Sounds like the seed has been planted and when you start thinking about replacing the main Money maker then it’s time to change.
I would start emptying the yard……get rid of that other Unit, The coach and any surplus toys you have to raise funds for new Unit.
You don’t have time for projects anything you buy now needs to be making you money from the moment you have it.
Anyhoooooooos loving the videos and definitely more views from the Cab, some on the scenery is absolutely stunning. 🤙🚛🤙🚛
Get it away Sandy, before it drops a liner. A lot of people having that happen with that engine, yours truly included. That's got a lot to do with why they're not making good money.
A lad I know got his block repaired and oversize liners fitted recently, at around 500,000km.
It was done by Scania, for a very nasty 20k,+ vat.🙈
Love your videos. you are a true, hard-working one man band .
A know your a scania man but buy a merc, 5 years warranty, I have had 3 and all were top class, it's the same as parts your buying the name. Good luck 👍 I really enjoy your videos 😊
Enjoy watching your videos great to see you working hard to keep your company growing then you look at trucker Tim who appears to be working on RUclips more than grafting keep it up sandy people like you deserve to succeed, Andy
Obviously he’s gonna be working more on RUclips when it earns more than haulage you absolute sausage.
Sandy. Get your se a Volvo. FMX. 540. I SHIFT. GREAT TRUCK. PLUS IS GOT THE GROUND CLEARANCE. FOR WHEN YOU GO OFF ROAD. PLUS YOUR COLOURS WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC. RUSS IN HILLAM NORTH YORKSHIRE 👍P. S. Keep your truck. If it's paid. Keep it..
When your deciding to get a new lorry go to smith brothers and they have good second hand 2021,2022 lorry’s perfect for what your doing specked out for wide heavy loads
In my 26th year as an owner/driver and have that same conversation in my head daily, 2nd hand is still a bit pricey yet I would say !!
Sandy look back at the merc you had for a week, it would suit you perfectly once you painted it in your colours 😉
The prices that Main dealers charge for truck parts is shocking at times, nothing todo with quality, demand or anything other than massive margins since they can get away with it, the truck needs to be fixed
In my opinion.....the pre dpf and add blue trucks are way far better.....and more reliable.
Ok there's the wear and tear Parts and running gear is older and may need attention.
But least it's not like the new ones.....ok before break....then all shit kicks off when switching back on....
It's a 50/50 split chap.
Go for old or keep your unit, and keep up with repairs.
Or get newer.......and take a gamble.
I know where my thoughts are.
IV no computer to plug in....but IV got spanners and hammer....
Good look in your choice Sandy.
Hi Sandy as all ways a great working video & one thing I never get board of is the scenery up your side of the country , absolutely amazing part of Scotland , stay safe & …keep on Trucking
Catch 22 situation, he knows what he's got but fair enough its got to the time its inherited all the little niggles older motors have, but on the other hand he could buy a great purchase on paper but end up wi an absolute plug and in the garage more often than not, so the way the he takes his next steps is completley up to him. Personally i'd crack on wi fit i know i take the hits as it comes.
It may have cost you money but in the long run I bet it saves you money. When the parts bill every month is more than the payments on a new one its time to change it 😂
Parts bill plus lost earnings
Time for a second driver and start building that fleet! Old truck can run the lighter loads, new truck can do the larger stuff.
If one goes down then you have options.
Good wee video sandy
If you can keep old truck as spare and get other grafter mibby but newer and abuse it and let old girl rest up for wee while
He would never get much trouble with his replacement if he keeps that one for a spare as that's sods law so best idea for sandy
well sandy i would keep grapfting that lorry for a few more months to get the funds up and then maybe have a look around for a new yoke, i think old trucks is better as less technology and
crap but its up to you
Definitely time for a new truck this one will cause heartache and stress from now on its only just started the guys right clear the yard out raise some ££ and start over you thought the payments had finished !!!! get some new ones and begin again
Keep it sandy everything you repair will last another 5 year. Put your money into a workshop with a pit. Two 40ft containers for side walls, and a peaked roof fabricated out of steel.
nice to have meet you at duncans sandy aye time to think about renewing the truck on your own you need a bit more reliability
Good man big hello From Omagh.
Id keep it put it on light work if need be keep grafting and keep options opened bro
Spare parts for anything are are rip off nowadays Sandy.
I recall going to the main dealer for a part one time but they didn't have one in stock that day so they gave Dingbro a call and they said they had one in stock on shelf.
