In Australia we in the supermarkets actually unload the trucks whilst the driver gets a little break and go to the next store. We pull out both the pallets and cages and even put the rubbish in the truck for the driver.

Ok, I'm not a truck driver but seeing you doing that very tight turn at your first stop is precisely why I admire you guys (and ladies) so much. Amazing skills! 🌟

As someon who works in a store i do my best to get the trucker on their way helping with unloading or bringing water or a snack

In this day and age wouldn't you think the stores are expecting a delivery tidy the yard and stop vehicles parking in delivery yards.

I’m with you on the 4 on 4 off, been doing it 2 year now and would never go back to Mon-Fri. Plus book a block of 4 days off and you get 12👍👌

Nice driving in tight spots mate, You've got great patience 👏

Doing god's work. I'd find those tight yards, narrow streets way to stressful. Thank you and every one else who does this.

You seem like a really nice guy, just came across your channel today so subbed ya!.... Im also a lorry driver here in the UK so I feel your pain with tight spots haha

It can be very difficult in winter or night deliveries mate as some of the yards lighting is very bad hard to see at times

Thanks again for the video and all your hard work 😊

Nice one, but think I will stick to my tanker work. Connect flex start compressor, open valves, make a cup of tea......

I've been in haulage for 25 years! I've done most things except continental! I have been delivering for a well known store for about 5 years! It's so easy! It helps that the planners know about road closures and plan accordingly! All routes are risk assested! Different drops may require different trailers! I get £24 an hour, so any car holding me up due to poor parking is no problem! I pull double deck trailers, when a road is closed and you don't know about it, I do tend to sweat a bit finding a route ! I love my job and thank God I failed school!

Much respect to you raul..i am not a truck driver and watching this i can see why ....thank you.

Shows the nightmare of store deliveries exactly how it is… horrendous work but great vids and content

Nicely done in both these yards- there’s always some van parked that you can never get moved when you need it. I’ve only ever done store work since I got my Class1- they use rigid vehicles for really tight stores, 10m or 12m for the ones that are restricTEd on SpaCe and then 13m single or dOuble deck for the larger ones. Never quite know what you’re going to be driving next- wish I could vlog it sometime but I don’t think it’s permitted.

Three 10 foot containers and a hiab that's what this job needs. I've been driving for Travis Perkins for 6 months now and I think EVERYTHING needs a hiab

I think that yard you went in to at 07:50 id have said balls to that I’m going to hook a left here and reverse in !

At Asda the warehouse colleague usually tips the deliveries, the drivers aren't technically allowed to help! All the drivers have to do is back the lorry onto the scissor lift and then put the cages/pallets onto the scissor lift. The warehouse colleague does the rest!

I work with cages and actually enjoy the physical bits otherwise I'd be the size of a house. We use 18T rigids as well which are sometimes worse in the tight yards as they don't bend. ( well not on purpose😀)

I spy the Monster sticker. I get screamed at in work for leaving them everywhere 😂 Currently waiting for the DVLA to send back my license so I can step up from a little van to a big lorry. They've had it four months now because I have high blood pressure it's taking so long! Hopefully I'll be joining you on the road soon enough. Love your attitude. Can tell sometimes your stress levels are getting high but you remain calm and take things slow. Love it. You're a great driver!

i been doing truck store deliveries for iceland for a few year now ... when its a new store i never done before, i would look at google earth maps so i know what to expect when i get to the store. its a hard job, some days doing 2 trailors full of food to multiple stores

I work for the Range and most stores have a forklift so it's easy days most of the time lol. Also 4 on 4 off is amazing! I usually do a day overtime and have 3 days off but it's still really nice! Very nice job on that 18 point turn xD

Fantastic vlog as always Raul, thank you very much!!! 👌I hope you & the family are really well mate 🙏 Take care 🙏

Looks hard graft that! nice workout mentally and physically!!

Always fun and games with Arra Distribution

nice 1 raul sod that 4 a job along time a go i pulled single axle trailers doing store work long b4 sterring back axles had been thought of im glad im on bulk tipper and never go near towns let alone in the centre

Beautifully driven....dont know how you keep so calm...id be a nervous wreck...lol

Good stuff mate. Renewing my HGV

I used to be a store distribution driver. Loved my fullsize liftgate so i could take 3 pallets wide or 3 pallet sized cages

I'd prefer cages because I'm not very strong haha, my company use euro sized pallets so I can just about push a full one around. UK size would be too heavy for me. Enjoy your vidoes! Keep on rolling. P.s Yes ASDA do help drivers to tip used to work in one years ago.

