i had an alterior motive, that was to drive here in British Columbia where i am typing from. I drive a 20 year old 600 hp long nose Volvo, pull two trailers, 32' and 28', gross is 63.500 kg, mostly haul lumber, concrete, steel. Lots of mountain driving. Sometimes go on construction sites, sometimes poky industrial estates where i have to back both trailers in or out. Occasionally i have had to 'split the trailers to turn myself round to get out, hook em back up in line! Some real crazy manouvers. Had a cool Peterbilt here for a while to drive, but had a 'rollover' on a real tricky road winding along side a river, pup trailer lifted off the tarmac first, flipped the rest in turn! Needless to say the truck was toast, as were the trailers. Clean up bill was huge apparently. My boss is super religious, so he just has to treat everything as a 'test from his maker'. He knows i find this funny i'm sure, but i'm still working for him 3 years later! No driving Agency's here, but people still switch, grass is always a different shade from your own lawn i guess! Me, i don't think 'prostitute', even though when you said it i laughed, more the 'What doesn't kill you...' Maybe i'm more of a sociopath, hope you find a sweet gig, i did have a few with my agency, but of course nothing lasts.

Cool video, but reversing onto the blind side is always a bad idea. Especially in the UK

A lot of drivers l know walked away from that last firm you worked for doing containers. I know a l worked as a ltd drive with them for 5yrs, then through an agency. Moved on to better place now, actually get talked to nicely, do local work. I could go back and be on more money than am on now, but money isnt everything. Am happy where l am now, l actually have more time to myself.

Great video :D

Love man the way you explain about the job. I hope to get my License by the grace of God. I want to become boss of my self no rules by someone over me.

Offends you my driving does! A shit I don't give... 🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂 Raul I'm howling laughing at this... Love the videos keep it up and take care 👍🍻

Good video mate 👍

Even tho I work at a bodyshop where we work almost only on DAFs while it fills the air tanks the noise is pretty annoying on old DAFs.

Correction - prostitutes are treated with more respect than agency drivers

I would panic way too much to be able to reverse a truck 😄

Great video as always Raul personally I love DAF XF105 trucks

Yeah doesn't matter how many year experience, always get out and take a look.

Top lad👍

This video clearly shows everything that's wrong in the transport industry in the UK.....no wonder hauliers are struggling when this is the calibre of driver that's available....chasing the dollar??!!!.....says it all!

The Daf illuminations, like a visit to Blackpool

I've been driving class 2's since March this year and I've already bailed on my first job and started somewhere else. The company I started as a newbie is quite a notorious one that a lot of people use as a "stepping stone" to get experience under their belt and then quickly move on, staff turnover is crazy (I can see why...). Got a job on the tippers doing HS2 sites. It's sound as a pound. Decent hours, pay ain't shabby and for the most part, as long as you're doing what you need to and not taking the piss, you're left alone. I'll stick it until I get my class 1 later in the year/early next year.

Smart motorways are dangerous and counter intuitive The more traffic the more likely a breakdown. This the greater need for the hard shoulder lane

We got Volvo units never drove daf unit but we got 26 tonne dads abs when was on class 2 they was bad always throwing up faults 😭😭😭

Aahhh the English country sides 🥰🥰

I change a lot as well. I am Agency, I like changing because I get bored too easily. Currently in process of moving again, and people wonder why I keep moving. It literally has nothing to do with money for me. Just get bored too easily, as I have already said.

How long have you been driving? Agency work and agency attitudes haven't changed in 30 years. Good vids 👌

But keep it up.. you are doing good job:)

I'd be always on lookout for other jobs whilst in past working for any industry it pays to be on lookout employees are usually just used and then when contracts dry up get tossed aside in trash nowt new really

THAT'S JUST STANDARD MATE,,, FOR ALL PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS. DON'T LIKE A JOB,,, WALK AWAY FROM SAID JOB. SIMPLES.

What type of that Sat Nav you're using?

good for you pall the jobs are shit these days mate

Lmao you nailed it bro my daf the peace of shit sings every day like this I’ve just done my class 1 so hopefully I’ll get a Scania I’ll pray hard lol I won’t hold my breath as i jeep getting you need to have minimal of 6 to 2 years experience so much for the driver shortage love your videos 👍

It's more annoying when you discover its the fan belt!!
