I like the tour of London via a Tow truck, but unfortunately the driver moves his head a bit much causing some 'Motion Sickness' and "Disorientation'.. which is a hard thing to NOT do when your towing this kind of Large Bus thru London England Traffic.. WELL DONE to the Driver btw..(retired West Canada Mountain Trucker here)

Good luck Ben.

Mum & Dad looking down on you guys and smiling Steve x 👍🏻

big respect to you

U like girl wear gloves

Wow, that must be a hard job to drive such a long truck+bus in London. 🫣🫣

Good

Absolute professional

Once every few months we have someone who drives a truck similar to yours drop one of our artic lorries back after it breaks down. The amount of skill involved to drive such a huge truck.. with an equally sized machine on the back of it as wel!!! so much respect for you guys, hope you are paid well for your work.

Love how chilled you are.

First time watching, and I have to say, I really enjoyed this video. I gave up driving last year on my 70th birthday, I miss it but driving isn't like it was. Watching you going through London in that enormous vehicle, towing another enormous vehicle is very brave. Keep up the good work 🙄🙄🙄

Is that you parked in layby in Staines bypass by any chance?

Really got into these videos. Does your truck have extra air tanks to provide air via the cables to the towed truck and trailer

great video to wake up with just before i drive a brand new tri-axle to lindon Victoria myself on the national express 444. I hope I will have the pleasure to spot you one of these days. i take a guess you went through greenline next to where the oxford tube parks to spin round

Thank you Steve Another great video I haven't driven on a smart motorway.But those 2 cars that were in that lane.I hope they get a ticket.😊 Have a safe week 😊

Great video again Steve . Just shows the insane way of getting 4 Lanes of traffic borne out by 2 vehicles going against the gantry lights . Stay safe and healthy ..

Im guessing that was a rubbish job 😁

Did not realise these are 14.5 m long :o

Driving a bus around central London would be a challenge. Recovering and then towing one is next level. To then add commentary and pictures...well. I just take my hat off to you - to do all of that in such a calm, methodical and stress free manner is hugely impressive. Thank you! (p.s. is there a chip in your windscreen?)

Heavy Recovery with the big gun's steve great old video form 2 year;s a go's it is still good to wacth in 2024

Always amazes me how a thin steel cable can pull such a lot of weight.

Great skills and mechanical knowledge, a professional at work. I cannot imagine what it would be like doing this on a bad winters day, freezing rain battering down, somewhere exposed.

It's like a bin wagon chassis 26 ton .keep up your good work M8 👍

You passed 500 metres from where I used to live when you turned right off the A 40. I moved out of that area 30 years ago but still drove 44 tonners out of Park Royale until I emigrated in 2005. It's amazing how little yet how much it's changed. I notice Sadiq Khan has screwed everything up...

Aha! Parking on double yellow line is ticketable offence .....hmmmm

Heavy recovery steve make new video you tube😊

Can someone tell me why its reffered to as a Susie or whatever he was saying for the yellow line to trailer ?

I am so glad I do not ever have to go to London . Some real bellends there .

So much skill 👌

Any chance you can get info or post a video of the trailer lights reel that’s mounted on the back that’s like your air reel

Well done. Very difficult. NZ

I enjoyed riding along with you on this one - nice and steady = no stress or trauma - I used to drive regularly in London in a car on business and learnt that if I drive 3 mph slower than everyone else I get the time to pick my lane and didn't need to compete for space - that was in the late 80's up to the early 2000's mind you and a lot has changed for the worse in terms of road layouts and junctions since then such that its open warfare now

Hi Steve, ballpark figure how can a hg recovery driver earn a year? One man band owning his own truck vs driving for a company?

Nice to see you back Steve. A couple of complete idiots ignoring the red 'X', I don't think you get enough danger money for motorway recoveries. And don't get me started on Smart Motorways! Great job, thanks for sharing.

Great to see another of your very informative videos Steve; those scaffolding bungees are so very useful.

Why do people unhitch, drive off and abandon trailers? Why do you want the one axel lifted? Why do you leave the stand down? Why do these people want a stripped out abandoned trailer?

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I live in dover and love seeing the wreckers pulling up jubilee way A2. Some sound out this F16 yesterday

good to meet you steve when you dropped of a recovery at our truck dealers ( ROSSETTS ) in worthing a few weeks back !

I thought driving buses in traffic was tough and I am a bus driver myself, but you have it tougher. Hats off to you mate.

Hi Steve. Glad to see another one. Another brilliant video. You do get in some situations though🤣

Why can they not just pull the trailer with another tractor unit to get the deliveries done? Why unload it all?

Drive the vehicle, sod the video!

I find it amazing anyone would complain about being towed. Machines break! We all know that. Even the most carefully looked after....

@Heavy Recovery Steve I so admire your bravery !!!!! And i salute 🫡you for keeping us ALL safe , how you keep focused !!!🫣 Placing all ur equipment up n stuff !!! Ur knowledge on the different trucks and the drive shafts ! Q, how comes u didnt take out the one on the other side to also ? And what happens IF it is on the live lane side, wud u get a labe closed to remove it ? I mean like do other trucks have em in the other side to at all ????? them air lines wrapping round the cab , crazy that , Well cool vid , really interesting i subbed up , as i watched 👀 Really good stuff , Take very great care SIR RESPECT 🙏

I am in Normandy for the 80 anniversary of d day

Hey Steve, outta curiosity what manufacture/spec is the wrecker body on that truck of yours, and heck, whats the chassis platform too? I`m a nerd and get off at specifications and such.

I can well imagine you have a lot of dickheads to contend with , and people on the phone ! Nice drive ..

Do you not have breakaway chains from your truck rear , either side of the boom to the front of the coach ? I know you chained the front axle !

Hi Steve, great video again, love your humor, i've asked it also with a previous video, are you familiar with the VDZ System for truck towing? It's a in NL developed system which makes towing a lot easier
