Your video has already been added onto my transport playlist. Cheers 🇵🇱

Man like pete! Thank you so much mate did my first job today nice and easy because of you!

Caught this video by chance yesterday, and unbelievably had my first job driving a curtain side yesterday evening. Thanks to you I managed without stress and like a pro, in a busy hub with spectators too! Many many thanks!

I think it would be a lot easier if the manufacturers of the bodies would make a FE (F*****g Enormous) Zip that went all the way down the side... sorted lol!

Cheers Peter I start on curtains monday.

Pete, when you are opening the curtain clips don't bother trying to feed the web up into clip to loosen it too fiddly and everybody know your are rookie, what to do is as you pull the release with right hand have your left hand behind the webbing that's running down the curtain with palm towards you, as you release the clip give a short firm yank with palm back to you and the tension is released fast and easy!! also when release the curtain ratchet pull the curtain from the bottom of the pole which unwraps the pole and there is usually a bit of a handle to lift pole out, AND big one !! in the high winds AVOID opening both curtains at the same time the wind is a bitch, I found out the hard way dockside at immingham with an artic ...Jesus thought id never get the sods shut! lol hope this helps Gaz

Great video nice & easy. The only thing he forgot was his oxygen mask, the poor ol’ sausage was knackered. Hat’s off to him well done.

🤦‍♂️Oh you’ve just made my Friday easier then the usual Fridays 😲😂😂😂👍

Great help thanks. I learnt how to use a tail lift but I guarantee when I get my first class 2 job soon it'll be a curtainsider.

Well Done Peter! That's probably the best instruction video you've done! I used to have to do that when I worked at the Argo Distribution yard. Then what you do is throw all the Bathroom Vanity units into the truck from as far away as possible and see how many you could break! Also wear gloves because when it rains or snows in the Autumn/winter, those straps slip and can really cut your hands.

Thanks Dave that was really useful.

Thanks for the advice 👍

If you grab the middle strap and the pole you can pull it all back in one go and when you release the pole pull the bottom of the curtain and there's a strap you can use to lift it out

Great video to a newbie, keep them coming mate.👍

Great video mate cheers!

Great video, thanks

Mate that was a great video. Thanks for that.

I always wear gloves when doing curtains it saves your hands getting battered. Good shout on securing the pole, I learnt the hard way by getting knocked out on windy days

Yr Classic Pete..👍🏾

Thank you Peter 👌

Top man. Thank you for this 👍

Cheers bro👍

Thanks very much for that I have also never done this b4 so very helpful

Brilliant video Thank you

Always pull the curtain pole at least 1 pallet space clear of the oallet being taken off by the forkie so that if the forkie cant see through the forklift mast or its a site telescopic that doesnt have sideshift so will swing out wide when reversing etc the forklift wont dent the truck curtain pole because once the curtain pole is dented its fun and games to get back in especially in the wind etc And in the wind you can also lift the curtain pole up eg swing the top part of the curtainpole outside of the truck and lift the bottom of the curtain pole and put it on the truck bed and it shouldnt move and you can put one of the curtain sidef straps on to another strap just to absorb the slack in the wind etc Ref the curtain sider straps etc The black plastic ones are easy and fast to undo

thanks

Excellent, very helpful 👍 👏

When you're tightening the clips on the curtain . Pull the strap and do like an open and close motion on the clip. It will tighten it a lot more

Hi Pete, That was great. Just getting back into this Industry and cramming as much as i can to help me before i start. Sub'd the channel. Stevie in Scotland.

i wounder if you can help is outher work on the taco inclued in the 9 hrs driveing i stop all over the place unloading so if im out for 9 hrs delivering i may only been driveing for 6hrs but my card has been in for 9hrs if that makes sence

Appreciate it

i got my first job this friday on curtain sider so watch this space

Great more confident to use this for the first time monday...

“You know what you’re doing yeah?” “Yeah course mate.” *watches video* Cheers pal hahaha

has anyone had to open up the curtains and secure it in high winds, like it says in the cpc case studies, I'm learning all the stuff.

Pete ,I see you don't have the forklift holes in yours ...like some nice man did to mine lol 😆

Approach a job like this with no experience ..as myself who drive boxed rigids , an them higher folk seem to deem it as no experience when it could be taught in a day with an experienced driver

Really appreciate this video mate just passed class 2 and never used a curtain side was worrying about that if it would be my first job on agency

Haha 😂
