@@keziasarah I will never give another penny to R N L I again , & a lot of people I know have said the same . There again they will be getting thousands if not millions from the UK government , they don't need donations anymore .
I fueled my car up the other morning 88ltrs. But I left my wallet at home the garage said can you fill in this form i promise to pay in 7 days . Then he spotted 8 tomatoes in my bag and said its ok ill take those in payment instead all good now .
Great video, the roads and traffic look so much better than here in the uk and the views, wow, beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures, from one trucker to another 👍😃X
Another great one, you can see that lamppost opposite the bay had been clouted a few times! Bays like that are a nightmare, if u don’t get it the first time u know it’s going to be plenty of shunts!
That's crazy what the traffickers are doing now! If you have a selfy stick could you put it over the top of the trailer to look for damage or alternatively use a long pole with a mirror on the end, maybe a telescopic one. If you turned the lights off inside the trailer that should show if there is any light getting in, unless they block the hole they made. I imagine it's a lot harder to check in the dark. Loving the vlogs and they are giving me good insight into continental work, maybe one day I'll do it myself it seems like a bit of an adventure.
Hi Sherralin,, enjoying your videos, and the gorgeous scenery. Just watching as you travel down the small town, turning left to the next pack-house, and thinking of care is needed because of the overhangs on houses, ie, balconies. Don't want to clobber one of them🤣. I remember when large industries in towns in our country would provide housing to their employees. My dad got a house from when he worked for Petrochemicals (now Shell Chemicals). He lived in Warrington and got the job shortly after leaving the Royal Navy after the war. He was offered a house, as he was married, and at the time (around 1950), had a child. The small housing estate was just across the road from where he worked
As Always a very good interesting Video , stay safe keep Doing what you are doing as you are a absolute legend @ this European work , love following your journeys . Xxxx
Great video, as always. Santomera is where I have had to avoid, and once hit on the head, by a lemon, off a bulker delivering to the plants there. Thankful I wear a cycle helmet. But we never buy lemons when staying in Murcia.
Did Spain every week in years gone by. Always Food produce & shoes back to UK but lucky get trailer to Dover for me job done. I had to laugh at Immigration £10,000 per person may as well be 100,000 🤣
Enjoyed video. Great scenery. As you drive to Spain regularly. It would be a good idea. If your bosses got some left hand drive trucks might be easier for you and your colleagues. .Safe travels wherever you go
Thank you. The company has both left and right hand drive lorries. Right hand drive are easier to find drivers for in UK, hold their price and sell better here too.
Hi... I have just found your YT. Great content. Would you consider doing a vlog on how you got into European work and what it takes to make a good Euro driver. Stay safe n well.
Thank you. I’ve thought about it but I don’t think there is enough to do a full video. I got into distance work by just applying for a job. I love the adventure of going to different places, I hate routine. If I won the lottery I’d travel to all the places in the world I’ve never been, then when I’d done them all I’d start again 😁 Doing long distance you have to be happy to be on your own for long periods, happy with your own company, ok with being away from home for weeks at a time. Have common sense and be able to work on your own. Being alone doesn’t mean lonely 😁😁😁😁
That's a smashing video, ms Sher. Apart from the perspective of "future waggoners" who've never been there, but also for any one interested in these areas in general, for holidays/residence etc. Good luck.
The rationale behind the fining of lorry drivers is I suppose to deter lorry drivers being tempted to accept payment for carrying immigrants or worse, have rogue lorry drivers drive lorries that are intended to carry immigrants over the border. Nevertheless, I can't help but feel that the Government are basing their rationale on circumstances of decades ago and that they really need to look at the situation as it is now and find a different method. Fining innocent lorry drivers an exorbitant amount of money seems very, very wrong to me. I don't know what the best solution is, but I can't help but feel that they need a sort of 'green' and 'red channel' at the customs which is solely for checking lorries for immigrants. Lorries that voluntarily go through the green channel would have their lorries scanned and checked and face no penalties. Those that go through the red channel and are later found to be carrying immigrants should face penalties. Of course, this adds time to the customs procedure and requires extra resources, but Governments should be finding ways of protecting innocent lorry drivers. Perhaps someone could think of a better system, but something needs to be done. Fining a lorry driver £10,000 per immigrant would not only potentially ruin them financially, but completely destroy their careers. The Government isn't thinking hard enough.
