Well done pal

@elmoswansea1947 3 месяца назад

Haha, why do we always enjoy seeing someone having a hard time 😊, seriously, that was great entertainment from this side of the camera👍 stressful enough in a van never mind an artic, nice one!

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed it bud, it’s probably harder in a van to be fair as most people try to avoid the trucks at least

@39LFC 3 месяца назад

Just as well you can laugh Darren.. what a hazardous place. Stay safe lad.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Didn’t help that the A40 was closed due to an accident and the main capital is just chaos

@peterchapman5025 3 месяца назад

Extra surprise there near the end, you came Rochester, I live in Chatham next to it, nice to see you was about 10 minutes from me.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

It’s literally just down the road from you 😀

GOOD MORNING ☀️ DARREN 🙏💯🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good morning buddy

@robertburton880 3 месяца назад

Broken Britain on full display there Darren . Crumbling road infrastructure and self centred people with no manners . Bad combination

@MargaretMckenna-jc1ee 3 месяца назад

It seems to me that they have a different set of rules in London for driving but you didn't loose your cool well done

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

They certainly do, if you don’t laugh you will cry 🙈

@twocanchew6998 3 месяца назад

Done well mate, I use to do multi drop in London. Never again, any sign of a red bus and I'm out. Ufff nightmares 😂😂😂

@Jason.988 2 месяца назад

Wow 🤩 buddy London absolutely chaos! Well handled though bet took all night for bloody pressure calm down lol 😂

@M0RLEY 3 месяца назад

Holy shit i felt stressed just watching this. You are very skilled, nicely done.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Thanks bud

@entity_dragons2013 3 месяца назад

What a video 😅 really felt anxious for you .. 👍 How difficult was the transport Manager CPC , as for truck wash was not far off , unit only £15 and trl another £15

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

That’s not too bad prices tbf, we have someone visiting the yard every other week luckily The transport cpc was a pain if being honest, a lot to learn in a 2 week period followed by 2 exams. It’s worth doing if you get the chance

@stelvioc3691 3 месяца назад

11:17 Coronation Road in Park Royal - did that road many times in the past. It was chaos back then and I dread to think what it's like now. Nice to see the Café Royal still going though - cracking brekkie if you have time.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

If you arrive at the right time the Coronation Road can be okay, but if the A40 is closed it’s a night mare 🙈

@bigneil8888 3 месяца назад

Bollocks to that traffic, I think I will stick to rural New Zealand 😂

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

I don’t blame you mate!

@kevingreene853 3 месяца назад

The first drop you went to in Park Royal I do quite often in a rigid and that’s bad enough never mind an artic

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Do you normally reverse in when you deliver to there?

@nick4995 3 месяца назад

nightmare well played 💪

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Thanks nick

@johnemerson2221 3 месяца назад

I live in East London and have to go through to North west London and back a few times a week..normal rules don’t apply. The driving witnessed is pretty much standard these days.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Which route would you recommend going from south to north London etc

@truth3358 2 месяца назад

Lived in London for 40 years the way you went from Park Royal’ was a big no no 😢😢😢😢😢😢 As said before your sat nav is not connected to your fone to give you live updates That Mary poppings street you wouldn’t get change from 2 million When you got to Shepherd’s Bush you was only 15 minutes from your last drop lol

@Life_of_Darren 2 месяца назад

Oh no 🙈🙈 I think definitely I’ll be going around the m25 next time, if you go to the end of the A40 it takes you through King’s Cross etc doesn’t it? As the slip road I needed was closed off without warning I panicked 🙈🤦🏻 and come off for the Paddington slip

@paulcrowley3556 3 месяца назад

No joke Darren,you earnt your money that day

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

It felt it today 🤣

@Fast_car1000 3 месяца назад

Hopefully you didn’t go the slip at Paddington on the A40. Weight limit of 7,5t and No PCV allowed, camera enforced

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

I think I may have 🙈 Just checked - came off on the A40 by Royal Oak station … hope that areas okay 🙈

@dalmo001 3 месяца назад

I almost had the popcorn at the ready, like I was being taken on a whilwind ride. Would have been sweating bullets driving but you handled it VERY well and good you can laugh some of it off. If I ever get asked to drive in/around London i'll be switching my first aid kit for a defibrilator just in case 😂

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Thanks bud! It’s a tricky place but once you’ve driven on road there all the same after a while 😀 just more nutters in the capital

@kevingreene853 3 месяца назад

The road where your delivery was is usually bad but not as bad as on your video

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

I’ve been once before and it wasn’t too bad, it didn’t help with the A40 closure

@kevinsallows9709 3 месяца назад

Hi Darren I have my class 2 test tomorrow, 25/4/24

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Best of luck kev! Hope it all goes well for you

@Lou-dean 3 месяца назад

Feel your pain as hgv driver myself after going London 2 times a week for last 7 years my satnav gives up know lol

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Yeah there completely useless around there, too many changes to weigh limits etc and they just don’t seem to update on the satnav

@johnharrisiis6046 3 месяца назад

Fair play to you mate that is my idea of hell! Id have had a meltdown! Ill stick to my narrow lanes and farmyards!

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Give me the country side any day of the week

@mariusHGV2 3 месяца назад

Darren I think your company likes to send you to London, so you'll get more content for all of us😂😂😂

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

🤣 I think you’re right about that 🤣

@neilrees7526 3 месяца назад

Bet you wish you went on that m25 earlier than you did ! 😅

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

100%

@kevinsallows9709 3 месяца назад

Hi Darren I passed my test today

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Great news Kev!! Well done mate

@simonhaigh9708 3 месяца назад

What a journey. Just noticed you had trainers on, don't you wear steel toe cap boots? I would.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

When doing longer drives I tend to wear trainers then put boots on when delivering, If I’m more local etc then I tend to keep the boots on all day

@joshhassan1526 3 месяца назад

What sat nav do you use ?

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

TomTom for trucks, can’t remember the model off top of my head

@TheDeepExplorer1 3 месяца назад

Hi Darren. How do you find jobs when you’re self employed with your own truck like this ? Is it like freight exchanges you use ? I have always been interested in doing it myself in the future.

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

I’m not self employed bud. The company I work for let me do the vlogs etc. I am hoping to go on my own one day in the next year or two

@stevekenilworth 3 месяца назад

parts Birmingham also making traffic congestion on purpose, they closing roads of for no reason (called low traffic areas) it funnels all traffic on few main roads i turns place in to grid lock. councils doing all they can to get people out cars / trucks /vans they do not want people driving and reason they making driving as hell as possible so people do not want to. some places you get in to an area but getting back out if you new to area dead end after dead end because fools (government) put plant pots blocking roads but some locals fighting back and took removal of them and removed bollards and signs so they can again access. city's have been designed in resent times to restrict and make travel as hard as possible and cause as much madness as possible. vote red, blue, green or yellow expect a lot more of our roads turning into grid lock and more roads closed / stolen from the public. these days i refuse to go in to a city i have day out in small town somewhere what more traffic friendly and they get my money. most issues you see on road that was the leaders plan cause madness so people do not want to use the roads

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

I think the same too mate, the government make it as hard and expensive as possible to put people off driving anywhere

@robertburton880 3 месяца назад

Those roads aren’t designed for the volume of traffic in London . Loads of potholes in North west London and poor driving etiquette. Absolute crap show and dog eat dog mentality !

@Life_of_Darren 3 месяца назад

Your not wrong bud
