Hi, Luke that first flt driver was a bit careless! No wonder that pack was damaged! I have finally got some driving work myself now, 7.5tonner extended flatbed with security fencing, a steep learning curve the first 2 days but getting more comfortable with the job now. Have a good week
@@christyler373 I was my Mum's carer for a few years so I can sympathise there. I am out on a 7.5tonner again this week delivering security fencing for a local firm, bit of a learning curve but getting there now and enjoying the job
Thank you Luke Another great video as always. Enjoyed again. Very interesting two. You not mentioned your diet Hope its all going well Take care and Stay safe and safe Trucking.
I think that the FLT driver was in too much of a rush loading and perhaps not careful enough. Hope your own truck will be ready soon. Cannot believe that people do not take deliveries after 3pm especially as they dont start in the morning for deliveries until 8 to 8.30am. Good to see trucker Jay using your yfoods. Great video. Stay safe and take care.
Brilliant video as always Luke thank you, I agree with everyone else who commented on the FLT driver who loaded you first, he needs to do another course, my training stated the load has to be loaded with respect not thrown on like he did, good that the receiver accepted it, keep up the good work, keep the video's coming and stay safe.
You can press a button, where the window buttons are to switch the camera screens back on. Love driving those trucks. I find the DAFs a lot smoother to drive though. Looking forward to the next one.
You should let your wagon idle for a few mins after you have finished, if you suddenly cut the engine, you can damage the turbo and because the turbo is cooling down without the engine running, oil cant circluate
2 bits of advice for what they are worth, 1: pull your curtain forward when loading as tight to the back as a curtain or pole can be damaged in the blink of an eye. 2: leave ignition on when loading when possible to prevent mudguards dropping onto tyres and damaging mudguards or rubbers.
I'm flabbergasted they allow truck to park on such a narrow road, basically blocking that whole drive lane, forcing the traffic to yield for on-comming traffic. (19:25) .
So I've still got my hgv but been out of the industry for 20 years. Not much changes, you sit about for ages to get tipped and checked. It's a pain that places won't take deliveries after mid afternoon. Little wonder there are transport and supply chain issues. I had a unhappy copper warn/chastise/inform me about leaving the wagon running. Steamingly it's called vehicle abandonment. Got a telling off. Another ticketed me for no side lights displayed in darkness. Even though it was in a layby set back from the road. Tried to argue the point but I still got a ticket
What an annoying company I would take delivery up to 30 mins before my shift ended depending how much it was. Four pallets won’t take that long to unload
Another brilliant video mate! When you getting your motor back? First fork truck driver was a bit of a worry! No wonder the load was damaged! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛
Would you care to explain @36:50 you mention that cyclist and pedestrians "now" have right of way. Do you mean at all times ? Or, turning traffic should yield to traffic that keeps going straight ahead, peds and cyclists included? (the latter has been a rule since as long as I can remember in the Netherlands = + 50 years, possibly longer. Turning traffic should yield. Period.)
It's interesting to see that UK roadside services really have the same problem as some US truck stops when it comes to drivers parking wherever they want. Here in the US, they love to park at the fuel island and then take 30 minute breaks leaving their truck blocking that set of fuel pumps instead of actually parking in a parking spot.
I don't understand why they wouldn't take the load. Presumably they need the stock. Why not just take it and claim the damaged item back from the supplier? It was only 1 after all. I swear some people just like causing issues for truck drivers It was probably their own FL that damaged it
Hey I don’t know if you will read this or not however. Just wanted to let you know aswell I have ordered some yfood to give it a try but had nothing but issues so far. Ordered a week ago and still not received even though says 2-3 day delivery on their website abit disappointing to be honest. Inno nothing you can do about it but thought I would let you know my current experience about it all
hey Luke, love your vids man, found you from going downstairs and watching it on my parents TV, you just reminded me so much of Dash Cam Bristol but in a truck. nice to see you getting on well.
Watching this I'm struck by just how inefficient road delivery is. Speaking from the perspective as a Railwayman of twenty years experience, I realise just how much time and effort is wasted. Today you had a very tiny fraction of a load that I would have transported in the past by train. I would have prepared my train, tied on the locomotive done all the safety and brake tests, completed the journey and delivered in under three hours. I would have done the same in reverse having delivered over a thousand tons for each journey, all my driver had to do was drive the loco and follow my instructions. When I went lorry driving there was just an array of delay, arguments, lost loads and hanging about. It's a mess innit?
Your train however would not have got the deliveries from the sawmill to the end user. A lorry would have had to take the timber to the nearest goods yard, it would the have been transported to a marshalling yard, then to another marshalling yard, then to the nearest goods yard to the destination and finally back on a lorry. More like 3 days than the 3 hours you claim. Trains work fine for full loads between rail terminals but are useless for small drops as in this instance
@@andrewcook334 You see, we can't do anything about your poor education or your boundless lack of intelligence. You wouldn't even know what facilities we had because no member of the public ever saw what was there. You wouldn't ever realise that we carried ALL the Royal Mail, That many small as well as very large businesses had their own sidings, that we had our own home delivery parcel business, that the railway had its own lorries and buses. They were there but the public never noticed what was right in front of them. Even all that time ago a single parcel could arrive at a distant destination and the customer would be given a time of arrival in case they wanted to pick it up from our parcel office. Every passenger train carried parcels, mail, and goods, we had a brake van to carry all this stuff.
@@johngrant5448 I remember it well, the reason the railways lost general freight was that it took at least 3 days door to door for anything other than a parcel or a select few fresh produce trains. Locally we used to grow a lot of flowers and fruit, quite a bit went to the Manchester markets. A train left Ely each afternoon at 4pm. If you missed the train the produce went by road instead leaving far later in the evening. Eventually the growers thought, lets just use the lorries all the way, its quicker and cheaper. The person with the poor education is not me. I also remember the wonderful Red star parcel system where we had to drive the parcel to the station and our client had to go to the destination station to collect it. DPD etc do the same job door to door for far less. Businesses only used the railways as they had no other choice, why do you think it moved to the roads ? It wasn't because the roads were slower and more expensive. Drivers such as Luke do more in a day than BR workers used to do in a week.
Because if you lock the doors, someone might think there's something inside worth stealing and cut the curtains to find out. Drivers often leave the back door open to show there's nothing of high value and easy-to-steal inside.
Cyclist has right away if on a junction (which he was not) Or if on a roundabout (which he was not) The cyclist was off the roundabout in the middle of the road, as far as I’m aware that doesn’t give him right away. Even if it did give him right of way he didn’t attempt to move.
@@lukecinahgv Information much appreciated. This Australian is trying to understand because those rules will eventually arrive here too. Many thanks. Stay Safe
@@lukecinahgv I think the general consensus at the moment is that "junctions" includes roundabouts, and therefore the cyclist should have had priority; however, as you said, he didn't attempt to move, and there's also a bit of "look out for each other and sort it out between yourselves" in the new rules. Also, the bit in the video where the cyclist on the track on the left "didn't know you were turning left" - TBH, he probably had a strong suspicion that you were turning left just through peripheral vision and hearing the sound of your engine. Truck engines are not quiet, and a truck continuing down the road would be unlikely to be slowing down. You handled it correctly, though.
Nice Vid chap, I'm an ex truck driver and truck and car instructor, think about it chap, L driver stalls car engine, it doesn't mess up the turbo, How many people that said yes leave your engine running Stop at the shops, as the car is barely stopped turns off the engine. One worse thing, don't hang your dirty washing for all to see. It is an offense to leave your engine running, vehicle unattended.
I would say that you were very lucky not to have more damage on that load of wood. Was forky showing off cos you were filming, or is he always a tear arse.

