Thanks for the Trip. Each time, occasional Details of your Unit would be nice. [Phoenix AZ]

That ramp down in to the underground depths had my ears popping and my heart rate at worry level. The noise down there with reverse bleepings, engine noise and all other noises down there are enough for a new driver to that location doing a blind side reverse could lose situational awareness. Getting out have a 👓look around, best idea. Think many delivery places want to be fully automated with no staff to help, when a little help is much appreciated. Great view of the wind frayed union flag on the cab door side, Looks amazing ✅ Safe travels and Ta for the vlogs. Please bring some ☀shine back to Uk. We need some. ☕

I agree with your comments regarding some one to watch you back, I have been HGV driving for 42 years, I’ve never known drivers be so unhelpful as they seem to be now, When I started out other Drivers would help you Fold your sheets , watch ya backup etc ,

I would have been more worried about that ramp making the front of the trailer open up the top of the fuel tank.... Blind side reverse...... you nailed it.... get out have a look. I often take a glove with me. pace out how far of the dock I am. then put the glove on the ground where the cab is going to be in line with it, when the back of the trailer is close to the dock. There are a couple of docks we use regular where you're usually reversing into a low sun that's sitting just above the roof line of the warehouse. Everything else is just a black shadow. I'm often bewildered how many blind side docks we have here in Australia. I can see it in Europe where the vast amount of trucks are left hand drive but here it's just bad planning, or a lack of understanding by the architect. I had a go at a couple of "truck drivers " for having a laugh at a new bloke putting a B Double on a dock. Especially when one of their trucks had a big gouge along the fuel tank and bottom step... Hoers' !!!!!It's amazing how many people were born with the whole knowledge of the universe.... Graffiti is just the same as dogs weeing on a tree.

hi ,wouldn't it be possible to fit wireless-free cameras to the rear of the trailer to make reversing easier? you seem to use the same trailer each time. just a thought.

What aggravates me is when I see a tractor with a 2 man crew the driver struggling to back & the helper sitting on his fat arse when he should be outside guilding his pal to the dock. If the driver bangs into something it will be the both of them standing before the boss explaining themselves. Lazy ass helpers. !

If you have to load there again, since they're willing to come outside and be helpful they might let you enter underground through the exit. Though of course you might first have to be able to explain to them in Spanish why it makes a difference (or make them watch the reversing process in this video!). The "senseless" graffiti is individuals' signatures. Everyone's basically writing "I was here" in artistic form.

Yeah, I dont know much Spanish either. Just the dirty words. !

Great video thank you 🎉

I always enjoy your videos, I really thought you would have had few more subscribers. You have always been one of my favorites. Stay safe.

great video 👍

Such great advice Sherralin, all drivers should be looking out for and helping each other. I remember well when I used to travel with my late husband who was a kamion driver. I wish you safe and trouble free travels. Gail, Czech Republic ❤️

Regarding that wagon picking up the 'bin' Sherralin, reminded when I was in the Army, and our unit was trialling this 'new' system in the early 1980's. Called DROPS, Demountable 'whatever' System? Cracking idea. A flatbed version could be loaded from an a/c onto a truck within mins. Flatbed loads of ammo etc, could be literally deposited anywhere in the battlfield, without forklift support etc, & the dvr scuttles off to further tasks. Sorry love feel like i have hijacked your station! Cracking vlog & by a side I hope your farmer son is no having too bad a time with the weather.

Another Great Video Excellent Blindside Please Keep Them Coming And Please Stay Safe Out There,

Love watching your videos, I Struggle so much with the reversing but getting better, you are so calm, pne day hope to be as good as you. Other half is a ,lorry driver tries to help me as you can imagine sonetimes rows! Keep up the good work. Lisa X

never moan about some1 reversing we all had to learn sometime , saying that ive been driving bulk tippers for 30 plus years and i still took 4 shunts to get under a loading gantry last week even tho im in the same place every week

Another great vlog sherrelin stay safe

I’ve done what you do on European work, fridges,flats,tilts,. And for the last 22 years untill I retired 18 months ago I did skips for a local recycling firm same as you observed, I had wagon & drag and it’s not a bad job, that driver had no rear window which makes the job difficult, we had rear windows in ours, for my last 7 years there I had an fh4 Volvo artic with a curtainsider trailer, no nights out for 22 years and good easy hours and mega wages, £15 p/hour time and a half on a Saturday, double time and a day in Lou Sundays and bank holls and a yearly 10% profit sharing bonus, holidays how and when you wanted to, I used to save all mine for a month off in December and get my bonus to so ended up with £2500 Holliday money and £2500 bonus (on a good year) also during covid got paid for holidays 30 days and wages as I didn’t actually take any holidays during the 2 years of covid, working for an own account company is way better than any haulage company,. Not as much glory as your job, but I’ve been there and done that and at the end of the day money matters,.

