You missed the Road part out. We don't have tarmac either. also you might want to google the meaning of Legend, beside that its just a brand name like the band the killers, (here's a secret, They don't actually kill)

Trucker Jay In the UK I wouldn’t be able to show any Damage like that on my videos or the company would have a canary! I posted a pic once of my front grill only after another truck hit me and I was told to take it down. I got fed up of them calling me every other day saying some gypsy or cyclist was on again complaining so I just packed it in for now 😄😄🍺🍺🍺

We've all had it Jay. I almost hit a digger bucket ages ago in exactly the same place where you were - it was a rusty digger bucket, covered in mud on muddy ground. Luckily somebody shouted "stop" before I hit it. Drive powder tanks, hit a fence once in the dark reversing into a tight site, knew I was close, just didn't think I was that close. Heard the awful scrape sound and stopped, but had already gone 10" down the side of the trailer. Took the paint off and went over a weld line. It still looked fine (aside from the paint taken off) but the company didn't want me to deliver it because we pressurise the tank when delivering. The people who's site it was came out after I told them and then put all the flood lights on. Like, thanks. Could've done that 5 minutes ago. We've all done things like that though, you just can't see right in that corner. The mirrors are good, but they're not that good to see a small detail like that. That yard has way too much stuff in it, though.

Sorry that happened to you. Don't beat yourself up, the yard was at fault all their goods stacked on the access and all over the place, looked a mess. I have noticed several times how drivers expected to work miracles in getting their trucks into impossible locations for drop offs and pick ups. Thanks for the out of cab working shots, glad you sounding more cheerful at end.

You shouldn't blame yourself Jay,that really was a disgusting yard.I would have sacked the yard manager for letting it get that bad.Glad you were okay though, that's the main thing, these things happen mate.It disgusting that you couldn't even pick something up from the garage shop,surely it would have been okay even to let one person in at a time.So proud of all the truckers still keeping this country supplied,well done mate.Stay safe & keep on truckin'.

I was in a builders merchants yard the other day that likes to put all the stuff for their own deliveries out in the yard and expect you to manoeuvre around it all to get into the bay to tip. I got the back end in the bay and was watching the front bumper as it brushed the last aggregate bag when the there was a cracking sound. Got out and it would seem the handle/strap got caught round the headlamp guard and snapped it, although I couldn't find any plastic fragments anywhere. 🤔

The term "Duck" comes from the Anglo-Saxon "Ducas" which means "Duke". Its a term of endearment. I guess it would seem weird to people outside of Stoke, I grew up with it so I dont know any different.

@sincerelyinsincere9268 4 жыл бұрын

I'll say upfront I'm not a trucker or the owner of a yard. However, although I appreciate some yards won't have acres of space to play with, surely it would make sense for them to have painted lines for drivers to stay within? And the space within the lines should be sufficient for drivers to manoeuvre their vehicle without it getting as tight as that. It would also serve as an indicator for yard staff as to where they can (and can't) leave pallets etc.

An inverter is a great idea. I had one but sharing a truck so it was just the two of us. I've tried using it now but it is a pain and so it just stays at home as I never know what I'm getting each day. It was nice knowing I'd be driving the same truck everyday but times change. We lost the contract for the work.
