A company I used to work for. The Plastic Powder Tanker delivery drivers used to raid the maintenance dept. for silicone spray to polish the cab and Autosol to polish their fuel tanks while tipping.
They were just yobos Luke. They wouldn’t give a shit. They know they would be done if they did it where the police could catch them so they do it on quiet back roads. They do nothing for the credibility of serious motorcyclists unfortunately. Stay safe. Mick.
That was a weird route to go . From tilbury I would have thought Oxford , Cheltenham then head towards Hereford was more direct . Road would certainly have been better as I live on the side of the A44
Glad you enjoyed the drive from Newtown to Llan dod, it's a road that keeps you on your toes, the scenery is stunning at this time of year. Left Luton in December 23 and moved to Newtown just B4 Christmas, absolutely love it here, Keep safe and drive safe
Bikers doing that are a pain but they don't even give you a thought, I parked in a city lorry park in the SW and 2o/c in the morning got stook up by kids rocking/ swinging on my mirrors, now thats is meant to P you off.
Imagine ordering deliveroo and your food arrives in a state; Then you watch this video and see your driver popping wheelies with your carbonara in the back 😂
As others have said, as it was early then you can't really complain. However you could have called the local police as they were breaking the law by pulling wheelies on a public highway, and also riding a motorbike on a public footpath is illegal.
Nope...see lots of this behaviour even Hampstead where I live,bikes going up n down Haverstock Hill wheelies,stoppies, showing off in Camden,groups of bikers with flip up, hidden number plates,get away with it emboldens them to go further
Its a difficult one with them bikes, part of me thinks if you stuck your head out the window they might have gone elsewhere the thinking being most people dont think about truckers sleeping in the cabs and they clearly weren't out there to piss people off
All good mate. Just sending some family time. I’m updating on my other socials still :) I’m off work tomorrow and plan to Edit and upload a video (Monday)
Llandrindod wells pronounce Lan drind dod for future reference, Welsh names are really awkward to say even people who live their all their lives often get it wrong. I only know cos i used to live just down the road near Brecon, went to college in Newtown so used to drive through Llandrindod Wells every week. Lovely boating lake up there too. Good fishing as well.
@@20Kilogram Yum! I made pad thai for my Thai girlfriend’s mum for the first time. Scary, as she’s such a good cook! Seems to have gone down well though haha.
Its about time that cameras are automatically switched on red X lanes (apart from, say, the first two or three) to catch those that flout the rules. No excuse at all. Regarding motorcyclists, we have a few that do that type of thing on the main roads. I was coming home one afternoon, and a total idiot came onto my side of the road and heading straight for me. If I hadn't swerved over towards the pavement, he would have smashed straight into me, and when he passed me, he did the same to a lorry behind me. What really gets my goat is that if I hadn't swerved or the lorry didn't swerve, we would have been the guilty party. So in the grand scheme of things, those bikers you had were really doing the best thing. Not harming anyone and not near any housing estate. Its a shame though that they woke you up. My hubby had to always get used to noises because he worked shiftwork and would have to sleep during the day, so had cars and van deliveries and ice cream vans playing their tunes. Comes with the job I'm afraid. Anyway, looking at the route you're taking into south Wales, we did the same for our holiday to Tenby. Beautiful ride down there. When my hubby sadly passed away in 2019, I decided to take the caravan out myself after Covid shutdown, to Shrewsbury, and looking where you drove round the ring road, I think you may have passed the caravan site where I stayed. For a first time at towing, I did a pretty fair job of it😊
What do you mean ...you can't moan...are you not the full meal ticket....a brick short of a bungalow??... them tossers should not be doing that so if one them was to come off bike and get hurt ..I piss my pants laughing...no sympathy what so ever if they crashed...he entitled to park there WITHOUT BEING DISTURBED.....you are a 🤡 🤡 R
Love how everyone thinks it’s perfectly ok for the bikers to be doing what they were doing even though they’re were been anti social riding over the pavement etc
I see you’re from Australia. Yeah, that’s warm here. 😂 But then again on the flipside, I will be wearing shorts in 0°C I suppose we are more used to the cold here you’re more used to the heat there
i bloody hate the dartford tunnels. the other week i was approaching it at 16 foot and suddenly all the signs started saying the right tunnel was closed. safe to say some poo came out
Loving the vids Luke. What advice do you give to someone who passed their HGV 3 months ago, trying to get into the industry but no companies want to know without experience. Desperate to get out of my current driving job (bus driver)
I don't know what it's like where you are but Stagecoach and Diamond Bus in Manchester are paying more than most class 1 jobs so I've actually gone back to bus driving. Home to bed every night.
@@darrensmith5679 aah, we've got Andy Burnham trying to make Manchester transport all fully integrated like London. They're throwing money at the buses, all new buses and pay increases to retain existing and tempt new drivers in.
