For nearly twenty years, I drove into and around London. After watching your video, I remembered how stressful it was. Well done for not allowing the stress to affect your driving. I love watching and hearing about your journeys.
Thank you Derek 😀 Twenty years in London? 😳 Wow... I must say I enjoy it so far but not when the traffic is like it was on that day. That was horrible. I'm glad you enjoy the vlogs so far 😊 Thanks for watching
We don't have any as far as I know and to be honest it was first time we would've needed one. I think after this they will probably get some but who knows 🤷 Thanks for watching Roy 😀
Wow. What an exciting action packed video..hats off to your colleague who got stuck for 4 hours...at least he didn't damage anything..its all down to the council on that one to replace everything at there cost 🙂🙂. And as for you floz....where do I start 😉 😀...just 1 major road closure in London and that's it...its a stalemate...no ones fault 🤷♂️. But at least you kept the customer upto date..Nice to see H E paynes yard. Which is now WS . I've always liked the fleet of H E payne. Just off the A1 if I'm correct....keep doing what you do best floz...thats keeping your viewers entertained...you make us smile always....take care my friend...hope family is well.
Thank you Jason 😀 Yes the Paynes yard is just of A1 and they are part of WS for some time now. We use it like a hub between Barnsley and London. By the way that second trailer I got for next day... I went to deliver it at 8am and waited for 5h (didn't even take my chains off) in that unloading bay until they've decided they can't lift the load due to high winds 😳 so off I went back to Barnsley with it. Easiest job ever 😂😂
Back in the day they used to take massive transformers through the middle of stafford, police cars and helicopter escorted, a huge operation. They got halfway down the weston road and found since last time the council had build a new central reservation with barriers. Cue lots of swearing and several hours of angle grinders.
I have a, steering axles on fridge trailer and it's spot on. In past i drove with 6 axle low loader, they completely messed up with choice of trailer. Good video, fair play to disabled driver
getting relapsed ptsd from watching these central London deliveries after years of coming down from the North to do the Hospitals. the stress builds up over time.
Thanks Shawn 😀 Yes it is stressful. Don't know how people do it for so many years but then again Whales it's stressful as well sometimes. Most roads where we deliver are incredibly narrow but at least the traffic it's not as bad as London 😂
Ive been away busy with life too, so am now binge watching your vlogs to catch up. Fantastic as usual. And great to see, your videos are starting to get the views they deserve. Based on quality, they should be up there with the top viewed and rated trucking vlogs!
Thank you Sameen 😀 We're getting there slowly but surely 😉 It takes time but I am so glad that people enjoy the vlogs. That keeps me going, otherwise I would have quit vlogging long time ago Thanks for watching 😀
The public really love you when you are delivering the things they need to the stores, like food and big screen TV's etc. But by christ, hold them up for 15 seconds when you are struggling to manoeuvre an artic in a tight space; and you are the worlds's worst bastard imaginable! The best ones are the 'macho' men who, despite never even having seen the inside of a cab, are quick to tell you how easily they could do it if 'they' were driving! I have had occasion to call one or two of these types out, myself during my illustrious and somewhat chequered career! Funny how they tend to piss off really quickly when you climb out of the cab and offer the truck keys to them! Anyway, the lad got it sorted ... good for him 👍. Once again, nice interesting video Floz. Keep em' coming. Stay safe and have a good un'. All the best mate!
Thanks mate 😀 Yes, most people don't realise how difficult this job can be sometimes. They're so quick to judge and start a fight rather than help Thanks for watching again pal. Stay safe
I know just how you feel Florin. Spent six years driving H.G.V. In London. That was a few years ago, it was bad enough then. Watching you brought back memories with that same feeling of frustration. Brilliant video. I’m with you all the way. Stay safe. Mick.
Hi floz,so good on the driver to let you post this on you're channel but it just proves anything can happen to anyone doesn't it but gotta say he handled it all professionally and had it have been me any of the public giving me grief I'd have been telling them to bugger off and mind their own business 😂great video and hope you are well🙂👍
I think an angle grinder would have been the best option. I admire your driving skills and also your english language not being a UK native, excellent.
I remember hearing about the Tower Bridge in London being stuck in the news. I believe 1 bridge is permantely shut, needing structural repairs! Anyways enjoyed the stress drama. 1st time viewer, have subbed, have valium to hand, & ready for the next vlog! LOL!
Thanks Paul 😀 I'm trying but my wife will divorce me if I spend too much time on my laptop in the 2 days I'm off 😂😂 And I miss my kids a lot so yeah sometimes I spend more time with themnover the weekends
Some old colostamy bag crinckle person giving abuse just becouse they needed flour and milk .They have all week to go out .And years ago i took out 4 balconys in italy but no one was sunbathing i hit 1 then another 3 on my right side wiped them out with my fridge .
Always have a laugh when I see a movement order sending us through a stupid location. The hours I've lost on the phone to the police and council to change it. Few times they haven't and we've gone until we're stuck and call them to come and sort it out. Used to love it.
Super well done to the other KMS driver for showing patience like no other i would have gone full on John Rambo with those abusing me Florin superb vlog buddy
Thank you Willie 😀 I am always happy to get out of London, especially after a stressful day. Driving in London is very challenging but we have to do it. It's kind of similar to my home town Bucharest... cars and people everywhere 😂😂 That's why probably I'm kind of used to the traffic, only difference is that in Bucharest there's a lot of Police presence...
Thanks pal 😀 I have no choice sometimes but to park in lay-by but even services are not safe. This time I've parked in the yard so no problems there and usually don't refill before stopping for the night. Take care pal and thanks for watching 😀
A common idea that vehicles go out the same way as they come in. They don't, it's more noticeable with trucks but even cars actually don't. Imagine the shit an American sized truck would have in this country. Our trucks are the size they are for a reason! Another example of why non truckers shouldn't try to plan routes for trucks.
Well, clock is ticking, so unless you use POA, you will run out of time. If you do, it's not a big deal as it was with a good reason. Print and write on the back why you went over. Hope that helps Thanks for watching 😀
Is Mallison part of W S now as they seem to do the same work and also both operate crap Scanias which they seem to be replaced after a year or two ?? ie shit work / motors lol
What do you mean "crap Scanias"? 😂😂 So far I don't know of a better one than Scania. And yes, every truck is replaced after 2 years with a brand new one... so not bad at all. 🤷♂️
DVSA would have gone ripped you apart about them aluminium bars why would ANY chance there class one licence that’s how much a firm care or you didn’t say anything 👍
Mate DVSA would have ripped me if I didn't have any. Anything is better than nothing, and it's not like they're faulty or anything. They are trailer pins (or poles) and they did the job they are designed to do
Hi floz soz mate behide wiv ur vids,think I'm 1 behide.Ya Council cudnt plan a p**s up let alone a abnormal load route they useless, good content thou 👌 hope family and dog all ok mate, till next one take care 🙂