Hi mate ive done store deliveries before like that.its disgraceful these stores expect Artic in some them stores .been in few in 40ft trailer and talk about tight.and bins rubbish everywhere. Dont care about the drivers

Yes you can do a 180 there in Preston. At least if that van isn't there. That's where we deliver to Maccy D's.

I can say I'll never do store deliveries.

I did deliver floors on pallets like 2.40m wide and each pallet at 1 ton that was fun, down a super tight road without a way to turn around at the construction site.

nicely done Raul, you make it look easy, I do work for Amazon , just started a week ago and having all the space in the world in their yard is still hard for me a beginner, cant imagine trying to manouvre around those small yard, i think i will never do store deliveries haha

TK MAXX guy making things up as he goes, he could also do with a hi viz. Should be one truck in the yard at a time. Plenty of room on the left to wait and allow trucks coming out past.

I did store deliveries for 22 yrs,, you get use to it,,and the awkward stores are just part of the job.. Actually the last trucking job I did was for Poundland,,(not a pleasant experience) I worked for Morrison's too..They where easy tips but not particularly good to work for... Best company was Safeways ,no question...

10:37 love how the women just stands there rather then nip over a guide you very well done by yourself 😂

The only time you tip a Morrisons load is if you have a taillift, but then their policy is you just press the buttons and the store staff do the actual grunt work. I prefer doing it myself because then you can work at your own pace rather than being stuck waiting on someone slow

And i usually scope out new stores or locations on google maps to gauge where I am going for deliveries

Thanks for this... very insightful for me. Just passed C&E last week and was wondering about store deliveries... after watching this I'll leave well alone until I nail the reversing malarkey 😂 excellent to see the reality of day to day 👍

Morrisons the staff tip you , driver stays in the cab

We have all been there .companies pile crappie up and you can't turn around

"They sent out DAF van.....? For a man?" LMaooooo

Did you say you went to Bury Market? I've driven a rigid around the yard just off Haymarket St myself, I was delivering to Herons not Poundland though lol - the parking yard can be difficult at times 😂

I just put in my application for the provisional HGV license

It think morrisons will be the easiest store delivery there is... These are very small yards, but the baby trailer does help a lot :)

Hello Rau Nice To See You

I did Lidl store deliveries and it wasn't all that bad when you got used to it but it was Lidl Stacking. Piss Poor stacking and wrapping. So when we get to the store most pallets tipped over due to this. And all the stores had tilted bays so most of them didn't even tip over from the driving it was the offload.

Tipping the trays over is the best one 😂 keep foot on bottom 👍

See? They have these service yards built and then they cram them full of shit, which makes it very difficult for us to spin around. Also, I drive for ASDA on the refrigerated trailers, and you do get help to tip from store staff, but not all the time. But a majority of the stores have a cage lift that holds 9 cages, so you can get unloaded quite quickly.

You like 4 on 4 off, when most of us do 5 on 2 off for 45 years, no sh1t! lol

I love this guy so much he is super gorgeous handsome too

Hey I like your channel. I was just getting ready to start putting up content again and I found your channel because I wanted to see what the other guys were doing and I have been planning on putting a GoPro on my helmet. I'm going to be delivering something a little bit different. Going to be delivering what we call in North America sod SOD. Delivering basically grass for people to plant where the grass is already grown. It's palletized usually or in big rolls and we carry a forklift on the trailer and we call that a piggyback forklift. We pick that up at different farms around North Carolina and deliver it to different construction sites and homeowners etc and stores. So anyway, I'm going to be doing what you're doing over here in America. All the other trucking channels are either duct bill hats and gold chains or old men talking for hours at a time now. I'm no youngster but I don't want to be the guy that talks your ear off at the truck. Stop either. We certainly don't need to go to KZfaq for that. You need to be innovating or informing or entertaining and your channel does all those and I'm hoping mine's going to do the same thing over here and maybe we could collab? Or maybe we could do a live stream together. I like to do live streams where I provide the news of trucking and maybe you could provide the news trucking from the Euro perspective and I could provide it from the North American perspective. I think that'd be really cool

If the store has not got a place to turn around in a lorry then no delivery lol. I believe that in the near future everything will be automated.