You should let your wagon idle for a few mins after you have finished, if you suddenly cut the engine, you can damage the turbo and because the turbo is cooling down without the engine running, oil cant circluate
Only if you have come straight off the motorway at high rpms for ages. Back roads will cool the car and turbo.
@@Winged_Vision its a wagon tho not a car 👍

4 hours to load you and they managed to damage one pack - unbelievable.
Enjoying the videos on your channel keep up the good work now 👍👍
Luke is your truck your driving automatic ?
it is
Almost all Lorries are Automatic nowadays.
Thanks fella bit out touch with todays trucks.

why do you always park on public roads/industrial estates and not on services parkings?
Cheaper
So what time was you booked in for in the end?
3:35 think you lost your £10 "stake" - can't trust forkies on a mission you know ;-)

On screen promotions last just a few seconds and it’s only distracting if you look at it 😂. I’ll cut back a little
Brilliant vlog once again Luke and the new intro is awesome too Luke
Great video mate , Keep safe
That fork lift driver was a bit dodgy.
big hello from norwich thank you
4 hours to load not much money in that load.
Which load was damaged?
Fork lift driver WOW SPEEDY or what!!!
if that was forest timber products i have seen hoa badly and haphazardly they load a wagon
Luke, great vlog as usual. When you out on nights, do the company pay for your food & drinks and truck parking? Thanks.
Some companies will reinburst the drivers but some don't. Some drivers also use Snap

why no locks on the doors ?
Because if you lock the doors, someone might think there's something inside worth stealing and cut the curtains to find out. Drivers often leave the back door open to show there's nothing of high value and easy-to-steal inside.
What went wrong with your truck when the engine stopped
I think it was to do with either the clutch
Was that forklift driver drunk?
01:56 awh dont worry Luke! If you keep up the great progress with your diet and sport, people will stop saying that about your belly very soon! :D
Forklift driver was a bit chaotic

If the back doors are open, hopefully potential thieves won’t slay the curtain.
