The Job That Went Wrong: UK Trucking Heavy Haulage Reality

Join me for a proper shift behind the wheel of the Cains Farm DAF XF. From negotiating impossibly tight site entrances and dodging road works to dealing with sleepless nights in industrial estates—it's just another day in the world of Class 1 heavy haulage. Today, we've got the low loader hooked up, shifting a tractor and a hedge trimmer, before heading off to collect some oversized metal frames. It’s a game of cat-and-mouse with traffic, low bridge warnings, and some rather "enthusiastic" locals in the dead of night. In this video: The load: Tractor & Hedge Trimmer on the Low Loader. Dealing with the A35 road works & diversions. Snug site access: Blocking the road and making it fit. Quick turnaround & on to Great Yarmouth. The "Job Bust" - Site communication issues & gate locks. Sleepless night in the yard: Dealing with local motorcycle noise. Collecting the steel frames & heading toward Newton Abbot. Wrapping up the day at Max’s Cabin.
