The joys of shipping through Dover! The Price of overnight parking. Snowy roads in France. 

Fantastic sherralin,you’ve managed to yet again to put another brilliant video together for us. Thank you & stay safe

Hello Sherralin, thank you for the video. Reminded me of years ago passing thru Dover with my caravan, it’s changed a lot! Enjoyed the journey. Keep safe and looking forward to the next - you do work hard . Regards, Phil - Suffolk.😊

Blimey! that was a nightmare, I'm glad you are driving it and not me - Thanks, another great vid.

I live in southern Wisconsin and we got 8 inches of new snow Friday into Saturday. This storm was pretty fierce and they closed interstates because of all the wrecks! Stay safe and thanks for sharing!

Good morning, good morning, good morning can't beat a bit of stellar reversing to start off a cold, dark day in January.😂😂 Never realised just how frustrating your day can be, you think of truck driving as bowling down some sunny, foreign motorway without a care in the world. At least you got an earlier ferry. Lovely scenery, snow looks nice in the fields, but not so good on the roads. Thanks once again for a really interesting and informative video. Safe journeys.

Good evening Sherallin from the port of Heysham waiting for my ferry to Belfast 👍🏻 Love your videos especially with the top class information on how to do European trucking 👍🏻 Love that route through Rouen 😊Keep safe and warm love from Stevie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 xx

Found your channel by chance enjoyed it and have now subscribed

Hi Sherralin, I'm fairly new to watching trucking videos and definitely prefer seeing the European trips. Enjoying all your videos and the comments and info. I drive from Scotland to SW France at least twice a year to go on holiday and finding out a lot of useful info from listening to your commentaries. Been going down that way for over 25 years and never used the tunnel once. Gave up on the cheaper Dover ferries about five years ago as the place became a nightmare and just so frustrating. Coming back via Calais was just as bad. Happy to pay the extra and cut down the mileage by travelling via Portsmouth now. Would love to have the time to drive right down through Spain and Portugal as your videos make the routes very interesting. One day... Stay safe and I look forward to watching your next post 👍

I always follow a Spanish or Portuguese truck going south through Rouen and going north follow Dutch or Spanish.I don’t want to take a wrong turn there and end up in the very low underpasses! Great videos as always.

Hi Sheila, happy New Year to you another really interesting episode of so many aspects of your job. You are definitely the best trucking channel for us. Thank you

All ways a pleasure following your journey having traveled those roads & waited for lots of ours for ferries , safe onward journey xx

Greetings sherralin... thank you for bringing us along be safe in your travels....

Hi Sherallin, I have not seen you seance you got your new yellow truck, I'm the lady truck driver from USA (Ret). I'm so happy to see you. I see now you are pulling a reffer. That's what we had. I'm so happy to see you. By the way my name is Nancy

Thank you for such an interesting insight into your job and ferry crossings, a complete eye-opener.

A Sunday evening with Sherralin top class vlog looking forward to the next one, stay safe and take care 😀

Hi from France, great little video, funny the comment you made on how few English trucks (sorry,lorries or H.G.V's) are working in comparision to the amount of eastern european transport companies.I drive à petrol tanker here in France,i see alot of eastern european transport companies, very few french companies (in comparison),heaps of "doprava/spedicyca" on the rear of those units.The dépôt where i'm based uses heaps of eastern block subbies pulling various trailers of ours.....they must be economicly viable.Great chanel.

Sunny hull. I live less than 10 minutes from where you picked up. The number bridge ( white elephant) tools are £12 for trucks. £4 for coaches and £1.50 for cars. If you where heading straight to cover it's about 1/2 an hour quicker over the bridge . A15 to Lincoln then a46 to the a1. It cuts out the bridge repairs at goole. Brilliant video as usual sherralin.

Excellent video Sherralin, your such a cool lady I will certainly be following your journey. 👌👍

Money money makes the world go round, re parking. A fantastic vlog, keep up the brilliant work.

