This is pretty normal in supermarket yards I go to most of the times you’ll have to jackknife trailer inside if your unable to reverse in

There goes 5mm of tyre tread

Just subscribed you are like the hgv ksi

Hi Kevin be careful when publishing how to videos on digital tachos you give correct information. When using the latest Gen 2 Tachos, daily rest is denoted by the symbol’?’, not the bed symbol. That’s the previous old tachos, not the latest. Just a heads up, it’s good you’re trying to get drivers to do the manual entries.

Fantastic informative video. Im only used to the old paper tachos years ago. I do have a digicard but my CPC ran out before I could use it, and ended up doing something a bit different for a while until I could decide what to do. Probably go back in the industry, I miss the bigger vehicles. Cheers for uploading this.

How to take out card from machine after job done?

i don't find starting early a problem, but REAL night driving is bad, start at 8.00pm till 6.00a.m, body is screaming SLEEP,

So I’m in a personal trainer & have been for the last 6 years but looking for a career change with decent pay and driving in lorry sounds good

Cracking video ......well broken down .....even for an infanteer 😅

Jackknife easy

I've recently passed my class 1 all I need to do now is my mod4 CPC and send off for my tacho, This video has helped me out loads giving me ideas how the trucking life is going to be like.

Vitacress, worked for them many times over the years. Good firm but long hours.

So turning around is hard?

Hi Kev hope your well my transport manager instructed me to drive without my tacho and put out of scope it's illegal doing a school run

The hgv has to wait until his back tail is clear .

I bought the same tomtom sat nav as you, and I have owned it a year now. I have a minor grumble and a major grumble. 1st grumble. It's slow, I was surprised how slow the menu system is. It's really frustrating clicking a button and waiting for the next menu option. 2nd Major grumble. It consistantly losing traffic info connection. It immediately had bluetooth connection issues with my Note 9 phone. So I upgraded to a Samsung Ultra 23, and blue tooth connection to Tomtom traffic services worked for a while then stopped..... I then used mobile hotspot wifi on my phone to connect to tomtom, this worked well for months, then last week it stopped working, zero traffic data. Even when connected to my home wifi which should work regardless. Still no joy. In desperation I reset the device and had to restart the entire thing as if it was a new unit. I have literally just done this before I wrote this. It appears to have brought back my traffic data but I have yet to test it out on the road. My advice is, when you do updates that you will be asked to do. check your traffic is working immediately after update. This may be the problem. When its fully working, I am happy with the way it works, always check your routes, especially bridge heights, it has tried to send me under a low bridge even though my vehicle height was set higher. PS I also have on phone road lords and TomTom Go as back up (this app is odd and cant say Birmingham...)

Most architects and designers haven’t got a clue about how to design a turning area for HGV trucks especially Tesco etc etc etc.😮😮😮and this yard isn’t suitable for a class 1 …a rigid would be far more suitable class 2 (c)❤✅✅✅🚛

How do you know is good for HGV? You haven’t mentioned arc bridge, low bridge etc. And thats is importance for driving lorry!!!

Big kev dont no if you still get comments on this but in your next vids when you doing your drop of can you show when you going in and turning round in palces keep up the good work

Easy stuff

Truly amazing truck and driver❤

start my first haulage job this Tuesday so this is very helpful thank you Kev!

The van driver had enough time to get out of the way as they can climb the cerb so van driver being silly sat there instead of moving out of the way

Not a trucker. But really like your vlogs. Most interesting to see how things work.

Brilliant Kev, Can you confirm what hours I can do for a night shift on C1 , just got set on at Wakefield Culina on agency, loads of nights available...is it a Max 10hr limit? Thanks.Lee

Great video, Good entertainment, Thanks Kev . Steve from Manchester. keep em coming, Your time is really appreciated, Well done.

Hello Kev, As a you-tuber-(V,Logger) you come across as very entertaining with given good interests for us HGV drivers or those looking to come into the HGV Industy. I've since watched three of your videos and the last one was the DPD video, Liked all three of them. I will certainly be looking forward to watching many more and catching up with your previous completed videos as I said they are joy to watch, more so educational too. Many thanks from me Steve here in Manchester.

Hi Kev: I’ve just subscribed to you You-Tube Channel. May I share with you my respective gratitude of appreciation buddy for your given shared time with this shared video. I am a man in my mid 50’s with past experience with HGV Class Two. Although November 2023 I passed my HGV Class One (C+E) first time pass. However I never thought I’d experience such a major struggle to find an HGV Class One position of work, Given I’m unable to get the experience for Class One. Either way not known to me before now but I will certainly attempt to find work in the way of your own experiences. Looking through Indeed which I am in agreement with you I have so far discovered it totally useless. Thumbs up to you and many thanks from me Steve here within the Manchester area. Your video is superb and scores a press of the like button from me, for sure, Excellent. Take Care.

Tks for clear detailed video, my first time using this VDO tacho & the "driving without card" screen threw me.

So basically, you have to account for every minute of every day? So if you were on holiday for a week, you'd have insert that as a rest period instead of just saying you started at a certain time on that day?

Just whatch your video what a load of bollocks agency get all the shit or something nobody else wants to do believe me I’ve done it 35 years .

Cool vid bro For future reference it’s a trailer brake not a handbrake and the coupling method you friend taught is referred to as split or close coupling. Keep up the good work

Maybe you need a little more ADR training if you think your whole load is butane😂😂

Just be aware that TomTom sat nav’s lifetime updates stop working when the company decides you’ve had enough, and they tell you to buy another device! Had my go expert 7” 2.5 years and it’s now obsolete, according to them, and won’t be updating soon.

Wanted to ask I’m struggling to find my first job as newly qualified is it best to go through an agency as all are asking for a years experience. Awesome vids btw thank you for making them

You coming back mate?