Your camera work is superb and such clarity. Interesting information and backing that trailer, I wish. I know illegal immigration is a problem for the UK, but I am not sure why you or any truck driver should be held responsible when they go to such lengths of cutting holes in top of trailers. I thought that is what X-ray machines are for, to detect such people. Stay safe.
that bloke reminds me of a spainish driver,who had 25 attempts to back on the warehouse bay where i used to unload spainish drivers, he gave up and seeing the had pump truck indicated he wanted to wheels them off, 24 pallets of potatoes that is,so he parked outside the normal warehouse door, i proceeded to lift him and the pump truck onto the trailer & when i went to adjust his air suspension i got a curt"no touchy camero senor", fine i thought he didnt realise he was backed up a slight downhill, so as i was unloading him the rear of the trailer was rising up, and his was pulling uphill all the time, when i eventually lifted him down, he was sweating & puffing & panting galore, and i explained in my "lorry driver spainish" that he had let me adjust his air suspension for him he would have had a easier thing of it, the sudden dawn of realisation was priceless, i signed & stamped his CMR and bade him "adios senor" & away he went, 2 things it taught him, back on a bay & dont question the forklift driver when he is trying to help you :)
Terrible damage too that man's trailer with the hole in the roof. The fines are huge now. That could close down a company with one bad fine. You are lucky you had a 2nd seal too do that. Some places load you and put on the seal and you can't take it off until you arrive at your delivery point unless the customs officer wants it opened in the mean time. Lovely scenery on you run.
Unfortunately it is becoming more and more prevalent. Can you imagine the mess if he had yogurt etc on!? The whole load also gets condemned. The seals I have are issued by my company, not many fruit or veg packers give you seals. We do our best to protect ourselves, seals, inspection record form, photos, 3rd party checks, anything we can to show we have tried our best.
@@GBtrucklady we have reversing cameras on our cement tankers for certain sites we go on to. If you set up a reversing camera on your trailer for normal use and then added a second camera onto the system which is easy done and tried mounting it inside your fridge trailer without it being effected by the cold air from the fridge, at least thst way you can flick on the camera from time too time and check inside trailer. Could be something that might work. Say you mounted the camera at roof height up the very front corner of trailer it might work. Mount it in a little box with a bit of evtra insulation around if.
Think i would have struggled to get on that bay hadn't drove class 1s for 10 years till last year when i.took one out about 8 times i normally drive class 2s for my day job for a well known bakerie.
I love a juicy mandarin, especially Orri from Spain I'd love to drive abroad but I'm not sure how long it would take for me to adjust to driving on the other side. That could be a problem
very good sheralin not many english on spanish roads there now i never stopped long enough for immigrant problems ha ha you had your own truck doing spain years ago ?
Anywhere is easy once you’ve done it! I would say, get some experience in UK, gain some confidence finding places etc. Then you have something to show employers. There’s nothing stopping you 😁 Good luck 😁👍🏻
that AP7 is a good road all the way from cadis up to borde with france i only pull a box van but my roof is made from alliso them idiots cannot get through it and i have a carbon detector inside so i know if any body is in there yes i caught 2 so o pulled up at a police stattion and they got them out/2 the N322 is a good route from there i use it if AP7 is busy takes me past alicanti benidorm vallencia
These are the problems we face. It is recommended that you check somewhere you can get help if needed, a service area or toll station who can call the police or authorities.
not to sure about that drivers ability at all ,good for you for sticking up for him but in all honesty i would doubt that he has a license ,,there are plenty of cowboys out there driving trucks ,and the main fault being that automatic gearboxes have made it to easy for this to happen ,i have watched many trucker videos ,and there are peeps out there that have not got a clue ,put them on a flat bed trailer tat needs to be sheeted and roped and they are totally lost ,,the days of true truckers have long gone sadly ,,along with the good old greasy spoon ,but in saying that spain still has some decent truckers cafes with proper food available ,,,have a good one gal and safe trucking ,,,
😂😂 It’s all at real time, unless I’m actually trying to show you something in particular. Lorries are restricted to 56mph/90km which seems slow to all of us 😂😂😂
@@GBtrucklady 😂 I'm a class 1 driver of many years and have watched probably 100s of HGV driver vlogs over the years. Maybe it's the way you have the camera set up. Just seems unusually slow motion. I even checked the playback speed to see it was at 1-1 play speed and it is 😀
These are the best locking bar ever. They never move. Spring ones can pop out with weight and rough roads with the flex of the trailers. A lot of places that load fluids, milk (Wiseman) and fruit juice for example will not load a trailer with spring bars, you have to have cups and bars. Remember, if you load 24/26 pallets of fruit or onions in a fridge, you are only putting 2 bars at the back, that’s the full weight of the load on those 4 bar springs. Each cup has 2 securing points into the side walls, the bars can slide 2 or 3cm side to side in the cups but will never slip out as they are solid.
They done my roof with a knife open it like a tin can I still have the knife 🔪 if you do get them in the trailer and you do get them into UK for me it was Calais dock don't mean you'll get a 10k fine if you have secured your trailer eg locked and sealed wire are the best seal border force will not fined you you have done everything to secure you're trailer they will also take into account your fridge don't have a ladder to climb up and check the roof I would take a photo at point of loading of the seal fitted geo location tagged and seal numbers wrote on CMR at point of loading
