HE SAID IT WAS EASY… The Flawed Logic of a 7-Drop Day | 4K HGV Vlog

#hgv #trucking #truckdriver "This one going to be easy," he says. 🙄 Welcome back sweetpea! Today’s mission: 7 drops (or 6 according to the boss man’s flawed logic) of mesh and rebar across Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. Between the M8 being "hecked," a few close calls with the local wildlife, and some questionable route planning, it’s safe to say the traffic is chipping away at more than just my drive time. The "Easy" Schedule: Drop 1: Coburn Street – A quick 2-ton rebar tip, if I can actually get through the junction 20 madness. Drop 2 & 3: Turnhouse Rd & Craig’s Road – Two Miller sites that are "right next to each other"... if you don't count the part where I have to restrap everything in between! Drop 4: Innerleithen – Heading down the 703 past Glen Tress. Drop 5: The "Mystery" Mountain Bike Center – Finding out Drop 4 and 5 were actually the same place? I'll take that win! Drop 6: Melrose – Testing the 9m length restriction. A meter and a half over the limit? We’ll just call it a "tight squeeze." Drop 7: The Final Boss (Glasgow Road) – Reversing off a main road into a dead-end street during rush hour. Just your average Thursday.! https://buymeacoffee.com/stuckinatruc... 00:00 – Chipping away at my drive time (The morning struggle) 00:36 – Welcome to the cab: Very busy, very tired, and very emotional 01:04 – The "7 drops" (or 6 according to boss man's flawed logic) 07:56 – Junction 20 madness: M8 Eastbound is closed! 10:04 – Drop 1: Coburn Street (2 tons of rebar) 11:58 – "It's two drops!" – Disagreeing with the boss's math 19:58 – Drop 2 & 3: The Miller Sites (Turnhouse Rd & Craig’s Road) 22:58 – Blind-side reversing and looking for the ditch 30:19 – Resetting the drive time and heading to the Borders 33:02 – Drop 4: Innerleithen (Heading past Glen Tress) 40:48 – Drop 5: The rare lucky break at the Mountain Bike Center 48:00 – The 9m restriction & Melrose HGV Challenge 55:50 – Drop 6: Melrose (G&J Groundworks) 58:36 – Tight turnaround at the farm 01:03:30 – Reversing off the Glasgow Road in rush hour traffic 01:08:00 – Drop 7: The final delivery & itching to go home 01:11:10 – Final thoughts: Pretending to be a professional driver! #haulage #scotland #edinburgh #lorrydriver #trucklife #scottishtruck #construction #scaniatrucks #volvofh #truckfest #truckerworld #truckphotography
