Scott you have just made our day with a new video. Love from your devoted fans in snowy Birmingham ❤
Glad I can help 😁
Great video again Scott keep them coming doing a brilliant job mate
Cracking video as always Scott, looks posh with the new curtains! Tom Tom app seems good! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 😀🚛
Brilliant Video As Always Scott! Vlogs Are So Relaxing To Watch! Just Such A Laid Back, Easy, Stress Free Character! Relays To The Viewer!
Merry Christmas Scott 🎄
Merry Christmas mate
They will be doing a lot of redesigns and road works up at Birdlip over the next few years + to make it more sensible and hopefully cut traffic jams. Merry Christmas Scott #MoreScott #LoadsMoreScott
Thank you Scott Great video and Enjoyed as always.
Love the video Scott , hope you are staying warm in this chilly weather. Would you still use the tom-tom go app if they updated it to include voice commands.
Great video Scott have good Christmas buddy
Great video again, and interesting about the app, but I will be sticking with my TOMTOM sat nav for now. You timed that video just right! Managed to watch while on a 45min break! 👍
Good stuff.
Thanks Scott!
👍👍👍👊😎
Got to love an Avro Shackleton! Great photos seeing to Beast of machines next to each other.
This video was awesome and the first time I've seen your channel as I'm in the process of using this app on Tuesday when I go out driving a class 1 for the first time anyways thanks for sharing I've dropped a like and subbed
Great video Scott
Hi Scott Andrews it is good to see you on the road with the scania v8
St Athan used to be the RAF’s school of driver training. I passed my driving test and HGV3 there in 1986 and my HGV2 in 1989. You were lucky, I only remember it raining all the time I was there.
That new Tom Tom seems to be very good in directing to your destination. I think that was a very good result at Immingham Docks. Thanks for a great vlog. Stay safe and take care.
I tried the app back in August, was rubbish.
How do Scott I hope you have had a good Christmas and I wish you every continued success for 2023
Hi Scott, thanks for an interesting vlog. Stay safe.
That extra maps thing made me think of my old Garmin where I had to plan an international route to a foreign country if I wanted to go to Wales.
Loving the regular videos Scott keep em coming
Thanks scott going to try it out for 7 days thank you
Hi Scott just wanna say another good vlog and also Just wanna wish you & your family a very merry Xmas from your friends in Fife Scotland
You don't know just how many roundabouts there are mate! The Europa link between Catcliffe (Sheffield/Rotherham) and Sheffield is basically JUST roundabouts, haha! this video and one about three videos back you were driving round places I did on my driving lessons last year near Catcliffe. You went round a bumpy roundabout and I had to laugh because it was just awful every time in the car.
I don't comment often, and honestly, I save like half a dozen or so of your videos and binge watch, because there's not such thing as too much Scott! all in one go!
Another cracking video thanks Scott. Saw an M&M Greene truck last Monday, M6 junction 31, was a Scania so presumed it might be you. Either way, looked good 👍🏻
Yep, that was me
Been using the Tom Tom app with Class 2 Truck For work for a few months now, It works fine never had any issues, i think it depends what Phone u Have , Use it now all the time I tested and compared, it with the Garmin Truck, Sat Nav LGV700 and it worked the same Routes it was good never got lost....or went into restricted roads or Bridges either.
Thanks for all the videos over the past year, and have a burger on me.
Glad you like them! Thanks Adam!
Hi Scott, that app could be useful for me at times, especially on the Bournemouth office waste runs! Have a good week out and about
Hi, are you able to elaborate on the issues you are facing? Are there map issues or just general app issues?
I can see the new curtains fit very well in the Scania 👌🤣
Use a tom tom 6250 with yearly subscription so interested in the app. Have found even with the correct dimensions set it has taken me some strange ways but most of my routes I know anyway. Recent night diversion at south cave the planned diversion was 19 minutes longer so took the Tom tom advice and found myself on a single track road ( wide enough as long as no one was coming the other way ) and it did bring me out back onto the main road . Not one I'd use again though.
6250 got lifetime maps, traffic and cameras.
Did my class 2 at RAF St Athens whilst serving in the RN!
Happy Christmas Scott
Merry Christmas Chris
Scott look at quadlock cases and mount there's one that goes on windscreen and can get a wireless charger too
I have a degree in nursing I got my class 1 during the firemans strike, I always remember doing agency work during my degree driving from one side of brum to the other was always a nightmare and we didn't have sat nav, only az s my first real truck was a Leyland marathon.
I use Tom Tom Go app in my car, very pleased with it.
Good 'un Scott, just a quick note about App not picking up road closed, not the fault of the App it's all down to those that closed the road informing the proper authorities that upload the information to the various Satellite Navigation firms. Our lorries use the Garmin live traffic system and vehicle tracker, which is excellent so long as accidents, roadworks and road closures are reported properly. Hope work is winding down for Christmas and you get a few more early finishes. Stay safe young fella.
