Pete the Trucker's Sunday Q & A.

This weeks video was popular and there were plenty of helpful comments on what is the best van you can buy. To make life easier I have timestamped the video so if you are after one particular make you can jump to that section of the video. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Best van. 01:00 Renault 03:00 Merc, VW & Transits. 05:40 Iveco Hiace and Toyota. 09:00 Conc. 11:46...

This week's main video was when I had my first go in the Merc and there is still a fair bit to say about the perils of doing airports #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Last week's mistakes. 00:00 The Mercedes. 02:14 Airports. 05:55 The Wise Guys. 08:20 Trucks. 13:29 Misc. 15:16 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://info.courierexchange.co.uk...

Welcome to 2024, let's hope it's a good one.

Well another year is nearly over and I know how I think the CX is going but that's just my opinion so I thought that it would be better to ask you guys how you got on and this is what you had to say. #Courer Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX This year on the Exchange. 00:00 The hardest addresses to find. 05:00 The Wise Guys. 08:11 Trucks. 10:00 Misc. 10:38 If you are thinking of joining the C...

Some of the modern innovations make driving much easier and some are just a pain in the arse. Guess which one is which #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX https://petercoath.com https://redcircle.com/shows/pete-the-courier-drivers-sunday-q-and-a-the-story-so-far https://www.tiktok.com/@pete_the_courier_driver https://www.instagram.com/pete_the_courier_driver/ https://www.facebook.com/petet...

I've been away for a few weeks because I have had some things to sort out but I think I need to come back now, after all, there is work to do. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX https://petercoath.com https://redcircle.com/shows/pete-the-courier-drivers-sunday-q-and-a-the-story-so-far https://www.tiktok.com/@pete_the_courier_driver https://www.instagram.com/pete_the_courier_driver/ ht...

Firstly thanks for all of your support recently and sorry I missed last week but I'm going to try not to dwell on that today. Today we talk about socks and sandals and whether you need to wear PPE all of the time, if at all. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Socks and Sandals: 04:00 The Wise Guys. 11:00 Misc. 13:18 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the...

A bit of everything this week but a couple of interesting bits on what if you run out of driving time on a Friday night and do the LEZ cameras penalise you if you have a personalised number plate? #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Last week's mistakes. 00:00 Taking the Truck for MOT. 00:41 The Wise Guys.

I've decided to simplify my life and you all seem to think that it's probably for the best. I have also made a shed load of mistakes since last week but again fortunately you are there to pick me up. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Last week's mistakes. 00:00 The Fishermans story. 06:00 Tipping a Lidl. 10:34 The Wise Guys. 18:03 Trucks. 23:07 Misc. 23:54 Conc. 25:32 If you...

It's all going back to basics, I am back working in the truck now and this is the very first job I did after over ten weeks of being in the office. The job I did before the exhaust break jammed on and then I backed my lorry over the edge of a cliff. Good start. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Last week's mistakes. 05:03 1st Day back. 05:30 How to close down a job p...

Is it a fashion no no or have times changed and the socks and sandals combo, once reserved for the Brit abroad with a hankie tied up on all four corners for a sun hat is now a practical and stylish look for the modern-day trucker.

I'm back after a week off and still trying to catch my life up, simplify and make a change for the better.

I am still trying to get my life in order and as a result I haven't posted a video this week. Also, it's kind of difficult to do a Q & A without a video to discuss. The reason that there was no video this week was partly due to the fact that I had an absolute disaster. I hope to have things back in line for next week. I just hope I don't have another week like the last one. If you...

Well I've gone and done it. I've let all bar one of the drivers go and I'm back in the truck on Tuesday. Hopefully with the aid of your advice it will be the start of better and easier things to come. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX The way forward. 00:00 Trucks. 18:50 Misc. 19:0Conc. 27:40 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://info.co...

I am starting to get the hang of this office thing now so I wanted to do a video on how to post a load on the CX. There's probably far more to it but it does the trick. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Last week's mistakes. 00:43 Post a load. 02:18 Ratchet straps: 05:15 Trucks. 09:44 Coc. 13:40 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: htt...

The shipping shed is starting to take shape, we now have WiFi, a telly and less splinter flies which were crawling all over me making me think that I had fleas. We still need a chair, a desk and probably a whole new shed. Even more importantly, we need a name. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 The shipping Shed. 01:18 The Wise Guys. 09:48 Trucks. 12:00 Misc. 17:11 Conc. 24:0...

It's time to say goodbye to the Merc. She has served as well but at the same time I think she cost more than the other four DAF's put together. I'm still finding my way with what is the best truck to run. Fortunately, you guys have more experience than me and know better. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 The Dilemma. 03:22 The Wise Guys. 16:39 Misc. 17:20 Conc....

This week I have been working out the computer system whilst moving into the shed and trying not to die from remarkably high blood pressure.

I'm falling behind a bit on the videos because I am still trying to get a grip on what happens 'behind the scenes'. I have worked out one thing though, why shippers say; 'I'm just going to ring the customer'. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Why shippers say 'I'm just going to ring the customer'. 05:06 The Wise Guys. 13:12 Trucks. 16:03 M...

I'm in the office now and I watch the bids come in and think 'Have I used that driver before?' This has made me think that when picking the name of your courier company it would be better to have one that really stands out. #CourierExchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 The Wise Guys. 06:32 Misc. 07:57 Conc. 14:01 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link b...

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I am now in touch with the exchange and as a result I can get you guys a free month, who doesn't love something for nothing. It has however called into question the independence of the channel and as few of you have pointed out that there may be a way of getting an even better deal. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Something for n...
