Life of a UK Trucker: Queue Jumping and Tight Reversing

Welcome back to the channel! In today’s vlog, things get a little bit awkward at the yard. I woke up at 6:00 AM ready to tip, but there was a Swain’s driver still fast asleep in front of me. The forklift drivers told me to jump the queue—did I push in, or was it just fair game since I was ready to roll? After getting the rebars off, we head over to Scots Pallets in Rainham to load up for a delivery to Derby. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. We’re running heavy and high at 4.74m (15'6"), which means dodging some seriously low bridges on the way to East Leake. I also tried to pull a "cheeky" early delivery a day ahead of schedule... let's just say the reception wasn't exactly warm. Stick around for some dashcam footage, a bit of reversing practice in Nottingham. Video Highlights & Timestamps 00:00 – Did I push in?
