Pallet network trunking (Truck #28) 

Enjoyed this video, interesting so see how all the loading etc works. Good choice of background music.👍

Great vid squire... this little series, including the 'Rigid Multi-drop' pts1-3, is an excellent source to show any new/inexperienced drivers what the job actually entails. Personally, I'll be keeping them bm'ed for that exact purpose and would recommend anyone else to do the same if ever they get asked the question, 'What's multi-drop like?'.

found that interesting mate never done that kind of work ,so was good to watch be safe on your travels mate.

Really interesting to watch what happens behind the scenes.

I work for a pallet network at the main central hub. This place looks very chaotic and busy. Great video

Good old palletways. Hate going to the Hub at Fradley. I do multi drop on the class 1 on days for Palletways. Keep an eye out for Speed lorries May be me if I decide to do some trucking 🤣

I’ve done pretty much all the hubs and Pallet track in Wolverhampton was the best by far. Fast tip and friendly people

Thank you!

Damn Ive been there loads of times, Good video try Gary's chicken curries there if you haven't already

I used to work for the minworth branch of the pallet network

good vid subbed

Top vid mate :) passed my class 1 test today! This night trunking looks like a good thing to try and get into. Might see you on the road soon take care pal

Great video. Good to see how it all works. Can see no one's allowed to walk around. Are you going back on coaches this year ?

hey - just a suggestion for future video possibility (or to just include with various loads you do) - I am due to sit my C+E test in 3 days, but none of the training seems to tell you how to actually secure a load properly, securely close the curtains on a curtainsider etc - As part of the reversing test, (the test is now split into two parts) I had to demonstrate that I could show the ratchets are tight enough on the curtain - and when I asked during my training how do you adjust them and how tight should they be, I was just looked at like I am stupid!! May seem really obvious and routine for people who do this all the time, but as a new driver it would be good to have at least an idea as to how this stuff works, rather than turning up a depot, on my first day, and saying - erm actually.....I dont know how to properly close these curtains.....or I dont know how many straps I should use on this pallet etc, or where do I secure these straps to the trailer floor etc!

Great video. 2 questions.... When in the queue for 4 hours do you put tacho on POA or other work? Also when securing load do you just use internal straps and curtains or do you rachet strap every pallet over 400kgs?

How easy is it to get some sleep while waiting on return load ? Thanks great vids

On average, how many drops can be achieved with 26t doing Multi drop pallets.

Have you been to palletforce yet

Would you recommend going with an agency or trying to get a permanent position? My dads a c1 driver for Royal Mail but that’s all dead mans shoes, I’m doing my training with a company called sp that’s owned by Eddie stobart and they are also an agency and have told me they can get me temp contracts but it’s gonna be an extra 1900 quid to do my c1 with them but my dad can get me into tramping bio fuel but I’d be tied down for 2 years because they would put me through my c1, I’d love to trunk but I’m not too sure about being tied down to tramping so I’m torn between the 2 options, sorry for the rambling but this is a big career change for me so I’m trying to get as much information as I can :)

No straps on the load?

DO NOT give them your REAL keys incase they lose them - just give them a fake bunch.
