I've been working this type of job for almost 8 years,and I'm so done with it !!
I'm thinking of working something else,because I am pushing myself to my limits on a daily basis !
I've loved trucks all of my life,but the disrespect,stress that I get everyday,is killing me !
I am starting to fall into depression,even my family life isn't as it used to be before !
I completely understand you my friend,those who have never driven a truck don't have a clue what a terrible job is !
Sorry guys in UK but driving infrastructure in UK is shit compare to Europe... Lack of parkings, lack of showers, lack of even basic toalets.... Greetings from Netherlands
I’m also looking forward to seeing the new content Will. 👍
Good luck with the new job - looking forward to the new content.
Good luck with the new job mate and another great vlog
I've only recently "found" Your site Will even though I've been watching trucking blogs for ages .I must congratulate both You and Trucker Floz for how clear Your voices come across on the vids Mate. This ,plus the fact that You both have to survive some horrific sites for Access I also want to thank You for the touching way You put across the loss of Your Dad too.Hopefully , normality will return with the new truck/new job and We can all continue the super blogs .Thanks again mate .
Best of luck with the new job mate looking forward to seeing the new content 🤙🏻
Thanks mate, looking forward to the new challenges 🚛💨💨
Good luck mate with your new job
Just subscribed mate good vlog look forward to your new content
It’s the right time to quit if you’re not happy.., I quit recently & now doing class 1 mon to fri.., good luck & looking forward to seeing new videos 👍
What do class 1 mines.
That was a dreadful junction where you wanted to turn right where the car found out you can't.
I've a class 2 licence but my CPC is long out of date as I haven't driven HGV’s for seven years or more.
Got my form in to renew, and get my medical, but as I'm approaching 65 I think I'll not renew my licence.
Don't really fancy going back to sitting waiting on getting unloaded/loaded, all the rules and regs on hours etc, and nowhere to get to the loo... The job I'm in now, is fewer hours and flexible on when I take my breaks and its my hobby too.
Thankyou for delivering all the food. Good luck in your new job. Sure it will all work out ok. 🙏👋🙂👌
Oh, it's so marvelous to see that a lorry driver knows more about the industry than the industry bosses.
Why do you think you are delivering fridge boxes more than usual? Any clue? Who do you think is delivering the loads you normally used to do?
Driving a rigid is nowt like a van...for starters the turning circle on a rigid is shocking compated to a van...then their is the obvious size difference.
Often times I find it easier in a rigid than a van
Good luck to you.
I completed my CPC yet again last week with the intention of getting back into truck driving.....however the honest feedback/advice from everyone on all the courses and a few goes on agency driving has refreshed how crap it can be as an LGV.
So I've quit before I start and gone back into driving mobile cranes instead....sorry chaps, I wont be delivering that toilet roll and turkeys at xmas.
Plenty more drivers that will deliver it 🤙
@bab ep3 there is tho am a class1 driver myself the problem is every one watches the news and believe everything they say now you tell me where there is a 100 thousand wagons parked up doing nothing cause I would love to no
Unfortunately I can see driverless trucks coming in faster than before due to this crisis, and its man made, just like electric vehicles they are pushing to speed up this change instead of a slow progression, driverless trucks will be commonplace by 2035 no doubt thanks to Jeff im alright jack bezos
Nice video , is it a lorry sat Nav as to show low bridge and lorry way only ? If they have one , I’m unsure
Not knowing the unknown is why people don't change there jobs, it is scary, but change is a good thing all the best lad.
It's about time!! So proud of how far you've come,but you've outgrown this company it's time for change and add more to your trucking experience!! Good luck handsome xx
Hey Rach I hope he discussed this with you before putting it on You Tube, you know how impetuous some of these men are, oh wait that might just be me. xxxxx
Luckily for me Rach is the most easy going person I’ve ever met, she’ll stand by me what ever I choose as long as I’m happy then she’s happy. One in a million
About time, couldn't put it better myself
@@cloudmaker Honestly I'm so grateful that he does discuss such decisions with me but as Will said as long as his happy I'll support whatever choices he makes. Same goes for our girls,just want them all to be happy no matter what paths they choose in life xx hope you're keeping well trouble xx
@@TruckerWillHiab Sounds like true love to me mate, great stuff.
