I was born in 1956 in Epsom Surrey and spent the first Ten Years of My Life in Ashtead Village. Then a few days after My 11th Birthday, My Parents dragged Me kicking and screaming to a Hell Hole on the other side of the world (an old Railway Town known as Peterborough, South Australia). When you arrive in a dust bowl onboard a train right out of a cowboy film you know civilisation is a long way behind you. Watching your videos and hearing Place Names from My childhood is a tangible connection to the land of My Birth. Just for context, most of My old Primary School’s Playground is now buried beneath (figuratively) the M25 circular car park.
Ahh Erith. I used to visit a site at that industrial estate fairly regularly a few years ago. It's so sad to see that the fly tipping is still as bad as it was back in 2020... Really grim estate, I couldn't imagine having to work there everyday.
The highways agency used to print the truckers guides at one time. Most of the truckstops have disappeared now, like truckworld at Thurrock and the monkey jump at Dorchester and the Red Lion just outside Bedford (closed by the police when drivers stopped using it because the copers kept pulling them over first thing in the morning and breathalysing them). As far as I'm aware Erith is pronounced Erith low e. And Deal has always been in Kent. I remember because I nearly blocked the town off once when the MAN artic brick carrier I was driving decided to keep dumping the air causing the brakes to stick on. Caused by the garage forgetting to change the filter on the compressor during service. Always pull down on the bearers with wood and always try to keep the bearers in line. Best of luck.
Keep up the great videos mate. Really interesting to see the view of the driver in those situations. I really want my licence and I think I would love doing that job.
Hi luke, loving the videos it was watching your videos that made me wanna be a class 1 driver and I've been doing it now just over 2 years and loving it. Keep videos coming bud.
Great video! Really interesting to see what you get up to and the condiderations you have to make. 38:50 you drove past my old home! I used to live in Deal!
Definitely the right way in at Deal in years gone by, used to regularly deliver to Builder Center there, now Jewsons. From the Builder Center Feeder Depot at Henfield, near Shoreham funnily enough.
Always very annoying loading in the rain especially torrential rain when it is really cold. Underestimate to say that they have a fly tipping problem on that industrial estate. Thanks for a great video. Stay safe and take care.
Fly tipping is an epidemic currently in the uk, and the parasites who do this get nothing but a slap on the wrist. It’s time they spent some good time in jail, after they’ve been forced to clear up their mess. Great vlog Luke, sorry for the rant, but…….
The only problem is trying to see who fly tipped, especially in remote and quiet areas and areas without CCTV. I see why fly tipping almost never occurs on busy roads or motorways.
That road you drove in on. I've been down a few times to that industrial estate... there's always been flytipping down there as far as I've known. Terrible road to drive down in the dark
Thank you Luke Great video Enjoyed fly tipping How bad is that. Very happy it’s not on my door step Thanks again. Take care and Stay safe and safe Trucking.
Nice one Luke. That’s a great looking truck, does the boss intend to have it sign written eventually? I always look out for Harry,s trucks. Hate to think I missed you if you’re in my area
Should have asked Scott Andrews he’s delivered fence posts to Dartford / Erith a couple of years back, and the rubbish on the way in was even worse then.
That security man is a liar! I saw this mess on another truckers video months ago! It looks like its been there for years not month's!. By the way love you're video's.
Yea, a bit different again Luke. How can you possibly know the exact routes into all the sites you go to, things keep changing nowadays. very interesting vlog thanks.
