I remember my first week tramping, I took too much and not enough. I've got what I need to rock up to the rig with on Monday down to an art now though.

Done day work for 7 years and I start tramping on the 31st July because I've always fancied giving it a go. Nervous but also excited about getting my own truck and making it a proper home away from home.

Love your honesty, someone like me looking at this world it is really helpful to see the vlogs from current truck drivers 👍

Hey Billy just found your channel, good work my friend . Myself, I am over 20 years experienced HGV class 1 driver. Please, never ever forget to take your time, take as long as you like to be safe . Look after other road users and take care of your kit .Don't get cocky no matter how experienced you get and keep a clean licence. Good luck my friend.

All the best Billy, you've smashed it! It's not easy as a beginner tramper that's for sure! All the best and keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Very enjoyable video buddy I'm looking into doing my hgv too and getting into the trucking industry your videos are helping keep it up and stay safe 👍

Well done Billy keep it up, I done the skills boot camp also, got a shunter job with the company I worked in warehouse 10 years for. Been doing it 2 months now and enjoying it. Go out on the road sometimes. Like you say it's not easy in the beginning but practice, practice, practice hey. Well done on completing your 1st week tramping.

great job billy...congratulations for the new job

Good luck mate 👍

Hey Billy great video👍👍Starting my HGV training in the new year, so hearing what you have to say about the industry and how your doing is really helpful 👍

Just found your channel mate ,I've only had my class 1 for 6 weeks now and it's very daunting going into driving full time as I was in my previous job for 30yr but hopefully I'll get there lol . Ps good luck mate and hope it works out for us both 😂😂😂.

enjoyed watching this m8

Great video as always billy. Your must be local to me 😂. Don’t we love that 249 in rush hour. Got my theory and hazard on Friday. You must be working out of queenborough 😊

Only just come across your channel looks a good watch so far. You asked were you were at about 14:30 into the video, I'm guessing you'd just come off or crossed the M20 and heading up the hill on the A249 towards Sittingbourne. I've stopped on that stretch of the road before and it was a sod to get going again as was fairly heavy at the time.

Good job you done a u turn or even got the chance to do a u turn before low bridge ahead. You could easily get stuck to turn around if it was a narrow road and mounting traffic behind you.

Hi buddy what a top vlog love watching u who do I drive for mate

On the road heading either into Gloucestershire

Tramping aint for everyone as they say its a way of life is Tramping

So you're in the truck driving all day then when you finish you stay in the truck all night? So you pay for a house or apartment you don't live in? Or just live in the lorry? Thanks for posting

What’s the money like thinking of doing it myself. Is it good money

I'm about to go for my licence and was looking to get into this. Is there any advise you could give me before I embark on my venture...should I get experience on day work first or ?? Any advise would be appreciated

Intrigued by this Billy its something iv always fancied doing but im not sure if the arse has fell out of the industry with the influx of new drivers at the moment? what sort of pay are you getting for tramping for instance? what hours in the day are you doing? - currently work in construction doing steel fixing i earn around £20/£22 an hour leave the house at 6am start work 7.30am to 5pm have two 30 minute breaks (one unpaid) and then get home about 6-6.30pm depending on traffic so out of the house for 12-13 hours a day and get paid for 9 hours, its self employed so no PAYE such as holidays or bank holiday pay etc although you do get a tax rebate in april each year which amounts to around £3500. Im 37 now and im wondering if its time to have a change, work outdoors so you get soaked during winter or freezing cold and in summer you roast alive in the heat and its HARD graft carrying heavy steel about all day back bent etc absolutely cream crackered at the end of the day/week.

well done mate how walking floor working?

Is 8/900 a week after tax achievable whilst tramping? Thinking of getting my class 1. Any advice would be brill, cheers mate

What are you navigating with Billy?

What's the pay like? I'm beginning the process of getting my C1 license

Good luck but it's not worth the money you can't buy back time and you spend alot of time away from family and friends it's not a good life
