I think that because you used to be a teacher that makes you really good at explaining things to people in a way they will understand

I am ex-forces class 2 driver from the 80's and have not driven a HGV for over 20 years, I am taking my class 1 at the end of the month and finding these types of videos extremely helpful in getting my mind back in the game. I must say that this video is by far the best one I have seen, you manage to explain everything very clearly. Thank you for taking the time to make these as they really do help.

I’ve been driving class 1 for 6 years Done a lot of different driving. But I still learned some things from this video. Very calm, informative and helpful to all of us. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload.

I'm an ex class 1 myself, retired now, this is a really well informed video with beneficial tips to make life easier for any driver, calm and explained perfectly

Such a well thought out common sense explanation of pretty much everything I've struggled with. Wish I'd seen this years ago. Many thanks

Not a HGV driver but found this very interesting. A lot of effort and work involved in this so well done Hayley. Your career as an instructor is blossoming.

Great video! I passed my class one this week :)

I am the typical new Class 1 driver, so this video is incredibly helpful. So good to anticipate problems and have a good idea of how to fix them. Brilliant Hayley, keep up the good work. Mark.

Absolutely excellent tutorial for novice and experienced alike. a must watch for anybody who drives LGV's. I think you've found your true role.

Hi Hayley. I start my first class 1 job on the 24th October after passing my test last November. Very helpful reminders. Thanks for your excellent tutorial 👍

Good video Haley. A note on the Shunt Button, when used the trailer has no brakes at all (not just ABS) which can be risky with a loaded trailer. All in all you have covered lots of tips that lots of us have had to learn the hard way. This video will be of great value to new starts and some experienced drivers too. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the help with the suspension lifting tips to attach trailer and if you have difficulty with the legs.. I didn't realise there's so much to learn after you pass your test.. your a great teacher 🎉

i’ve been driving class 1 for nearly 3 months now and I have picked up so much from this video wasn’t even expecting it 😅. Thank you so much you do explain it very well.

Hayley you are awesome - I'm just looking to move from class 2 to class 1 and finding your tutorials is just the best thing, gonna watch them all before my assessment this Thursday to work for a decent company driving proper trucks whoop - wish me luck 🤩😍

Got my provisional hgv form and booked my medical. Just learning the theory now and this video is amazing. Thank you so much.

Yet another brilliant video. Thank you, enjoyed this immensely. Have a great day, Simon

You just come into your own with videos like this, so very helpful for new passes. Great tips and another fantastic video. Thanks for taking the time

Thank you Hayley and your assistant and I hope you're all keeping safe and well too Hayley

Great video Hayley, very clearly put together and so much of this will be so useful to so many drivers. Particularly those just starting out! Brilliant 😎

Great video Haley. The raising and lowering the air suspension was so helpful. I’ve watched and rewatched you video on reversing. You have been such a good help. 😇👍🏻👍🏻

So glad to see you back Hayley, missed your videos and was starting to worry about you. Hope you and your SO enjoyed your holiday 😊

Another good one Hayley, hopefully we can expect more videos? You’ve got a very exciting career and would be great to see you running a driving school one day

Thanks for another superb video hayley. As you know, I'm a new driver and still learning so definitely I picked up some useful tips from this one. Looking forward to part 2. Hope to see you around the yard soon

I hope you have enjoyed your holiday Hayley and thanks again for a great video and drive safe out on the road 🛣️ this week.

Great video welcome back. Some great tips and advice.

Great advice as I have my final on road test this coming Wednesday. Another great video 👍 many thanks.

BRILLIANT! looking fwd to part 2!

What a brilliant video! I come back to this for revision.👍

That was a superb video Hayley, truly helpful. All that information is valuable to know. Your advice got me through all my initial bay reversing....."Left to bend it, right to straighten", something so simple made all the difference. Keep up the good work Hayley.

As a new pass this has been so useful, thanks for taking the time to make this content! You are a great teacher.

What a great video , Really helpful to a recently passed driver with good structural advice. Thankyou Hayley

Some great tips there Hayley, thanks for sharing

Great video and lots of helpful tips . Your video on tachographs helped me get started the other day as the driver that was helping me had to do an early run , so, i used your video to get going. ( Yes new LGV Driver on his second weeks work ). Cheers Hayley 🙂

Excellent video, especially for new drivers. Brilliant

I haven't started my trucking career yet - I've only got my license. These tips are really helpful. Thank you so much!

Wonderful video Hayley. Your previous experience really shows. I just wish my 'trainer' had shown me half these things when I learnt last year.

Thanks for your excellent tutorial Hayley and may the good Lord continue blessing and protecting you all the time.

Great vid H... please keep us posted on your updates

Great Video Hayley. A first class instructor in the making.Explained everything in a easy to understand way.Thank you.

Cracking video this. I passed with the draw bar so I could tow anything in a class 2 and the information on the turning with the artic was interesting. You wouldn’t think you could turn round in a tighter space. Great work…Subbed.

