    I would hardly call it a fail, he got it round the right way with no damage it’s not as easy as it looks.The best bit of advice I was given when I first started driving articulated lorries was “ make sure you can get out before you go in.”

    There seems to be some folk on here talking rubbish about having to work your way up the classes in 1993.... I passed in 93, straight from a car licence. And as for this bloke here, I know him and he's a nice bloke who actually only passed his class 1 a fortnight before this film was made. That bag of shit truck he was driving is the starter motor for fresh drivers to drive untill they have built up some experience. Plus what makes it worse is the air leak as he has to keep stopping to rev the nuts of it to build up air. The place he is at is actually known to most drivers here and is classed as a "rigid collection" so the office shafted him.... But in fairness, he got it out and no smashed up truck or cars so that's not a fail in my books!! He still works here at Bratts and now drives a 105xf.

    • @spiderman01980
      @spiderman01980 4 года назад +7

      Licensing rules change. Back in 93 there was no multiple choice questions, they came in around 98. Then they introduced the hazard perception after that. Anyone that got a car licence before 97 got a category C1 and are not required to take a 50 question case study and a demonstration test to get a DQC(cpc), they can just attend a 35 hour course. Only if you were in the army was you able to get a HGV at 18, now anyone at the age of 18 can, used to be 21. You must 1st pass cat B, get all you medical and provisional sorted out and then take cat C. Once you pass cat C you then get a provisional for C+E. Its been like that before 2006 but if remember correctly you had to wait 6 months before you could apply for C+E and now you can do it back to back. One old guy told me that you was able to go straight to an artic with no license what so ever, double LL provisional or something, dont know how true that is.

      Agreed, though in this day and age its all about money and greed, squeeze as many buildings in the smallest amount of space. There are plenty of industrial estates here in the UK that should never have planning licences for industrial premises. I know one small ind est near brands hatch, its right in the middle of nowhere and village, all access roads to this area say " unsuitable for HGV`s".

    Whether in USA or UK, if incoming or outgoing loads were thought about when building factory, give the damn trucks the room they need. It just blows my mind how factories negate what is needed to receive or ship their product. If you can not make the room, make a distribution warehouse where room CAN be found. Move with straight trucks to warehouse and ship from there and vice/versa.

    • @Dutch3DMaster
      @Dutch3DMaster 2 года назад +4

      The UK, just like many other countries in Europe tend to not have the abundance of space like the US tends to have. Our trucks also tend to have countersteering axles on trailers to help with our narrower roads. I take it the situation was pretty normal at first, but there then was an addon to a building or a new company being built and this was ignored.
      The same is true for many loading docks in Amsterdam for instance, they were designed years a go for small trucks but not for the giants we now-a-days have.

    Never will fully understand people who film situations and post the footage and spin it so negatively, it says so much about the individual filming way much more than the situation they are filming. Such a sad, simple, narrow minded individual with a blinkered outlook, zero empathy or understanding, a bit of excitement in their empty void of a life they struggle through. I may even wonder if the person who uploaded this who hides behind the name of remas851 is trying to feel better about their own life inadequacies! A strong confident human helps and encourages others meanwhile an inferior human lacking confidence tries to deflect and distract from themselves so desperately and sadly so obviously.

But even at the end when the truck is perfectly level and in line you can see the trailer top still pushing to the right.

    I remember my first day out on Class1 in 1979. blind side reverse up a narrow alley to a building site on a roundabout in Hartley Wintney. You go from pulling an empty tandem axle trailer on Friday when I passed my test to a triaxle flatbed loaded with 25 tonnes of plasterboard on Monday morning. Nothing prepares you for that first day out. Fair play to the driver here, he got the truck out safely with no damage to anything, and did it while being filmed and having several "experts" all shouting out "instructions".

    No fail here at all; this particular unit on this industrial estate does not in any way shape or form cater to artic trucks with 45 foot trailers, not to mention people with no banksman training whatsoever just shouting "woah" every second. The word is "STOP!" The driver got on with it, took it in his stride, got the job done and managed to remain calm, professional and smile throughout.
    The fact somebody took a video of this merely reflects the fact that a vehicle of this size rarely visits them to make deliveries, it's clearly a spectacle to them. Furthermore, if anybody else reckons they could do a better job, then go do it. I guarantee most of the people heckling in the comments at the driver would most probably have a panic attack in this situation.

    I'd say I call the guy in the blue shirt standing at a position where the driver can not see him much more of a problem given that should the driver backup fiercely he might not be out of the way quickly enough, along with it being a lot more comfortable for the driver to know everyone is out of the way.

    Not a fail here at all because unless you've tried to turn a 44 tonner in a tight spot like this you have no idea how difficult it is. There is no rear window in the unit which makes visibility very poor, also he's got an MAN fitted with a ZF automatic which is an absolutely horrendous truck to drive. Clutch on these is like an on off switch. If he had a Volvo FM it would be a lot easier.

    • @christianbarnay2499
      @christianbarnay2499 Год назад

      Most shopping centers don't need a full truck of goods. The normal process is to have a dispatch hub. Huge trucks handle transfers between hubs. And smaller trucks do the local delivery tour.
      When a train full of tourists arrives in town you don't send the entire train on a tour to every single hotel. You receive it in the station and taxis and buses handle the local dispatch. That's the same principle. If the huge truck doesn't fit here, that's because he was never supposed to get here.

It happens and the only way to get better at it is to keep doing it. You learn every time you do it, or so I've been told. I say fair play to this guy. In a MAN as well, which are known for shitty gearboxes too? I'd be bollocking myself in his shoes.

      Or maybe the place was never supposed to receive HGVs, and didn't even have a need for that because their reserve can only hold the content of a small local delivery lorry. But the truck company managers decided they could cut on trucker salaries and buildings costs by having the HGV driver do all the local delivery tour by himself instead of delivering all the goods to a dispatch center with smaller lorries for the final delivery.
