No Info, No Space, 20 Minutes Left on My Cards... Now What?

Today’s job is definitely one for the books! We’re in Andover heading to a £10M mansion to pick up some shoring equipment. The catch? I have almost zero information, no contact details, and I have to navigate some of the tightest, "dodgiest" country lanes I’ve ever seen in a full-sized Arctic. Watch as I tackle Drummer Lane, squeeze past a "White House" pinch point, and attempt a reverse that has to be millimetre-perfect because the site owners are obsessed with their grass! Then, it’s a 2.5-hour trek to Tilbury where the challenges don't stop. We face a cramped industrial estate, a confusing one-way system, and a race against the clock as I nearly run out of legal driving hours. In this episode: Tight Manoeuvres: Navigating single-track roads not meant for HGVs. The "No Grass" Challenge: Reversing a 45ft trailer with zero room for error. Construction Secrets: Is that a secret bunker being built at a £10M house? Tilbury Docks: Navigating the Globe Industrial Estate's narrow corners. The Reality of Trucking: Finishing a "15-hour" day with only 20 minutes to spare. 🪪Channel Membership Get early access to my videos as well as other exciting benefits.