“Used to” being the word there mate. I was with my dad in his truck 25+ years ago when he used a map also. I know how it works. But just because someone doesn’t use them now doesn’t mean they can’t do it. Why would anyone use a map. They’re outdated, roads are always changing, including heights on bridges, they don’t give you traffic information, they don’t give you moving speed camera locations (not that you need to know this but still) Times move on mate. I’d happy to a challenge video where we’re given a place and an address. You only use a map, I use technology. Let’s see who gets there first. Maps like Collins maps were used back in the day I know. But not today. Outdated, old fashioned and quite frankly useless information unless you purchase up to date maps which Incase is also costly.
@@lukecinahgv i could not agree more with you, obviously technology is always the way forward, i was just making a comment on the old school drivers who got paid penny's and was treat like something you would scrape of your shoe.
Never had any bother parking on double yellow lines overnight, not always easy to find anywhere to park these days, The UK needs to look after its truckers and provide better free parking facilities, people seem to hate lorries, but where would we all be without them. Thanks for the video.
Were you in Sandbach Services North around half 10 this morning? I'm pretty sure it was you I seen you walk into the shop and I was rattling my brain thinking where do I know that guy from then after like 10 mins it came to me but you'd long gone by then! I was the White Scania truck waiting to go on the pumps.
The other day when the A419 was closed by Swindon Where I had to deliver (Go Outdoors) is on the closed slip road So I moved the sign and put it back behind me Some moronic car driver followed after only to be hurtled after by PC Plod 🤪
Hey man. Great videos you’ve been doing, I only came across you yesterday. Can I what you use for recoding ? So you have your view in and cam on u at the same time. Thanks
Dumping. Fly Tipping. Maybe it is a result of Councils charging extreme amounts of money to take your rubbish to the recycling centres. Some centres you have to book an appointment. People therefore do it carelessly to avoid the hassle & bureaucracy.
That rubbish was in either Scott's or trucker jay at maxi video from ages ago and was alot worse so nothing to do with a fire it's fly tipping at its worst,you wouldn't want to deliver to that estate often would you it's a shithole,when they put road closed signs up it should say how far up it is,I would personally say its better to have to many straps than not enough,🙂👍
Not a silly question. I carry a tub of water with me and soap. As well as towels. you can freshen up outside. Alternatively, you can use things like wet, wipes and deodorant. it’s not the cleanest, but it does the job. a little bit like wild camping. Of course, there are showers in service stations so you can if you want to stop en route and have a shower before parking up
Doesn't matter in a hgv if you pass in an auto you can still drive a manual truck but you do need to have a manual car licence in order to do your hgv licence.
@@stichupman You can take your LGV test with an automatic transmission-only car licence. However, if you take your LGV test in an automatic truck, your LGV categories will be restricted to automatic only. You can remove all the automatic only restrictions on your licence by taking any test in a manual - you can retake your car test or you can add a new truck or bus category in a manual.
that estate looks just the kind place a lot illegal stuff ie cut & shut jobs would get done bet gets raided every month owasnt many modern trucks around old man xfs seemed vechicle of choice
I’m surprised I get asked this a lot. The timber is treated and is stored outside at the docks. It’s also stored outside at all the delivery places. I would I tarp it? 😂
that damn fly tipping though 🤮😩councils need to do more with out tax funds damn profiteering while green spaces get like this with no signs of clean up
That fly tipping worst I ever seen here absolutely disgusting people who hiring these people really need start checking licenses it’s your responsibility to even tho you paying them
I noticed some twists in your straps Luke.. is that permitted over there? Because in Australia it isnt! If the Transport Dept. pulls you over down here its a fine... then the bastards start looking for something else !
I believe no one has ever been fined over here for a twist in the strap mate no. I believe I’ve seen a video somewhere proving it doesn’t effect he lashing ability also.