Luke,does it bother you if fans approach you and ask for a pic or autograph? I’ve noticed some content creators don’t like it! They seem to forget it’s us that have given them the privilege to be where they are! Is this something you’d agree with ?
I had a similar problem except it was outside my house, i live in a townhouse and the other night a WRX parked outside at 11 with the loudest exhaust ive ever heard. What made it worse every 15-20mins it would turn on and run for 30seconds. I know they can have turbo timers for turning off but someone might know if it was doing that to keep the engine at a certain temp as it was -2 that night. I dont think anyone was in it as it kept doing it until 2:30 in the morning when it left, i swear you could hear his exhaust for a good 3mins as he was driving away musta been a couple km away by then it was that loud
For some reason I had been taken off your channel as a subscriber. Very strange as I have heard someone else say they had been unsubscribed, Anyway back on subscribed and lovely video as usual.
Some really good comments on here yet again. Like the one says you can polish the paintwork and fuel tanks while your tipping instead of hanging around doing nothing. In some places I've noticed that the natives Like to play in their streets reving engines and practicing hand brake turns at night when nobody else is using the roads. This is very considerate of them, don't you think ? I remember parking up in a backstreet near the Elephant and Castle in London one night and couple of days later I was told that it was the only night for ages there hadn't been a stabbing. So I must've done some good. Eh!
To be fair they wasn’t doing it that late, as you said 6-7pm. So not like you would have been asleep at that time. But I get your point, is a bit annoying when you just want a bit of peace and quiet even if you aren’t sleeping.
Well, there are wrong'uns in all walks of life, I mean even truckers that might be on RUclips fitting side pipes making a load of noise and pumping out black smoke while sounding air horns for no apparent reason!
Gonna throw a thought, as a driver I would find it annoying to have riders & sliders driving by making a lot of noise, particularly when you had a long day & looking forward to a good bit of sleep, but at the same time, I like to take my car for a slide for a little bit, but there isn't anywhere really for to go & have a little fun without disturbing anyone or being plastered anti social, dangerous & having the police after you, I know "take it to the track" but there aren't many around and its a few hundred to do a few laps. Be nice to be aloud to use a carpark of a disused or abandoned complex from time to time.
Sorry but you this is just a click bait video I originally liked your content but now I have finally realised I don't And I prefer watching other drivers
Hi Peter. Two things, firstly. How is this clickbait? I’m assuming you mean clickbait in the sense that it didn’t happen? Secondly, the videos are supposed to be clickbait (in the sense they it’s supposed to get clicks) I feel like this is a clickbait video in my sense, but not your sense. Ie, it’s getting clicks, but it’s true. Not false information or misleading. anyway, up to you if you watch it not in the future. If you ever feel like popping by again, feel free. Otherwise, thanks for watching. Have a nice day. Stay safe
Great vlog Luke ,, how many miles a day do you cover must be hundreds. And what happens if your miles away from home say the other end of the country and you suddenly fell ill sickness bug or something. And one more thing your truck is not that old it's like new how many miles has it done from new....... Cheers 👍👍
Unfortunately Luke I think you have stumbled into a yobs 'playground' with the bikes. They have learnt truckers park here so harass them. The danger is they get bolder, then start bricking the cab etc etc. You are wise to shift. Even after a 15 shift, you could justify moving on your tacho? Health &Safety?
motorcyclists riding on the pavement is illegal according to the Highway Code, so is doing a wheelie. those bikers you filmed are lucky they did not get apprehended by the police. also don't most industrial areas have CCTV?
@davidwhite9159 Not really, no one is looking for curtains other than other hgv drivers, "civilians" don't even notice it and most don't even know that drivers spend an entire week in there.
After doing this shit for 23 yrs driving allsorts of different trucks the worste been an old ERF from Turners of Soham that had 16 fkg gears hi low ratio with splitter i ground every gear,the wagons of today look so fkg easy to drive,i mean ya push a button for reverse,ya had to be an athlete to get an old Foden going backwards,good job luke helped bring bk some good and pretty bad memories,thanks.
Some really well controlled wheelies to be fair
A company I used to work for. The Plastic Powder Tanker delivery drivers used to raid the maintenance dept. for silicone spray to polish the cab and Autosol to polish their fuel tanks while tipping.
Did they polish their gearsticks too?
Yay Time laps, and oh my that road looked lush to drive in that sunshine
They were just yobos Luke. They wouldn’t give a shit. They know they would be done if they did it where the police could catch them so they do it on quiet back roads. They do nothing for the credibility of serious motorcyclists unfortunately. Stay safe. Mick.
In Australia we call them hoons.
Well put Mick!
Hi luke enjoyed the video keep trucking and stay safe mate
That was a weird route to go . From tilbury I would have thought Oxford , Cheltenham then head towards Hereford was more direct . Road would certainly have been better as I live on the side of the A44
I agree, I was thinking M40 , M42 , M5 , A44