Well I was given a purchase order slip from the dealer as i said that I would go and pick it up myself as I needed it there and then as it was just around the road from the dealers.
When i got the part I saw the price of it on the Dingbro computer screen and almost thought of just paying for it myself, When I was invoiced by the dealer for the part it was for 4 times the price it was on Dingbro's computer !!
The dealer didn't even collect it as I did that myself. Just goes to show how much of a mark up there is on spare parts 😢😢😢
Time for a 770s sandy go big
This 👌🏻😉
£192,000 before I paint or put lights on it
keep her going for another 6 months to a year , then see where youre at . Keep er lit
I would keep sandy another used one you would start again at least you know what’s been done on that one
Sometimes the newer truck is a better way as you have the reliability plus you no your monthly costs . I'm not saying new stuff doesn't give trouble but it is less likely to have unexpected costs pop up.
Hi sandy i have 3 trucks 2 older r500 and a year old 770s its a year old . I am replacing the 2 r500 next month with 2 low milage 2 year old scanias both will be scanias a 530 and a 500 . I have been in this industry for 36 years and i got like you wifh the older trucks needing this and that and then more this and that so i bit the bullet and sent shopping there are some great deals about and i had had ef buying parts every day .. . Now your truck has served you well but its starting to need a lot of bits that wonf stop ghere comes a point a decision has to be made .sandy look around there is some really good low milage trucks sometimes you just have to go out of comfort mode .work out tims labour parts time over last 2 years and be honest wigh it then go shopping you will find a way to getting a much newer low milage truck . Dont make mistake and get trapped in buying lot of new parts its done it job you made it good you are a great bloke vhard worker you make it happen you will get the work in to pay it off
Ad blue (fancy water) delete would work out even cheaper 😎
hi sandy i put a 90 degree bend on the end of the exhurst so it points down more it stops a lot of heat going at them cables etc
Ground clearance for the woods
@@Sandy-Flat-Out-Flat-Broke could you wrap them with furnace control cable sleeving? I've used it in the past for AV cables running close to wood burners.
I really like your videos
I've never understood why when calling a dealership and you ask for stores they ask who's calling?
What's the point you've no idea because when you're put through you've not told the stores anyway!
keep safe sandy
You will probably turn your nose up at it but a Renault T-HIGH 520 Evolution is a great truck customers say they pull better than a Scania, give one a try sandy see what you think! Love the content by the way keep it up 😎👌
I don’t turn me nose up at any bit of kit, But I wouldn’t last long term in my work and it’s the resale value of the thing as well
Sometimes better the devil you know !,if it’s paid for run it, can buy newer but your also buying someone else’s cast off,maybe more problems, I’d give it six months and look
All the best with your decision mate,end of the day it’s your business
Try too upgrade and may be light work if u can
I'll get a lot of hate for this but consider a demo on a 570 iveco. You'd be surprised by it and relatively cheap to buy
There fine for M6/A1 roads nut not there’s roads and don’t make a tag
Next gen R500 is right up your street if the account allows 😂😂
Hi sandy matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 it all depends on what you're truck is costing you every month on part's and what you are getting every month for jobs you are doing so it's swings and roundabouts every month for you really sandy matey 👍 or get the whole truck checked over and see what is wrong with the truck and what parts you'll need to put your truck right. But like you said that truck of yours is a great truck and it works hard. And there is a saying it's better the devil you no than the devil you don't no with a different new truck.... Just bare that in mind sandy matey 👍 thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 hope to hear from you soon
Also Wirral :-)
Hire a guy to run your spare part-time ( if you buy another and keep the one you have) .
This is a RUclips channel, of course you must buy a new truck no matter what and then do lots of upgrades to it, renew all of the interior, fit new wheels and tyres etc etc.........profit for the business you say? oh yes! nearly forgot that! Oh well maybe have to start a new channel
Just keep it from under your
Swap it for a MAN, run well, pull well ans a decent cab interior
Give it another 6 months see how it goes then make a decision
If you sell that lorry wats your new driver gonna drive 🤙
Ayy up sandy,Did you get your dad’s old truck up and running?can you use that it seems a shame not to use it
Got a right dilemma at mo havent ya haha stick with current one for another 12months pal
Man’s so salty over trucker Tim lol🤣
😂 I ran truck before social media don’t need it just do it to show people good and bad
better the devil you know
Better the devil you know Ol son