A very good Monday evening to you all
Plenty of arms moving around the place Scott lol lol
Yam-yams, Scott. Comes from the ay they talk round there.
I wonder how many user settings you'd need for switching trailers, obviously flat decks need a default setting for unladen as your cab height, but laden can vary in heights?
The TomTom Go app on apple doesn't have the truck SatNav yet
The site you were on to pick up the pallets the bit were you saw all the planes was a plane scrap yard
Try buying a map or even better maps then cross reference to gps especially if going off piste ,
Happy Christmas ⛄🎄 Scott and thanks again for your videos.
Hi, thanks for your content ❤️. Really good stuff thanks 🙏. U said u had a discount code in discription but I don't see one. If you could point me in the right direction please ?
Been using the app for 3 months now, I highly recommend it (and I've not been paid to say that 🤣)
Hot Air balloon pub on bird lip hill has now closed (Xmas eve) ready for demolition for the start of the new road
Screen size may be an issue for some too! Also, the dedicated unit does eliminate ay doubts about use of a had held device should J. Law Esq. be in a certain mood!
And I think the four engined plane might be a Avro Shackleton.
Hi Scott, just wondering what phone mount you use when using the app just because I also have the same phone
Exciting and Birmingham. Not words you often hear in the same sentence. I'm from Birmingham ...
Scott what do you think of the app you were playing with sat on your bed is it worth getting I use co pilot which is ok
I use a Tom Tom go pro 6 had it about 18 months it has route planning issues in towns which cause stress I have to check all its work the cause seems to be restrictions on side roads seem to spill on to A roads blocking the main route in the sat navs mind and sending me down dodgy side roads and under bridges best avoided it’s fine on motorways tbf
found this really useful so downloaded the app on my iPhone, subscribed and there is no option to change the vehicle from car to truck in vehicle profiles.. i am guessing this is only on android?
how do you set truck profile in the app please scott, just does car ? thanks
the tomtom go is good but it doesnt show u the builds that the only thing i get with it so u can zoom in and see the building names and see what the building look like that would be the biggest thing i get with it
Is the hgv height and dimensions part included in the basic subscription? I see it’s £1.99 per month for a year
I've been using road Lords for past 6 months . Not to bad to be fair
Scott I know you are using the phone app ? but what sat navigation have you got 🤔
wouldnt worry bout the phone. the s22 is bascialy the same horsepower wise.. actually wish I hadnt changed from my s20
Is there still a discount available for the app?
I have the 6250 however would rather use my phone as find the tomtom a bit slow.
I downloaded the app paid for it linked my Go Expert 7 to it but its only letting me use it as a car satnav and i cant get it for trucks
Does the app still show if you get a phone call, and how much subscription?
Scania for me best looking Truck.
You should do a Head Cam next video Like a POV of a truck Driver
I downloaded the app went to vehicle profile got nothing accept fuel type where is the vehicle dimensions can someone please HELP 🆘 is there something else I must do to access this feature??
ahh barry.. not been back home in going on 14 years... wonder if its totally fallen to pieces yet
Been using the app for 4 months now. Its good apart from Its laughable pronunciation of towns and cities. I'd say its 90-95% accurate. It put weight restrictions on roads that didn't have them and in Stoke, and got a few bridge heights wrong in Oxford. But I'd say its good enough.
that trailers from a sawmill near me
Can you use your iPad for Tom Tom trucks ????
Hello Scott good video interesting I’ve just bought the new 7inch Tom Tom expert truck sat nav £399 it’s great, the phone Tom Tom app for trucks is £14.99 month, I’m thinking it’s expensive the app just hope the sat nav works for some years ?
Its £48.99 a year for a limited time at the moment. Then after a year it's £79.99 yearly, bare In mind with the satnavs after a year you've still got to pay for traffic etc so you would be better off paying 40/70 quid a year and it's automatically done. Plus if you break your tom Tom your bolloxed if you break your phone your not as u can re sign back in when u get a replacement phone ..
😮
Wasn't that Scott's Timber on Barry Docks
That's where I used to work yeah
Hi Scott, excuse me being a bit nosey!
I have noticed there are some regular loads that you used to do that I haven't seen on any of your VLOG's for a long time, I'm just curious if your company no longer does them or you just don't film them anymore?
I'm thinking Pontrilas Pallets, Brum wood shavings, Argos RDC loads and loads of straw?
Just curious.
Gareth.
We don't do the Argos anymore. Straw is a rare load these days. Still do the others, work is just quiet these days. Plus I don't like to film the same things all the time
@@ScottAndrews thanks for getting back to me.
Ye it seems very quiet, I was an owner driver courier doing same-day work but stopped as this year has been terrible.
I went straight to class 1, had it a month and done 4 days of agency work so far, and 2 of them were in a rigid!
Tough times ahead, dread to think what the new year will be like.
Your company seem well sorted and own their trucks and premises so should be fine in the recession.
