--------
I'm Steve - a Heavy Vehicle Recovery Driver from the South of England. I've been involved in recovery all my life, from a young age working in a family-owned car recovery business and acquiring the licences necessary to operate some of the largest vehicles on the road, to eventually working for some of the largest recovery firms in the UK.
I've set up this channel to provide insights into the world of recovery and whether you're here with the intent to step into the world of recovery or just interested in seeing the action - I hope you find thoroughly enjoy the videos!
During 2024 - my channel will provide content on the following, so feel free to subscribe if this is of interest you!
- How to start a career in Heavy Vehicle Recovery for the newcomers looking to take the plunge
- POV style videos of recovering Heavy Good Vehicles (HGVs) out in the UK roads
- Walkaround style videos of the largest heavy recovery vehicles in the UK

Pretty spicy pulling back out into lane 1, people ignoring the X lane closed sign. Thankfully most people pay attention but some must be assuming the lane was closed for a bit of a laugh or something. Great work dude, kudos.

If the cameras are any good it should be a 5 year ban for not obeying the closed lane sign.

I still think I'll leave the recovery to you Steve, at 80 my days of driving psvs and hgvs are long gone!! Being disabled now I have stopped driving sold my car and I now use a mobility scooter so I don't think I will give you any trade!! Still you stay safe out there there are too many idiots.

@Heavy Recovery Steve I so admire your bravery !!!!! And i salute 🫡you for keeping us ALL safe , how you keep focused !!!🫣 Placing all ur equipment up n stuff !!! Ur knowledge on the different trucks and the drive shafts ! Q, how comes u didnt take out the one on the other side to also ? And what happens IF it is on the live lane side, wud u get a labe closed to remove it ? I mean like do other trucks have em in the other side to at all ????? them air lines wrapping round the cab , crazy that , Well cool vid , really interesting i subbed up , as i watched 👀 Really good stuff , Take very great care SIR RESPECT 🙏
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 26 дней назад
Hi Mathew thanks for watching , you can remove either half shaft to disconnect the drive to gearbox but easier to refit half shaft not on diff lock side. I would always try and remove the half shaft on n/side now for safety and worry about refitting the half shaft on diff lock side later , try and keep working to n/side where possible.

Hi Steve, great video again, love your humor, i've asked it also with a previous video, are you familiar with the VDZ System for truck towing? It's a in NL developed system which makes towing a lot easier

@TheFlyingBusman
@TheFlyingBusman 28 дней назад
Classic example of why smart motorways are a terrible idea. The extra lane doesn’t really help as I’m seeing no end of truckers that will not use it for fear of ploughing into a broken down vehicle and the lane discipline of every other road user is a joke and completely negates having extra lanes. I really don’t envy you getting a fully laden vehicle out of there.

@HeavyRecoverywithSteve interesting, wonder if the box was built by miller for that "cab-over" configuration your truck has, I'm actually aware of Miller Industries, but never seen something quite like this. Bet Boniface did a bunch of work to it no?

@HeavyRecoverywithSteve
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 23 дня назад
Hi Arthur , job is 24/7 so you have drivers working on shift patterns and on call basis working when required to cover this period. So be on different hours and money so hard to a figure on years earnings.
