“F” the haters Shaun. Enjoy the videos and your honesty, it’s definitely not always cheery. Keep the videos up and crack on!

aye another top class road 🛣️ videos Shaun and have a great week out on the road.

Stay strong mate doing great work

You have a great work ethic Shaun. Keep on trucking.!

Well like trucker Tim DVSA now won’t leave you alone, so be careful because you never know where they are.

Still driving with the camera in your hand... Cowboy 🤠

This is why I asked if you needed anything. I've seen the path to Sainsbury's before and it's ridiculous. What's ironic is that the spreader can be towed by tractor on the road and that's legal.

Onwards and upwards mate, live and learn, aye good 👍

I've only watched you for a few weeks man I like your honesty and all the truck drivers who hateing on you have been there and done your mistakes just remember your doing something right if you have people hating you

Aye good awesome job keep it up ken 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

go to a local fire department and ask for some old fire hose and cut pieces about a foot long for where the chains cross. Zipties hold them in place.

How random! The day I find your videos and I used to farm near Welshpool! I remember Charlie's Garden Centre lol Great video New fan here

Top man can't please everyone, but these videos are genuine 👌 🙌 you keep making them, I'll like others will keep watching them,🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚

Passed you on the a5 dropping this load off truck looks good The one thing I like about you and sandy is how open and honest you both are even when you get it wrong

No ones perfect mate, cannot understand why people don't like you? Their obviously just jealous bud! F#*k them! I think your ace! Love your videos Shaun, keep up the good work pal!

I'm hated at work by alot of drivers. It's not coz I'm bad at my job but coz I do everything right and I expect everyone else to do the same, I have to account for every minute of the time at work and log it so if they haven't done there job properly it gets reported. Nothing worse than having to do my job but put there crap right to. I like the videos mate and respect your honesty

love your channel shaun ...............or send it at night lol ace

Boy I love your old boy

Great video Shaun as always I'm sure it's a learning curve for a lot who watch your videos as for me if I ever go back trucking. So your providing a lot of good info. Was never stoped when I did a bit of uk work thank God but waiting around like that I'm sure is tough to put down. Pity you didn't return to vosa say you can get through to the shops get them to drop you off 😂😂 keep up the work and videos don't mind the naysayers lad. Keep her flat 🤠🚚🚚

Did they not say anything about chocking the wheels Shaun?

Fuck it . Com mate! Love what u are doing! You are doing what o never had the balls to do! ❤❤❤

Great content, so you were pulled for as it ends up over width by a midges arse. Now ok I get that and I'm on your side and I'm on the side of the farmer that's going to buy and use the machine on public roads. So what happens when the farmer uses such implement on the roads going to have to do.

rubber car matts are great to protect crossing chains etc also straps. In USA you have chains crossing without they fry your arse end!. high loads with straps put a twist in that stops them singing and chaffing. Always have some ropes in the box apart from moving things as dolly and double dolly even triple knots you can pull or move things when no one to help you.

You will be learning to the day you give it up .

What do you mean about the extension on trailer when you say about it's same load from same place

I dont see why you should have the treatment you got, just because of what was really a technicality. Decent Toilets and washing facilities, proper access to buying Food etc etc. These are by basic requirements. The attitude of Authority towards Drivers is beyond me. Everything would collapse without the infrastructure of moving goods by road. I am ex Forces and can honestly say that the little Hitlers that do these jobs would not have lasted five minutes. Safety on the Roads is vital and you do need these People but there are ways of doing the job. Respect on both sides is needed. Love your vids by the way.🚛🚛👍👍

Love the channel mate! keep smashing buddy! just out of curiosity, what's the difference legally between filming with the GoPro while driving to if you was filming using your phone? Keep the videos coming!

