Hayley because of your videos/tutorials, I secured a Class 1 job. Best teacher ever G. Thank you

Hayley! i got my first job as a driver, been offered a contract today! yay!!! Airfreight from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport! Thanks for the motivation to get it!

honestly I really dont like when companies try to pass blame for things like this. A haulage company cannot operate on the premise that no damage will ever be done, and that *most* drivers would never deliberately damages their trucks. accidents will always happen and there should be a repair budget in place for this. Thankfully my company has never went down this route and will always repair the truck when required.

Thanks 👍 again Hayley for posting your videos and stay safe out on the road this week.

Thanks for sharing your story Hayley.

Whooop whoooop I get another mention 🤪🤪. I should start charging for my advice 😂😂😂

I tell you what. You are a true pro! Honestly you have got my total respect.

Great video Hayley, good to see you working the wheel 👍 Camera/cameras working well, proper Monday yawn after a nice ride out. Thanks for sharing and stay safe all. Tara a bit.

Really good video Hayley keep up the good work 🚚

Love the video Hayley you're doing a great job and like i said before you are enjoying your work keep going girl x

Awesome vlog as always hayley really enjoy them

Nice one Hayley. This industry it’s hard when your new. You learn when it’s going wrong. Then you get told the tips or how to do it or what you should avoid. Shalom

Hi Hayley, I'm on a curtain sider this week and doing bay deliveries so 2 new challenges together. I have to wear glasses for driving too and try and remember to leave them in the cab in wet weather or I end up with spots in front my eyes 😂 have a good week

Hayley, it was nice to see you driving around cheadle heath, i live in that area. The airline thing annoyed me, we know you take care, and things do happen. Thanks again for another great video.

Interesting video Hayley as usual xx as you said it wasn't a deliberate or careless action that caused the hose failure but an accident ( an unforeseen event ) more over a design fault xx Good to see your smiling face again Stay safe and healthy xx

My first day as an hgv1 driver in england in 2005 i was given a brand new daf xf 530! There was still plastic wrapping on the tractors bed!! Your vlog and your accent reminds me my happy days in my beloved midlands!! Passes my class 1 in swynneton!! Regards from greece! You have int audience too!! Drive safely! Respect!

NIce vid H. Stay safe n well.

from one arctic driver to another (30 years on the US roads ) ..... braid your airlines and power cable together, then they are less likely to droop down in the way of things ..... good luck driving ......... :)

Hi great video really clear bit harsh with the you pay for damages especially if it not intentional, accident happen you can’t see if the air line hook up on the corners or anything else the company I drive for don’t charge us for things like that when I take the lst trailers to certain deliveries we drive in and turn round you defo have to watch the lines if it a tight turn I’ll stop half way round and check as sometimes they get caught on the corners and they are only half stretched and I can just knock them off to save any damage if it ever happens to you again and you are empty disconnect the air lines and push the brake and shunt buttons together and this make the trailer free wheel and you can get it moved or take back to the yard I drive a daf cf 440 and the dash loves to sing to you so I know the tunes of by heart 😂 think the new fleet there getting are man / merc so would be nice to get higher up great video take care stay safe xx

Near the end you said the MAN had an air leak, yet it"s just come back off inspection..defect it. Suzzies deteriorate over time due to exposure to sun and heat. Many companies have two spare airlines on the lorry, red and yellow or one black plus two large adjustable spanners to enable you to change them if they snap. I have had them go on a motorway at 56mph..luckily a service line. The red would just have locked the trailer brakes up. Great video thanks for posting.

Hi Hayley. Thanks for your videos and insight into being a HGV driver. I have my class 1 test in the morning after a week of lessons and passing the 3a. Feeling a bit apprehensive at the moment!

Biker couple here, from North East England, love the idea of you doing a Bike Related Vid/s Tegzzy n Maz

Hayley, there's an old American Country Song from 1968 by Tammy Wynette that fits you in this instance... "Stand by Your Man" LOL, it's perfect!!! Though I guess it should actually be "Stand by Your MAN"... LOL! I'm partial to Yamaha as that's what I've always had so, congrats to both of you!

Hi Hayley, My class 1 licence is on the way back to me after 22 years with the DLVA, (Insulin Junky!). I’ve just taken a quick peep at your excellent channel to see what’s changed while I was away. Sat nav, telemetry, automatic gears, digital Tachos, drivers cpc, working time directive alongside drivers hours, dash cams, blind spot mirrors, electric windows on the drivers side, ad blue and of course RU-vid! Anything you think I may have missed, crumbs sounds like I was driving The Flintstones car!

I hope you're all keeping well Hayley

Hayley ideally. Even though I stretched my airline by screwing it. You should disconnect them and then use the black shunt brake on trailer then you can jackknife it and not snap cables

Thank you!

Never worked at a company that charge you for damages, that's ridiculous

I guess British trucks don't have "pogo sticks" on the back to keep the air and electric lines in the clear. My Volvo VN had a handle on the upper back of the sleeper to bungee the lines to.

Great reg for your bike at 16 minutes on the red van 😂 good bikes MT09’s I had one in 2018

I had the same thing with my TomTom losing gps signal. Had it in the same place as usual in the middle of the window then for weeks it was playing up. Moved it next to the pillar and not had a problem since.

