Me too mate I was doing warehouse but I’ve booked my medical it’s been 3 weeks how are things going for u
I literally used RUclips for my class 2 & 1, Cpc module 2&4 and passed all 1st time! RUclips’s class, have you passed since your comment?
ya know what I rely found it relaxing. just watching you drive and talk. not many people can do that on RUclips. but you held my attention throughout. good stuff mate

Brilliant video. I passed my class 2 today. I hope I can get to drive a lovely new lorry like yours. Good luck.
Did you? Well done mate 👍 this lorry is so nice I love it 👍

Thanks a lot. New adventures coming soon 🙏
Thanks for the all video you put on RUclips, I am newley quslify class2 has not found a job yet only agency few times 7.5 tone and 26 tone once, I learnt a lot from your video keep it on going well done Robbert. Top man
You can do it! No worries mate just wait because at the moment there are not so many jobs because of the pandemic situation, but after that would be a big demand for drivers. Thanks a lot for you nice words. I really apreciate. Hope that my videos are helping to get a better view at what is happening
I have been looking at your videos for a while now, and am very happy to say that I have passed my class2 Hgv. And this has helped me a lot thank you bro.🙏
Great to hear! Well done and I am thankful that you have found my videos helpful. Have a nice evening.
Stumbled across your channel a few days ago! Love the videos and I know all the road you are on haha. Drive to work on them all the time. Great video mate!
Glad you find the content interesting. Lovely roads isn’t it 💪👍✅ thanks a lot mate take care 👍
Love your videos. I have just got my class 2. Have been following for a while. Love the POV camera
Awesome! Thank you!
My bloody god I’m addicted to trucks, and driving. The only games i have on my PC are truck/bus simulators such as Fernbus and ETS2, and roblox, i have over 600 model trucks (collected over time), and ive driven a Scania L320, a DAF XF105 and a Scania R580, and ive driven a R35 Nissan GTR, Audi R8 V10 Plus, a Nissan Note SE, and we own an R35 GTR. I’d give a bunch to be driving that lmao. It’s my dream to truck all over Europe and that’s what I’m going to do someday whether me parents like it or not. My dad hates the idea of me doing anything other than working in an office, and my mum just generally doesn’t approve. I couldn’t care less about what they have to say about my career. That’s what I’m doing and there’s nothing they can do about it. No idea why I’m dumping all this here but oh well, enjoy 😂
I am glad that you have got a passion for driving, especially trucks :) I got that too :) I play sometimes ETS 2 too :) I think you felt good driving all that :) I know how you feel mate as my parents have had the same idea about me. They wanted me in a black suit costum doing office work easy peasy lemon squeezy but I love driving, seeing places, people, a little bit of a challenge :) is nothing that compares with driving trucks isn't it? :)
@@RobertMihalache exactly. Exactly. My dad owns a big Bitcoin broker company, he formed it himself. As much as I’d like to work with him (i dont want to work with him at all) i’d much rather be at the wheel of a truck than at the wheel of my mouse 😅
It's nothing else comparable with driving trucks isn't it
These are roads I use all the time!Nice to see a pov of my area thanks for sharing
glad you like it 😁🤝
honestly love the video keep up the excellent work
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Robert, Mamo here, admin of the facebook group "Travel Vlogs". Thanks for posting your video there, keep up the good work. Just subscribed.
Hi brother Mamo.
Thanks a lot mate, I really apreciate that, you just made my day better :)
I want to thank you for letting me to post on that group. I am thinking more and more to open another channel about travel vlogging as I am very passionate about travelling and exploring the lovely nature.
I have subscribed to your channel and would be watching your videos soon mate.
Is good to discover talented people like you.
Keep in touch,
Kind regards.
Takes some skills to drive these trucks and you guys deliver all the guitars I keep buying online 👏👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video good to see a HGV POV keep up the good work
glad you did enjoy thanks a lot mate 👍
brilliant mate all your videos doing my class 2 at the moment keep up the great work top man dude
Thank you very much. Good luck with your class 2.
Very nice video mate. Keep gooing you did goog job. I will do Class 1 and 2 as well. Great job.
Thanks, will do!
1:27:53 Totalmente de acuerdo. Parece que entiendes espanol. Realmente me gusta tu canal Robert, se nota que disfrutas tu oficio y eso es siempre bonito de ver. Yo he conducido lorries y coaches durante mucho tiempo y he visto mucha gente quemada por el oficio y alegra encontrar gente como tu. All the best Buddy!
Gracias senor 👍
Great video Robert, thank you.
Like the way you describe things; really refreshing.
Stay safe buddy.
Thanks a lot John. I am glad you did enjoy watching this episode. Any suggestion please? Thanks a lot
@@RobertMihalache Nothing Robert. You explain things very clearly. It lets people know how interesting your day can be. UK road haulage is as busy as it has ever been.
As older drivers retire; younger drivers come through.
The UK will always be dependent on road haulage.
Stay safe my friend and keep the videos coming.
John.
You are a true gentleman sir, I'm English and I respect everyone of any nationality. You do a very good job.
Thank you so much 👍 I wish everyone to be so nice like you are. Kind regards
@@RobertMihalache Keep trucking sir and safe journeys always.
thank you
Really interesting! quality video mate keep it up 👍
Thanks a lot mate👍🙏glad you did enjoy watching it

