Thank fak I moved onto class 2 bulk tippers,11-12 hour days,less money but a lot less stress,no more 15 or even 13 hour days.no more rdc’s with them ridiculous rules.hats off to you pal,great vid 👍👌
@@TitaniumTrucker i wish him happy retirement and all the best of health pal.dont blame you,i was ready to switch months before i did,but also tried to hang onto it,see if it changed.well,it did,like you said,it changed to worse.really like your videos pal,great set of skills and i must say i admire your patience on the road.I would’ve lost my rag a few times ,especially round London.lol 😆👍🏻
Halfway through this video and I’m like I’ve already watched this 😂. Think it was my first introduction to yourself then disappeared before I subscribed, I’ve just got a full knee replacement so does that mean I’m your titanium brother? I could be the Titanium Fukcer 😂
knee replacement my big brother got that last year think he was out the game for about 12 weeks. Titanium fucker 😂😂😂😂😂 speedy recovery mate you will have a load of RUclips to watch. I’m actually off this week as was in surgery on Monday. Back at it next week will be taking it easy try get video up some point
Yeah. It’s mostly agency that do that pallet force stuff at Uddingston. It’s brutal but I spoke with the general haulage boys and they said they try avoid it like the plague
Its my 2nd day as a class 1 multidrop driver. I have someone else with me for a few weeks until they feel I'm ok but i am bricking it. Im a new pass as well.
It’s a rough ride bro. It’s probably one of the hardest jobs to start on class 1. It’s flat out. But take your time don’t panic and get your self in a pickle. If you’re not sure get out and look and go in and ask people if it’s the right place before you go into tight places. It’s a lot harder to get out if you have a full load on a trailer the weight really makes a big difference to reverse. All the best keep me posted how you get on
I did multidrop for over a year with SW out of leeds with an artic, on a quiet day it would be 9 or 10 drops round Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire the north east was usually 12 to 16 drops including regular hospital deliveries which were a pain and one off jobs tail lifting stuff off at residential addresses. We had to get back for the night driver to take over too and although there were some calm days it was mostly flat out and hope for the best. I saw several new starters come and go in less than a week a year was long enough for me😅
Yeah mate far too much hassle. flat out all day is the reason I got away from class 2 work. You’re getting some drops bad enough trying to get a space plus give room for the tail lift to get pallets off 🙃 I had 2 ton of oversize rubber floor matts for a gym. Could get out the back doors. Guy said just hand ball them off 😂 yeah I think not pal see you later 👋🏼 Yeah well this wm armstrongs are all agency drivers for the pallet work don’t think anyone sticks it
@@TitaniumTrucker pallet network stuff is a odd one yea because the pallet network say kerbside delivery only but the place the customer ordered the goods from promise the customer that the driver will offload it wherever they want it. When I was on 18t work a customer would order 2 pallets of turf or stone at a tonne each from somewhere online and get promised a hiab or 2 man team to deliver it i would arrive on my own with a pallet truck and tail lift and they would say I want it down the side of my house or all handball off and stacked neatly at the bottom of the garden. Haha yea mate dream on you will be lucky if can manage to even get it off the tail lift and over the lip of the kerb.
@@Trav-the-trucker this is exactly it. Up Lorna down paths. I said to one guy ordered ton bag of sand. Why would you not just order it from builders merchants they come with hiab. He said delivery was to expensive because he never bought enough bulk. I said so you think you are saving money and I’m going to drag this you have lost your mind pal
@@TitaniumTrucker it is a thankless task pal I did it for 7 years class 2 and ended up in hospital twice with strangulated hernia trying to drag turf, tiles, bricks or any other dead weight up drop kerbs or uneven surfaces then in 2013 I lost all sensation in my right arm and excruciating pain in my neck, I went to hospital to be told after a MRI scan I had stretched the vertebrae in my neck so much a disc had slipped out putting pressure on my spinal cord and I needed emergency surgery on my neck. That was the last time I ever got involved in ridiculous pallet network drops. Like you say a lot of it is oversized pallets that get side loaded then they are facing the wrong way for you to tail lift off so you end up undoing all the curtain clips and ratchets to slacken the curtains to give you a bit of room to spin it and then if you do get it on tail lift the pallet truck wheels end up preventing it going down and you have to sit pallet truck on top of the goods all whist the customer stands there watching you struggling. SW wasn't pallet network but still multidrop a lot of pressure because of the volume of drops but at least working there they told the customer it gets fork lifted off or we ain't delivering your stuff and if it was a home delivery the customer was told in advance the driver will strip the pallet but you have to handball it yourself the driver will only pass the boxes down to you.
The hauliers prefer the multi drops always better rates..not better for us doing the driving but that doesn’t matter..with one droppers u are always at their beck and call but with groupage loads ur out of the way for a few days depending on where ur going..
Yeah they make the money on pallet work actually collecting loads to send them through the hub at burton on Trent. But the down side you also need to deliver Pallets 😂 and it’s no burning much diesel or mileage as your in one area really
You clearly don’t drive artics. A box van at best. but I’ll explain to you as you are clearly inexperienced let’s see if you can answer this You’re following a long vehicle. As it approaches a crossroads, it signals left but moves out to the right. What should you do? A stay well back give it room. B overtake it as it slows down. C assume the signal is wrong and it’s turning right. D get closer to pass it quickly
Jeezo mate, you need to chill a lot more, NHS Cowlairs is a breeze, Allied and Crown are a dawdle. Maybe if you done them more often you'd appreciate them for what they are. Take it a bit easier man
😂 I do try be to chill. NHS cowlairs is a breeze. helps if you have to correct postcode and street. I never said anything about the drop. Also was my first time there as I said. allied and crown first time there also think you missed my point

My old boy drove a tipper for his last 25 year retired last January. I think I’m just stubborn thinking it will get better it’s only getting worse

@@TitaniumTrucker look after yourself mate, I’m 7 weeks post surgery, discharged by surgeon no longer want to cut my own leg off due to the pain 😂
AGE 60, 34 yrs hgv/ lgv exp. ALWAYS avoided M ULTIDROP ON ARCTICS 1 (C+E) . Stick truncking (A-B) . BEST advice . Multidrop (C) 4, 6, ,8 WHEEL 18-32 TON & 7,5TON (C1) , 3.5TON for tighter drops . UNKNOW . (SIMPLES )
Probably best advice anyone could ask for cheer big man 👍 could not agree more
Its only the Depot in Uddingston that run the multidrop for Armstrongs. The longtown and Preston depots run general haulage.
