For those wondering B&Q stands for Block & Quayle

Gotta say didn't expect Steve coogan becoming a hgv driver

Brilliant Stuff Jay & Thanks for the mention.Cracking View count for a video up 1 day Well Done Buddy ;0

Hi Jay, if you are coming to Ireland again and happen to be doing the same drops (however unlikely). Don’t take the right in Birr just after 13:53 (not on recording), go straight towards Roscrea and on to Limerick that way. It’s a much better road with more motorway driving and has another large services too, if you needed one. SatNavs can take you down some smaller roads unfortunately. Try to get the Eircode (these are unique to each building) for the drop/pickup and preview the routes on Google maps. If you can at all stick to the N and M roads as much as possible. It will make your life easier. Some N roads, like the one from Birr to Borrisokane that you took can be crap too though.

I used to travel and work in Ireland some years ago now. The sat nav never seemed to work very well then. Whenever I asked a local for direction the detail they gave you of how to find the place was amazing. Dublin to Athlone was a regular trip and also orth to Cavan.

I love going to Ireland, you are a natural at this, I enjoyed this.

Best wishes from Galway Ireland hope all is well keep on trucking cheers Declan 👍👍

Nice to see u around finglas dublin

A very good Wednesday evening buddy from Alan Shelley in Lowestoft buddy 👍

You got to within twenty Miles of me jay to limerick, out west where the best of Ireland is😉

Excellent video Jay as always! Nice and tight on the ferry!! Keep up the good work and keep safe! 👍😀🚛

Sound that pal very interesting love southern irland👍

Welcome to Ireland Jay from derry

Got caught up in the same clusterphuque going the other way. Got an email from Stena telling me the sailing was cancelled. I was already in Fishguard. Stena booked me on the Irish Ferries sailing from Pembroke. Can't complain really, just got home 4 hours late.

Another great video, thank you.👍

Blimey that was a tight squeeze getting your truck off that ferry mate. Great Vid as always.

Hi Jay , it's mad seeing you wheeling around my home town , Dublin . Tallaght is pronounced Tala .

I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO IRELAND 🇮🇪 HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THEM GOOD LUCK 👍 FROM DUBLIN STAY SAFE BUD 👍 👍👍

Great vlog as usual . Parking in Pembroke Dock:- Used to see 2-3 Irish trucks regularly on pier road by the travelodge a couple of minutes off the ferry.

Thats a new ferry on that route, they are still getting used to loading it. Sad to hear the food was shite. The staff and facilities on the previous ferry, the bluestar 1, were top class

Another great vlog Jay👍🏻👍🏻

Good 1 jay, after watching the 2 together, athlone is only 20 mins from me,, you got to see a bit of Ireland, that oscar wild ferry is only new to irish ferries, 👍☘️👍

Stena will always be the better crossing at all 3 ports. However, I'd still rather get Irish Ferries than the traitor boat (P&O)

Cheers Jay for another cracking vlog, things seemed to go well in Ireland and then Irish ferries went and wrecked it all. Stay well 👌🏻

Brilliant vlog Jay, loved the scott andrews views..thank you for a tour of ireland😊

Another good video Jay. Hope you put in a complaint for how you were treated.

Getting of that ferry sure looked like fun, that was damn tight.

Looked like you nearly smacked your head on that Learys trailer when you were getting off the ferry, it looked chuffin tight.

Tallaght is pronounced ‘Tal A’ 🤣. You could have parked overnight in the Circle K on the Ballysimon Road in Limerick. Less than 5 mins from where you parked.

Great video for anyone wishing to start a driving career. Should do a video of the good and bad points of the Job. I drive a Van for the past 30 years. Its easier to turn around in. Drove from Kilkenny in Ireland to Ulannbatarr in Mongolia in a ford fiesta for Charity. Great fun. Check out the Mongol Rally. Cheers Frank. But you need to love driving. I used to drive 13 hour shifts back in the day non stop.

Great vlog Jay 👍🇬🇧

The hotel at the top of the hill at rosslare is great for a pint in the evenings. There's a set of steps up from the port up to the hotel by God it takes some doing getting up them 😂 😂

You must have drove past my moms old house in New Ross

I'm amazed these young drivers survive, you phone the customer andask best way in ectra

You were less than 5 mins from my house at that B&Q in Limerick, that's mad 😄

Love watching your vlogs mate, no bullpoo!

The Irish ferries ship you where on was the Tallink star that went from Helsinki to Tallinn and it took 2 hours for that crossing, it done 4-6 crossings a day so it not great for anything longer, most truck drivers I knew who used the cabins where for a shower, shave and a shit. Since it was a short journey

You can call yourself a proper trucker now uve done a ferry trip 💪

Nice one Jay least you made it home in one piece lol 🤣🤣🤣

Great blog Jay you did really well driving into our City Dublin 😊👍how did you mind trucking in ireland ? from Dublin did most my truck driving around Ireland and almost year in Canada some uk experience, I find trucking in Ireland a lot easier than uk , i know its bigger and more traffic ,but think deliveries are handyer in Ireland