You should get those rayban glasses that record vidoes Shuan

You will be the first and you won’t be the last to cut corners Shaun look like you took it in your stride regardless to inconvenience crack on my son 👍

U and sandy boy possibly the 2 truckers pure honest on the stuff use do class video again

Every body makes mistakes on a daily basis my lad lesson learnt on words and upwards 👍 see 👀 on the next one 👀 🤙 and don't forget to do your paperwork. Aye GOOD

I'm not in the trucking industry at all but love these videos. I've heard you talking about "extend to gain" what is that exactly ? I tried googling but couldn't find much on that exact term.

Technically yes, agriculture doesn't need a movement order unless over 3m, but they can get yearly dispensations that allows them upto 4.3m without having to put movement orders in

The GOW

Hi Shaun, if that's a movement order, when the farmer couples up and takes the muck spreader field to field on the highway, is he going to need a movement order to move it every time? I would say something not right if that's not the case, which obviously it's not. Yet another wonderful Grey area. Good luck pal 👍

Shaun next time you get pull at Bamber Bridge two footpaths you can use

Would reversing one or both of the wheels on the K2 have narrowed them up enough so as to get it 2 cm less wide, therefore not needing movement license? Or even taking the wheels off?

@stevieboy308

It was 20cm over, I know of 1 firm had a similar muck spreader on that was 2cm over, they told them to get a fitter out and remove 1 wheel and they could carry on, but with a £100 fine

@@stevieboy308 Sorry, typo - should have read 20 cm (approx 8”). Still think that turning the wheels round (reversing them so that centre offset works in your favour) may have got you under that 20 cm over-width. Or removing them completely. I’ve seen it done on Combines, by removing, or even fitting slave wheels to get them narrow enough not to need a special license and/or an Escort. It does make you wonder why the eventual user of that K2 won’t also need a license when towing it down the road behind a tractor!

Gutted for you pal they are keen at Bamber Bridge I saw your trailer there when I was passing, I would of took you for some food if id seen your unit was there

Too late now but could you not have ran it through the night? Or are they creeping round all night to catch you as well? All the best.

Are the DVSA taking the piss with that path

As a trucker, that path looks like an ideal place for a secluded wild poo, dont tell me you mother truckers dont do it too? Better that than chucking your spanish Tizer bottles up the hard shoulder, or is that just the Polish guys? 😙

Just be upfront and tell the truth as you say . Because it will bite you in the back side . I am new here

It's worth remembering that DVSA or VOSA or whatever they call themselves this week absolutely hate trucks and drivers and will do anything they can to cause you aggravation, Never mind that if there's no trucks they won't have a job, it's all about power. Remember there's nothing more likely to go to someone's head than a Hi-Vis and a clipboard!

Haters are going hate,.F,em, your doing alright shaun, loving the content, i thought those trailers would have just needed markers on the overhanging tyres, probs no wider than your mirrors ? lucky with no fines, i'm surprised at that, ive done 12' wide cabins with police escort years ago and was informed that the speed limit was 30mph, no second man either.

Hi, I'm not having ago!!! But I don't see how you're legal on length, the limit is 16.5m from the front of the unit to the back of the trailer unless carrying a load of exceptional length. They are cracking down on hiab tractor units as they can't pull a standard length trailer legally. I go on the theory of believe no one, I need to read it myself, in the official guidance or legislation. I've seen coppers, DVSA, even a traffic commissioner getting stuff wrong, so it's irrelevant what they say unless they can show me where it says it in an official document.

I do the same work, but mines not an extender. I've read and read the regs, I can't see anything that allows you to extend unless carrying a load of exceptional length.

I got pulled liads of times. If you've done your law and the loads been accepted by the operator license holder then any problems can be directed straight to the company. I remember a time when over a dozen police surrounded my truck. They allmshared a tachograph trying to find a fault. I used to stamp all my tachos with a stamp whichbread, 'Contains brake saving and movements allowable for the safety and security of the vehicle and it's load. This was a LEGAL get out clause for any over speed or driving limits. The good ole days.
