UK HGV .... Wannabe a Truck Driver? Watch This 

Its about time the government came up with service stations for modern times . thirty pound is to expensive that why you see truck in laybi's industrial estates with no toilets. Ive never slept well parked in a lay-bi. bad sleep equal's tired driver equals accidents. Animals are better cared for then truck drivers.

You would think that for £34 a night they would have a toilet and shower block for you lads.

I don’t think of truckers as second class citizens. It amazes me that you can drive and manoeuvre those huge vehicles. I think you’re heroes.

I think there should be more regulations on how much pressure companies put on drivers. I’ve been doing it for a few months And I’m surprised there isn’t more accidents and deaths on the roads because of it. I don’t mind hard work but I hate it already, worse decision I’ve made!!!!!!

Fifteen years ago, the average age of a UK Trucker was 48 however, every three years that passes, this average age rises by one year. The Average age is now 53 and in six years time it will be over 55 ! It is very expensive to get a Class 1 Licence , after passing you will find it very difficult to get a job as you have no experience. No experience = no job ! Be very careful about the BS you hear regarding ( £40-50,000 ) per year crap as you will find yourself disappointed by the knock-backs as a beginner . I wasted £2000 getting a class 1 that my agency pushed me to get for over six months, after passing they said they could not find a Firm that allowed a new passer to drive due to their insurance Firm not allowing this. There is a very negative attitude to new drivers and this is why the Logistics industry is losing so many people each year; pissing in bottles, crapping on newspaper and washing my bum holio and willy with a water bottle at the back or side of the truck , i drove a class 2 for 15 years and i am so glad to have left now as i just could no longer cope with the rudeness of warehouse staff, employers shouting abuse at me down the phone, asked so often to drive illegally etc. I miss the Road but would not return until these issues are changed. UK driver training is a waste of time and money as you are treated with contempt .

I was almost tempted into HGV driving, but I avoided it after watching videos and reading comments on youtube. It's a horrendous job with little to no thanks.

Whilst driving around the country, I've noticed lots of services which are badly designed for HGV drivers.

Great video mate you are the first person as a truckdriver to film all the truck to the truckstop. Thanks mate👍🇦🇺

Very insightful video Neil...its very helpful indeed. I am 49 yrs old (just) do you think its too late to start my training, or do you think its a good age to get into this? By the way, I have no family (anymore) and I am looking into this as a career- 1. because I love driving and 2. because I am looking to move to the USA or maybe Canada and do it over there one day. That is my dream..what do you think? Thanks buddy!!

When the UK left the eu. People were saying there wouldn't be so many foreign trucks. Doesn't seem that way to me

25 years HGV driving 13 of them were class 1 and that's me done hung my keys up. A lot of it was down to the poor facilities that drivers get in this country and the attitude of the staff who you are working for or where you're delivering to is absolutely disgusting and the idiot car drivers on the road that are late for an appointment or work 🤬🤬🤬. They need to make the job more attractive to people especially the younger generation and reduce down the hours and make it more flexible for some people instead of tarnishing everybody with the same brush. Most security guards forklift drivers or warehouse staff need an absolute reality check. Some of the language that comes out of their mouth is absolutely disgusting and they are on a big power trip thinking they are something. The government needs to have a big reality check into the driving industry and change it massively otherwise the whole entire thing will collapse. Then I will have a massive laugh at all the people that used to piss off truck drivers and say trucks shouldn't be on the road because let's face it there will be nothing on the shelves to buy and there will be no computers to do online shopping so bye bye British economy and the country will collapse. So for the average Joe bloggs that doesn't understand this remember everything you own see look at and throw away lives it's life on the back of a wagon. so no trucks no life no economy no little life's luxuries or treats. Welcome to selfish Britain things need to change for the better massively in this country regarding HGVs and HGV drivers. Sorry for the rant but it's true and I have to say I have loved my jobs but it's just been the people behind it that have ruined it. Happy trucking everybody and keep the backbone of Britain going 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 because when you lot stop the country will die. STOP TREATING TRUCK DRIVERS LIKE SHIT💩💩💩.

Daylight robbery @£34

Same Truck as me and hope that Not Electric Cars on Board as they going up in flames on Transporters

I'm home to bed every night. 8 hours a day. £936 a week. Happy trucking.

How can one get into car transporting driver?

Great to stretch your legs but that's taking the p!!

Is it bad when Neil say, where’s the toilets, and under your breath you say ”turn Left”. I’ve spent too much time in services.

Grimsby town centre..freshney place is a sad place to see nowadays consisting mainly of charity, tattoo, vaping, budget pound shops, nail bars and bookies. Many shops now boarded up or empty. Online shopping, business rates, out of town shopping, lack of policing and security in the town centre. Cutbacks from the government and local councils means that there are less police which in turn has lead to an increase in crime. This could've been avoided by abolishing business rates for town centre shops, free car parking, greater taxation of online businessess.... otherwise the death of the town centre is inevitable.

Should have toilets at parking small concrete men womens toilets

Enjoyed my time as a trucker, car transporter driver for Eddie stobart then bca automotive, 5 years as a removal driver now, I drive 10 miles round trip,

You're too nice, i would have told that guy to eat a bucket of sht. Thanks for sharing your videos 👍

He thinks your trying to get them out of the country lol Guilt

Why don't they put portable loos outside at least that helps

£22 at Lymm £25 with a meal voucher

Best thing to take with you is a comfort bottle saves you a walk that’s what I do

Keep on trukkin, love the warts

Hey! Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!😜

You could argue the long walk encourages some much needed fitness in this industry

When are you putting up the dash cam videos on? Keep up the good work!
