Cool tiles, cool forbearance for the numpty transporter chappie! Blimey, everyday under the sun is a different test ! Great scenery in Catalonia. Thanks Ms S. 👍😂 phil - Suffolk.
You still amaze me with your patience, I think it's slowly rubbing off on me.....of course there's always the chance that you're a raving lunatic that's great at editing 😅
Well Sherralin this was another great video. Its great that you explain what you are doing aswell because those of us who are not truck drivers probably wouldn't have a clue 😁. I like the country side veiws too. Can't wait to see your next video and it never gets boring so please carry on trucking and stay safe.
I always thought that tiles move a bit different to other stuff like produce. I used to do a lot of them out of Sassuolo valley near Modena in Italy. Same sort of place as tile town in Spain. It has something to do with the clay in that area
Buenos Dias Sherralin 😀 That was really interesting on how to load tiles. I’m sat in my Daffy Duck 🦆 in Morpeth scanning some woofs lol 😆 I a nice journey later too Inverness for a scanning day at a vets in Forres. My journey won’t be as exciting as yours but it’ll still be ok on the A9 😊 love riding with you as it brings back so many happy memories when I did European driving. I wish I was a little younger and still did European driving and hopefully would of met up with you on our journeys across France and Spain 🇪🇸 So in the mean time I’ll sit back and watch your fantastic videos 😂 take care Thanks Stevie xx
Just finished watching your videos, one of my oldest friends was a HGV driver, uk only, lost him two years ago to that bloody virus, he use to do catch up phone calls when waiting to tip or load, which I miss. I had a spell driving an old D series 3 ton flat bed for a plastering and screeding company in north London back in the early 80's, that was fun! Really enjoyed your videos very imformative, great scenary and insight to you long distance HGV drivers, you have the patience of a saint. Especially liked the Gibraltar tunnel and madness of the Paris peripherique, I'll never complain about the M25 again! Look forward to your next adventure.
Hi Sherralin fab video not so nice a transport driver blocking your right off way then the que jumper at entrance to customs some lovely places in Spain stay safe look after yourself on road till next vlog xx
Really interesting vlog Sherralin. Not a trucker, but I denitely would put bars up as I could imagine wooden pallets slide quite nicely on your nice shiny floor Well, was nice and shiny till those grubby forklifts ran all over it! Hope you carry a mop & bucket! LOL & Aagh!
Found your channel recently scrolling for something to watch and am hooked! I don't drive a lorry but I live very close to Dover and Operation Stack is always in place here. What do you do about your tacho when you're stuck in queues like that, only moving a few feet every hour maybe? Just wondered as I passed 9 miles of lorries nose to tail stuck trying to get off the A20 into the docks at the weekend and after seeing your videos I just wondered.
Nice video mam... it's nice to know more about Spain...you are give more information about the Spain. So that the person from india also can understand .. so am waiting for more...
Another great vid Sherralin, thank you. You show us your back loads and i am sure you dont run down to Spain empty. so what are usually loading when you are running out from the UK?
Thanks for watching. 😁 Custom paperwork needs to be completed for all goods moved between UK and Europe (special arrangements are in place between UK and Ireland) in the same way as goods moved from all other countries.
lovely videos. one question if i may. Watched a vid of yours re groupage. You produced a CMR without you knowing what was on the back. How was it filled in, ie load contents?
CMR and custom documents are competed by groupage company. A manifest and original invoice’s are in a sealed envelope. Under “description of goods” on CMR are usually references numbers that relates to the goods number on the manifest.
Thank you. I brought it back through Caen to Portsmouth and changed trailers with another driver. He then did those deliveries and I brought another trailer out to Spain. From the last loading point to Caen was roughly, 15 hours driving.
Hi, love the vids. I’ve tried to workout some of your parking spots to save in my google maps folder. A couple of questions for from someone just getting into Euro driving. What do you do for headlight alignment on the DAF when entering Europe? Are they manually adjusted or do you use deflectors? Also, what equipment do you have to carry by law? Cheers, keep up the good work
Hi, thanks for watching. Most vehicles have adjustable headlights so can be turned down if you find you are blinding people, saying that, the ones on the DAF aren’t but they are terrible headlights anyway, it’s hard enough to see with them, main beam would never blind anyone 😂😂 By law, as a driver you must carry your licence, CPC and digital tachograph cards (even if vehicle isn’t digi). You must have a full passport. If it’s a passport from outside EU, including UK, it must be valid for at least 6 months.
What an absolute pleasure it is travelling with you Sherralin, but boring France ...wash your mouth out, mon dieu les anglais sont terribles. We just bought a camping car and if I see you on the road I will wave and put the kettle on. Take care out there and thanks
Hi, I prefer right hand drive, mostly because I have more experience with them but going into a left hand drive it doesn’t take long before you adapt again. I have found it’s easier to drive a RHD in Europe than it is driving a LHD in UK because of the way the roads, especially roundabouts are designed. A little patience with yourself goes a long way 😁