I always tell fresh drivers to spend 10 mins driving the route via street view. So helpful
Ahh Erith.
I used to visit a site at that industrial estate fairly regularly a few years ago. It's so sad to see that the fly tipping is still as bad as it was back in 2020... Really grim estate, I couldn't imagine having to work there everyday.
Just carried on watching the video and all that fly tipping has 100% been there for years! That guy is talking rubbish, if you pardon the pun...
The highways agency used to print the truckers guides at one time. Most of the truckstops have disappeared now, like truckworld at Thurrock and the monkey jump at Dorchester and the Red Lion just outside Bedford (closed by the police when drivers stopped using it because the copers kept pulling them over first thing in the morning and breathalysing them).

Hi Luke
Your description of Erith was spot on , it’s the same around some of the estates in Purfleet
Another good video as usual
27:17 it's weird seeing places I've tipped and driven on TV.
I dod the recycling place next door once and the whole area was a shit hole then as well.
The second time I've seen that flytipping in Dartford after @thescaniapilot's video earlier this week. Nice to see you in Kent, Luke.
Hi luke, loving the videos it was watching your videos that made me wanna be a class 1 driver and I've been doing it now just over 2 years and loving it. Keep videos coming bud.

@Luke - ITV1 tonight program showing the Fly Tipping in Erith you witnessed and how they're dealing with it. About time!
Always very annoying loading in the rain especially torrential rain when it is really cold. Underestimate to say that they have a fly tipping problem on that industrial estate. Thanks for a great video. Stay safe and take care.
Great video again luke keep trucking and stay safe mate
GREAT WORK BUD 👍👍GREAT JOB STRAPPING LOAD 👍👍STAY SAFE 👍👍KEEP VIDEOS COMING 😀😀

Nice to see you around my neck of the woods. Don't park overnight down towards the marshes ! Something or body would have disturbed your night.
That road you drove in on. I've been down a few times to that industrial estate... there's always been flytipping down there as far as I've known. Terrible road to drive down in the dark
Lol I thought you were gonna reverse all the way back then 🤣 nice 1 Luke 👏💪💯
Nice back in a busy tight area!!! Looked tight getting out as well. You are awesome.
Hi Luke love the videos. You remind me a lot of Ricky Gervais . Same accent, at least to my ear any way .
Drive safe
Thank you Luke Great video Enjoyed fly tipping How bad is that. Very happy it’s not on my door step Thanks again. Take care and Stay safe and safe Trucking.
Yea, Deal is in Kent and love it there....
Nice one Luke. That’s a great looking truck, does the boss intend to have it sign written eventually? I always look out for Harry,s trucks. Hate to think I missed you if you’re in my area
Deal is in Kent
Should have asked Scott Andrews he’s delivered fence posts to Dartford / Erith a couple of years back, and the rubbish on the way in was even worse then.
That explains why it feels like I've seen that road before on RUclips
You were in Wisbech!? So close to me! Wish I had known!!
Yeah, I often get loaded out of ellpro. If I ever stay the night, I’ll give you a call mate ;)
Used to load there all the time not a bad load up
Never heard someone emphasise the E in erith 😅
That ‘eurghhh’ climbing up the embankment, I felt that
Oh look you’ve Commented here too Davido 😂 proper fan aren’t you !
Nice one Luke, thanks 👍👍
My company pick up paper bales from pulp friction on that estate it's an absolute dive horrible place not fit for artics at all.
That security man is a liar! I saw this mess on another truckers video months ago!
It looks like its been there for years not month's!.
By the way love you're video's.
A very good Monday evening luke from Alan in Lowestoft buddy
Deal is definitely East Kent, I lived in that area for 35 years, latterly in Ramsgate. 😂👍
I remember this road from one of your last videos it was full with fly tipping stuff and there was a huge queue to get in the place
think it was a Trucker Jay video
@@shanestewart27693 was it I did think it was someone else I will recognised that messy road anywhere
Yea, a bit different again Luke. How can you possibly know the exact routes into all the sites you go to, things keep changing nowadays.
very interesting vlog thanks.
That road into the industrial estate has been like that for many years and nothing ever gets done about it
Great video as always luke. Is there any chance of shoeing us the like of filling in paperwork? Not all the time but every so often?
He's not going to show you his personal records is he plus any confidential information lol
love to see the new guys with just a collins map. 😂😂
They sort of comment does make me laugh, because you can’t read a map? Not exactly hard.
@@lukecinahgv you try it without google. plan your journey with just a map like i use to, dare you😊😊

