Thank you, I make films that I would like to watch and that are a honest reflection of our job, if they’re good enough there is no need for drama or click bait I enjoy responding to the comments but more importantly, I’m made up if a colleague, like yourself, has found a film useful

I don’t mind them really, it’s what’s on the trailer and how it’s been done is more important to me, anyone can polish the shiny bit 🤟 Thank you for subscribing

I don’t mind the guys and girls having fun showing off, I just wonder if they’ll stick around and learn to actually enjoy the job…🤙

Thank you, trying to figure out ‘a day in the life…’ 🤟

@@Stillgotallmyfingers good man hope your well 👍👍

I’m feeling a lot better, thank you 🙏

Thank you, there’s a positive culture in our Plant Yard and we encourage each other to do the work the right way, not the easy way 🤟

Thank you Dave, a tough but rewarding day for all concerned 🤟

Taking those bits up to Ashville’s job, I saw you, I hope I got you back 🤟

I don’t mind it really, I’d just like them to enjoy the job not just the image We actually have some excellent young drivers in the Plant Yard, I just try to encourage the importance of the muddy bit on the back 😉

Thank you Mike, from another Filmmaker that’s a huge compliment 👏👏👏

Thank you John, I was lucky to start in a world of Shap men, as I’m sure you’ll well know you couldn’t blag or polish your way to the Jungle 🤟

Thank you Ash, one job at a time 🤟

@@Stillgotallmyfingers got to say personally what's happened to the old attachable neck low loaders think machines look better on them mate

⁠We had one, it was a great trailer but too slow and impractical for modern building sites, it’s very rare to find enough space to come off the side too and you’ve got to remain STGO so you can’t collect small plant on the way home so trailers like mine are the modern compromise 🤟

@@Stillgotallmyfingers always thought a machine looked more comfortable on them Alex plus still think the Scania looks better with full aero Kik like the blackledge Scania keep up the good work mate

Thank you, I like the proper Low-Loader trailers too, if you get to see last week’s Trucking Heavy they can still be a pain I didn’t think I’d like mine without the ADK but it’s really grown on me but I hear what you’ve saying 🤟

Thank you Ben, feeling better now have a good week too 🤟

Thank you, I’ve seen you on the road, I’m glad you can see what I’m saying 🤟

@@Stillgotallmyfingers the reason I don’t watch these vlogs other drivers do is because of the aforementioned ‘oh god, what will I do’ etc, just get the job done, we’ve all done it long enough, also loved thw fact you name dropped Tim! Can’t stand the fella. I am weak to a bit of polish me sen but definitely agree about the theatrics and click bait, solid stuff mate, hope to see you out there 👍🏻

@@RogalShaun Absolutely nothing wrong in taking care and pride in your work & equipment but we both know this job takes more than a polishing cloth As for our Social Media ‘Stars’ well, I’ll still be doing the job I love when they’ve all gone, so it’s up to them… Thanks for getting in touch, it’s appreciated 🤙

Thank you 🙏 I will do 🙏

That’s great, thank you for subscribing 🤟

I absolutely agree, we even have two company vehicles that are customised and look hugely impressive My point is that there is far more to the Industry than looking good at a Truck Show I’m more impressed with the driver who can keep his or her head reversing down a backstreet in Rochdale than the one being a middle lane hero past Tebay 🤟 Thank you for comment, it’s greatly appreciated 🙏

Thank you Doug 🤟

It’s okay to to take pride in your work but every aspect of the job not just the easy to polish bits, you did right to give him a flea in his ear 🤟

He’s an important Black Hat, came up through the ranks and a top bloke 🤟

Thank you, I will 🤟

That’s great Lewis, I’m so glad that you enjoy my films, thank you 🙏

…because if you can’t you just become another problem 🤟 Thank you for seeing where I’m coming from 🙏

Thank you Keith, it’s my partner who’s managed to knock a bit of sense in me…🤟

I had a look at one of Merv’s films, very good, then I saw him on the M6 this morning (he won’t know who I am 🙂) 🤟

Nice to hear from you Dave, it’s a Nooteboom OSD and a very useful piece of kit 🤟

Thank you, that’s much appreciated 🤙

That’s great, Thank you for watching 🙏 there’s a new episode each weekend (usually Sunday morning, sometimes earlier) 🤟

