You are an inspiration to many people with your great attitude. you routinely work 12 plus hours a day, you are away from home all week. And you take such pride in your work.. Thank you for sharing your life and teaching us that, with a good attitude comes a happier day..
Your time management skills are excellent, and well done to the farmers for being ready to load you on arrival, an hour late by any of them would have thrown your schedule out, so, a superb demonstration of how life should be in the farm/trucking industry.
20:56 A colleague of me explained a while ago…. “There is a chair next to my bed…. and I get paied to sit down on that chair and look out the window!” Driving lorry is an awesome job!!! Greetings from a colleague in the Netherlands!!
Great vlog. I had become very jaded in my job in delivering fuel to forecourts having been in general haulage at the start then fuels for over 20 years now. Your videos remind me of why I love driving artics for a living. Also a member of the porridge club! Thanks for the excellent videos.
just found your channel, very interesting, I particularly like watching the roads your driving on, reminds me of days gone by, spent years travelling those roads, I'm originally from Bath and w-ends and hols were spent Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. I now live in New Zealand so its a great trip down memory lane for me, keep em coming 🙂
Thanks Jemma for another great vlog, you looked to have pretty good times there, farmer waiting for you, straight on to a pit etc. I saw a Wains Scania not far from Newcastle the other day. Stay well 👌🏻
Cracking video. We've all heard the saying, "sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue", well on that day you were definitely the pigeon. Glorious views from your cab, a great day to drive a truck👍.
Loving your videos lovely. Nice to be able to watch somebody with a proper accent too. By the way, bulldog clips from a stationery shop work great for packets like your rice. I use them on everything in my freezer!
Good morning Jemz💎. Great video and what a way to start the week, with what seemed a trouble free Monday. I'm 71 and this vlog took me back to being a kid and holidays in Devon, thanks for the memories Jemz💎. Have a great weekend, take care, stay safe and safe journeys.
Hi Jemma, absolutely love watching your videos, I work on different arable & veg farms throughout the year, you are so right it’s just lovely being in the countryside, keep the videos coming , was worried after Christmas you were not going to do any more, but so pleased when you did post one
You certainly see some beautiful scenery out there. I enjoyed driving round Northumberland for the Council in my day for the same reason, getting paid for driving in glorious countryside, great. You have some narrow lanes down there!
Love your uploads they are so interesting years ago I took my HGV test passed it and then developed Epilepsy so That ended my driving career I was so devastated at the time but I went back to uni and became a teacher still I really wanted to drive a truck..........
Hi, life treats us in strange ways sometimes. I always think life is like a tree, just changing direction as it grows. So glad you were able to enjoy another path in life. My friends grand daughter has just been diagnosed with it she is only 13, just starting out but has good support. Take care
HI Jemma Nice to see how your house, all looking good things are moving on hopefully we will see the finished house soon. Your day went so well in and out of the farms so fast , that makes up for all the bad days. Happy trucking
Jemma's sister also likes that word it's strange how some words just stand out to you. So when we mention podimore, we think of jodi 😂 she also likes haberdashery 😂 take care
Hi Jemma The bridge is first part of the vlog was super tight, I am sure over the years that had a few scrapes, very close to the water also! We did the same as you when we got news of the possible tea shortage can not survive without M and S Gold. Regards Crawford
You have skills Jemma excellent driving,after watching trucker jay a few years ago,it reminded me of the 23yrs i was a HGV driver away from home and my 4 girls all week,driving all sorts of different vehicles,like the ERF with a crash gear box high low ratio with splitter was an absolute bstd to get into reverse 16 gears was exhausting,these automatic trucks do seem to be a bit easier to drive.Happy trucking,its good to get payed to get lost sometimes.
If I may offer a suggestion, you may want to consider a filter respirator similar to what car body repair uses, when you sweep out your trailer - a lot of that nano scale dust can end up in the lungs. 👍 ... and I bet you have a nice pair of lungs.
