SON!!!!!! Couple of things. When moving the big conc rings, rather than put the one around the back as you did, put two over the top but crossed. Easier to do and doesn't allow movement.
Second, J29 truckstop is always worth pulling into and speaking to the staff walking around as they'll get you in if there's room and there was some behind the wash.
Other than that, brilliant video as always and very informative for new drivers. Well done.
Thanks Dad! Good chat yesterday 😁
Hi Deady, just a big thank you for all the help qnd your channel. Bug help for me.passing my class 2 today. Getting my class 1 booked over the coming weeks. Keep them coming and thank you again.
very good Deady, something different is always interesting. Your 15hr breakdown was quite understanable. Stay safe.
Thanks mate. I find it immensely difficult to explain myself
Great video and helpful for other drivers in your explanation of how you organise your day.Good to have more of it👍
Cheers mate
Definitely enjoyed 😁 made me laugh again when you used the windscreen wash 😆😆 Driving that double transporter definitely takes big guts
It does mate. Mental the size of them things
Excellent vlog Deady, really great gen (helps a lot).
I have also just passed my class 2 and HIAB, starting class 1 tomorrow.

Brilliant video mate, considering you have only been driving the best part of a year is really really impressive, love it! Keep it going Deady lad, massive support from me. 💕

Cheers buddy! I don’t recall the back tae front troosers lol
As always a great upload . nicely done breaking the time and breaks down. For me it was one of the best videos so far.
Cheers mate
@@Deady2012 no worries
Not sure if you're doing it already, but if you're leaving your card in overnight don't forget to select end country before you stick it on rest and start country before you start again the following morning 👍🏻
Aye ive been told this closes off the day completely. Too much faffing for me lol
You will be reversing in like that in another couple of years mate it's only confidence. I wouldn't go back to nights out even if I could not sure I will be driving trucks again anyway but wont be tramping if I do . It's a major headache keeping track oh hours then not been able to get parked up lays full and truck stops ball ache. Respect to you doing it now deady
Aye mate i know what you mean.
Learnt a lot from you Deady keep content coming
Great video keep up the good work, love the windscreen views and commentary
Cheers mate
That’s one thing I don’t miss about general haulage, is the stupid O’clock in the morning starts. Who wants a to start work at 2/3am in the morning? it’s the middle of the night. I’m on the tippers now and I’ve definitely got my life back, working normal then go home and see my family every night. Yes the money isn’t as good, but at least I’m not losing valuable time with my kids I’ll never get back. It’s exactly why I meet so many Trampers who are divorced. Anyway another good video Deady, keep em coming mate, reminds me of the days when I was doing curtain sides and flaltbeds with R.T Keedwell.
Deady you always keep it real this is why we all follow your teachings😊
Good video Gareth for a Friday night and have a good weekend.
Cheers buddy
Great vid as per usual Deady,made me laugh about planning a day. Thought you d been in this job one enough to know you can't plan anything in the wonderful world of transport,especially if you've planned to do something when you've finished! Stay safe bud,keep them coming. Are you live tonight? (Sunday)
Cheers mate! I was live yes haha
Great vlog, I am studying for my driver's cpc to drive 7.5t I also spotted one of Sparks haulage trucks opposite where you parked up at the end of the vlog, they are over at Glastonbury so fairly close to me😊 stay safe and see you on the next one
Sparks have lovely units and stuff
Love your videos, I'm currently learning to get my class 2 hopefully in time I can get my class 1
Good luck mate
Deady lad. You’ve come a long way in such a short space of time. 👊
Thanks mate.
Deady cheers for the truck stop app very handy helps when planning my route on my sat nav 👍👍
Welcome buddy
Great video as always bud. Also @32:34 when I watch on my phone, when u say Google maps it's stops the video and opens Google maps up lol keep up the good work. I do try to look out for u on my travels so if u see a plain white 66 reg Scania with a steel slider trailer flashing like mad at ya it's probably me.
Hahaha! I’m sure ill pass you at some point mate
Mate these videos are great👍. Did you have a good sense of the roads and directions before doing your test or do you just pick it up in time. Do you rely alot on sat navs? Asking because I'm interested in getting my licence
pizza a beer and the D,dog on the 65 tv .what better way to spend a chilled evening ! great to see you in that wagon pulling them jobs . man you come a long way in a short time in this trade . living the dream pal and good on you . LETS GO CHAMP !!
Thanks a lot mate
Absolutley brilliant as ever Deady bud take care of yourself and stay safe and well all of you buddy and I have really enjoyed this vlog Deady
Thanks a lot mate!
Absolutley no problem Deady
Good vlog, I’m having my first class 1 driving assessment this Monday, wish me luck m8.
How did it go mate?
@@Deady2012 bad, failed on theory, I’m very disappointed with myself.
Top vid. Keep em coming fella!