Great video

Nice video like always

First of your videos ive watched . Will b lkn for more well done your doing great job .👍

well don keep on trucking👍👍

I agree with the others. you should not be expected to pay for repairs to the truck. Where do they draw the line, new tyre if you get a puncture, new trailer curtain if its damaged!

It always seems to me that the seating position in all the CF's is set way too low in the cab, never mind the overall cab height being lower. The policy there with drivers paying for damage like that is not reasonable and I can not agree with it. If the company wishes to claim back the expense of driver damages then it should be looked at as a case by case basis where you can usually tell the difference between accidental damage and damage caused by reckless behaviour. The last time I had accidental damage was when I completely smashed the light bar beacons on the roof on a branch when trying to get out of a gateway. After picking up the bits I called the boss who told me not to worry about it as shit happens. It had a new light bar fitted overnight and it was never mentioned again. I was looking hard to see if I was anywhere about as we've had two jobs in that area where your second drop was so we've been running through there for five days. Loved the video all the best.

I have had 5 new cars in the last 11 years and they all had Tom Tom which is rubbish. I have my own Garmin which has NEVER let me down. I cannot praise Garmin enough.

Good morning Hayley I love yours videos

Bay day with the air compressor.

I saw a Ks wagon on the Wolverhampton rd the other day

I'd like to voice my opinion Hayley you should say in future when your judged in court by a judge of curless driving you will pay up :-) also if summit happens and trucks written off do you hve to pay for the truck trailer and load because they have insurance and that being comprehensive should cover it

Goodness Sake Hayley!!!!! This sounds ridiculous.There’s many companies that lookafter you during your day to day trials and tribulations. Id be looking elsewhere. You’re a considerate person….please seek out and get a proper job. We’ve several drivers that’s caused thousands of pounds worth of damage…most repeatable companies are self insured … It’s guaranteed “ accident’s happen” you can’t be coming to work stressed about punctures,light cluster damage,fuel cap losses scratches,nicks and bumps……!!! Ps, thanks for flashing me in on the M6 before Stafford services last week…..😊.

Wait till someone decides to pull your pin then all of the suzzies break off and you have 20 ton on the landing legs too wind backup now have padlock as well as dog cilp fifewheel

Hayley you have picked up a lovely bike 🏍,please vlog,just cover Speedo 👍.

I know you said lorry park full . Coach parking is for reason many hgv drives block this parking . Coaches have the same break neads plus passenger safety too think of school children elderly etc if you use those bays dont moan if you are boxed in .

Outrageous policy.

Lucky with compressed air.

Hi goo d video When am at home l download videos so when waiting got some thing to watch and not need the internet to watch them. A bit hard of them on the air lines keep safe

Hi Hayley it’s Nessa. You same to have taken to class 1 like a duck to water. I can see why you were wound up about the air line situation. That was ridiculous of them to say you were being charged without even asking you what happens first. It makes me wonder how many drivers have been charged for things out of their control!

What's the camera you have for the mirror view? Love these vlogs by the way, passed my Class 2 three weeks ago and am thinking about vlogging my journey

Hey Hayley won't you and your partner think about purchasing a motor home so that you could enjoy some time away from work and away from home Together this would allow you to do some beautiful locations Like Helmsley Thornton le dale Kingston upon Hull and Beverley and York Would you ever think about purchasing one full time then you could do some very kind blogs

Bless you Hayley I stretched an airline lol

Hi can you make a video of the most common mistakes make in LGV Class 1. And how to improve it. Thank you

If you are asked to pay for something which your employer accuses you of damaging, insist that they give you the damaged item. Then inspect it for signs of fraying elsewhere. Which would suggest that it was already well worn before you took the vehicle. The fact that there was nowhere to tie the air line suggests a possible design fault. I am currently swotting for the theory test; did you say that 2 lines were the same colour? I thought that they should be different. That suggests that a line has failed before, and they had to replace it with what they had in - if yours was the older of the 2, that would be a sign that it's wear and tear, not mistreatment. When you say that you want the damaged item, it's possible that they might back down, as they will most likely know that you intend challenging them.

Hiya Hayley. Having heard just now about Readly, I've just gotta check it out sometime presently. Especially for a friend, I've just gotta. I've done this before, looking up old & retro magazine contents via other websites as well. How far back so the various back issues in all categories go, by the way?

Better off with the MT than all that Honda malarkey.

If I was you I would defect the trailer 👍as a petrol tanker driver we don’t take out a defected trailer then you can’t get blamed for any damage 😀👍

Teach it

Hi. In my area l see keep safe

We are thinking of visiting the Backcountry Living Museum in the summer on bikes from Devon , Is that any good ?

👍

Accidents will happen

Charged for damage - times have changed. Dear me…

Hi hayley can you say if you ever use poa ? only if you can k ;)

Hayley, can I ask, what exactly does your contract say regarding damage. Is it referring to any damage or just meaning airlines and suzies

MAN, MAN, MAN ... ;)

Hi, taking my class ce at the end of this month. Any tips for someone like me going basically car to ce?

hello friend one question can you help me please how much money can be made truck owner europe per month and week 🙏

i know one or two drivers that work at on braod

U'll probably be charged for the air leak aswell hayley!!!🤣😂

Sorry Hayley but we are going to have to charge you for the air leak, and we have calculated that you have also wasted 20,000 cubic feet of air so we we will also have to charge you for that.