I legit spent an hour watching this, and just wishing to be in that truck driving, too.

Amazing video!!! Keep it up.
Just paid my first part of C+E licence. I am so nervous :( but i can't wait to start learning and hopefully i will pass everything and get on the roads. Any tips for someone like me who is just starting?
Good luck. The best tips are in the vlogs 🎉🥳
Love the video, great accent, very informative, thanks a lot, all the best
Thank you! 😃 Glad you did enjoy it mate, hope that it helped God bless mate all the best to you too mate

sorry to hear that
thanks mate this is really useful vlog awesome
Glad you enjoyed it Any suggestion please? Thank you
Thanks Robert I really enjoyed watching the video. Your a amazing hard worker mate. I've passed my theory. And I've got 4 days training on 1st Feb. Any suggestion appreciated
Best of luck! Make sure you pay loads of attention to your driving instructor and that you are confident enough before taking further actions.
Thanks Robert
Don't listen to those haters. Do your job and look for the good people. I just quit my previous job and I am thinking to do driving license for trucks. Thanks to you I am encouraged to do that. I am currently living in Birmingham. I am taking 1 more week off and I think to start doing my driving license! Wish mi good luck !
Good luck
I’ve been a chef for 23 years and have just got my class c so I’m hoping to join this world soon keep up the good work bro
Best of luck and you can do it mate! Life is full of surprises.
Very much love your vid great eaglish
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video mate just starting out on CPC course for 7.5 Ton then into class 2 hopefully
well that's a good decision mate. Good luck out there. I have had some 7.5t jobs paid as much as being a Class 1 driver. So if you're chasing the money you will be surprised, but of course loads of manual handling and driving. Good luck pal
Passed my class 2 last week starting a job next week. Quite nervous now, not the driving so much but the taco laws and all that bullshit lol
@graham just go straight for your class 2 mate don't waste time and money on just 7.5t.. you're covered for up to 32t then bro
Work no matter what is work pay good so keep family happy you happy keep going strong!! Great driver great trucker!!
Thanks 👍
i was confused about those Fresnel lenses too... i fugured its that weird thing that is sometimes on the passenger side window, it distorts the view so you can see the blindspot at a 45 degree angle.
Sometimes they are good sometimes they can be a pain..totally agree with you
This guy is a good man looks like he has a good heart
really? I wouldn't thought so
Nice bruh i watched the whole video. Currently i’m a multi- drop driver working for amazon in UK. But wanna get hgv class 2 driving license and work like you. Greetings from Bulgaria bro.
Thanks a lot brother. If you want to become a lorry driver go for it mate. Good luck 👍
Multumesc for sharing your experience bro
:)
Keep making your vlogs Robert......they are very entertaining and interesting
Thank you, I will
Nice one mate 👍 keep posting and avoid people that harm you
Thanks
Robert Mihalache be brave 👍
Thanks man.. I did my class 2 last year.. One question.. When you are being unloaded. Do you put your taco on other work or rest ? ( If it is unloaded for you or you have to help or unload yourself.. ) Cheers, good luck ..
You are more than welcome. Thank you. Well done for passing your class 2.
If I have to unload then it will be on other work. If I am getting unloaded without me doing anything I can either stick it on brake or period of availability or other work is all depending on you. Never stick it on brake and work in the same time. Kind regards. Cheers.
Subscribed when you started singing about the fact that it was Monday 😄😄
Haha thanks mate Apreciate that :-)
Hi Robert when you do multi drop
Is the paper work in order of the drops or do you have to work it out yourself.
Hope you can answer my question for me my first job on Wednesday
Cheers Graham.
Hi. it depends from company to company 👍
Hey buddy. What camera are you using pleseee on the head mount.. Is it a normal go pro with head straps.?
📷
Good luck to you Michael, just ignore the haters,there not worth your time,I've been driving rigids for 30 years so I know how hard it is,great video.
Thanks a lot mate 👍
Been thinking about becoming a HGV driver, and this video has been really enjoyable to watch. It's gonna be a while before I can get behind the wheel. I only ride a motorbike, so I still need to get my car license! Haha
Go for it!
Brilliant video. Had to turn off tho, my travel sickness kicked in 🤣
thanks for your time 😁
passed my class 2 7 weeks ago have been turned down for jobs as no experience interview today looks promising. Video was great made things a lot clearer.
Hi mate thanks for your feedback. Have you tried on agencies? You might be able to find some agency work as there are plenty jobs now
Start with agency 7.5t to get experience first then that company may take you permanent on Class 2 after 12 weeks. With good payrise. Make a good CV and make it viewable by employers
Keep trying and better yourself
Is the work for class 2 employed or self employed? And what wages can I expect (currently waiting to re-take my hazard perception test).
Class 2 employes PAYE. Depends on the are on UK I would say as an average 10£/h would be a good start but if you would be able to get more that I am more than happy for you mate.
your good to listen to, watched whole video,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Wish you all the best
What an amazing bloke!
Thanks for your feedback. Kind regards.
Great video! I’ve just done my medical and looking forward to the rest of the process for class 2. Now studying for the theory. I have the old acquired rights on my licence so I think I can choose between doing classroom or practical for my cpc. I’ll probably do the practical test.
Thanks for your feedback and I wish you good luck in your HGV Career. God bless.
I'd recommend doing the class room 35 hours if I had the choice, the cpc is tricky enough classroom lessons is the easiest option in my opinion
So if you have grandfather acquired right's you do not need to do the 35hours in classroom. Just the practical test?
I just passed my cpc a few days ago I phoned up today to find out if I had to do 35 hours and they said nope I just gotta do my mod 4 and that's it. I don't have grandfathers rights I'm only 32. So as far as I know if u do your cpc mod 2 and mod 4 that covers you for 5 years
@@danozman1695 it doesn't matter I don't have grandfather rights. I thought I had todo 35 hours of class room but I don't I passed my mod 2 a few days ago I am booked in for my test in October. As long as I do my mod 2 and mod 4 that covers me for 5 years then after the 5 years its 35 hours of class room
Cheers mate!
No worries!
During walk through checks, do you need to open the back and check how secure load is strapped.?
Load security is one of must-do check in the vehicle report defect book. It's very important to check the load, load restrains, overloading, axles, suspension, etc.
What do you recommend sat nav or use hgv app for road ? With thanks.
tomtom garmin google maps 👍👍👍
Amazing video, amazing Man, Goodluck ! :) best remix! All incluse..
I am glad that you did enjoy watching this vlog mate. Thank you so much my dear friend 🙏👍

