Well that was something else last night, driving south from Bathgate to Coleville, North East Leicestershire. That snow was something else with us enduring a 17 hour run. This guys, at this time of year, is the hardest part of our work and something you really have to be mindful of in this industry. The weather can catch you out, even for experienced drivers.
Great outline of life in a rural community. I live on a shooting estate, come from a typical housing estate so total new life style but love seeing the guns out on the pegs. .
Great video mate! Thanks! Result nice finish time for a Friday, Hope you have a great time at Center parcs.. My sister + Partner took my Nephews to one last year and they said it was fantastic, So many different activities to do! Take care mate

Hi Darren m8,Followed the channel and your content for a while now but never comment,Can I ask if you don’t mind,How does the very long hours affect family life??Im asking as like yourself,I had a very small child when I worked at Glasgow airport around 14 15 years ago,Same as you now,14 15 hour days and not even getting home some nights,In the end it wasn’t viable as I was missing out on so much with him and the missus,Aye,The money was fantastic,But to me there’s more to that,Luckily through a pal I got a warehousing job 5 mins up the road and it’s a straight forward 8 hour shift,6am till 2pm,Money obviously isn’t as good but life is better,Thanks for the content m8,I love watching the vlogs from the comfort of my couch😂😂Keep up the good work big guy👍👍
Thanks for tuning in stevie. Luckily it’s not too bad on the family life, with the early starts and being home for 18:00 I still get to spend time with the family and I always make sure to spend time with the family at weekends to catch up. Don’t get me wrong - in the weeks when the hours are more towards 15hrs a day it can take its toll for sure. Have a great evening buddy
@@Life_of_Darren Cheers for the reply m8,Much appreciated,It’s that dreaded time of night now where the alarm gets set for 4,30 in the morning😂😂Never mind,That’s Monday done,Only 4 to go till the weekend😂😂Take it easy pal👍👍

@@petermcelvogue7521 it’s the worst part of the year for sure, one day of bad weather could cause you to be out for the night
