Think most drivers dont care or understand what a escort vehicle is there for and as for beacons anyone and every one has them on so the purpose of them is just like part of the roads now and not doing as they intended,when doin heavy recovery no one cared about the beacons being on and usualy made mess when you needed space keep up the graft and good to see ur dads motor getting restored 👍
Farmers have beacons on because the slow moving vehicles and usualy they same width if not wider than the road, its more bin lorrys and transit recoverys vans who are like look at me in a huge van 🤣
That was great to see 3 monster running together with heavy loads, and the Professionalism of all involved, people need to remember the roads are your office
The new truck has opened up all sorts of work for you. The only place you can go is up now. The next step can only be getting an 8 wheel tractor unit for extreme loads. Well done, Sandy
Hi Sandy. I came along yesterday on the Mallaig road, and came on one of Gerry Jobs low loaders with a massive TigerCat at Callop bridge. The lorry driver and the attendant wood tinks soon whipped it off, tracked it under the bridge on old tyres, reloaded it and were down and gone in half an hour. Not trying to do you down at all, but these are hardy hoors.
Fantastic video what an experience Sandy That trailer reverse into the garage, wow n ya see so many struggling to park a Fiat 500 in a supermarket car park lol Hats off to you guy's Take car Geoff
I love stuff like this I’m not a truck driver if I see a truck and escort vehicle I’m constantly thinking how I can help the driver and escort by keeping out of their way hanging back at junctions. Etc. to allow them to do what they safely and as planned even if it puts time on my own journey.
I always enjoy oversized loads. Keeps life exciting. In canada I rarely need escorts only seems to be in usa that they require them they get itchy when you start to get over 12ft wide
Another good one. Why didn't one of your escorts shut down the round-a-bout.. That 180 toner looks like some of the ones they run out in the western mines on the quads. I never liked doing escort work, to many cars about that don't know what they're doing. They don't seem to be able to put it together that the escort vehicles are actually escorting something.. There was a fatality here a few years ago. 3 mobile conveyers, 5m wide by 30m long ( they have 3 axle bogies built into them, and a pin at the front ) They run 3 escorts out the front and 2 at the rear. Car coming the other way ran into one of the escort vehicles.
Mate it’s mental that people are not educated about escort vehicles. And technically by law we can’t do that because it is regarded as dangerous driving restricting the flow of traffic.
@@Sandy-Flat-Out-Flat-Broke Our apprentice did his car driving test a few months back. Every thing was city bases driving, there wasn't anything about driving in the country, or interacting with trucks.
Those Volvo`s looking good. Im not in the business so I assume those steering trailers can be set to follow the trucks steering inputs, or be manually controlled?
SUPERB JOB AND VIDEO AS ALWAYS DESPITE THE DAILY DICKHEADS, DIDNT RECOGNISE THE TRUCKSTOP YOU STOPPED AT JCT 26 BUT IM LOCAL SO WONT TAKE ME LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT LOL 💯🤟🙏
I presume the escort vehicles don't fully have the power to stop the traffic but can ask the traffic to stop and most people will stop. At the roundabouts in events I've done in italy they usually have guys on the motorbikes to go up past the peleton and they then block the roundabout so no traffic can end up in the race convoy. Do you ever do something like that to avoid the idiots on the roundabout stealing your safe zone.
Them dozers look very reliable
The journey you have come on is amazing, well done, sandy.
Its nice to see a person so excited in there work keep the hard work going

Farmers piss me off driving round with beacons on and generally not even a trailer on

Sandy you separate the men from the boys you are the big league
Thanks mate
Go on yersel Big Fella.
Those Volvo`s looking good. Im not in the business so I assume those steering trailers can be set to follow the trucks steering inputs, or be manually controlled?
Yes mate
Great video
What was the total weight for that load bud
Brilliant,great story all started from a bellingo van 👏👏💪🏴
Ooooooosht!!!
Genuine question, why did you leave the blade up on the dozer? I moved my first one the other day and laid it down on the bed
With a movement order with a set route when you said you got lost if you'd been stopped would you have been fined for leaving the prescribed route
Surprised your not made to take the blades off
You can actually transport bigger
I know this guy😅
Minted work , some piece of kit they guys have 👌
What's the story wi the berlingo van were yu running delivery jobs wi or be interesting to know more about that time
Smashing it mate
SUPERB JOB AND VIDEO AS ALWAYS DESPITE THE DAILY DICKHEADS, DIDNT RECOGNISE THE TRUCKSTOP YOU STOPPED AT JCT 26 BUT IM LOCAL SO WONT TAKE ME LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT LOL 💯🤟🙏