Good video mate 😎
Thanks mate. Glad you like the video
Hi Robert just a quick comment to say I really love your video’s they have been keeping occupied for the past couple of days and your videos inspire me and keep up the good work and keep safe during these difficult times #Robertisalegand
Awesome, thank you!
a very nice video. good Man. i haver class 2 as well, but need experience in uk. is nice to see evryting about check lorry. thanks.
Thanks a lot Edwin. I really apreciate your opinion and is good to know you’ve got class 2 license as well. Where do you work now?
@@RobertMihalache i am waiting to do CPC peiodic trainig. recenltly chance EU to GB licence.
yes you need 35 hours of periodic training that means 7hours 5 days time and it will be around 80£/7hours
i need to do mine untill next year
@@RobertMihalache i wil do it this mont. which company area do you recomend me to star? lot of companys requier about experience. thanks.
good luck
have a look on indeed and on totaljobs.co.uk
I don't know what to recommend to be honest
Isn't it awkward to shift gears with a knob instead of a lever? What is the purpose of removing a lever shift ?
exactly
Good video bro very well made 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Appreciate it! Glad you like it
Hi Robert
I'm a newly qualified Hgv Class 2 driver and looking for job.
Even there is driver shortage getting a job isn't easy. Over a couple of interviews but still nothing. Better to ask a agency for help or go private?
What is your thoughts about this?
Thanks
You can better either way, depending on your needs. A decent agency can be better than a rubbish company and the other way round. Take care buddy.
you will find the drivers how speed past you at trafic lights will be a little bit further up the road with a blue light behind them.
if that has not happened then you will see them at the next set of lights behind a Que
:)
Hi there,
Love your channel it's very good. More video please.
Stay safe Best wishes.
Chris.
Thanks 👍 More to come.
Everytime when he talks at the end he says "yeah" lol
yeah 😂
Great videos it has given me more confidence in taking my Class 2 again after few failed attempts. Quick question Gloves is very important to reduce injury, who provides them to you, Agency, employer or you buy them yourself?
Good to know that my videos can make someone confident in doing something. Thanks a lot for your feedback. If you do work with the agency then you have to get it yourself from shop, but sometimes if you ask nicely for a pair of gloves you might get them from the company that you provide services to. Good gloves are above 5-10£. Not cheap.
ROBERT MIHALACHE Thanks I work for agency will try and ask employer
ask nicely and you might get it. If not buy a pair of gloves.
Enjoyed the video, it give me an insight into driving for a living. Sub’d 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Nice video man what make is that truck is that a Mercedes or a DAF?
Thanks for watching
Nice vid mate I passed my class 2 in November 2020 just waiting for lockdown to be lifted so I can do my mod 4 then I will be off the buses for good .am doing my class 1 aswell ,do you have yours
Thank you so much mate! It's just sad that they have to enter in all this lockdown again isn't it? I have booked my Class1 course for 1st of February but I guess will get canceled too unfortunately. What lorry did you drive on your Course and where was that?
I drove a daf and I trained at elite truck training in chingford you will find the class 1 easy to drive until the reversing because its opposite steering but once you get it you will never forget it
interesting vid, nice one 👍
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Kind regards.
Well done Robert
Many thanks