All the best when you start your new job 👍
Absolutely great videos mate enjoy I do, just one thing this is not about me but I thought I’d get my little bit in I was a trucker for 40 years plus on all types of trucks but never drove a wagon with back steering ability and I’d probably would not want to full respect for you Drivers these days with all the extra technology which I’ve never had during 60s the 70s and 80s life then on the road was so simple compared to what I see with these videos now as I said full respect you do a great job you guys👍
That staines traffic lights are really confusing
Good luck with the new job Will.
Thanks
Bit of an insult to say that a rigid is like a van. I’d love to see a white van man just hop into a 24 toner with rear steer and navigate urban innercity streets. The length and height are just two factors then the weight limits too plus the rear swing and absolutely crap turning circle. Stick a moffett on the back end and it’s even worse.
its because he's a big boy arctic lorry driver pftt
Family first mate ... Respect to you, driving long hours is good money, but family time is priceless 👍🏻
More weight on a wheel doesn’t mean more traction. The contact area over 4 wheels is more than 2 wheels. Therefore 4 wheels has more traction than 2. In theory.
The jobs crap... I drove class 1 for 6 months .. never agen ... I still get agencies emailing me stating in big bold lettering "LONG SHIFTS" .... what kinda person with a life and kids wants to spend 12/15 hours a day in a smelly cab... not me they can stick it... worst job ive ever had.. they expect you to sacrifice your entire life for the job... big no no for me I'll find other ways to make my bread thank you. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Best 👍 of luck with your New driving job will.
Thanks, looking forward to the new challenges
Will, I tried to Quit but when I suggested to the wife about me quitting, well more retiring really, from my job and that she could support me she was not at all impressed, she even threatened to stop my pocket money so back on the road I go! I wish you well with your future endeavours.
😂😂 Hardly fair to stop your pocket money 😂😂 I hope I’ve made the right choice with this new job but only time will tell, sometimes you have to take risks in life and if I’ve make the wrong one I’ll just move on again, it will mean a regular Finnish time and more family time which right now is important
@@TruckerWillHiab Sorry did I read that correctly "regular finish time" are you sure you are going to a lorry driving job. 😉😁😂
Hi Will get on car transporters you’ll love it I been doing it 20 years it’s a doddle
It’s them tiny low roof cabs that put me off. I quite fancy recovery work though
if those locks dont go on what would you do
High m8 hope all goes well with your new job but I must admit the job that you're doing now doesn't look bad compared to some of the crap jobs that I've done bit I have been driving nearly 40 years and some of that was crap money too you take care and stay safe p.s watch the roads 👍
There’s a awful lot that the camera doesn’t see is the nicest way I can put it without naming and shaming
Oke doke m8 I get what you mean stay safe.
New job can't be any less strenuous than today's work.
I've been looking into ALLMI hook & grab but struggling to find employers that will take on someone who recently got their ticket. What's the best way to navigate around that issue?
What area are you? Around my way most of the hiab firms will take on limited to no experience, in fact when I started I didn’t even have a hiab certificate, company put me through the test
@@TruckerWillHiab Yeah, if a company puts someone through it then there is likely a guaranteed job at the end of it. I'm in Burmingum. Currently transitioning from agency driving to finding a company I can grow and develop with that has a feet of different types of vehicles that I can potentially get trained up to operate over time.
Start at a builders Merchant and work up
I quit site manager yesterday. Class 1 from monday. Cpc manager next year, adr, dpd, hiab hope as well...
If you dont try you dont know.
Good luck
Shut it
I wouldn't put it in the 'massive news' category
Good luck Will 👍
Wing mirror removers I call rear steers
Yup u got t be tyre fitter semi skilled mechanic truck washer then drive truck ie tipper did out box no toilet all for 10 50 an hr wow it's a great job
I would quit too if I had to drive a DAF , bloody crap trucks all round , good luck in the new job
Never mucked about. Myself 5 jobs a year was common with me in my younger years.
The company fkd it not me.
I’m also finishing very soon I’m done with it
Shame Ur leaving the job. Hope u find what Ur looking for in another job and good luck
Start the new job Monday, hopefully I’ve made the right decision
What is your new job ? Can we ask ?
Eddie stobart is a great company.. I wish you all the best
😂😂😂😂
I thought WS when he said about the image
@@mattsmith7491 same ws = William stobart ws will be pulling general haulage and taking stobart contracts soon enough
you doing good to change job, normal job 40 hours a week, not the life of a slave like a lorry driver
Yup wrong lane again 👍🤣 RESPECT to the truck drivers out there, i will stick to 3.5T vans thx 😲🤣😅
Driving a rigid is like driving a transit , actually it’s easier because they are mostly automatic unlike transits #artic4life #playersonly
🤝🤝
I'm German and it confuses me that you drive on the wrong side of the road 🤔
Firstly and lastly
Why did your quit
Looks easy enough! You're not exactly working down a coalmine.