Cheers mate
Hi Mate,
Got my HGV practical lessons, CPC module 4 and practical test this week! Whats the best way to get ready for these? If there is anyway! Or is it a case of going qnd learning there. Any advice you can give will be really appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Mod 4 they give u the answers. Cant fail it
Thinking of leaving my plumbing career for this. This video is the best one I've watched from you. I like to feel competent, training videos would be nice, also say to day, night to night work, a true reflection of the goings on
Alllll on my channel mate. Full days. All the training. It’s all here dude.
Enjoyed the vid mate! looking forward to the next from one Gareth to the next!
Thanks mate
I could watch your vlogs just for the music, you have good taste deady
Thanks mate
I used to be stationed at RAF Wittering back in the 80”s when the Harriers were in operation..
I’m jealous! ❤️
Peterborough is where I live.
I assume "MSA" is Peterborough Services ?
We call that "Haddon services" locally (Coz it's next to the village of Haddon)
Also, think yourself lucky you did that run in the day coz at night the A1 south is shut at Buckden. You have to come off the A1 onto the A14 and go via Papworth onto the A428 and rejoin the A1 at St Neots !
Great vlog.deady .. did the car transporter make it in the space Mate my mate works for carlson thought it was him he’s got love god in the front of his cab but he’d of probably turned round and come in the other way 😂😂
Yeah he made it in mate, there was another driver helping him
Marshalls Goole. Can't stand that bloody place 😂 Go in there to deliver admix and they always want you to split the ibc pumping 500 into each tank. There's about 6 😭😂
I always got told if you start anytime before 4am you are on a night shift hours so that means finishing at 5/6 doing 11/12hours, anything after 4am is classed as day shift🤔
If you start before 4am Loui,your classed as a night worker and can only do a 10 hour shift duty shift,unless the workforce of the company you work for has opted out of the wtd night working rules,they can't make you do it. Mind you I quite.often put my card in at 04.02am!
As Neil said. Opted out of the 4am working time thing.
there is a truckstop at junction 31 on m1,take a57 towards sheffield go over roundabout and turn right ,go up hill and its on the left, takes snap
Cheers mate!
I see you still tie your high vis like a scaffolder 😂😂
Yeah i do mate haha! I hate the bits flapping about under my arms lol
Another excellent vlog deady
Thanks mate
Any suggestions best Android App to use for low bridges? Drive 16ft 2 double deck trailer now then for Agency, been caught out using google maps b4.
I have a massive respect for UK drivers how the he'll do you get down those little roads it's a good grief from me haha good work boys and girls
Lol! Thanks mate.
Top notch as always 😎👍🏻👌🏻
The corner was tight at services at end cause u went down wrong way aha look at arrow on floor :) good vid mate
I know mate haha
i love watching your videos and you are an inspiration to me
I just started my new career driving a class 2 I'm still anxious when driving this huge vehicle its going to take me some time getting used to the size and weight and using the tacho properly .
It won’t really. Give it a month and you’ll be flying mate.
Have you thought about the Ned Kelly idea of using bolt cutters to tighten the ratchets for the last bit, thus saving stress on your body
No lol
Brill video as always keep it up👍
Thanks Matw
Hey fella, skipped a bit watched most, enjoyed the interesting content. Did he get that transporter in? All the best.
He did mate in the end yeah. Whats ‘Interesting’ about a guy driving a truck haha
Thank you Enjoyed another of your videos On for 1 hour. Very good. Short or long. Just enjoying your. Videos every time. Thanks again. Take care and Stay Safe and Safe Trucking. 👍👍👍. John Whitehouse
Thanks a lot mate! Take care
Hi, awesome Vlog as always.....PS im new to HGV.
Can you do a video of all the gadgets and apps you use i.e GPS, truck stop.....etc. ps i should get my licence in January 2021 as since COVID, everything has came to a hold.
I only use Intruck mate. Thats it
Someone wanna explain this. If you starting at 3.53am gmt, this is classed as night work, so you can only work a maximum time of 10 hours. Is this right? I know you need a workforce agreement in place to extend it. So is this right?
Yeah, you need a collective workforce agreement.
This has been signed. Day work/Night work... doesn’t matter 😊
Hi Deady,
I’ve been following your videos for a while now. I’ve long wanted to be a HGV driver and I can certainly say your channel inspires me.
Kindly advise did you have challenges getting your first job and do you work with agency or permanent?
If you for agency how consistent were your shifts on your first year?
Many thanks in advance.
You drove past my factory XD 🤣
Wheres that Geezer?
Mint bedding that deady
Deady every Days a Learning day 😊
had to give a thumbs up cos bedford is my home town.. use to go eat at toddington services ..lol
Cheers bud!
great vlog stay safe hope you got to wales before it shut
I did mate haha! Cheers
I like the idea of the job, I've got my class 2 (just the mod 4 to do) but the 3 am and long days sound painful 😬. Fair play to you though if you can do them 👌
Think of that sweet money mate :-p
You can find 6am/8am starts and no overtime jobs, but you'll be getting a normal wage.