I'm currently doing teacher training and hating it do to being very stressful. I am thinking about quitting and getting HGV training. Is it also a stressful job? Or do you enjoy it? Thank you
Go for it!
How do you record a video and what device do you use?
with care and camera
I haven’t even got my hgv license yet, and I knew you were in a daf from that bloody bonging noise 😂
Yeah that’s the one and only DAF 😂😂😂
Do you like the job. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a hgv deriver, how is the pay. Are you on long haul or just doing multi drops? Sorry for all the questions. And good video
Yes I like the job, is not too bad.
One of the advantages is that you are out all the time and you can see a lot of places, people, businesses, machineries, technologies.
Another advantage is that in this industry is a big demand in hgv drivers so anytime would be a job there somewhere.
Another advantage is that you can relocate anytime anywhere keep doing the same profession.
Another advantage is that you are 99% your own boss.
Another advantage is that in this workplace you can listen to music, talk to your friends while on handsfree, you can have your own freedom.
Disadvantages : health issues due to stand on chair 90% of the duty time, lots of energy loss due to focus and concentration while driving, lost of sight in time, higher risks of collisions or accidents, bigger fines and penalties than other road users, being alone most of the time while your friends are spending time togheter having fun, working loads of hours as many businesses would require you to do so, hygiene issues as you would not be able to keep 100% clean during your activity at work, and the list can continue. Anyone can do this job, but this job is not made for anyone as a long term choice.
Thank you
@@RobertMihalache thanks for you reply.
Pleasure is all mine.
Absolutely love this vid its like being on the road with Gino D'acampo 😂😂 i live in stretford
Glad you like it mate :) Thanks a lot
Mate, I want to do LGV CLASS 2 NOW AND IF I WANT TO DO CLASS 1 AFTER 3 TO 5 YEARS THEN I HAVE TO DO ALL THEORY AND HAZARD AGAIN?
No
Searched "HGV POV" Yours was the 1st video.
Thank you
Well Robert haven't spoke for some weeks just an update I finally got in with 2 agencies so hopefully work soon.
They don't tell you that getting work is very difficult after passing everything for a first time driver
Hi Graham. I am glad that you found work well done. Well it takes some time to find something, even with agencies.
@@RobertMihalache thanks Rob my first job to Ely Cambridgeshire so hope it goes well and hope to see you on the road for that cup of tea
Sounds great mate. Keep in touch. Take care mate and good luck
Instead of leaving your pen there always have one in your vest you can’t supply all the pens for everyone and people never leave nothing behind they take everything.
Thank you so much Lady Fatima for your honest thoughts and yes of course I will do it next time as you told me. ❤️😘
17:56 it’s your truck bro if you want more straps put more straps it’s how ever you feel comfortable carry on trucking bro !!!!
thanks mate you are right 👍
Good job lad don't mind the haters nothing better to be doing and jealous . Happy days Ireland 🇨🇮🍀🇨🇮👍

Can i ask a question, when you have your truck, do you get your own or does your company supply one for you to use for work unless you work for yourself
agency driver
@@RobertMihalache ayy fairs mate

Thank you very much you are more than welcome. Yes that's true the ads are annoying haha. I am glad that you did find it interesting and if someone can learn something good from the video than I am more than happy. I play sometimes euro truck simulator which is a nice game.

Sat navs most of the time take you to the wrong place. The security guard seemed abit rude. Some places are a nightmare, they just tell you to reverse our which isn't safe.