Hi sherralin, another great video, it was me that flashed you last week on the m62 in the mcgregor daf, I was heading into Hull 😊

Hi .......when you mentioned he's keen on his indicators . In most european countrys if your on main road and goes to the left or right and there's a turning of the main road going straight on you must use your indicators .......have save journey and keep on hauling

i hope you know ur a talented lady u make the job look so simple and your videos easy watch take care

Another brilliant blog look forward to the next one. Keep safe

Hi Sherralin, Firstly Happy New Year to you & yours… 2ndly, My Mrs asks did she hear you phoning in on Radio 2 - Jeremy Vine last week? Ok that’s housework out the way… Anyway have been enjoying your videos for a long time now as it brings back memories of in the 90’s when I was doing European. We all said when the roads were full of “Willi Betts “ (Blue & Grey wagons) that it was the beginning of the end for UK wagons out in Europe. Anyway moving on It’s nice to see Castets still standing (had many a late night 🍷🍷in there) It was also a treat to see the border @ Vila Formosa (again many a night on the 🍷🍷) a few videos ago… Anyway please keep the videos coming and if your friend happens to be a guy called Nat, please let me know, as we worked together back in the day for Buzzers and last I heard he had a bar/restaurant down that way. Be Lucky… Lee

Nice vid. See you in the next one.

hiya Sherralin another interesting video,, as always drive safe, keep well !!

Nice video thx for showing snowy France

Nice Interesting Video Nice Detail Please Keep Them Coming and Stay Safe,

Nice 1. BM are a big outfit now. safe travels ☘️👍☘️

Interesting that you listed the countries that heavy snowfall. I am in Japan and we have many regions that have really deep snow. People don't often associate Japan with deep snow, despite the country hosting the Winter Olympics twice. Anyway, why I said 'interesting' was because I was wondering whether any countries further south than Scandinavia make winter tyres mandatory during the winter months. Here, we have to have snow tyres and in many prefectures, both winter tyres and snow chains, the use of snow chains dictated by the highway authorities depending on the snowfall. Obviously the chains only need be fitted to a drive axle wheels, although winter tyres are mandatory for all wheels including trailers. All trailers, from a tiny camping trailer like you can buy at somewhere like Halfords, to articulated lorry trailers. On the expressways (motorways) which are all tolled, all traffic gets diverted into a parking area (which is really for the purpose of putting on and pulling off chains) and the highway authorities check every vehicle to see that they have the appropriate tyres or chains on. If you don't have the right tyres, you are made to get off of the expressway and in some cases, even fined.

choice videos awesome

Have to say all that’s really on Y tube is war - death/ hate - I tripped across you going to work @6am and it was the most enjoyable video I’ve seen in months- I know I enjoyed it cos I watched start 2 finish- AND I SUBSCRIBED 🥇

Another great video thank you for sharing ❤

Hi. Keep safe nice watching

Great video , really enjoyed it :)

Hi Dover never used to be that bad but I am going back when I used to go with murfitts safe trip .

Regarding the use of blinkers. From an Aussie who drove over there for a while, my old boss (Marlin Express) an Uk company always said if you are ever in involved in any accident in a UK rego vehicle on the continent even if you are in the right, you will be wrong. 😡😡😎

Great video sherralin very informative

Brilliant Sherralin

Hi Sherralin, great video as usual.I think I need to get a Volvo like your if it gets you from Hull to below Bordeaux in 37 mins 🤣. Be safe out there

Brilliant video keep the video coming

Brilliant as per usual ....we sail via harwich theses days ....but come back in via calais in snowny Sweden atm

Cracking video

If you have some WD40, you can put it on the wiper rubber and clean it with a cloth.. Normally it reduces noise. Take care !

