thanks for your video ,I found it very interesting how it all works ,I live in Western Australia and there is lots of box trucks on the road here as well, have never done any of it myself , I pull a 42ft walking floor trailer. self load with front end loader using high lift bucket carting green waste and mulch. I start work at 0500 hrs and finish time is usually around 1730 hrs but traffic can sometimes add another hour at the end of the day and a 30 minute drive home in the car at the end of the day.

Hi Raul,i said in an earlier vlog i had an experience at Seaforth 1980s here goes.The dockers were on work to rule a straggler was loading me a loaded box that i had to deliver.Box was 1 foot from landing on skell trailer and the siren went for lunch ,the box stopped 1 foot in air.The driver came down ladder and i said to him aye aye lad why didn't you drop box i am going to be late for delivery now.Guess what he said TOUGH SHIT working to rule.A couple weeks later i was driving along old dock road to Seaforth 7am summertime but it was pissing down rain and the road was flooded alongside kerb.I saw walking along close to a large puddle same driver "Bastard " GUESS what " YESSSS " i drove straight through puddle " PISSED ALL OVER HIM " YEEAA ". 🤣🤣😂😂👌😁😁He saw me in Seaforth and said you soaked me you fff bbb ccc ???? on dock road.Guess what i said to him " TOUGH SHIT " . True happening.

First one is down load the garmin smart phone link app and you can go on Google maps and share your location to ur sat nav👍This only works for samsung tho. Second tip is go into ur settings on sat nav and click map & vehicle, map & layers then tick map log. This will show a thin blue line on ur route and can help you get back from difficult routes when ur sat nav is saying go a different way. follow the blue line
