Pete the Trucker's Sunday Q & A.

I always thought that they were just trying to save money but since moving into the office I now realise that this is not the case. Having said that there is clearly more to it than I thought which you kindly pointed out. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions Intro. 00:00 Last Weeks Mistakes. 07:05 Why do shippers book too small a van: 09:16 The Wise Guys. 16:11 Misc. 19:40 Conc. 22...

In life, it would be great if everything went according to plan, but it doesn't. And with the best will in the world sometimes things are going to go wrong. Then it would be great if those who are responsible put their hands up and said 'It's my fault@. But that doesn't always happen either and that's where the fun starts. This happened to me and this is what you had to say abo...

I finally got bored of getting my pump truck stuck under pallets and so I decided to do something about it. So, with a bit of forethought and the aid of a marker pen, I solved the problem and I was surprised how successful it was. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Last week's video on the LEZ was my most watched in a very short space of time. Obviously, it is a subject close to all of our hearts and you clearly had more to say on the subject. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

It's a cause close to all of our heart and I had a go at taking it on but I'm just the one guy with a truck. Fortunately there seems to be a group out there who have got their act together, so maybe it's time to throw our weight behind them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/stopt... https://petercoath.com https://redcircle.com/shows/pete-the-... https://www.facebook.com/petethecouri......

Don't believe everything you see, particularly if it's on the social media, and that includes me. I did a video on this recently and you guys put your four pennyworth in. Fortunately, you were all very kind. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions. https://petercoath.com https://redcircle.com/shows/pete-the-courier-drivers-sunday-q-and-a-the-story-so-far https://www.facebook.c...

It's been a long road and there is a lot further to go and it's good to see that I am not the only one. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I knew that there was a JCB in Stoke but I didn't know there was one in Wrexham, and when the job came through my heart sank because I know that Stoke can be a bit of a pain to tip. So I'm off to find out if Wrexham is the same, that's if I can get the internet to work. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX https://goroute.co.uk/download-app. https://petercoath.com https://redcir...

You may be going the same distance but surely it is worth more to the customer to move six pallets rather than one. So should you charge extra for heavier loads? #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I put a video out simply because we are looking for someone extra to help out in the office and you made some interesting points on things to consider when recruiting in this industry. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Some of you are running brand new, some nearly new and there are even a few antiques out there. Everyone has their own way of running and there are pros and cons to both. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

The Courier Exchange works as a way to find jobs but what is it like for tracking payments and working out when invoices are due? To be honest it's not really my department but fortunately I can give you the advice from those in the know. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I started my journey as a merry jaunt up to Liverpool, that then turned into a pick-up an hour north and then there was still the possibility that I could make it home, and thus, the odyssey begins. I'm bigging that up, it's not that dramatic. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions. Nick of time 00:00 The Wise Guys 10.36 The ACDA's 12:27 Misc 14:30 Advertising Inquiries:...

I was asked whether you can see other bids on the CX or whether it's a blind bidding system. The answer is it's blind, but the question remains why is it blind and is it necessarily the best system? #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I got to the yard one morning to find out that someone had properly gone to town on the Lorry. Both the curtains had been slashed the entire length and they had smashed all of the windows in the cab. And so we had to take stock and put the lorry back together, which is exactly what we did. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Some people will tell you you can make a fortune where as some will tell you that you won't earn tuppence.

Whether it's trucks or vans there is always a middle option. Are there any advantages of going down the centre or is it simply a case of go hard or go home? #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I'm back! And it's not 2003 as I said in my last video it's actually 2023. I'm back with my Christmas present (new boots), my hopes for the upcoming year and a new plan for the channel. Basically a bit less of me. I can hear the cheering already. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

So the first ones done and you are sitting there waiting for a job to pop up to take you home or anywhere because one job a day is not enough. But how long should you sit there and does it depend on where you are and how far away you are from home? #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Why is it whenever a job is posted they just give the first 3 letters of the postcode? Would it really take that much longer to type out the whole thing. Turns out that there are more than one reason why as you guys were kind enough to explain. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I can't believe that it took me so long to come in. When a shipper asks me to wait while they confirm a job I would just say 'Okay'. That's all changed now and that was helped by what you had to say about it. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.