Been a few years since going over the Humber Bridge. I put it on a par with the Ponte de Nomandie bridge at Le Havre in France. Just wouldn't like to drive over it when there's a gale force wind, even in the car🤣. One thing I hate about Dover docks is that its so eerie. I do really hate parking in docks at night time. Daytime, I don't mind, but not dark. With passport control its always the French who hold everyone up. They're either very slow or on strike, nothing in between🤣. And then its the English turn to queue. I always loved driving in France, the roads were free and clear, then when we're driving back towards Calais, I could feel myself getting cramps thinking of the state of our roads. I would dread it. Rouen, don't mention that horrible place to me. I've been through it numerous times, and its one of those places that I always get lost in, even using the satnav, even the voice stutters when its going through as if it doesn't where it has to go. At least when its finished, it can't possibly be any worse than before

When the train first started, they used to serve a nice meal with a small bottle of wine. Now it's just a numbers game and the drivers are treated like cattle. Dover was never that slow in the winter, it must be disheartening to get up early and still be delayed that much. If I remember Rouen correctly, as you came out of the long tunnel, you turned over the road out and then you headed towards Paris from there. Sometimes (before Sat-nav) I'd go the slightly longer way around Bordeaux if the east side junction was queuing. There's not much in it. I spent many nights at Castets and the occasional weekend there too. Looking forward to the next bit through Irun. Back then everyone went via Burgos if you were heading to Madrid.

nice long vid thanks alot , stay safe

Not bad, enter Dover Port, get on the ship and only one 'Penguin' to wave at you, years ago they had one every 40 metres. This new boat is an electric one l think.

Great content 👌

Hi hi

Another excellent watch Sherralin ! You a Go Pro user , which model ?

Just tell them you have arrived in a dinghy and you will get everything free in Dover.

If you running to malaga there are alternatives across the channel rather than Dover. Is it the time travelled or cost as to why dover is used? . Interesting the press don't cover the freight delays. At least in malaga the chances of snow are slim. Stay safe.

Just watched vlog for 1st time,really interesting, will be subscribing to watch more.Do you fill up with fuel befor getting on ferry or do you wait until in France?

Close the tap on the ad blue every time.

It couldnt be too stupid o'clock as it was daylight, I just watched a vid of a young lady trucker starting her day at 4am in California. Now, THATS stupid o'clock. !

Does your boss not mind you not wanting to use the train? Prefer the boat myself, far more civilised but I just get told what to use.

Hi Sherralin, enjoying watching your videos. I drive a bit for work, but only in a car and in the UK, but I like to see what's like drive a truck through Europe. I have question - do you pick which ferry you use or is the company?

IT WAS BORIS J THAT INSISTED THE FRENCH CHECKED EVERY EXPORT PASSPORT.

Dover is a problem at the moment….the new P&O boat is delayed and DFDS have taken a ferry out for repairs……

I love watching your videos. I have a question. I am in Australia and notice that most of the prime movers in Europe are single axle rear. Yours is not but most are. How does this effect weight distrubition as the front of the trailer could only accept ten tonne while he rear being tripple axle can carry much more? I have never seen this configuration in Australia. I am not a truck driver. My interest is from the point of view as a vehicle builder.

I am subbed to your channel for quite a while now, but as with a lot of my subbed channels you do not come up often in my (subscribed) recommendations. Maybe it needs addressing as you potentially loose views on your videos because of this. Might be worth you asking them if you have time. I always enjoy your vids as your voiceovers are very relaxing and enjoyable. I am just seeing this vid on January 31. Take care and stay safe Sherralin. Norm in Yorkshire.

Sorry about that sherralin

Humber bridge😄😄😄😄

Lol garlic bread 😂😂 next time you go say swanny fr nhl sends his best😊

Happy New Year - Great to see you up and away again. Question - why do you run down western France to Bordeaux and into Spain ? Less or cheaper tolls, less km?

they can keep it we dont want it.

I never liked the ports 😊

£ 30.00 to park it’s disgraceful

Very sloppy bm transport no Angles Morts on the trailer or the unit

Should of turned off that IBC you never know

Hi Sherralin.... Nice to see that you are still heading south.... been on that run many times but not for work... only leisure... looking forward to the next leg.... br Yoki... keep it safe...
