A day in the life to a bulk haulage driver. Starting in a lay-by on a busy road, navigating the narrow roads of Devon to rush hour and busy city’s with a couple of stressful service stations visits

i live in British Columbia Canada ,i retired from trucking about 12 years ago,we have electronic logs here too now but were still using paper logs when i retired .i cant believe how restrictive your hours are right down to the last minute,like you said your off duty time is supposed to be for relaxing but if you have to keep such a close eye on the clock the whole time that must be very stressful,you are doing a great job by detailing your movements as you go along and describe what you are doing.i did dump trailer work back in the 70"s and still remember having to watch out for wires and roof corners etc. keep up the good work. yogi.

Joe Public doesn’t know the stress and that feeling you get after finding a shower that works whilst living on the road.. I’ve ended up buying a shower that I can charge in the truck and then hide in the trailer and have one as the facilities in the U.K. are that bad! Great video Jemma,rather you than me down those country lanes!😬

Hi Jemma, Great to see you back again. I was afraid you might have been kicked off, like one of Luke C's friends. Presumably that was because of an imbalance between video time and work time. But you're OK - that's the main thing. When I hear your dilemmas about hours, driving time and so on, It makes me appreciate just how free I was driving a small van! Brian

Onboard scales and only one trailer plus you get 45 min rest breaks. Easy life 😉. I have to self load 2 trailers with good guesswork so as to not overload on axle groups and I only get 20mins break after 5 hours duty time 😉. Onya though Jemma for trucking in Blighty. It's not for the faint-hearted. I left it behind over 10 years ago now after having a gut full of English winters. That's what gave me the determination to move to Australia and drive roadtrains. It took a while to get sorted but that's what I do here in Western Australia. No more freezing temperatures for me🙂. If you ever fancy a change of scenery, look me up. Also, I've not heard the word "lorry" spoken for yonks😆. Love it!

Keep pushing if you can, the pressure will lift and you’ll be glad you hung onto the channel. It gets tough, but it really is worth the hassle and you’re taking off a treat!

At least you got a shower even if it's luke warm, when I was driving, 1980's into the 90's you were lucky to get a shower once a week ! most of the time it was a strip down wash from your plastic bowl outside the truck with water boiled in the kettle, all very well for blokes but difficult for the Ladies. Good quality fully serviced truck stops were few and far between in the UK then with most only having a sink and toilet if that, different proposition in Europe when I was on the Italy run.
