Ireland's only had one domestic truck manufacturer, unlike their neighbors from England and Scotland. This truck manufacturer was called Dennison, and they're still around today as a trailer manufacturer. Dennison entered the truck market in the late 70's, and if my memory serves me right they were active in the truck market until early 80's. Dennisons are similar in design to the Dodge L-1000 we had in the US in that they are very simplistic, boxy trucks that look like someone designed them on their lunchbreak with a straightedge. Part of the reason for this was because Dennison didn't use their own cabs, choosing instead to use cabs from Foden, and later Sisu. Dennison had three models: a 4x2 tractor for general work, a 6x2 tractor for heavier cargo, and an 8x4 design that was used exclusively for dump trucks. Only 250 Dennisons were ever made and they are very, very rare, kind of the European equivalent of the Dodge Bighorn. If you ever visit Ireland, I suggest taking some time to try and find one, I promise you it's worth the effort.
The nearest neighbour to The Republic of Ireland is actually Wales and not Scotland or England.Before Brexit the majority of Irish Trucks would use the ferries to The Welsh ports of Holyhead, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock.
Hey Yukon, didn’t think I would see a video based on Irish trucking as it’s fairly straight forward for a content creator such as yourself but that said it is no less appreciated seeing the boys and girls getting recognition. My da and cousins are truck drivers and I’m currently learning the ropes.
Please do an Albanian trucking one, as a country without a modern railnetwork, almost all domestic freight is transported by truck there. I would love to see that episode
Another way you can spot an Irish truck rather than just looking at a bullbar is through murals. A lot of Irish trucks have murals on the back of the cab dedicated to someone or something a bit more personal than say the trucks brand logo, especially privately owned trucks of which there are a lot of in Ireland. Some drivers also work for trucking companies using their private trucks resulting in some company trucks having a wide range of paint schemes. Also a lot of Irish trucks usyally have stainless steel straightpipe or sidepipe exhausts. Exhausts to us are bullbars to continental europeans :D
Can you do Switzerland? Not very special, but you did Liechtenstein, so... I think we don't have many owner-operators, most drivers are employed (that's just a guess, the way it looks on the roads). Our country may be interesting because of the Nord-Süd-Achse (north-south-axis) down into Italy.
I never expected this video, thanks! Fun fact, my closest port, Rosslare, was about to shut down pre-Brexit due to a downturn in ferry sailings and general activity. But thanks to brexit and the ports location on the southeast coast its absolutely booming again with many new shipping and ferry routes due to how close it is to Europe compared to other Irish ports.
I hope you will do Belgium, we got a HUGE highway and road system but I don’t know if there is something interesting in my country! Take care thanks for those videos ! Amazing quality
At 0:49 you show a David Watson truck, I don't know if someone told you they're an Irish company but I'm afraid they're not, they're mainly based around central England and a little North.
Oh brilliant, I hope a mention is given to the importance of Hino here, we were the first nation to start importing them to europe and have an entire assembly plant here thats been a big part of the trucking world here for decades (weirdly enough) and also a funfact there's only 3 'road train' trucks in the country at the moment and I've only seen one of them, permits are hard to get and totally an unnecessary truck here, but still manages to exist anyway. Most common truck you'll see here are flatbeds carrying 40ft containers and curtainside trucks
There had been alot of truck accidents in the last couple of months. Maybe you can make a video about trucks in Turkey and maybe you can find the reason behind it.
As someone who lives in Ireland I know a few people who are getting out of driving trucks because off all the crap they have to put up with and poor pay. Some drivers are on the same amount as a lad stacking shelves in a shop.
Can I just say, that's some fantastic Irish pronunciation at the beginning of the video ! Go raibh maith agat !

An odd thing about trucking in Ireland is the prevalence of trucking jackets with catchphrases like "never late in a v8"
Do Italy next!
I second to this
Yeah I third. Italy will be cool
Yes.
@@ss.spotting I fourth

Hi Yukon, thank you for these interesting videos! Could you maybe cover the Kingdom of Jordan for your next video?

I would love to see more about trucking in South America.
Hey Yukon, you should definitely cover Cuba next.
Can you do Switzerland? Not very special, but you did Liechtenstein, so...

I checked your channel at the start of the day to see if you covered Ireland. Turns out a was just a little early :p
Id like to see you cover Norway and sweden
I never expected this video, thanks!

But thanks to brexit and the ports location on the southeast coast its absolutely booming again with many new shipping and ferry routes due to how close it is to Europe compared to other Irish ports.
Awesome video, can you do one about Germany (rich and one of the largest countries in EU) or Czechia (crossroad between western and eastern EU)
Yukon! Can you do Norway at some point? (Preferably before you cover Sweden)
YAY! great to see you finally do my country!!

We've developed a unique style of decorating our trucks. And I'd appreciate the lack of the term "British Isles", ruffles feathers, especially mine.
