    Join me on a day of trucking around the West Country of the UK hauling aggregate and grain. There is a little confusion and a rush to get loaded at the end of the day….

    There was a Wains truck parked up in Salisbury the other evening. I’ve never really noticed any truck company name before. I hope they realise what a fabulous ambassador you are for them.

    Brilliant Jemma.
    I'm watching this video again and realized my comments were rubbish so I'm trying again.
    I thought it was lonely when I drove around the country a long time ago, but compared to now I realize it wasn't so bad.
    When you are driving you see people when you pick up and deliver loads, when you are in service areas, and you are surrounded by lots of people on the motorways, and it's more interesting than what I do now, and what you are doing is important.
    Thanks Jemma stay safe.

    Gemma when parked in a spot where you can get blocked in. Drop your trailer legs and draw forward a couple of foot. And in the morning couple up a d you have extra room.
    I used to do this parts of London and I could get out in the morning.

  • @bobd9640
    @bobd9640 8 месяцев назад +9

    Always thought truck driving must be stressful, and your vlogs confirm that. Strikes me that some pick up/drop off points don’t exactly make your life easy, stupid inflexible driving regs and don’t get me started on the lack of facilities on route. But to your credit you cope very well and film on top! Well done you.

    • @Simon-ho6ly
      @Simon-ho6ly 8 месяцев назад

      The problem with the regs being flexible is that when there is some leeway people than assume that leeway to be the legal cutoff.. "well its 10 hours driving but you are allowed an extra 30mins sometimes" people will take that as you can drive for 10:30... not 10 with some spare if you cant stop etc..
      With many pickups/dropoffs being so tight its often businesses have expanded or were laid out in the days before vehicles this size were the norm, its hard to totally rearrage or space might not even be available

    • @brianwebb191
      @brianwebb191 8 месяцев назад

      The Lack of facilities is self inflicked? Because the stupid drivers are controled by some Thick Twat in the office, They are driver hours NOT operator hours, How in their RIGHT mind would work a 15 hour day?? then have a 9 hour break ffs the 15 / 30 / 45 minute in minimum requirment lol some think maximum for some reason again Thick Drivers, ( Why should Cafes be open for someone to park up at Night, when knowone dare stop for something to eat in the daytime.) THATS why most have closed , Caused by Again Spinless Drivers, And just to confirm i have been operating Commercial Vehicles since 1972, If you want to spot for TEA stop for F-----g TEA end off.
      I was told many years ago if anything has to Spot let it be Work, its worked ok for me thats for sure.

    You were in a great mood, it's obvious spring has a good effect on you. This was a very easy and smooth day, everything went well. You could even take a refreshing shower at the end of your shift. As always the scenery is awesome everywhere. The spring colors are beautiful. Usually you can't film the loading process in quarries, but this particular one was an exception. It was interesting to see how everything works inside. Fantastic vlog again Jemma. Your videos always bring sunshine into my Saturdays.

    Love that mental health snippet, a friend of mine works for a haulage company in the office as hr/admin and we’ve discussed the lack of support for drivers mental health before, it is disgustingly poor. Hopefully things change the more people push to break stigma around mental health issues and push for companies to actually take an active role in offering professional support to drivers too. Top work Jemma 👌🏻

    My wife died last September and I do about a 100 mile trip to my youngest son and back every couple of weeks. I do find that on these journeys I have time to think about things and it can be a very somber thoughtful time, mainly at present of the ‘what if’ variety, especially on the way back very late at night. At least most other days I am around people lots and the thoughts recede for awhile.

Also, your recent habit of showing a map with your route drawn on is great for those of us who don’t recognize all the place names.Thank you for doing that. Good luck with the home remodeling project; my wife and I and our marriage have survived a few of those 😅 I think I heard you say in a video that you once worked for a circus. Were you a driver or performer? Those high kicks came from somewhere...😮 Best wishes, and thank you for all the insight to your life as a trucker! ❤

    Hello Jemma and ALL TRUCK DRIVERS. 18 years ago a intensive relationship ended afther 2 years. What tricked burn out. That means in my case, feeling completely warded out, or tired All day long after two hours of driving i have stop for 1 hour. With no understanding from the office , report sick and it cost my job. SO TO ALL TRUCK DRIVERS MAKE SURE YOUR MENTALITY FIT AND THAT BEFORE YOU LEAVE EVERYTHING IS OKE AD HOME WITH YOUR AND KIDS. ALSO price that doctor ad time who told me that i did the right thing before I killed somebody well driving.
