It's mad watching your videos again, I first started watching you about 7 years ago because I was thinking of doing my hgv license and you was the first video that popped up and I ended up getting hooked, it made me proper excited to be a hgv driver.. I've now been driving hgv's for 6 years and that excitement has disappeared and now its just a job but still a good job, however watching your videos again brings back the feelings of how excited I was to get into the industry and learn from your videos, I used to love when you uploaded a new video my missus used to buzz off me.. keep enjoying it jay.. cheers mate

Defo. You also have to be careful when pulling out on roundabouts because you don't expect a car to more off as fast as they do.
This is one of my favourite episodes because we can see you do it all like hooking up trailers. For non truckers like me it is fascinating to learn. Great vid

Totally agree about Tesla drivers in their plastic cars. BMW/Audi drivers are saints compared with them !!!!
Hello Jay, your not the only one then always have my braking gap taken by a car one day they will learn and it will be a mess of metal.
Wow. It looks scarily high up driving one of those things
Top vlog jay look forward to the next one
Always something with a DAF! Last Friday we had to put a new exhaust after treatment system ecu was just under 7k Australian then I was taking it back today because it had another after treatment fault because the techs never re connected the AdBlue injector and what happens it shit a clutch $6750+GST nearly 14k and it hasn’t turned a wheel as soon as I can trade these 2 we have I will never again and to top it off the thing tried to lurch into an intersection when it decided today is the day for the clutch and being an auto pulled on the park brakes foot hard on the brake so I didn’t end up on traffic it stalled and had to tow it to the dealer so probably another $500 for a 3km tow!!! I’d rather a clapped out volvo then ever have another DAF
I love how sarcastic he is

Jay, ..THE *1 Problem with Tesla and any electric car driver... , they're PROBABLY rushing to get to a charging point...
Telsa drivers are too busy feeling unjustifiably smug to worry about us common road users.
Thats called a typical day of a truck driver, you best get used to it otherwise the job will eat you away inside. 34 yrs ive dealt with this, no point wasting time with the sarcastic hand clapping.
Great vlog jay
Typical tesla driver I wouldn't mind but he didn't even stay in the lane after cutting you up Jay. Great video my friend very enjoyable keep it up buddy stay safe man. 👍
DAF interior looks great
At least once a day I witness a Tesla driver almost cause a crash, its impressive
Hi Jay…I’ve just looked back to several videos you made 6 years ago. I passed my class 1 almost 7 years ago. I knew we’d started At similar times.I’d like to thank you as each week back then I took so much positivity from them as I recognised you were making the same progression and at the same time mistakes that I was. … CREDIT TO YOU…Here’s to earning over £50 k per year now…..Thank you 🙏

@@jayd1974 Most older truck drivers I know have some form of back problems from the work. You'll also not be seeing your family as often as someone who works a standard 9-5. Also, I'd imagine their unions have a ton of leverage, as lorry drivers going on strike would cause the country the shut down.
"Just taken the braking space" Haha what a total over exaggeration. You were crawling to that red light. Yes you're driving a truck but it's not that bloody heavy. You hardly used the brakes before you would normally need to XD
Nice easy 1 Jay, keep it Lit👌💪💯

This is the problem with all this automation and big screens in cars, it removes people’s brains and disengages them from actually driving. People becoming too reliant on the cars warning and safety systems they become complacent, especially young drivers with no to little experience. Try not to lose your cool with others though, you predicted the situation and there’s no point getting stressed as ultimately it hurts you more. I do of course understand the frustration. Have a good one.
Saw a tesla that was driving right up the asshole of a logging truck, i dont understand why cause it was catching all the twigs and detritus coming off the truck, and you cant pass on that stretch of road cause its too windy so he stayed in his blind spot for about 10 minutes.
from my experience i would say audi bmw mercedes drivers are all good the problems most i had was with minis and other small kind cars..

like watch your videos so far im fairly new in the industry still in procces to sit on Class 1 arctic or what ever they call so far driving over 6 mth on class 2 most of the time home deliverys and enjoying so far the only bad point is people at the moment so of them are rude to ya with no reason
Typical Tesla 🔔🔚
Where you at jay?
You need to get an automatic truck bro. Will make your life so much easier.
I assume the reason for no eating is based more on the preparation of it, like gas, or even the potential for overloading outputs risking a fire too.. Yes I know it's a joke, but it's the way of the world now 😔

You’re right, only there are thousands of Audi drivers for every Tesla driver.
It's weird how the cultural differences are. In Canada Audi drivers are much more behaved. I wouldn't say "typical Audi driver". I would say "typical BMW driver", though, in the same scenario.
I'm probably going to upset some drivers but it has to be said BMW drivers Tesla drivers and Kia drivers need a different driving licence .
Damn you have a manual!!! Your place need any drivers???

is it actually that Tesla is driven by an Audi driver?? Look sense to me as any Audi drivers, driving other cars. It's equal to same worst as when they driving their Audi
Totally agree with you! Tossers!
Well let’s look at the type of people that drive teslas. People using them as a company car so they just don’t care Or Rich fools that also just don’t care.
Oi im an Audi driver, but an Audi v10 r8 driver and being a women. I'm a fab driver. With having a very fast car u don't have to drive fast. I'm sensible not rude. When that car came across the shevrons to overtake you. In 1996 some caused me massive accident neally killing me doing that.Also I'm an ex class one driver myself.