Cracking video as usual ! Mind how u go 👍

Hi Sherralin, another good informative video. Blind side reversing?? Yep seen many try to wing it and then there's a crunch!!! It's not "sissy"to get out and have a look and check. You'll do it fast enough when you hear that crunch!! How many in hindsight think if only I'd got out to double check. Say no more. Thanks MARK

Great vlog Sherralin always look forward to seeing you on your travels stay safe and take care 👍

and again from Belfast wee Northern Ireland 100 %Total Respect 👍

spot on about about blind side reversing seen one off them skip lorries lifting a skip the skip was over loaded when pulling it on the front wheels lifted up

Brilliant video, as always. Blind side reversing is a nightmare. I used to do it in a coach. It's not as bad as in an artic , but still bad. Very well explained. If in doubt, get out and look.

Hate to see you in rungis

👋👋...holla....😊

Blind sided. Hate it, but as you say, it happens to us all. I had to back my caravan onto a pitch. Luckily, the pitches opposite me were empty, so just drove the car on the opposite pitch, and then very slowly, reversed it back. When I was doing a quick lesson of towing the caravan, he said that you don't ever panic, and don't try and rush. When on a caravan site, people are watching and seeing what mess you get it into. He said, if you take it very slowly, it will go in, and people after a few minutes will not be bothered to watch, as slow reversers are actually more professional than those who try and do it quickly, you just get unstuck. And as you said, one of those same people could have helped, especially as I was on my own, so had no one to help back me in. I would do it for my hubby, and we were a good team😊

Thanks again 👍 sherralin for your ace road 🛣️ videos in the Scania R580.

Hi from France,what a great little video,reversing on the blind side isn't the easiest of things to do,you explained it very well,nice and slow is the way to go,hop out,have a look and Bob's your uncle.

👍👍

I'd have done it one hit of course :)

Im here my favourite thanks and ned kelly and trucker tim and luke c .

I'm on the lookout for some more lorry vloggers to watch UK/Euro based. If anybody knows any they can recommend, preferably Somebody who's got some personality, charisma, sense of humor..

I'm afraid its an age thing wanting a paper copy of things 😂

Thank you for another interesting video, enjoy your travels especially around Europe. I always wondered why trailers are not equipped with reversing cameras, especially nowadays when the technology is readily available. Surely it would make reversing, especially blind side - much easier and safer

When you started doing your reversing and saying about various things regarding people taking them p..s I thought to myself I will put a comment but you beat me to it as they forget it will come to them Monday day and they will be the one having them p..s out of them I’m afraid there’s not enough of us anymore to land hand would rather sit on their arse and watch struggle. Safe journey.

Being a granda myself, love the grandma sayings. Tizzy is such a good word.🤣🤣 Slow and steady wins the race.🤔🤔 Quite agree, it's just as easy to help as it is to criticise, and in the end probably more rewarding. Beautiful piece of reversing, if I may say so.😂😂 Nice to see you have got some good weather and strangely enough we have had the sun out in the last two days. About time. Although back to the usual in France.😎😎 Thanks again for a really interesting video. Safe journeys.

Very good and that other comment about zebra crossing are a waste of time in Spain is correct, as nobody stops when you're on one. Go carefully.

Helped a Tunisian driver the other day who was in the Uk and unsure if he could park near our depot . Google translate and we had a nice conversation !!

Blind Side reverse , Total nightmare when your on your own . It takes as long as it takes to do it safely . Another great video . Stay safe out there .

All ways love seeing your video, love your wise comments about reversing it, just take your time in doing it , saves a lot of paper work if you hit the trailer etc. could you please bring back some of that nice sunny weather out there. thanks and stay safe.

Zebra crossings in Spain don't mean zip🦓🦓🦓

Great vlog as usual looking forward to seeing the next one safe journey

I have recently found your channel it’s very interesting even though I go to Spain regularly but it’s in my car I see and understand things better through watching you. How much time at home do you get/ie social life, not a lot it appears.

That road seems to have plenty of surface cracking I agree with you on graffiti

Brilliant video keep it up

Wise words sherrie 😊

Aaah a Volvo

Big yellow truck. What make is it?

Wow,, you’re in a whole different world to anything I’ve even imagined,, such an amazing place you’re working in,, I’m sure it’s f all to you as your a part of it,, you’re just a great competent girl all round 🇦🇺🇬🇧
