That increased my container-knowledge by 600%! I think Raul IS a teacher!

Haven't done containers for a few years Thanks for the refresher. It all came back thanks to this video.

Returning to trucking after a few years. Very helpful videos. Thank you. And you’re a good man too. Bonus.

I drive the straddle carriers that move the containers on and off your lorrys. I found it really interesting and helpful seeing things from your point of view.

I found this video whilst trying to explain to a new driver how to do containers. I got my license just before coving so I had no training at all. I wish I'd seen this when I first started! Only other thing I would add is that at the back of the trailer is a bar that should be extended when carrying 45 foot containers. I thank you very much for the video

Thank you - really enjoy these container vlogs.

Never knew there was so much to containers! Assumed they just got dumped on and taken off. Very interesting and well explained thx.

Great video, very informative especially for new drivers getting into container work.

Thank you! I’m abaout to go tomorrow for the first time on container job as a newly driver on hgv! Very helpful for me 🎉🎉🎉

Hi Raul. Thanks for your videos about how to do things with containers. I have just started on them this week and if it wasn't for your videos. I wouldn't of known what to do. Cheers mate

Great video very interesting as am thinking about agency work at the moment so your video are great thanks again.👍

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! 🤜🤛

It was very interesting to watch thanks for sharing!

Weird that I’m watching your video this morning where you do Eldapoint and then on to Seaforth dock because this morning I’m about to do it in reverse. I’m lifting off at Seaforth and then lifting on on at Eldapoint. Good video for anyone wondering how containers work. 👍

Excellent video Raul on container Demonstration and keep up the good work 💯 that you are doing 😊

Hi! Really enjoyed this one thanks for sharing!

Great video, thanks! Very insightful! By the way, I have noticed a MASSIVE improvement in your confidence and communication ability in comparison to some of your older videos. Really well done!

That moved surprisingly fast! Very informative video You have a new subscriber

Very useful video,it's my 2nd day on containers job and it helps me a lot,thanks.

Raul, thanks you, that was very informative. Hey, I bet the guy who tells all new drivers to go 2nd left at the docks is having a laugh, especially when people mention it on KZfaq! LOL

Another good vlog mate👍👍👍

brilliant mate...whatever they are paying you, its not enough

Good video mate very informative, cheers

Thank you very good vlog

Yes, the 45 has the locks in the same position like a 40 but the 45 container extends 2.5“ past the locks obviously. This means it pokes out at the end. To ensure the whole vehicle now is not too long, the container is moved forward a bit to be within the length limit. Fun fact there are 45 container with rounded ends to make sure you the tractor doesn’t hit the container in sharp bends.

Great Video 👍 mucho gusto lol. Hello form ElPolaco.

Love it lad at least you share your knowledge 😇

like ur truck and video very good rory Ireland 🇮🇪

I now feel like a container expert because of this youtube video- i watched a skydiving video before this and also feel like a pro at that too lol

Brilliant 👍 Wish I could get a start on boxes, I'd move to my brothers in Liverpool, then hope you'd take me on for training Boss Man 👍👍

Very insightful I'm thinking doing it for gold star in leeds

Good job man

👍👍👍

Good one learnt a lot

Brilliant tutorial. Always wondered how these work. Do u get much handballing work with containers?

Scania, feeling the power in that beast 💥💥💥😂😂😂

Thank you for that

Thanks Can I just add that when you go to collect your 45' foot container - even after you have correctly set up your skelly trailer - do make sure the when the crane is overhead lowering your container onto your skelly, make sure you aim your lorry (shunt) for the right holes because the chances are you have been used to loading 40 footers and it's easy to expect the 45 to slot onto the same twist locks which it doesn't.....

Hi Raul' great video mate, just one quick question, how do you go about getting your hands on a site card for the dock.

So you have to have it in position 3 for 45 foot. Position 3 for single 20 foot. Position 4 for 40 foot.

Thank you lad

thanks mate that's great, do you like container work ?

If you are dropping a box at the port and collecting another, do you have to re weigh after dropping first one off and before you collect the next ?

Great, how do you know the length of your container that you are picking up from the docks??

Thanks mate. Can you done all the ports instruction please? :)

👍

Thought you streched the back trailer crash bar when carrying the 45 ft .Did a week on containers nice refresher.

Brilliant videos, keep them coming 👍

Better explanation than I did it mate, great video 👍🏼

can hauling at at it's best my grandpa used to pull container

Quick question why do you pull away before putting twist locks into locking position after having container loaded ??

Hi Raul great video, I really like container videos for some reason. Do you think there is good money to be made as an owner driver on containers? If I had my own Operators License and had my transport managers qualification. Thinking £16k to 20k to buy a unit with around 350K miles on it (Range T, Actros, XF etc). Hire a skelly trailer for £100ish a week. I have looked a lot online and it's mixed comments, the ones that are negative seem to be owner operators so putting a payed driver in the truck and they don't actually own it as it's on lease! I reckon if a genuine owner driver who owns the unit and drives it it may be worthwhile? Interested to know your thoughts as you have run your own trucks before I gather.

This is very helpful thanks Raul. To confirm, is it postion 3 for a full 20ft, postion 4 for a empty 20ft and postion 4 for full/empty 40ft? Thanks

Hi Raul,i am 70 yrs old i am from Liverpool L.F.C fan , OK no crap from you Mancs or Cockneys 😁.I have worked out of Seaforth/Felixtowe ports back in 1975 to can't remember no i don't have dementure i still got my class 1 H.G.V licence YEA 😜.Unfortunatley disclamers are needed not because of you'r knowlege but because of the minority of dickheads out there that can't understand commonsense.YOU matey amongst a few other H.G.V driver youtubers are the best info drivers i have ever come across ,and at my age and experience of driving and still can do the job i think i can say to all newbies this man Raul is spot-on with knowledge.👌

SAFE ROAD!

Yes the question below how do you know the length of the trailer great video thanks

Don't know how you do it Raul I could hardly keep up

What about 30ft container?

I have never understood why you cant run laden with the trailer shortened?? it takes up less room on the road and is easier to get round corners!

even after 13 years of driving these road hogs , companies still say 'do you have experience in containers'? ,, like it some sort mystery it cant be learned in a few hours 👀

In north America there ar 53ft boxs

Trailers with small tyres 2x2x2 and will be not soo higher

Paswoord with finger print

rigids are easy to drive but loading and unloading is shit

Great vlog mate as always........stay safe