Keep safe and drive safe
It's describe Lan Drid Nod Wells, or short Llandod. Great video as always
Many thanks for the correct pronunciation, as I've just moved to Newtown,
Well done Luke that video was much better for content. At least you've got good taste in head banging music. Keep up the good work mate 😅
Hi Luke nice to see the time lapse back my favourite
Bikers doing that are a pain but they don't even give you a thought, I parked in a city lorry park in the SW and 2o/c in the morning got stook up by kids rocking/ swinging on my mirrors, now thats is meant to P you off.
Bloody Hell!! That's almost $3.50 Australian!!!! Its $1.91 at our local!!!! No more complaining Aussies!!
We have it good here hey.
Harry and sons lorry heading through Westfield radstock this morning. I flashed and waved wasn’t sure if it was you !
Imagine ordering deliveroo and your food arrives in a state; Then you watch this video and see your driver popping wheelies with your carbonara in the back 😂
There is no excuse to go past a red X
Regardless of the time or owning the road, it’s antisocial behaviour. They’re bellends
Great video! I swear I saw you in Worcester earlier today (15th May) - if I did then hello!

hey luke iam a trucker myself and i love the videos and love the truck
Another great vlog pal 👍🏻👍🏻
I deliver all the time opposite when you was first parked up the Tesco store
just curious. (luke C)..what make of vehicle would you recommend for any futurue purchases?
Another great video.
Thanks for the insight of your daily day in a life of a hgv driver. Very interesting!
Its a difficult one with them bikes, part of me thinks if you stuck your head out the window they might have gone elsewhere the thinking being most people dont think about truckers sleeping in the cabs and they clearly weren't out there to piss people off
you allright Luke? been 11 days now since you posted a video here!

Really really miss the tuggy horn the daf had
I thought you'd be using your 360 camera
Bikes like that sre a pain in the butt buyt what can you do in that situation but move. Liked the welsh road time lapse.
Hi guys. Does anyone know what satnav he uses and where I could buy it?
Keep oil in you side locker and tip it all over road for them, THINK BIKE THINK W ⚓️

What dashcam do you use sounds a good one?
Thear are lorry parks for you to park in and you do not own the road it's that simple
Who said I own the road? 🙄
Oh yeah? How far away is the nearest one? Let's talk parking fees.
Looking forward to watching as I eat my dinner :)
Me too, ordered some sushi

Luke you would make a good Elvis impersonator.. If the driving work drys up like.
What was the music you was playing after your 45.... sounds like a band like 30 seconds to Mars...
In the interest of fairness, I'd say that i don't think most people know if someone is in the cab sleeping or not.
You right about that however I dont think these idiots would care either way
I’m sorry but I’ve always found it b****y obvious - if the curtains are drawn around the windows it’s a good bet that someone is inside asleep!
@davidwhite9159 Not really, no one is looking for curtains other than other hgv drivers, "civilians" don't even notice it and most don't even know that drivers spend an entire week in there.
The only time I notice a driver is sleeping is when they switch lanes
@@adammaloney2356 LMFAO
Luke, if you ever have to use Dartford. Always allow at least an hour extra. That tunnel backs up for about 5 junctions each night
Always make sure wheels are cool before you clean them with glass cleaner as can damage your durabrites over time
