Hello Kev at 10:17 never park on your left up to that bank. I had two full pallets of wine nicked about 5 yo back when I worked for Archbold. Yep the slashed me to bits had to call the garage. Great vids mate safe trucking.
The same thing happened to me at Junction 5 Doncaster services, extra long trailer pulled out It was parked beside me and took my passenger door and all my mirrors. scared the poop out of me glad you're ok it's one of the worst phone calls you can make to your boss. Keep safe better to be late than dead on arrival
There is not a lot of space in-between the parking bays from the access road when parking up at j23 truck stop, especially when its quite full and parked on the same side of the café along the fence
The little transit, saw you with the hazards on, the other artic just scrape under and thought "I ain't risking a bridge strike in this bad boy" starts to turn rand
Thanks to Trucker Jay, I'm a new subscriber mate. Great videos. Nicely done with cuts and music. Really like whole content. Oh well, cant wait to update mine to class 1 after New Year. Stay safe !
@@KevTee Thanks Kev. I love trucks. I had a break for quiet sometime and Iwhen I came back on truck I realised how much I missed it. You and Jay and LukeC are quality and I'm learnig a lot from you guys. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mr Kevtee. Enjoyed another one of your videos. ( Bit behind ) But no better way to spend a wet and windy Thursday night. Thanks again. Stay Safe and Take care. John Whitehouse.
I wouldn't stress delays happen alongst you have done you best. it happens to all of us delays holdups and change of plans.. There are always Idiots on the Roads and Truck stops🤔. hophally it gets sorted out. Very good Vlog as usual and keep up the hard work and Drive safe.🚛
I used to go to Shepshed quite a bit, we used to load chippings out of the quarry over the road so used to try and get in the cafe when we did! I believe they were Keyfuels as well, so used to be a handy stop for us. Also did the feed mill there once or twice. We went up to Alton Towers from our home in Norfolk, me and my girlfriend at the time and another couple, and I dragged them all in there for a fry up which my Mrs at the time wasn’t overly impressed by, but our friends loved it 😂 I actually thought as you pulled in through the barrier ‘there doesn’t look much room to manoeuvre in there’, and it wasn’t even that busy at the time. Hope you soon get the motor sorted and aren’t driving it about with scars for months. All the best 😊👍🏻
Another good instalment, Except the collision. Do truck companies go though insurances for small prangs or just pay for the repair to save on premium increases?
Hi kev we have missed your videos, glad you are ok, great video , how are you and the family, take care and drive carefully PS how come the driver didn't see you parked up
Was that bridge 14'9 or 14'0? Couldn't make it out. Id poop my self too as our trailers are 14'10 and upwards. But Garmin, if programed prop is good when it comes to bridges.
I know that bridge very well at Longham, I managed to fit my estate car length-ways covering the two lanes, note to self, not let 'mates' sit in the back with access to my handbrake at 5 am (it was a wet wet road) thankfully, I didn't hit that damn bridge.
Kev, quick question. I am still learning regarding the WTD and driving hours. Thing that's stumping me is the 90 hours in 2 consecutive weeks. Is this working time or driving time? I hear a company near me has drivers and i was told they do over 50 hours per week, could this be true?
Hyia kevtee another fantastic video/ music, look like you had a he'll of a first day+ early wake-up call, Doing a fantastic job keep safe take care 👌👌👍👍😃
Good to see you posting vids again Kev, i thought you packed it all in, and went on the talk show circuit after you last successful appearance at the truck show!! :-).
There is nothing more annoying then someone else damaging your truck. You spend all your time looking after it then it all gets undone by someone else's actions. One of my pet hates, certain to get the blood boiling
Indeed mate, completely lost all motivation to keep it pristine at the moment and the dirt does a good job at hiding the damage, soon as she's fixed I'll be back on top of it again 👍
david hopkins tell me about it, at my place we got night drivers who are usually non English speaking feral motherfuckers who don't give a fuck about the inside or outside of the truck.
It's hard to know what I am looking at with those photos. So much close up, I don't know which part of the vehicle it is without context. This is a common mistake when taking photos. Where it is in relation to the others and then add the close-up.
@@KevTee nothing wrong with too many photos. Insurance can choose whatever they feel shows the appropriate damage. Plus one photo may appear better on a screen better than another.
Been watching for a while but came across this lol, when I heard J23 truckstop I switched on as I cycle past that daily along that cycle path 😂 would've been long enough to notice its a shithole around here
Don't worry, I don't charge you for watching the adverts there free, along with the many hours I put into creating this free content for you to watch 👍
nick AF I agree with you on that one, nearly 15years doing this job and I’ve had a gut full already as soon as I can get out of this industry the better. Sick and tired of traffic planners who couldn’t find their arse with both hands, security staff that think they’re the police, missing load references. The pay is a joke as well for the hours we have to put in. Each to their own though if you actually love what you do
KevTee There is probably lots of bands out there that would let you play there stuff for promotional purpose , if you edit the tune and bands name when your playing it , just a thought , any advertising is always welcome , you could ask around bands in your own area , cheers , C Taylor .
Who do you feel is showing off David? Personally I feel it improves awareness as all is there to see and the slightest mistake is open to criticism, also giving a running commentary increases situational awareness. Talking to a camera is also much safer than talking on a phone using a hands free device, if I need to pay particular attention to a situation I often just stop talking to the camera, if your talking on the phone the other person isn't aware of a developing situation forcing you to divide your attention between continuing to listen to the conversation and reacting to the situation in front of you.
That wee song sounds like "we are gonna drive in a lorry"! 👌😂
Love all of your videos KevTee !! My son and I can't get enough of them :D
Hi Kev good to see the vlog back sorry to hear your truck got damaged can't believe he hit you 😞 be safe mate
Hello Kev at 10:17 never park on your left up to that bank. I had two full pallets of wine nicked about 5 yo back when I worked for Archbold. Yep the slashed me to bits had to call the garage. Great vids mate safe trucking.
Such a kind professional driver letting people out. Nice to see, don't ever lose that : )
Thank you Gary, all part of of being a professional driver as far as I'm concerned 👍
The same thing happened to me at Junction 5 Doncaster services, extra long trailer pulled out It was parked beside me and took my passenger door and all my mirrors. scared the poop out of me glad you're ok it's one of the worst phone calls you can make to your boss.
Keep safe better to be late than dead on arrival
There's always another truck coming the other way over that bridge whenever I take an artic to Bournemouth!
Another great video Kev, not a pleasant early morning call!! Still catching up with your earlier vlogs! Keep up the good work and keep safe!

