I’m sure you are sick of being told, but you are as professional a driver as I’ve ever seen,, I’ve been in the transport industry all my life and you’ve got it girl,, I look forward to your movies,, you have kept it real in every respect,, you stay sharp and drive safe as always 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Good to see you back. Missed my fix of my old life. If we a actually meet ask me about the time I (very embarrassingly) ran out of diesel on the slip from the A14 joining the A(M)11 😂 .
It was only a week! 😂😂 but thanks for missing me 😂😂 I do work full time but some things I can’t record. Glad you enjoy the channel and it brings back memories for you. Thanks for watching. 😁
Imagine being stuck in the middle of nowhere with both headlights gone, you can't get in touch with anyone & your not allowed to change the bulbs!?. Personally I think that all drivers should be taught how to maintain their vehicle's & do minor repairs, especially car drivers' the vast majority of them don't even know how to open the bonnet yet' alone change a bulb. Maintenance should be apart of the driving test, if you fail on the maintenance part you fail on the test as well!. Keep up the good work 👍.
Couldn't agree more, I know some people have to take jobs they don't like just to pay the bills, but if you find one you enjoy and are interested in, you've won the lottery of life.🤔🤔 To do list, grow another hand.😂😂 Thanks again for a really informative video. Safe journeys, hope it's somewhere warm and sunny, the weather in Scotland is abysmal.🥶🥶
Hi Sherralin, them shiny brighty see where your going type thingies are pronounced ZENON bulbs. We used to do all our regular maintenance and fix it on the road. Nothing wrong with that. You get to know your truck. Hope you're doing ok. Another useful and helpful video. Take care MARK uk
You are welcome. Keep the videos coming. I knew nearly every nut and bolt on my Scanny 141. Back then, you had to ,or it was a long wait in a layby until someone could come to your rescue. 🤣🤣All your videos are QUALITY. 😊👍👍👍
très bien le travail, par contre vous auriez du changer l'autre ampoule car sinon il y as des différences de luminosité entre la gauche et la droite . pour infos le changements d'ampoules de phares est toujours par paire .c'est pas une obligation mais plus efficace.bonne route et en attente du prochain reportage ....
We start with no points on our license, as do NSW, QLD, and Vic..... I hear what your saying about teaching drivers basic maintenance.... However beware of the truck fiddlers, you know the ones I mean !!!! night-mare for an real mechanic that has to work on their trucks. I had to do half a nigh shift ( west coat Tas ) with just the park lights. Had a fiddle for about half an hour but couldn't get anything, no phone signal, 37 ton of fresh fish on ice, job got done... ( Memorable experience ) Kenworths have always run sealed beam lights, the newer 200 and 220 series have sealed beam LED's. I mentioned this to our fleet mechanic for a retro fit as I often do night shift....... No chance $1200 each and there's 2 each side. Are any of the old truck stops still going Jat, Dave's, etc. they used to attract a certain crowd ( Brits abroad )
Yes a lot LEDs nowadays. I don’t know of any lorries here with sealed beam units, but I might be wrong. Don’t know those 2 truck stops but Claude’s at St Genis is still there. Castets is still there, in fact the whole place had a refurb and is really clean now. Some other routiers and cafes are still about but you need to look for them now and they get busy early, well at least the parking does, lots park without seeing the restaurants unfortunately.
If you drive with broken headlights, the police may stop you. They might just give you a verbal warning. Or they might give you a fixed penalty notice, resulting in a £60 fine and three points on your licence. They may also give you a Vehicle Defect Rectification Notice.
My boss doesn’t expect a driver to do anything he wouldn’t. Those that pull low loaders have spare wheels as they are funny sizes but he’s happy for you to take it in somewhere for them to change it if you can. 😁