Hi luke where you saw all the fly tipping I'm fairly sure except for access has been down it and done a video. Fairly sure he had the same response
Thank you 👍👍
A very good Sunday evening to you all
Were you in Sandbach Services North around half 10 this morning? I'm pretty sure it was you I seen you walk into the shop and I was rattling my brain thinking where do I know that guy from then after like 10 mins it came to me but you'd long gone by then! I was the White Scania truck waiting to go on the pumps.
Can i ask where you bought your orange high viz jacket please mate
I reckon the first ever vid of yours I watched you parked on that road.
The only rats to be worried about are the 2 legged ones called humans who are dumping that shit!. That road is disgusting!.
Which area did you park for the night in
Parked overnight on double yellows?
Yes
@BigWheelZak been down here in one of his vlogs , fly tipping is crazy down there they need cameras set up
Road closures are a bummer.
As a local i will call it "wizz beach" or "wiz beck e stan" 😛🤪😷
The other day when the A419 was closed by Swindon
Where I had to deliver (Go Outdoors) is on the closed slip road
So I moved the sign and put it back behind me
Some moronic car driver followed after only to be hurtled after by PC Plod 🤪
Hey man. Great videos you’ve been doing, I only came across you yesterday.
Can I what you use for recoding ? So you have your view in and cam on u at the same time. Thanks
2x GoPro hero 10’s hooked up to a rode wireless go 2 🤙🏻 a good £1000 worth of kit
I was shouting at the screen Deal is near Dover
35:58 my son wouldn't be happy neither. He hates rubbish in the streets, including fly-tipped rubbish
Dumping. Fly Tipping. Maybe it is a result of Councils charging extreme amounts of money to take your rubbish to the recycling centres. Some centres you have to book an appointment. People therefore do it carelessly to avoid the hassle & bureaucracy.
Nah it’s erith it’s a shithole 🤣
Another great video.
I know that bit u past of flytipping went up in flames during the 40 degrees heatwave we had
Do you get paid extra for a night away from home?
Yes
That rubbish was in either Scott's or trucker jay at maxi video from ages ago and was alot worse so nothing to do with a fire it's fly tipping at its worst,you wouldn't want to deliver to that estate often would you it's a shithole,when they put road closed signs up it should say how far up it is,I would personally say its better to have to many straps than not enough,🙂👍
It was Trucker Jay and he had an argument with a transit pick up driver!😮
Your vlogs help me sleep lol
My wife watches them and fall asleep to them aswell 😂
Yep, listening now to help fall sleep… Luke’s soothing voice better than white noise 😂
Blooming Nora that Erith place is a mess
Luke was you in B And Q in Sutton Surrey Thursday
What advice would you give to someone looking to get into this type of driving. It's quite intimidating even if you think you might enjoy it
Just go for it, very much more intimidating than it seems, im 24, been driving Class 2 for a year now and i love it.
@@RisenCS thanks dude you've told me everything I need to know
Tip century! God, that's gonna cost a ton to clear!
good old dartford heath , land of the doggers
Sounds like You know it well. 👀🤪
What sat nav app are u using?
Hi Luke , I’m Alan Aubignac , I like watching your channel, where do you find things to talk about.
when you are parked up for the night how do you wash?
Not a silly question. I carry a tub of water with me and soap. As well as towels. you can freshen up outside. Alternatively, you can use things like wet, wipes and deodorant. it’s not the cleanest, but it does the job. a little bit like wild camping.

Massive gypsie site around there where that rubbish is dumped so definitely don't overnight there.
That fly tipping in Eh-riff is disgusting
You can see it on Google maps!
question Luke...!! did you past your test in a automatic?? or a shift?
Doesn't matter in a hgv if you pass in an auto you can still drive a manual truck but you do need to have a manual car licence in order to do your hgv licence.

I’m surprised I get asked this a lot. The timber is treated and is stored outside at the docks. It’s also stored outside at all the delivery places. I would I tarp it? 😂
@@lukecinahgv Yes I noticed it is treated garden wood later on. Makes sense 👍
I was born in Kent.. Sidcup
Great video keep safe 👍
you made earith to deal in 1 second no road footage
I think the music at the start of your videos is too much. It blasts music into your ears which isn't something I like. I always skip past it
It looks like you've parked on double yellow lines for your overnight stay.
Yes I did.
So what!!, get on with your life ffs.
That just might be the dodgiest Ind estate in England
If Russel Grant was a lorry driver. Plump and camp.
Why not walk between the trailer and can sir !!!
that damn fly tipping though 🤮😩councils need to do more with out tax funds damn profiteering while green spaces get like this with no signs of clean up
No you can't as a lot of fuel theft there as I am from the area
Never hear or see anything from Scott
That fly tipping worst I ever seen here absolutely disgusting people who hiring these people really need start checking licenses it’s your responsibility to even tho you paying them
🚛👍
sorry stick
Erith is a horrible place to get in and out of, not even watched it yet and I know your gonna have a nightmare. Just praying you use the a206.
Jemma and Becky are the new stars in RUclips lorry drivers .
Luke’s game is off point now
Then don’t watch. I’m not fussed either way. 🤙🏻
@@lukecinahgv I don’t
Good. Means we’re both happy. Enjoy your Christmas 👋🏻
Dont know about any body else, I've just come across your videos really enjoy them. Subbed.
Then why are you commenting on one of his videos? Jog on, Kleefe.
Wasn’t aware you had any disability? Double yellows.
Yea
MY FIRST FIRST! HUZZAH!! XD
It is like that all the time in Erith
I noticed some twists in your straps Luke.. is that permitted over there? Because in Australia it isnt! If the Transport Dept. pulls you over down here its a fine... then the bastards start looking for something else !
I believe no one has ever been fined over here for a twist in the strap mate no.
