Back on container work

After about 1 week since i have been banned from the last company, I got an offer to do some container work around Liverpool.
Container jobs are usually easy and straightforward, with the odd exception where the products are not on pallets, then it is a lot of waiting around. My longest ever tip was around 8 hours, just crazy.
In general, container work is an easy and clean jobs, where the average shift is around 10h.
As a truck driver, you have to find the best job that suits you, and even that this job is very easy, it's not always the best paid.
This is my work in the UK as a truck driver.
Thank you all patreons and channel supporters

    Raul please make more videos! I'm a doctor, and am very disconnected from trucks, but these videos give me a great view into your life and world. I love your format and you have a very relaxing voice. I'm not sure where you are from exactly, but you remind me so much of my best friend from Poland. Keep making these videos, and I promise you, you will become big! Much love!

    Hey Raul, First of all, I want to say how incredible it is to see someone like you sharing their real-life experiences as a truck driver through vlogs. Your dedication to showcasing the reality of the job is commendable, and it's evident that you have a genuine passion for what you do. It's unfortunate that some companies might not appreciate the transparency you bring to the industry, but your viewers and fellow truckers truly value the insights you provide. Your vlogs shed light on the challenges and joys of being a truck driver, and that authenticity is what sets you apart from others. Remember, the best content comes from being real and unfiltered. Your viewers tune in because they want to see the true essence of trucking, and you deliver just that. By sharing the reality of the job, you're not only entertaining but also educating and inspiring others who might be considering a career in trucking. So, keep doing what you're doing with your head held high! You're making a positive impact on the trucking community and beyond. Your authenticity and dedication will undoubtedly attract a loyal audience who appreciates the genuine portrayal of the trucking world. Don't let the challenges deter you. Embrace them and continue to share your unique experiences and perspectives. You never know how many lives you might touch or how many aspiring truckers you might inspire to take on this fulfilling career. Stay true to yourself, keep those vlogs coming, and know that there are countless supporters cheering you on. Wishing you safe travels and continued success on your journey as a trucking vlogger! Keep on truckin' and vlogging!

    I wonder why videoing on the docks is forbidden because my pal and I had photographer’s passes for Hull’s Victoria and King George Docks. We could go on regularly at any time, night or day as long as we wore hi-visibility vests and hard hats. We also had to promise to stay well away from dock workers and especially fork lifts.

    Hey mate, I was watching your content when I planned to get my hgv, following your guides I took my three days getting my hgv and passed first time. I'm only a weekend warrior as I didn't jack my main job in as planned so work for driver hire on the weekends doing fridge work. You helped me with my reversing, and you taught me how to work the fridge controls. As an agency driver I was tossed a set of keys ony first shift and sent out in well over a £100k worth of truck and trailer and told to deliver at Fowler Welch Spalding. Thanks to you it went without hitch and continues to help my 18 months in to me holding my license. This is the first time I've commented but you have helped me no end and I always enjoy your videos, they are honest, you dont always make the right decision (a delivery to Poundland where you where going round and round the yard a few weeks ago) but you show it all and allow us/me to gain experience from you driving daily. My hats off to you sir, you've been a great mentor to this weekend warrior.

    I work in social care, in a home. Have a class 2 which I have not used. 2019 passed. Care work is ok, can be ok but can be challenging. Clients can very challenging, aggressive, poor management, what's app group messages in days off that can be negative and about work and then risk of malpractice if write a report wrong or respond too normally, supervision with opposite a lazy manager. One can be on minimum wage to and not too long ago was £5ph...so trucking maybe not as groany as some make out. But I do get all the off putting regs.

    I came across one of your videos in my feed - very strange pick from the algorithm as I don't tend to watch things like this. Interesting watching the container delivery side of things as I work for a well known shipping line with an office in Liverpool so I don't normally see this side of things. I recognised that road in Liverpool you went along as I walk along it whenever I am in the office. Ironically I am meant to be visiting Seaforth later in the year so will be able to see first hand what you couldn't show on KZread. Keep up the good vlogs.