Does this app not work for iOS?
Can you change the map to satellite image? The app says it’s £19.99 yr not £69.99 🤷🏻♂️
I downloaded the app but cannot switch to hgv mode 🤷♂️
👍
What happens with the app when the phone rings
Is this app only for android or is tom Tom truck available on iOS ?
🚛👍
How much a month is tom tom scott
I’m on IOS and doesn’t let me change mine to truck 🙄
Sorted price at end of video
Scott you did'nt get lost the last time you went to Dudley, you were temporarily, strategically misplaced.
Birmingham. Has two sides, you're either a Yo-Yo or a Yam-Yam. Don't ask me which is which side!
The new truck is much nicer then the man
They may have finally incorporated the truck features from the standalone units (even though they personally told me they would never do this) but they have priced it unfairly and unnecessarily high. Considering its a basic code port over from their standalone units, so it cost them as little as one engineer half a days work, the subscription cost if paying monthly is over 3 times higher than the equivalent car subscription.
TomTom what are you doing?
I left TomTom years ago when the Garmin Dezl 780 was released, much better than TomTom in my opinion but I was hoping this would be the reason I looked at coming back to TomTom sheerly for the convenience of having a good truck nav on my phone, but I definitely won't be with them subscription prices.
Subscription Prices
car £3.99pm (reasonable)
truck £14.99pm (complete joke)
and its only available for Android at the time of writing this, which I was gonna use my old android for never mind!
Edit: Roadords is very good contender for a great mobile truck nav and they have a FREE version (with no subscription) but its not perfect and still very young in its routing choices.
Call it the appnav

Is the country running out of people in skilled trades because they couldn't afford to live on apprentice wages?
Hi mate I have tom Tom go but has no option to add vehicle details it’s a night mare , I’ve followed your link but still brings me to the same app so not sure why I can’t get the option to add vehicle details
I agree with you I’d love to know how to change it for lorry’s
You need to subscribe to the truck part of the app then you’ll get all features
@@mikejh321 there is no option for that?
I’m in the same predicament 🤷♂️
I’m using iOS maybe it’s only for android’s
I’ve got some sort of subscription but it doesn’t work still
Couple of things, dudley is the black country also known as YAM YAMS Birmingham are known as just brummies.
A brummie guy will try and talk posh when there not
Us yam yams are salt of the earth common as fuck and thick in the head🙄
I work on class 2 rigids
I've also been thinking about that app it's installed on my phone ready to go but unsure weather it's any good? I've seen some bad reviews off the app store..
Nice to see you in my neck of the woods mush ava gud en 😎 lol
Scott...you will have infuriated loads of Black Country folk...Dudley is NOT Birmingham...and they will tell you in no uncertain terms
Just like St. Athan is not Barry Island, which for people living in St. Athan they wouldn't be very happy either.
Scott your generalisations are winding some people up 😉
the lack of skilled labour or manufacturing skills aint new.. its old OLD news.. partly why my dad wound up relocating to CZ god must be going on 20 years now. he builds freight trains god knows what the company is now used to be powel duffryn rail, ews was in there... but bsically its all DB schenka... anyway off topic. partly he there for company needs..other part is they just wernt able to manufacture the stuff here anymore. he even grew to hate having to come over to check the work they sent here to assemble (not even manufacture) because they always messed it up this is a site that had been building these wagons for decades could not even properly assemble the very same wagon despite drawings. his words we couldnt manufacture a toaster if we were given blueprints and it was made of lego. and not gona lie I believe him.. but here we go with brexit going it alone perfectly capable of it..............
This app is android only before all you iPhone users ask, ANDROID ONLY. TomTom probably don’t want to pay the Apple tax, shame.
Nope,
@scott andrews scott, you have lost your welsh accent
Don’t be silly. Scott is like a stick of rock with Wales printed all the way through him. 😂
igo primo is better than this app
Tom Tom is terrible don’t buy that navigation !! I use to love TomTom and it was the best nav for me because of the simplicity and design of menu, but they really gone bad because they don’t have user support and they don’t listen to their customers, they really doesn’t care what you think ! On new models you need to pay for everything, and you need to have speed camera subscription, but that doesn’t matter because for example in Germany is forbbiden by law to use that option so you can’t see where the speeding camera is so you always getting tickets for speeding (for 5km/h over you get around 50-60€ and all over Germany for trucks max speed is 80km/h and nobody is driving 80km/h so you are always getting tickets which is crazy, German laws are crazy, they wanna ripp you and TomTom is letting them do it) so it is useless to have subscription for speed cameras at least for me and now because of that reason and many others i will change my navigation system to Garmin !! And so much more is bad with TomTom i don’t want to get into all of that ! TomTom is really bad and don’t buy it…i would reccomend Garmin it is much much better navigation and more professional…
Tom tom app, typical useless , just like the go expert plus. Rubbish gave mind back for a refund.