Great to see a video from around my old stomping grounds.

Thanks for watching mate 👍

Another good instalment, Except the collision.
Do truck companies go though insurances for small prangs or just pay for the repair to save on premium increases?
Depends who is at fault, in this case it was done through the other drivers insurance.
Thank you kev for the excellent video and keep up good work.
Thanks for watching James, much appreciated 👍
Your kids must be having fits with dad listening to tranz music lol😂😅 "GREAT VID M8"
Very well edited vlog Kev as usual
Hi kev we have missed your videos, glad you are ok, great video , how are you and the family, take care and drive carefully PS how come the driver didn't see you parked up
When is the “accident”?
Excellent video as always Kev. Really enjoyed it. The editing must take ages to get it to that level, very nicely put together.
Cheers Josh, thanks for the kind words 👍
New to channel, love the vids but what camera set up are you using to record on dash?.....I'm aware you probably covered this many videos ago🙂
Another fab Vlog apart from the poor truck! Good content kev keep up the hard work and drive safe! 👍
Fantastic video, great music, u have a funny sense of humour too. 👌👌👍🏴
Thank you, glad you enjoy the content.
Hi Kev...sure i know u from somewhere...did i do a CPC day in Exeter with u a few years ago....Bob....Paignton.....
Just found your channel and Loving the videos I've watched so far. Not too keen on the choice of background music, but thankfully i know how to mute.
Hey, welcome to the channel. I try to vary the music as much as I can. Glad you enjoy the content 👍

The joys of Longham Bridge. I seem to go over it every day lately. You can squeeze two trucks on ast it’s always fun.
Hope it wasn't you that took out Longham bridge yesterday 😂
KevTee ermmmm noooooo 🤭🤫🤥
What do they charge in truck stops
21:50 Kev is a Lannister!!
Sorry, I've just watched GOT before this xD
Kev please help me the song playing in this 4.00 what is it i need to know
Great video Kev, keep safe fella.
Nothing worse than accident damage. Regardless who's to fault it always puts that horrible sick feeling in your stomach.

Hello Lad this might help you - www.returnloads.net/hgv-drivers-hours-explained/
gary63693 that's driving time, average 45 hours a week = 90 every 2. I never get no where close to 90
You can work 60 hours a week, I believe.
12.5 hours ....... thats part timers hours lol :D
I get lucky sometimes 😂
@@KevTee I got lucky today 11.5 :P not bad for my Friday although they did call me at 0430 to go in early (should have started at 0930 today)

Haha thought I was waking up in the middle of an earthquake 😂
I'm not a big fan of jct23 anyway the food and showers are pretty good but the yard is always full of stinky Fred Sherwood waste trailers.
Good to see you posting vids again Kev, i thought you packed it all in, and went on the talk show circuit after you last successful appearance at the truck show!! :-).

Hey Kev my dad is a lorry driver. By the way what is the name of the music used I love it!
