NEW TRUCK will be ... 

Already have one ...they are so handy, will be getting another one with your promo code fer sure ...tks Scott :-)

I thought it was just me having this issue

I totally agree with you on the audio issues

I thought it was myself having issues aswell but another good vlog

Yeah often it seems when switching from face cam to road cam its cutting the audio.

its simple really don't like it don't watch he's got more important things to worry about

I was thinking that myself

Thanks Gary. Still unsure whats happened with the sound. Hope you enjoy the trip buddy 😁

The same problem if you smash your mirror to be fair

😳😩

@@krash1968 yeah, but you don't normally smash a mirror on the motorway. One of our drivers had one fail on the motorway the other day, I think it cost him about 4 hours in total.

We're you on pallets today sure past you in Llangennech 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Mirror Cams are Crap. They don’t make cars like that for a reason, Why would a HGV driver want them all day. Scott should pay his boss to fit normal mirrors. Only £400 & some protectors £600

@@chris77777777ify actually, cars are starting to get fitted with mirror cams now

I had that a lot with a 16 plate merc tipper when I was at 32tonne! Always when you were fully loaded.

they still do that I remember one I drove doing that back in 1990

The old EPS gearbox was just a box filled with various cogs that sometimes worked if you were lucky.

That "random neutral select" is not just limited to low-speeds; be prepared that the tranny will shift into E-neutral (economy neutral) when going down grades as well - even when fully loaded....and, to top it off, neither the Retarder nor the Engine-brake will kick-in when in (computer-controlled) E-neutral. Beware is all I can recommend. The only way to get it out of E-neutral, is to tip either the brake or fuel pedal, the get the tranny back into gear. Scary thing, until you get used to it!.

Or a Guinea pig wrestler?

I’d be breaking it after a day. It’s simply not fair a few bad cyclists/HGV drivers means every HGV driver has to put up with it

@@chris77777777ify Bit of chewing gum over the bleeper will sort it 👍

Yeah, we'll see where we end up 😁

you know the saying, Andrew Davidson: "what's the difference between a white truck and green* truck?"...the response: "a dirty white truck is dirty; a dirty green* truck is still green* ....(* = or any other colour but white...LOL).

Keedwell code for ‘we’re doing it to save money’

If one of those mirror cams get damaged it basically nearly 1k to fix. A mirror costs feck all in comparison so most likely down to cost.

@@chrismurray3198 and if it’s totally fubar’d I’ve heard it immobilises the truck too

@@TheThejpmshow ....have you ever had a computer-screen freeze-up on you? Well if you have, remember mirror-cam-screens will do exactly the same every now and again....meaning, your glance in the mirror may show you a pic of what occurred 5 seconds ago....no kidding....i nearly wiped out a passing car while at a wheel of a brand-spanking new "right-hand-steer" (on Canadian roads) Refuse truck, because the mirror-cam screen froze up.

@@andrep8287 they’re not without fault for sure!

Cash only shops have usually been banned from using card machines for skim reasons...often in the retail food industry cash is easier to avoid HMRC etc...

@@Ro-mm6tq exactly. If they're cash-only, they are most likely not declaring everything they take

mind you, Basher MAN, that crap about the cam-mirrors affect all truck-makes, not just Merc's....it's a mirror, not a truck-make problem!

@ Bosted Tap....don't you go and give them any idea (about medical status), it's bad enough the we already have to put up with all that "artificial intelligence" running new trucks these days. Computerized rumble-strips; computerized air-horns (inside the cab) when the Bendix anti-collision device insists I need more than 60 feet to return to my lane after passing a slow-moving truck up a grade while bobtailing, because the IT-guru at Bendix didn't realize that if the trailer parking-brake is not released it means I'm not pulling a frigging 53-ft trailer 😂🤣😅

Definitely 👍

I'll ask the boss if I'm allowed to show that one 👍

@@ScottAndrews cheers scott

Nothing special about a scania. Its better than a mercedes but wat isn't?

@@erikdikkers7931 Scania is by far the best truck on the Market in the U.K. I drive trucks in manual mode all day long. The performance in Scania is perfect. The Radio is fantastic, with great speakers. 2 crawler gears as standard, buttons to lower tractor unit & a remote control but BUTTONS TOO. The mirrors are the correct way round, Pull the side blind down on a Scania & you can still see out the big mirror. Every other brand the mirrors are the wrong way round & the blind cuts off the big mirror. Can’t believe other brands haven’t figured that out yet. Scania is the best, owner drivers drive them, that’s saying something. Why would Volvo have an ISHIFT lever when paddles by the steering wheel is better?!?!? Volvo crap, Merc crap, Daf oh deer & MAN is the roughest heap of junk. In my view, your not a very good driver if you . One drive in Auto all day long & secondly say Scania isn’t that special. Clearly know nothing about vehicles. Scania is the most expensive to buy, the most reliable & with a driver like me, in manual mode will get the best MPG out of any other driver & I will still be overtaking you fully loaded up hill, while your part loaded in AUTO you pathetic driver. I passed my car driving test after 3 hours with my instructor & learned to drive gears age 10. I’ve driven all the truck brands & know what I’m talking about. Scania has the BIGGEST ORDER BOOK OF ANYOTHER BRAND. So Actually Scania is very Special & is King Of The Road. The Merc isn’t that bad, however mirror Cams ruined it & made the Merc more crap. Merc has so many faults it’s unreal. If one bulb is out, you get constant warning on dash, clear it & it keeps coming back. It’s utterly rude, the whole Merc interface is rude & cheap. Buttons cost more than one digital screen, it’s cheap cheap interior, with a ECU programmed to annoy the driver, fine if it’s got a fault the driver acknowledges it, but the dash keeps flashing it up!! I’ve been so angry behind a Merc steering wheel because of a bulb warning flashing up on dash I’m think about punching the digital screen out. It’s a really annoying vehicle to drive. If that where a car it would be recalled for just being annoying

@@chris77777777ify oh look, a keyboard warrior. Is there anything you actually _do_ like?

@@chris77777777ify im with u 100% the industry will miss u we need more profesionals like u.

@@chris77777777ify ...okay, Chris7..........7ify, i heard you loud and clear. So tell me - since you've driven everything under the moon - what kind of tractor will give you 7.89 mpg (imperial) as an average fuel-consumption over 475,000 miles with an average gross weight of 108,000 lbs hauling tri-axles (not tri-dem) dry-van semi-trailers during 3 years (Sea-Level to +/- 1,300 ft above sea-level with grades up to 13%)???

trouble is, if you pull the sensors, the whole truck won't start....no kidding...i tried it on a 2022 Freightliner Cascadia (which is basically the North American version of the Actros.; Volvos are just as bad with all their AI-gimmicks. Among other things, it will give you a "lane-departure" buzzing when using the 'lane-change' feature (tip the turn-signal stalk for 5 flashes).....Bendix's response: "Lane-change feature?...what's that?" after me explaining it to them, their additional comments were "why would you use that feature" (their way of saying 'never heard of it/didn't know that large HGVs have that feature').

I had a lot sign up after the last video. Videos are recorded a few weeks in advance. Don't worry you are not forgotten Mark. Thanks again mate

@@ScottAndrews aww thank you pal and you are welcome hope you have a lovely day out on the road pal

Sorry about that Adam. Really not sure why it happens. It's fine while I edit the video. I have some experiments to do I think

Cost I would imagine. Probably cost the best part of 5k

And never will be.
