Finally someone who goes into detail how to use them. Thankyou it'll certainly help!
Finally someone actually showing this. Thank you so much
no problem
This is why RUclips is great, great guys like yourself take 10 mins out your day to show people how to do something you don't get taught while learning how to drive a hgv. I remember my first time after passing my Class 1. Got sent from Glasgow to Congleton in a curtain sider and had absolutely no idea how to buckle the curtains or anything, only ever done class 2 fridge work in cages before. Really helped me out whatever video it was at the time I watched. This one is explained and showed a lot better. It does help people massively well done 👏
Thank you, makes it all worth it 👍
As a new trucker it was good to see how to open a curtain side trailer step by step. Finally I know how it's done and I will be able to do it by myself in the future. I were in south London with a heavy load on it, had to unload them with a crap pumptruck and got a backpain because I had no idea how to open it on the side. Sadly they don't show it to us in schools even it's important to know if you work as a driver on curtain side. Thanks for your professionalism and the best on the roads
Your welcome
Thanks for this mate, very helpful, I start a new hgv job next week that use curtain side trucks and I’ve never used them before. I feel more relaxed now knowing it’s not to difficult thanks to your video 🙂
No problem they should teach you how to use them at the job anyway but glad I can help
@@TruckerJohno you would think so but no. Im with an agency as no one else hires new drivers. Get 0 support. Today I got a job with curtain sider and tail lift. No idea what to do. Learned from RUclips including your vid. Also injured myself using the lift that I was not taught how to use safely.
@@symbolicof thats bad practice they really should be showing people who don't know how to use things, Lenhams tend to have a safety briefing with new agency drivers
Thanks bro. Saved me a lot of embarrassment 😅
Easy simple instructions 👍🏼
You're welcome but never be afraid or ashamed to ask questions I had to ask how to do the curtains the first time we all start somewhere👍
honestly this was my biggest worry as a new pass, set my mind at ease a little with this class explanation cheers
Your welcome
Saved a newbie from embarrassing himself here ahaha , cheers mate.
Don't feel embarrassed to ask how to do something, I had to ask my first time how to open a curtain
Awesome, now I am finally ready for my first day with a curtain trailer. Thank you very much for the tutorial.
Your welcome
Excellent explanation
Great video very informative
Such a helpful video, cheers mate!!
Your welcome
I'm just starting out as a trucker and have never seen this being done so found it really helpful, thank you. Be nice if it had demonstrated on the 35hrs CPC but all we got was a lousy dolly knot and many hours of boredom lol
I haven't done any of the 35hour cpc stuff yet but I think most of it is boring class room stuff I will comment in a video when I do get around to doing them, and thank you glad it helps
Thanks you so much for this! Currently in a yard trying to figure out how to use these!! You are a legend!
You are more than welcome
Nice video thanks 👍
That was well explained and very informative… great vid!!!
cheers chief, driving my first curtain sider tomorrow after only doing artics before, this came in very handy.

I have just passed my class 1 and my brain has been 90mph worrying about this kinda stuff. You made it so easy to follow. Cheers

very good video mate help a lot thanks so much
No problem mate
Good video

Nice one. Got a couple of days on the agency next week with curtain siders. I've only dealt with box trailers so far.
Welcome hope this helps
Thanks first time on a curtain sider tomorrow great help.
Same here. I started hgv today I was lucky that the load I was carrying was very very light. But soon I will end up securing loads and to be honest I do not have a clue and still confused and very nervous for tomorrow and till someone shows me physically on site I will not learn. I will have to ask the loaders and hopefully they will show me out of good will. I got the licence but never was shown how to secure loads during training.
Just ask for help that what I did and still do if I'm not sure on something 👍
@@TruckerJohno thanks but some people will say you a truck driver you should know and say they too busy
Then ignore them and move on the next person some people can be arrogant like that forget we all start somewhere

How about other side? Do you have to do exactly the same? I am watching this on the eve of starting my job on a curtain side trailer. The job before were pre loaded easy accessible caged vehicle but this is new. Thanks
Yes both sides the same
Sorry just come across this. I may be doing some curtainsider work. When do you know when to put straps over the load and when to just use the straps at the side to secure a load
Depends on what your carrying if its pallets and less than 400kgs you can use the internals if more than that should be strapped over the top
it states the lashing point is rated in the little label. is the body or combing rail rated? The rail that the straps are mounted to in the roof is that rated? how does the system consider the verticals in terms of load restraint performance standards?
No idea 😁 the strap is for sure the weak link in all factors
That's a lot of questions , are you a cop
Hi Derek 👋
great video! also did the rooster pass his class 1 test ? :D
Don't know mate he didn't agree with me so we went our separate ways
So if it was windy how would you stop the curtains from flying when undoing them?
Great video and very informative, thank you!
Just open 1 at a time if you can it will help a bit
@@TruckerJohno Yh, if you needed to open both at the same time I've been told it can be easier to strap the curtain to the back door, what the easiest and best way to do that? Cheers.
If you pull them right back if you have internal straps you can lengthen the strap pull it around the curtain and and attach the strap to the body near the back doors or or you could just use one of the Curtain straps to pin it to the body when it's pulled back
@@TruckerJohno
Thanks for your help!
Think them pallets are over 450 kilo ?
250kg dry 350kg when wet at most
How come the other side is not secured from the sides. I only see one strap going in an angle.
There was straps on the other side too and another going across
@@TruckerJohno ok thanks but if overhead straps are not available is it fine to strap over each pallet instead hooking from both sides of truck. Thanks
Yes it is just be careful of crushable goods you don't want to squish anything because it will probably be rejected