Early start but not a bad day all in all, despite the narrow bridges, the scenery is amazing. And a clean and working shower, woohoo. Loved the kick.😂😂The house is really coming along. Thanks again for a really interesting video, enjoy your tea.
This was a very busy Monday but an easy day at the same time. Loading and unloading went smoothly everywhere, which is always a big positive. No wonder you could maximize your driving time for the day. Hopefully you'll be this lucky the rest of the week. The tiny villages are fantastic again, just like the gorgeous countryside. The sunset with the red sky was indeed breathtaking. Amazing vlog as always Jemma. Thank you so much for the usual Saturday entertainment.
Well Jeamma Anther interesting video similar to the hussel and bussel that that I used to do. Enjoy watching your video's keep up the great video and drive carefully "as you always do, do" ...
Glad to see someone eats porridge with banana although I add the banana after I've nuked it in the microwave. Never heard "red sky at night, barn on fire" before.🤣Cracked me up.
I honestly don't know how you Brits do it. Those streets are insane! I would go absolutely crazy but then again, I was born and lived my whole life in Oklahoma and we've got TONS of space here. It's a less populated state right in the middle of the USA, just North of Texas BUT the entire population of our state is less than the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex which is just one city metro area in Texas! haha Anyways, LOVE your vids. It gives us Americans a sense of what it's really like to drive there and what the housing is like. Everything seems to crammed together but then again everything here seems so spread out. Anyways, keep up the good work - you make interesting content and I absolutely love your voice and accent.
Its funny how you mention Bob Rowe as being quick on the levers...back in the early 90s he had a k reg farm special JCB....so my ol'man reckons he'd be parked outside the barn...start a stop watch...and 13 minutes later 24ton (38 gross back then) was on the truck and he'd be parked back in the same spot where he started...ready for the trailer to be sheeted!! If only all farms where like that!!!
Make Ryan get up and get your breakfast before you go to work hes lucky to have such a hard worker , your a Jem Jemma nice how you still love what you do , shows us the side of trucking we don't know about the ups and downs be safe.
Jemma was home Thursday night so Ryan took her back to her lorry at about 4 am on Fri and then jemma's dad rang him at 8.30 not knowing he had to get up early on his day off 😅😊 take care
Great video yet again Jemma and it does show just how experienced you are.. Drive safe as I know you will and I look forwards to your next video.. Xxxx
I've always fancied truck driving as a profession, but at the moment, I just play Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Also I do van deliveries at weekends in your neck of the woods, so quite au fais with the local roads you travel in the South West. Safe trucking!
You are doing a great job jemma have you even hit roof you have found a shower that is working do you stop out five days aweek it is like going on a mystery tour every day
Brilliant Jemma. Does kicking the tailboard hurt your foot. Are you going to any truck shows this year. What happened to last week's video? Thanks Jemma take care. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤸👍
Hi Jemma great video glad you had a good Monday even got a good shower . Early start early bed 🥱 seems like there's a few of your fans worrying about you and no mask 😉👍
You have the correct accent to say combine harvester - love it 😜. It was a particularly good day as you had a working shower there and an extra bag of tea-bags. Great, informative video as ever ❤
Scary lanes, but lovely countryside. Constantly amazed how close you can push the hours limits. Judgement/knowledge/experience 👌 I wonder if new auto gearboxes can handle hills better ?
Happy renovating Jemma. Here in The Netherlands many lorry trailers have steering on the last set of wheels to help get around tight corners like the bridge. Is that a thing in the UK?
I was surprised that you do not wear disposable gloves when filling up with diesel? If you can it stops your hands stinking of diesel. Just a suggestion.
"Combine harvester" - but is it brand new, and will he give you the key? Jemma - what happens if you run out of time? You can't just stop where you are, so I guess does the extra time eat into your next shift's time allowance?
Buy Christ you don't have earn your money you are always chasing your own asre thank god i am retired now i give you 10, out of 10 all the time love your videos 👌💯👍
