IVECO - Intense Vibration Everything Comes Off

Thanks

Thanks a lot and have a great week 👍

Same as some companies, I worked agency then full time for a company that paid per job, mileage, tips, loads, trailer changes, the good old boys always got what suited them and you got the shite, occasionally they would throw you some scraps and think they were doing you a favour.

The scrap metal usually gets loaded in the 20ft boxes because it gets heavy really quick. I know i loaded a lot of them. If they would load that in 40ft boxes the weight will be over 50 tonnes

@@Raul689 I had aluminium in a 40ft tipped up - it didn't look to clever!

Nice! Best of luck

What's the compagny name is it?

I will always choose garmin

@@Raul689 what is the difference from other brands?

@@playgames3292 is all down to personal preferences 🥃🥃

I find it more reliable then the tomtom and more user friendly but hey that's just me

I think Volvo own Renault.

@@trucktasticsussex8183 Your right and I wasn't aware of that. We don't have Renault trucks in this country. Wikipedia state it was via the Renault Trucks purchase, from the parent company, that Volvo came into possession of Mack Trucks, both of which are built side by side here. Having operated both gotta say the Volvo is my strong preference. Thanks for the clarification.

Wasn't me. This video is from last week. No containers

This is the kind of setup I am after, I also work Mon-Fri in an office. I am a new pass though so no experience pursuing this kind of setup or driving commercially. Did you find it fairly easy to arrange this work agreement, any advice on how to go about it? I worry that lack of credible experience will make it so much more difficult to find a setup that works around the office job. Have heard many saying you can’t be picky when newly passed, but I can’t leave my current job just to get experience for weekend roles

@@cameronk7165 obviously our situations are quite different, but I didn't have much of a problem. In both cases, I was upfront with the agency - I told them my position, that I'd only be able to work weekends as I already had a full-time job, and if they were interested then great, but if not, then that's fine too. In both cases they took me on. So, the main bit of advice I'd give is just to be honest with them. It might take a bit of time before you earn the agency's trust and they start giving you more regular work. With my first agency, my experience was that they'd offer work to the people that worked most recently, so only doing the odd weekend, they'd tend to forget about you. The best thing to do was to ring them on Thursday or Friday morning to tell/remind them that you're available for the weekend. Agency clients that normally won't take a new pass/limited experience driver will often "bend" the rules if they're desperate. So, get yourself in the agency's head at the time when their client rings up and says "we really need someone urgently". Be reliable. You don't have to accept everything, but if you do accept, make sure you turn up and do the job. I've not seen it this time around, but last time I was doing supermarkets, every transport office would have a list on the wall/whiteboard of the agency drivers that hadn't turned up that day. Some drivers will register with multiple agencies, accept one booking, and then dump that if they get a better offer from someone else (often without even bothering to tell the first agency). Earn yourself a reputation as someone that is reliable and turns up. First time around, I started doing rigid work, moving to artics after about a year or so. Rigid work is often foodservice - delivery to pubs, restaurants, etc. It's physically hard work with lots of handball, and lots of early starts (typically 4am). Lots of transport companies like early starts (4-6am), so if you're willing to do that, that will help broaden the range of work you can get. In my case, I've already done my share of that when I was younger, and can't be bothered with it any more - I've already worked 5 days during the week, so if the agency wants me to work on the weekend, then they need to offer a sensible start time; if not, then I'll just stay at home. Second time around (after a break of about 15 years), I had enough experience to be able to pass an assessment with one of the supermarket chains (especially the reversing test; everyone is always terrible at reversing artics when they've only just passed). They're operating 24/7 and are desperate for drivers so they'll basically take whatever hours I'm willing to do. Remember that your regular job is classed as other work. If you're already doing Mon-Fri, then you can only do one day per fortnight as you have to have a 45h weekly rest every other week. You also need to make manual entries into the tacho for your other work at the start of each shift, which takes quite a bit of time. Make sure you're well clued up on Drivers' Hours Regs and other Theory Test type of stuff as the agency will probably test you. Don't be afraid to admit that you're new. Whenever I went into a new client/delivery point, I'd always say something like "It's my first time here, so feel free to assume I'm an idiot that knows nothing". A bit of self-deprecating humour always helps. Good luck.

Excellent advice from Mr Flibble - I do agency work and only weekends and never had any problems with that. If I want to do a Wednesday as well, for example, I just tell them and certainly when it’s busy they’ll find me something. Good luck & hope it works out for you.

Glad i can help pal

Thanks pal. Yeas sorry but i was just joking around... my french is s*** 😄

@@Raul689 hi there,to tell you the truth my french isn't that crash hot...however your english is just brilliant, you speak it so well.You place the "fucking" in just the right places and you have aquired that lovely english sense of humour, bit like us Australians, we just take the piss out of everything. Love your chanel.

30 minutes tops

Thanks for your feedback. No I've never been to Ireland although i really like to visit the country

I think i was talking about the Renault Premium 😁

there is always a risk of cancelation. i run empty most of the times. but it depends on what kind of contracts the company has. maybe it gets paid for the round trip, like containers. UK is more relaxed than the continent. less paperwork but you wont do as much km on this traffic. or maybe if you get scotland runs

I prefer a 10h day but you never know in reality. Might go up to 60 hours / week on a 5 day rota

Probably will switch to paye sometime. No plans to have my own truck

He’s actually Romanian 😁

Thanks mate. Yes i know about it and probably that's where I'll be in the following weeks 😁

It's difficult for us Romanians to get a visa

😄😄

The Renault? 😁

Not yet

Noo i'm rolling with the smoking germans 😄

we download it every day at the company we work for

Good idea

You just pull it

@@nickaf5262 woof

Lots of them i am signed with 6 i think

Hard to say. Might say Volvo is better but i would choose Scania for comfort

This video is a bit older pal :)

Garmin dezl 770

Yeah i had a few of those meters... but they broke them all..

Unfortunately i can't share names but Indeed is full of agencies offering work

I had a friend based in Liverpool when i first came in the UK but originally i was meant to stay in London. Also i applied for a job and got called in 2h and the next day i was working already

@@Raul689 oh well you ended up in good place iam like you a trucker let's keep the wheels rolling having a break near Edinburgh good vlogs by the way keep them coming 👍

thanks for the insight. all the best!

@@Raul689 any tips for a new driver? Got your class 1 last week. Straight from car. So have 0 truck time until I find a job lol

@@Bigtinycrawlerhow did u get on?

@@Abc-li1ij I've been working for XPO since I passed my test. 1k a week with paid holiday and overtime. Love it

@@Bigtinycrawler I think Iv seen them around houslow area. Have to take a look at them.

There are terms of confidentiality in the contracts so unless they do something really robg i can't point out and shame them on socials

Tough so but i was just trying to be funny. But hey thanks for the clarification 😁

@@Raul689 Yeah, I figured it was probably a joke, but wasn't 100% sure :) Either way, I thought I'd clarify, as some people might have been interested to know what it actually was.

Nope

In Romania for this job you will get probably £1200 per month and spend 4-5 nights out

Around 17-18 on day shift

@@Raul689 nice rate 👍