I’m newly qualified and have started in agency work, while I love the actual job, I feel like I have no time at all to do anything except work now. Thought I could handle the hours, I thought wrong
I need to find a good balance tbh, class 2 work and watch deady vlogs seems like the future 🤣
You get used to the early starts once you see your wage slip. I do a five day week Monday to Friday, with 2.30am starts, and a day of overtime every other weekend. Days are no longer than 12 hours. £32500 basic, around £35000 with overtime.
I stomach the early starts 😂
I mean 0 ill-will to any of their drivers except the one that I was 'inconvenienced' by but I will always flip the bird to any DSV truck I see as one of their drivers thought trying to run me off the road would be a great idea. So, seeing you park up next to one at the end, I had my middle finger raised all through your drive up and reverse xD
Great video as always Deady, I'm catching up to watching as they release, not too far to go now xD
Thanks up for that info but that's only if your not a resident me how ever I'm still a UK cit I can drive up to a year
Failed my test last on Tuesday over a stupid lane change at a roundabout which I’ve never done before😭 got my test on Thursday again so fingers crossed I can pass it👍🏻
Good luck buddy!!!! Let me know how u get on pal
@@Deady2012 Appreciaye the fact you’ve took the time to reply to me. Cheers though buddy I’ll let you know!
@@Deady2012 passed with 0 minors, so happy😄😄😄
Great video the thing about mars was funny 🤣🤣 hope it stays two meters way of course it does it will catch covid 19 ha 😂😂😂 I'm such a dope ha or maybe it coming closer to take covid away ha 😂😂
Can't wait to hear about uranuas hope that doesn't come close ha 😂😂😂😂 you could end up in a delivery room.
Great vid again doing very well
Hi mate, what are the best apps you use on your phone for truck stops etc ?
Intruck mate
did that portable carpark make it into his spot for the night. that was one hell of a long trailer tobe shunting around. great vlog deedi.
Yeah he did mate, he had another driver helping him.
Another great video mate. How easy would it be to put your working/driving times on screen at the end of the video, just so we can visualise the 15hr day better.
I shall try at some point mate
Usual motorway service's spaces not really big enough for trucks,hardly any room to open your cab door be nice if there were longer space for waggon drag
Deady, have you stopped at Colsterworth truck stop? Better than Peterborough services if your on the A1 in my opinion.
No mate i’ve not. Wheres that?
@@Deady2012 on the A1 between Grantham and Stamford.
Colsterworth, Grantham NG33 5JN
Great vlog mate :-) Slowly catching up lol. Yes can't beat a game of 8 ball pool (hence my level 223) ;-) Oh and just so you know my house backs on to RAF Waddington makes for good views ;-)
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Goole to Bedford is about roughly 2hr 30mins
In a plane?
Great video again Sir Stay safe
Thanks mate
i am a new subscriber and i love your videos they are great its making me consider getting my HGV licence and do what you do looks great fun keep it up
Thanks mate! Great career!
@@Deady2012 and your reversing is incredible like outstanding
Deffo not mate! Learning and improving every day.
I presumed you’ve opted out of starting before 4am it’s classed as night sift and can only work 10hrs
Yup
king of the road!
No way mate lol
And another top vlog from the D of the eady 🤘👍
Cheers mate lol
There's a story behind the Harrier at Wittering. The plane is called Matilda. It is believed that the plane is haunted. Out of the whole fleet of planes that were based there that was the only one to hurt the person who was fixing her. So rather get rid they kept her. My step dad is in the Raf
Great video deady keep it up #thumbsup
Cheers mate!
PACER!
@@RWL2012 yes it it a pacer
How do u reset your working time and does that include drive time
Have a break dude. A 15 then a 30 will reset driving time. Or a continuous 45 will.
@@Deady2012 ok thank u
personally if I was doing a 15 hour day, I would also plan in taking the first 45 minute break around the time the roads are the worst, so like school time, so yes you are doing it right starting at 4am. because then means you are off the road for 8:30'ish which gives the worst traffic time to clear off the roads. for the workers starting at 9, and the school run to finish about 9:10-9:15. so can't blame you starting your shift at 4am if you can get a decent drive in before the mad rush.
but saying that I have also seen the traffic heading into Cardiff at 7am also, so best to be heading out of Cardiff about that sort of time.
Hi Mate, Might have missed it but did you say you took a 15 min break and that reset your WTD for another 6 hours? Think you mean another 3 hours before you need another 15 min. A full 45 min will reset the WTD, either 3 x 15 min (WTD) or full 45 min driving time break will do it as well.