Yeay new truck 😁

At ASDA the driver tips the load but there are people there to help most of the time

I did the milk for a while,..if a tett (cage) goes over you just get out of the way !,..I guess that steering rear axle must help a lot,never driven one !

was that a rear steer trailer too ? that must make like easy . Im not allowed to say who I work for but they mainly sell frozen food and the shops are a night mare and there's us in full length trailers manoeuvring around a carpark lol

WoW, they really don't put a lot of thought into the designs do they, these places are a nightmare.

Morrisons store colleges tip Morrisons wagons but not other wagons i.e clipper milk or bunzil

Hahaha i really want to get a four on four off job, but most off then are shit jobs!!! Gonna stick with parcels!!! Asda you tip yourself to the back of the trailer, from there is the store staff problem and you have an electric pump truck with you!

i work for an agency doing home bargain work, some of them yards are tight like there one in farnsworth its a small yard you get to turn around, with an urban then a blind side reverse, im very new to it so i just gotta take my time, also what are u filming with. i was thinking of uploading on here

Was a good job. Perfect parked. Bro. I'm looking to buy the camera like yours. Can you help me with the where you bought please

hi love the videos Chorley is my home town

I wanted to see how that TK Maxx truck got turned around. You barely made it with the urban. I can safely say I will never get involved in store delivery. More than happy with my motorway DC to DC work.

I hate 4 on 4 off shift patterns as it makes it harder to make plans and every week you're working different days. I prefer knowing what days I'll be working instead of calculating whether or not I'll be working a specific day in x amount of weeks, just overcomplicates things to me.

I done poundland class 2 out of Harlow it wasn't for me I'm doing full time for a bread company now early mornings but much easier.

Great vlog Raul, i hate those tight yards. Are you still working for an agency?

Raul I don't believe it, daf aid got you going without a mention of a recovery truck that has got to be a first

Good luck decent bunch at Wigan rdc better than Springvale shite

Can anyone give me some advice iv passed my class 2 in may but struggling to get work, iv tried agency all I’m getting back is you got no experience. If no one gives you a chance how do I get the experience. It’s madness

Those urban trailers turn so fast. Hate them.

Me being American, I find a store named "Poundland" extremely hilarious 😂😂. I get it though, Dollarland, still funny. Those store deliveries are insanely tight. I couldn't do it. I'd lose my mind lol

Why don't the stores put up signs telling which bay is for which store? How stupid is that?

Just passed my test and wondered what sat nav you use ?

You sound a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger with some Words

Typical, they're full time drivers don't want that drop . Had one like that and there was loads of illegal cars parked , I hit one !

10:10 Who put that effin skip there.

ASDA warehouse colleague help you tip your load

does you having to wait for recovery change how much you get paid? do you get paid for the time u waited?

2+ hours for someone to turn up with a set of jump leads, my god...

Do cage work, it it’s going over. Just get out of way and let it go.

That’s ridiculous to put an artic in those places. Be fine for a class 2, just shows the people working out your routes are absolute idiots with no bloody clue!

Ive been driving trucks for 10 years get over ya self its a job so what its what we do 🤔

Are you working for arra direct or just ltd

Wuuuau

Maybe if you think are that good a driver you would know that the sat nav should be in the bottom right of your windscreen…maybe you should think before you post your’good’work..just a thought…

Store delivery s can be s bitch !!! Good work bro

This guy makes truck driving so sexy and he super gorgeous handsome man too

Why are you doing store deliveries in a MAN?? Literally the worst truck ever to do store deliveries in!🤦‍♂️ That truck has the turning circle of the moon!!🤣 At 16:45 minutes, when the van was parked in your away, I could spin a 13 metre standard trailer in there, without having to shunt. In my normal Mercedes 2 axle unit. Urban trailers are ok, but they are pretty useless if you have an enormous unit! Some of these “planners” and “risk assessors” doing all the maps are so terrible at their job, it’s unreal!

You should have been able to turn that around if you repositioned yourself properly.