Why does your company no use rear steer trailers for these sorts of jobs.
We don't have any as far as I know and to be honest it was first time we would've needed one. I think after this they will probably get some but who knows 🤷
Thanks for watching Roy 😀

@TruckerFloz well there you go...take the rough with the smooth...you get good days...you get bad days..stay safe out there floz..👍👍
Too much unnecessary street furniture in UK towns and cities if all that crap like bollards and planters were there wouldn’t have caused an issue
Back in the day they used to take massive transformers through the middle of stafford, police cars and helicopter escorted, a huge operation. They got halfway down the weston road and found since last time the council had build a new central reservation with barriers. Cue lots of swearing and several hours of angle grinders.
Oh God... see how easily things can go wrong? Yet people always jump at the driver's neck 🙄
Thanks for watching pal 😀
I have a, steering axles on fridge trailer and it's spot on.
In past i drove with 6 axle low loader, they completely messed up with choice of trailer.
Good video, fair play to disabled driver
Thanks pal 😀 Yes the steering axle would have made it much easier
Great vlog buddy as always I liked the key wedge idea very funny 😂 keep up your great videos my friend and stay safe 👍
Thanks pal 😁 Only thing with the key wedge... I couldn't get ot out in time, and it stinks of diesel 😂😂

Thanks mate 😀 Yes, most people don't realise how difficult this job can be sometimes. They're so quick to judge and start a fight rather than help
Thanks for watching again pal. Stay safe
I assume that they did not take account of the extended trailer length thinking it was normal length.
Don't know exactly how but if it was a normal length they wouldn't have needed a movement order.
Thanks for watching John 😀
Fantastic video, really enjoyed your voice over and explanations!
Thank you 😀 😊
I enjoy your videos. Please keep up the great content, it makes us American drivers appreciate our wide roads.
Thank you Robert 😊
Keep calm, and Floz on, that's what you need on your T-shirt 😂😂😂
Joe you always crack me up 😂😂😂 That's a good ideea actually 😁
Very good video the best, Many thanks from Dave in North Thailand,
Thanks Dave 😀 Glad you enjoyed it.
Good morning from Norway, nice to see you back.🚚
Hi Tony 😁 Thanks for watching again 😊

Thank you Cliff 😊
Top video mate
Thank you Paul 😀

Oh thanks Mick 😊 It is stressful even though I don't always show it on camera but sometimes behind the scenes it's a lot different 😅 😂
Take care 🙂

