Thank you friend. Upload truck videos already

Haha i watched this video for about 5 mins and kept thinking you drive so similar to the binman i used to watch, like the hand movements and waving etc. Then checked your channel and realised it is you!! Glad to see you back on the road 😄

Last few times I drove local council Duscarts rounds are getting more properties added for the amount work as a driver loader doesn’t pay enough! They also use split backs so 1100-1300 bins + same amount food kaddies Gonna do my class 1

Much what I was experiencing, days getting longer and housing estates getting worse with crowding. What should be a simple job but lots of hurdles put in the way. Being a dual purpose role doesn't help either given the responsibility and hard work that goes in we are looked upon as scum.

Know you can’t voice anything whilst driving in certain circumstances but you should do a voiceover in the edit. Love your positivity and upbeat vibe! Great video nevertheless!

Love the new tourismo, feel like they have really nailed the interior desiging. Is that suspension on this thing a bit stiff? Cause it sounded like it when you went over those bumps

Interior is very smart on this model, being specified as a touring coach rather than a commercial one. Suspension makes lots of noise but the air suspended driver's seat irons it out. Haven't been a passenger so I can't comment but the saloon seating is decent and adjustable.

Bet its smoother than driving a Dennis bin wagon ( and it'll smell better too )

100% Admittedly the Dennis did have an Allison gearbox so the shifting was utterly seemless but the Tourismo is a good deal more comfortable & quieter.

is the coach work any harder than the bin wagon stuff? regardless your driving looks very comfortable. also by any chance have you driven any coaches with the volvo i-shift in em?

My coach work is somewhat brief so far, have to be conscious of overhangs and swing. Similar to HGV size concerns. I much prefer buses to HGV, always dif I was just kidding myself trying other things. I have driven an i-shift. Would've been 2016 approx, it was the "old" Volvo coaches on the X30 Stansted Airport that First Essex used to run. Pictures and fleet numbers are available on the internet. Driven a couple Volvo trucks too, decent auto boxes on them.

@@wheelerd02 those big front hanging mirrors look like fun, although id imagine greater safety benefits. having ridden a coach with the i-shift a few times now i must say it is quite a smooth ride? are there retarders built in with the break pedal on them because whenever they slow a very audible but satisfying high pitched noise comes from the back, although id imagine australian models differ from the UK in some aspects