Go try it then. If you can handle it, then comment.
Hi I have just subcribed from loughbourgh I'm just starting my training for class 2 got my medical next week got funding from universal credit its been my ambition to get into the industry I'm 41 now feel its the right time to do it
I know a good sycatarist for you to see.
What do you mean?
@@danandsarah2026
I've started with driving hgv's when I was 18 years old been doing it for over 30years now an I wish I never started HGV driving.
All work is stressful slavery. 😟
Oh great, so you claim tax payers money? Proud of you 👍 now where is justice? If I managed to pay for all training myself, using savings builded by hard work - will I get refunded?
Only two twistlocks?
On the box I collected? Was a 40ft cut down to 20 so yea, I chucked a strap over the front
like watching paint dry.
Driving a rigid like driving a transit.....ye right ..🤣🤣.you should be able to drive it with your eyes shut then
does my head in when someone says I am quitting or I have another job! click bait much? you never quit the job until you leave the industry! its just like saying guess what everyone Im moving house! yeah moving next door!
I have actually quit my job and going elsewhere so not really click bait
@@TruckerWillHiab yea so basically down the road in the same industry! you make it seem like your packing up lorry driving completely! your title is very miss leading! and your still trying to hide it now by saying I quit my job? at least tell your audience what other career path you've chosen to make the video least legit to your words of the title! you wont because your straight up lying.
I quit isn’t a lie, I quit my job. Your right I am still truck driving but in a totally different sector, im now on curtains
@@TruckerWillHiab yep, thats what I thought! my mate says it all the time I quit! speaking like he's got a new job on a luxury cruise ship, just to find out he's still in the same industry and working 2 miles away from is old job lol! don't get me wrong, they is nothing wrong with that I am a lorry driver myself, but I've heard it so many times people slating the industry when deep down they actually love it lol reason for never leaving.
If you really want an Awsome trucking vid to watch try ( THE JOURNEY FROM AGADIR TO DAKAR ) Al Jazeera world on CZcams
I drive all day, I definitely don’t want to watch anything truck related in my spare time
No more trucks😥
He is moving companies
Ok
Lol I thought he was quitting trucking
The new truck will be revealed next week
Ooh I want scania
He be back. Where else is he going to earn 40k a year?
I’ve actually taken a pay cut at the new company, there’s reasons companies pay good money, usually they can’t keep drivers or push you to the max.
@@TruckerWillHiab you live near Rugby? I can walk out one job into a other in 20 mins. Loads of choice. I settled at a parcel company. Start when I like, work as long as I like, no night outs. I'm getting 20 quid an hour for days. 55 hrs a week. Had shit jobs and just moved on when I can see the work structure and transport office. Place I am at now is great. Been there 3 years and since the LTD stopped the money just keeps going up.
No I’m Essex bassed
I couldn't afford not to truck drive. I like driving. I don't like loads of drops. You get max 3 at my place and of its 3 it will be around midlands. Usually 2 collections. You can start at 8 and first collection at 1500 and can sit in cab for 4 hrs in yard. They don't care, they making loads money at the Sharpe end and as long as they got a driver and a good one, reliable they don't care.
Every old truck driver I have ever spoke to says they are leaving and the industry has changed. I used to work in a warehouse taking home 200 a week so I can appreciate taking home 800 now and doing less.
Bye
ONLY 20 DRIVERS TOOK VISAS UP OUT OF 5000 IF I WAS YOU I WOULD QUIT YOUR JOB AS YOUR DOING AND SHOP AROUND FOR THE POT OF GOLD
Didnt learn anything.
Ok whatever 👍
Me tay
Wow great title ,a 17min video that has a 29sec clip on your leaving for a new job,. Idea how's about for your followers you give a title of said video something that's more relevant to 98% of said video
Bullmans
👍 spent many hours in there
Bet you back in z similar job within 6 months ! You've no idea what work is -youll be begging for your job back once you try something else !
I’ve done curtains, fridges and containers before so I no exactly what general haulage is all about. At least I won’t be capped in mud on a building site any more
@@TruckerWillHiab
Exactly, that’s why I’ve just quit the Hiab work after 18 years at it,
Nothing worse than dragging equipment around a muddy building site while it’s pissing down with rain !
Come to hate it in the end.