Thank you Mark 😀 and hope you liked the LIVE too 😊
I think an angle grinder would have been the best option. I admire your driving skills and also your english language not being a UK native, excellent.
Thank you 😀 Yeah I was thinking the same... why they haven't cut them? It would have been faster but I guess they will put them back in few days 🙄
That was a great video well done
Thanks William 😀
I remember hearing about the Tower Bridge in London being stuck in the news. I believe 1 bridge is permantely shut, needing structural repairs! Anyways enjoyed the stress drama. 1st time viewer, have subbed, have valium to hand, & ready for the next vlog! LOL!
😂😂 Cheers pal. Already filmed today. Be ready for Sunday 😁 Hope you'll enjoy it.
I could feel the stress coming out from the screen. Poor flozzy 😅😅
🤠😁😁
Always a great vlog, Floz we need more.
Thanks Paul 😀 I'm trying but my wife will divorce me if I spend too much time on my laptop in the 2 days I'm off 😂😂 And I miss my kids a lot so yeah sometimes I spend more time with themnover the weekends
Just by the title of this video....this is going to be epic 🙂👍...Will watch later 😀
Some old colostamy bag crinckle person giving abuse just becouse they needed flour and milk .They have all week to go out .And years ago i took out 4 balconys in italy but no one was sunbathing i hit 1 then another 3 on my right side wiped them out with my fridge .
Nice one as usual Floz bloody nightmare London really is never gets better least you stay calm on outside lol 😂
Thank you Jason 😀 I stay calm until I lose it 😂😂 Don't know how I do it
Great video Floz
Thank you Ian 😀
Always have a laugh when I see a movement order sending us through a stupid location. The hours I've lost on the phone to the police and council to change it. Few times they haven't and we've gone until we're stuck and call them to come and sort it out. Used to love it.
Super well done to the other KMS driver for showing patience like no other i would have gone full on John Rambo with those abusing me Florin superb vlog buddy
Thank you Wayne 😀 Yeap. I don't know how I would have dealt with those people. I would have lost my s**t 😂
Definitely Florin
Great vlog don’t know how you have the patience driving in London must be a nightmare bet you were glad when you got to your destination
Thank you Willie 😀 I am always happy to get out of London, especially after a stressful day. Driving in London is very challenging but we have to do it.

i spent all today watching your vlogs i enjoyed watching them brother i like your style and you are my sort of friend brother
Oh thanks Mark 😊 Appreciate it
used to be able to get an extended ariel for TOMTOM that cured the central London high building problem
Not with these new ones... not possible. I sometimes have my phone on Google Maps when I'm between them tall buildings, and that has a better signal
You're chancing it mate, parking up with a full tank of diesel. Lots of fuel thieves out there. Safe travels drive.
Thanks pal 😀 I have no choice sometimes but to park in lay-by but even services are not safe. This time I've parked in the yard so no problems there and usually don't refill before stopping for the night. Take care pal and thanks for watching 😀

great vid floz god knows why you havnt got thousands more subs stay safe bud
Thank you 😀 Getting there slowly but surely 😊
Why did you not wind the straps around each of the posts? Would have made each post much more secure.
Thanks for the question pal 🤠 Don't need to. We use dog clips on the bottom of each trailer post. Very secure 👍
Driver did well, great video
Thanks pal 😀
Don’t Go Through The Clean Air Zones U Lez
Not always possible especially now... ULEZ is the biggest scam and it's everywhere 😒
loving your vlogs and great channel you got my friend
Thank you Mark 😀
@@TruckerFloz i come across your channel yesterday and i been wastching your vlogs last night and most of today as today my rest day
Thank you again Mark 😀 I am really happy you enjoy the vlogs. It's still a small channel but growing little by little 😊
@@TruckerFloz keep up the good work
Escort driver should have a done a run in the town to check if the load would make it.
*grabs popcorn* This is gonna be good! haha
😁😁
where have u been for so long
😁😁 I've been busy Dave. House needs some TLC and also spent some extra time with the kids... 😊
new driver what happens with driver hours in a situation like that?
Well, clock is ticking, so unless you use POA, you will run out of time. If you do, it's not a big deal as it was with a good reason. Print and write on the back why you went over.
Hope that helps
Thanks for watching 😀
Nice one Floz 2 for l😅😊😅
😁😁 Thanks Brian 👍 😊
Is Mallison part of W S now as they seem to do the same work and also both operate crap Scanias which they seem to be replaced after a year or two ?? ie shit work / motors lol
What do you mean "crap Scanias"? 😂😂 So far I don't know of a better one than Scania. And yes, every truck is replaced after 2 years with a brand new one... so not bad at all. 🤷♂️
@@TruckerFloz Lucky if they last 2 years from what i see of them ?
brilliant
Thank you Gary 😀
These are my favourite by far, and trucker lena rocks and Ned kelly .
Oh dear floz that not good
😊😊
The wrong trailer for the job should have been all steering axles
DVSA would have gone ripped you apart about them aluminium bars why would ANY chance there class one licence that’s how much a firm care or you didn’t say anything 👍
Mate DVSA would have ripped me if I didn't have any. Anything is better than nothing, and it's not like they're faulty or anything. They are trailer pins (or poles) and they did the job they are designed to do
You really need rear steering axles for a load of that size
Yes I guess it would have made it easier. Maybe they will get some after this, who knows 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching Alan 😀
Nope rear steer wouldn't have help, it was too tight for the length, driver did well, not his fault
Surely bad practice to use incorrect gear on your truck
Hi floz soz mate behide wiv ur vids,think I'm 1 behide.Ya Council cudnt plan a p**s up let alone a abnormal load route they useless, good content thou 👌 hope family and dog all ok mate, till next one take care 🙂
Thanks Matt 😀 We're all good thanks. Hope you're good too. Take care pal 👍
lots of drivers like escorts .
