Chilled Goods are a whole new headache as every item needs to be checked in first and the number of damaged / unacceptable returns is massive but enjoy your new job Scott you deserve it
A lot of people don't know that a fridge trailer can weigh up to 15tons empty = heavy when loaded, and very easy to tip over if carrying hanging pigs carcasses.
I remember palm couplings from doing ferry trailers and US trailers, they're ok normally, but the adaptors seem to put them under more strain which can make them leak, especially when turning, Also used another connection on some German trailers, where both airlines are attached on the same coupling.
Count yourself lucky you’ve been around the Dartford crossing during the quiet period Scott I’ve used them palm couplings, red decided to unhook as I was coming out of a garden Center in Southampton grrrrrr
Yep I use them, here in the Netherlands and I dont like the couplings. You can always use a blank english cmr and hold it next to the dutch cmr. Nice looking MAN truck scott, and another great flog you stay safe out there👍👍👍
Good to have you back and welcome to the night shift . ( that's what I do but I start at 8pm ) . Apart from the diversions traffic is light and you soon get used to the day time sleep. Never used those couplings so would confuse me also.
Scott,a few drivers I know don't like they European couplings but a good driver like yourself it's no problem,stay safe son,and safer driving,keep them coming,best driving channel on here,regards🚛🚛🏴👍
so great to have you back doing videos Scott just wondered if you have your plates in the windscreen so people can spot you out and about on the roads?
Palm couplings were generally used for the air brake hoses between UK railway carriages & wagons for decades. Maybe still are, in fact . . . You'll see them at pretty much every preserved railway in the land.
Hiya Scott, you enjoying working for yourself ? I’m thinking of doin same thing myself nights , weekends odd days in week however it comes really . I just get concerned about money and how much to charge . How do you charge ? Per day ? Per hour ?
Ford T series? Been around a year or two but they’re not made in RHD. However if Stobart or whoever their Daddy these days enquired about a large order I reckon we’d see some made. Their German arm use them already. Built in Türkiye I believe. *F-Max not T
Better easier work on the reefer l...after 23 years of class 1 driving i can never understand why anyone would want to do rope and sheeting or any flatbed work,messing about with straps etc I know it doesnt pay any better than fridge or a tautliner job do so why bother putting more work on yourself Love fridge work or containers as its an absolute doddle
Can tell the change in work has made you happier!! Cracking job 🎉
Chilled Goods are a whole new headache as every item needs to be checked in first and the number of damaged / unacceptable returns is massive but enjoy your new job Scott you deserve it

You meant counter-intuitive. Apart from that it was great. 👍🏻
A very good Tuesday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset
Yessss - scott andrews 3.0, happy days !!!!!
Great vlog, nice to see roads I recognise for once as I am based right near that "dreaded" Dartford tunnel.
12:44 mate if you think ARDC work has long waiting don't do aircargo I dido that I had to wait 9 hours to unload 3 pallets
Put some squeeze on the seal of the parm coupling and it’ll seal
I am Dutch and I am a lorry driver so I am used to palm couplings
I’ve use those couplings al the time, then again I’m dutch so 😅 have user your kind of couplings they are better for not leaking I must say
Great to see you on the road again Scott enjoyable vlog cannot wait to see more cheers 😊😊👍👍

Nice one Scott. Great video! Keep up the good work buddy 👍
My yard isn't too far from the m25 down the A127. 7 minutes actually 😂 if you are ever passing and need a rest stop you're more than welcome
Nothing like a bit of varied work to keep you happy hey?
Such a incredible road 🛣️ video in the Man TGX 640 Scott and have a Great time on the road this week.
My little van seems to go better when it's carrying a load mate, you can hear the little turbo whistling away
In the US, those are referred to as "Glad Hands". No other type of air coupling is used.
Nice one Scott
You can spit on that adaptor ruber part to stop air leak 😁
Less green, but still the same Scott 👍.
I remember the QE crossing is blooming high up, power 🔋 640 of them.
I buddy how's it going hope you are well.that man truck looks awesome.keep enjoying life Phil 🍀👍

I hate going to place like them docks when you haven't been before 😂
since when are ford making artics
Forever but they've never been big on them.
Used to drive a 'D' series and a Transcontinental back in the day.
Ford T series? Been around a year or two but they’re not made in RHD. However if Stobart or whoever their Daddy these days enquired about a large order I reckon we’d see some made. Their German arm use them already.
Built in Türkiye I believe.
*F-Max not T
🚛👍
After unloading those onions that should of Been Shallot. Don't cry it's only a joke
DLG fruit and veg markets are quality 👌🏻
Your not going to lie wants in a while lie to me
Better easier work on the reefer l...after 23 years of class 1 driving i can never understand why anyone would want to do rope and sheeting or any flatbed work,messing about with straps etc
I know it doesnt pay any better than fridge or a tautliner job do so why bother putting more work on yourself
Love fridge work or containers as its an absolute doddle
I will say Flat work is still my favourite. Can't explain why. I feel like it gets me more involved with what i'm doing