The sat nav in Ireland is pretty much useless, get a map out prepare your route and always have an alternative route in case of delays, how do I know well I live in Ireland and on many occasions the sat nav will send you down roads no wider than a car never mind a truck, plus many roads have not been upgraded and follow the same route with bends for miles then through small towns with 90 degree turns to get through the town, saying that Ireland is beautiful and has a good main road systems between cities just don’t get sent down a L road or indeed some R roads, in the north the A roads are pretty good but some B roads need to be avoided, prepare in advance and have euros ready to pay the tolls, still a great place to visit people are very helpful and the Guinness is far superior in Ireland than anywhere else

Nice one jay👍

Great vlog jay

For a few years now on YT, ive been watching the wuckfit drivers that inhabit the UK (... might of been on a video myself for stupidity at a lax moment....I'd like to say i doubt it, but you never know). What does shock me are the motorists who think that HGV drivers can stop on a sixpence like todays cars and generally cut them up at randsom.. Audi drivers seem to be the worst from what I have seen... Any way I'm off topic. Passed my HGV around 25 years ago never took a job it in though, and after seeing the above mentioned on YT.. and watching the shite you have to go through Jay.. I'm glad I bloody didn't!!

Great video jay. So will you be a regular now on the ferrie going to Ireland ..

on the ferrys where its super tight might be the only place mirror cams would be usefull ,looked like a good change from the normal do you fancy doing it regular

I'm surprised that you didn't go on the M6 and M18 from Athlone to Limerick, it's more miles but still quicker.

Hi Jay great video mate 😊

From a car driver pov stena have the better ferries. Irish Ferries are ok so long as you are the on Ulysses the Epsilon is a dump. P&O are old and slow but the price includes food, but I wont use them after their carry ons in 2002. Left me stranded and didn't even attempt to book me unto a Stena ferry.

should see Irish ferries reviews 😂 trustpilot 1.8, trip advisor 2.5 😂

No back load handy haulage

Tallaght “Tal-ah” 👌

Really good video Jay lad 👍Will ya be doing any more Ireland trips?I’m originally from Stretford Manchester where I used to drive 8 wheel tippers.I moved to Castlebar County Mayo in October 21 where I drive van/truck delivering sportswear around Ireland.I know what ya mean when not on motorways over here and there aren’t many of them some of da roads you have to drive on are like bog roads although the bypass roads are decent enough.Don’t half miss Manchester and da tippers though 😢

Brother you had no business taking that rig through the city centre like that. The road you were on when talking about Ned Kelly's the M50 - it's like the M25 for Dublin and would have taken you right around the city from that second Murdocks drop to within a few hundred meters of that first B&Q 😂😂😂 that's what it was built for actually, to keep you outta the city! Close down that shitty satnav and use your phone nav - waaaaaay better in Ireland. Everywherein Ireland has an eircode now too. (*same as postcode) we don't live in the past anymore.......😅

Hi Jay my boy has started as a trucker but what he said there is a lot of bad food places where to stop so why can you put it out to all the truckers where are the best servis stations and food to stop for

I bet you where touching cloth getting off the Ferry haha, Nice Driving Again mate.

Hey jay would you put the details on about that power pack from the last vid

Have u ever been to Derry or Belfast Jay

Been trying to fig your accent, midlands somewhere, did you get your hgv in forces (RCT) that’s where I got my one,tho never used it,those massive gun tractors used to scare me?

You have to pay for that food 🤮 And it doesn't matter how small or big the room is, you (the company) pay for the room then you can expect everything to be neat and clean.

The joys of using ferries Jay - they are great at throwing a spanner 🔧 in the works. How did you end up on Upper Camden Street in Dublin? Looking at you drops before and after they were nowhere near the centre of Dublin. I'm guessing you now know how to pronounce Tallaght 😝 Will you be doing more Irish work in the future?

Another great video. Thkught about doing international?

Where did you get your strap storage box from that’s on the catwalk?

It’s just Ireland. Not Southern Ireland :) It stopped being Southern Ireland in 1922.

How long is the trip?

Tallaght pronounced talla the ght is silent

Tallaght = Talla haha Talight? Love it

Irish Ferries by any chance???

Interesting video. Just for advice referring to Ireland as "Southern Ireland," and also part of the "Rest of the UK." is unlikely to endear you to people actually residing in Ireland.

Always heard people say bad things about Irish ferries just from other truckers on KZfaq but for them to serve you pink chicken and watery curry is vile 🤢

Jay is doing 4 in a bed for ferries ha ha.

Irish ferries had problems with straping trucks and trainers instead of chaining them down

Tall-light lol, I suppose you could read it that way too lol, its tal- as in al, like alley. laght alright, ill give you this one, its LAA, as in latte, the ght is silent so tallaa if your English not tall as in big, Tallaght is like the Essex of Ireland, but you got Athlone bang on the first time, ath is like your version of ford, a ford across a river, so its looans ford essentially.

There is no such place as Southern Ireland !

Block & Quayle B&Q for one point Is there a BNQ in Wigan answer no WIGAN !!!!

luke vernon could tell you few things about ferries lol

You going to kelsall steam rally

Irish Ferries have very rude staff in my experience.

SUTTON IN ASHFIELD

Hve you moved to mansfield now jay

the rest of the uk

How’s plasman

Didn’t know you were over wuda met up somewhere.

theres more than one crossing between uk and ireland use your head man your supposed to be a proffesional driver

Second

YOU ARE NOT IN CORK, SO YOU ARE NOT IN "SOUTHERN IRELAND". YOU ARE JUST IN "IRELAND".

Next time you're over in Ireland Google eircode put the address in and it brings you to the door
