Hi Ben. Brilliant as always. Talking about weather. The amount of times me and my hubby have holidayed in Europe (Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria and Yugoslavia as used to be), we've probably had more terrible weather than good. In fact, I think we've had better weather here in the UK for our holidays. I have to admit, where desserts are concerned, you can't really beat the Germans, better than the French, and they are good

Hello Ben. I'm looking forward to watching your Vlog this evening, I know in advance it's going to be a good one. I passed my Class 1 in August 2022 at the ripe old age of 66 and am gaining experience as a temp driver. However, european does take it to another level! I love the whole HGV world, with all it's ups and downs and I always learn something new from you. Just love your Vlogs, so keep 'em coming. Mark (Devon).

Morning. Out of interest why did you go to Toulouse via Paris? I usually go A16/A28 via Rouen, do the N154 down to Chartres, A10 to Orleans, on to Vierzon and then A20 South. I find that flatter, especially after Rouen, and cheaper on tolls too. I do almost anything to avoid Paris 😂

Im curious, is your truck an automatic? I always wondered how id do if i had to shift with my left hand. Also you mentioned miles a few times. Do you use miles in Europe? I figured you use kilometers. I ran containers in Ohio, a lot of Europeans come to America and run containers. I love the photos of the trucks they drive in Europe

@The_Breeze1

Ай бұрын

Hi Daniel, yes it’s auto & I use miles simply because I’m used to working with them 😊

That Truck excort was like the Italian job so think it's bit more serious than that as blood movement or could be shipping up migrants too Calia as I don't trust the french🤔