A 15 mins break does give you another 6 hours wtd or until your first 4 and 1/2 hours drive runs out then a 30 min break resets it all again
Good VLOG Deady well done
Thanks mate
Good video deady seen a lot
Thanks mate!
Gonna get soppy now...
I passed my class 2 last friday, I got 2 minors....Today I passed my class 1 with 5 minors
I would like to thank you for your videos as they have really helped me, you and Luke C practically pre trained me lol
Congratulations bro!
I know you won't think it but these are the best videos long ones when your just chatting random shit its entertaining 😅
Wait for my vid in 2 weeks 😂 I chat the biggest load of balls ever. Actually amused myself lol.
Starting at 3 am you can only work 10 hours classes as Nightshift
You can have a collective agreement with all employees to not impose the 10 hour night time limit. However, even without any agreement in place, this rule on night time working is flouted by most trucking companies just like the 48 hour average working week.
Great vid as always Deady, seen you a few times Down near pollington and on m18 flashed ya and waved. I must say I’d rather do your job doing some mileage and away rather than doing 7-14 drops a day plus collections yeah it’s all pretty local 130 mile a day it’s stuff all but when every collection is wanting the same time! And no one has the nuts to say listen we can provide what you need but this is the time we can do no earlier no later! It’s the same anywhere. Any company and this is what I don’t get with all the chaps hating on the job. It is what it is! In any job! If ya don’t like it jog on feck off! Enjoy fella hopefully will catch ya for a breaky one day fella
That attempt at a welsh accent 😆 it’s definitely called a spinny now though
I got shouted at off Mr Andrews for that attempt hahaha
@@Deady2012 need to get Mr Andrews to say good grief 😆
You ever tried using indicators on a roundabout?
What are they?
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONLY USED YOUR CB JUST TO LET HIM KNOW LOL
I use to live in witterring when I was a kid
I was the lad in Lancaster Friday afternoon when you were reversing into car park to get out the estate. Was out with new class 2 agency getting him unloaded after his route. Hes saving to do his class 1. Saw you reversing past our truck and Was telling him that drivers got a youtube channel, cracking videos worth the watch then looked around and was like f*@k I hope you haven't just ripped front end off that parked car!! It's a busy estate with not much space. Our yard is down the ramp to left of the car park
I’m gonna give you a shout out in my next vid, i feel horrible driving off like that, but i only had 2 hours to get back to Runcorn & get my paperwork done & all my straps off etc. I usually have a chat with my followers. So Sorry about that mate!
Thanks for watching my back end on that Beemer though haha! They told me once i got in there ‘You should have backed in Drive’ hahahaha! Bit late now 😂
@@Deady2012 yeah should have backed in, most drop down the hill into our yard, then back round corner and down. Understand mate, Friday's are bad enough on roads, even worse when running out of time. Typical beemers parking in bad spots ;)
My office (when I'm not out driving) is 2nd pedestrian door on left next to the garage if you're round here again. Just ask anyone wandering around for transport Joe, we've usually got a brew on the go.
is the TRUCK STOP TRUCKSHOP still there lol?
Yup
If your at pollington again I only live 15 minutes away I am a hgv class 1 day driver if you want any knowledge or help
Thanks buddy!
Evening not having a go at you but it’s nice when blind side reversing another driver watching instead of all waiting to see what happens

What navigation you use bro?
Garmin Dezl 580
Ahh can’t believe you literally went past my house in little ol stewartby lol good video always enjoy watching :)
Haha! Legend
What happens if you run out of time but you still need to park up?
You stop in middle of the road and park there for the night 😂😂
Just park up then do a print out explaining why you had 15 hours to park up but didn’t manage it lol
No climbing on the trailer ? Site rules or ws?
Site & WS mate
Hi mate have you thought about coming to Australia for a working year I've got a nice kenworth with your name on it
Sort me a Visa & flights and i’m there. Business email is in the description.
The only way that I'm aware of to get in to Australia as a truck driver is on a 1 year 18 to 30 working holiday Visa, as trucking isn't on the skills in demand list. Unlike the UK who don't recognise aussie truck licences at all, most states in Australia will let you drive trucks on your UK class 1 for 3 months. However, whilst they'll then swap your UK car and bike licences without having to take a test, you do have to pass a test to continue driving trucks. If you have a UK class 1, they'll let you skip the aussie rigid truck test and go direct to a HC test which is the same as a class 1. Unfortunately, it's not the same going from Australia to the UK. Even if you have an aussie MC licence covering you for B Doubles and Road Trains, the UK won't allow you to drive any trucks on your aussie licence and require you to start at the bottom again and first pass a rigid test before advancing to the class 1 trailer test. Then there's also the driver CPC qualification which is required and seems harder than actually taking the truck test itself. Definitely appears to be a lot harder in the UK than becoming a truck driver in Australia.