We’re both coming too (we must’ve picked a bug up in Rome) thank you 🙏

I hear what you’re saying I was spotting for the Op on the 3CX and the other driver actually resumed what he was doing when he decided it was safe to do so, he had moved away from the work area when we started to load If I thought that there was any risk, I would of stopped the load and ask the other driver to move but we really were just fine tuning the siting of the machine I appreciate your comment and I’m more than happy to hear if somebody thinks I might of done something wrong, thank you 🙏

Thank you Steve, much appreciated 🤟

That’s great, thank you Mick 🤟

Absolutely, if the move is within the scope of STGO a Movement Order is required, Lancashire will accept 48 hours notice but each individual authority is different It’s a tricky job for our Plant Managers to meet our customers requirements and remain within the scope of the Law The design of my truck and trailer combination will allow me to operate up to 100 tonnes GVW although in practice we remain under 80 tonnes The advantage of the design is that I can still move smaller plant legally, some combinations must remain in STGO and cannot move smaller machinery I hope this helps, thank you for your question 🤟

Had 3 t cabs brand new. Had writken road planers .08m 1m all the way up to 2m 2,1 2,2m reason being belive this my aunty married a bloke from crh plant who had road planers with teased my grandad into getting some my aunty would drive under the road planer along with the rest of our family I've been to Germany vwitken and hamm and vogle group even get this Alex gave him a check for million pound and he said this is they had in the UK and it was parked and left nobody had the confidence and my grandad said to me jump up there. They come out and gave me loads of toys that were only to be described as unbeliavle I sat in the t cab so bloody proud we had one on the back we would come out from a service station and be like mesmerised it was even true would you happen to know the 14 fuse in the old scania ??? 👍 I'm going to some how send you some photos for you to enjoy as I know you will. Many thanks Alex means allot

That’s incredible Lewis, I’m sure you know but CRH have become part of FoxGroup and are a hugely important part of the business 🤟

@Stillgotallmyfingers this was hi alex yea we never was into anything other then jcbs. We worked alongside crh when we went up saltash exeter earea ...he married my aunty and we bought our first one.. thats where we gained our knowledge yea I agree mate. 100 percent all I'm saying is we had gained our knowledge of the bloke who worked for the company this would have been almost like 1990 maybe Alex. Jet textlaw had taken our contract we had for over 55 years as new employment went shell we say not for local people. I have a yard here in truro who has a crh office site cabin. It's almost a incredibly small world mate.. sorry to seem here there and everywhere but it's hard to explain but the photos speak a thousand words so I will try to send over a photo many thanks Alex once again.

@@LewisHarvey-de7zvNo worries, it’s interesting Lewis, I hope I get a move down there it would be nice to see you and the yard 🤟

Thank you for your comment I don’t feel that I’m particularly detrimental to Trucker Tim’s style of Social Media content, rather explaining why my considerably smaller and less mainstream content is different… I wholeheartedly agree that we should live and let live and I appreciate you stepping up to defend, what is after all, something of a Social Media phenomenon I welcome all reasonable opinions, not just the ones that agree with me, thanks again 🤟

Thank you, I try to choose music that matches my mood at that time of the week, I prefer thoughtful rather than sad but there’s some upbeat tunes too 😉 I’m glad you like my films, thank you 🙏

That’s a great idea, I’d love to get one of my old truck but I’ve no clue where to start… 🤟

Good for you, aim for the kind of work you would like to do and stick with it, we have had some excellent young drivers in the Plant Yard 🤟 Aptitude can be as useful as experience, Good luck 🤟

Hahaha, brilliant 🤟 I wondered why my lorry was so clean when I got back…😉

I’m really sorry Sammy but there’s no way I can discuss our pricing structure, I would be fired on the spot I’ve talked to friends and acquaintances who run their own Low Loaders about the rates for moving third party plant many times… The answer is always the same, the rates are awful considering the wear and tear on your equipment, especially your (incredibly expensive) trailer It’s not impossible to establish yourself but your going to need pretty deep pockets and a lot of contacts in the Industry I wish you all the best it’s a hugely rewarding journey 🤟

Appreciate that mate. Just in talks with few truck manufacturers at the moment as trying to start a haulage company