That's bloody excellent Hayley so well explained really well done I'm sharing this with a friend who has just passed I'm sure he will find some or all of them tips helpful 👍

Fantastic video, have said many times you should be an instructor. You have a lovely way about you as well. Thank you for taking the time to help so many new and I suspect not so new drivers. 😊

Thank you love , god bless you

Thank you. I started a 10-day intensive course today aiming for class 1. These videos are so clear and unrushed, they are brilliant. You are a natural teacher.

What an amazing video. Well done Hayley 👏

I hayley hope you are well.thats brilliant knowledge I will watch it again and keep learning from it.i wish I could of been there to learn and to practice reversing what I have learnt from our hayley you are awesome many thanks for the info. Phil.

Excellent tips Hayley wish I knew some of these when I first started! Never knew about dropping the suspension to get the fifth wheel handle out I always backed it up more against the pin! Another tip if you still can't get the legs up with everything you have said drop the mid lift this will also raise the unit to help. Great video can't wait till part 2 👍

Some very good tips,Given In a very straightforward way!

Great advice Hayley keep it up ❤

Great and very informative video Hayley which will help alot of people out. Keep up the good work 👏

Hello Hayley, thanks for the tips and tricks leant in this video. I have learnt a lot as i am a new C+E and hoping to have more of these videos.

Some really great tips. Thank you very much Hayley

Thanks for a great video. I am hoping to pass by late spring next year and be another female trucker on the road!

Wow excellent video for new drivers well done Hayley 👍

That was very good Hayley, ever thought about teaching......😉🤣🤣 Your approach to this was excellent and the tips were well thought out for new drivers, heck even I learnt something about that middle axle being past an obstacle then you can't hit it even on full lock, pure physics, now you've done even more of the sciences. All the best Hayley.

Great video thanks. I'm just about to start my HGV adventure. Seems a lot to learn! Your video's will certainly help ❤

Great video you are born to teach others it is with out doubt your niche in life

Thanks for the tips, as a new pass myself, this has been incredibly useful for me 👍

Lots of great tips thanks

Liked and shared! Nicely made Hayley!

Great video Hayley some very useful tips and tricks with very clear instruction.

What a fabulous video Hayley, very nicely done, will help many people, all the best from a retired trucker👍👍

Hi Hayley-Wow-Wow-Wow what a video. Absolutely brilliant. It's not only brilliant but its a video we can come back to time and time again to enjoy the pleasure of keeping ourselves in check and up to date, This video you may not have realised marry's up nicely with your Artic Reversing Video 👍👍. Plus knowing that someone has taken there time putting together a video like this together-Namely Trucker Hayley, Well done girl and thank you so much for all your efforts and time shared with us. So much appreciated from me Steven here in Manchester.

Great tips Hayley. Really good to know Thank you 🚚

Well I never knew about the tyre date. Nice one!

Thanks Hayley. Really interesting although I have never driven a truck.

Hi Hayley, these were really helpful tips. You is really crushing it.

yeah agree with everything in this vlog, while mentioned a few things mentioned here, one I know I didn't was about lifting the trailer if the legs were stiff, but did mention it a while ago to another new driver after watching her struggle with the legs in a vlog (who stopped vlogging). I was wondering about modern trucks with the indicator thing, as only really worked on, and been out in the classic trucks of the 70's and 80's which had a 2nd bulb next to the main indicator that would flash for each direction. while did drive a modern S-Reg Daf (or private number plated) that was only on a runway, and only truck on the runway so no need to indicate. only thing I wasn't aware of is curtain sided trailer curtain types as never worked with them. yeah position of the trailer axle is very important when doing sharp turns like too far forward gives more of a tail swing, too far back gives less of a tail swing, that is why I said in the comment at the time to allow an extra 2 feet extra for the chance of error/caution. the number of axles can also affect the tail swing as well. but overall a good video Hayley.

All top tips, thanks

Great advice.

Nicely done.

excellent production

You are a real genius..I love what you do and how your videos is helping us wanna be a new drivers to navigate our ways out of troubles ..more of the tips ma'am ❤❤❤❤

Thank you, very careful and detailed video. IV been a class 2 for over 20yrs. But my current boss wants me to have class 1 to move heavy plant...... I'm not too fussed about doing it as I'm near 50. But I did learn alot about hooking up and unhooking of trailers.

Great video, very informative.

Good on you mate.I'm watching you now.

Extremly helpful content to learn from. Thank you 👍

Hiya Hayley. I was watching the British Touring Car Championship the other weekend, and I heard that Jason Plato had announced his retirement from the competition after over 20 years. This was on the occasion of the grand finale of the 2022 BTCC season at Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit in Kent.

Top tips there Hayley, thanks 😊

Thank you so much for the powerful tips

Thank you hayley, some excellent tips there, I passed class 1 in may and will be starting with DHL on 1st nov.

Getting old, eyesight too bad now to drive but you've inspired me to learn the guitar 😎. If you don't learn something new today you will only know tomorrow, what you knew yesterday.

Excellent..Enjoyed the Vlog...

Love the video 👍

Hi Hayley, this was a great video, really helpful to get a few tips before doing class 1 as well. Did an assessment drive with the wag and drag nearly 2 weeks ago and I even had to reverse it, one shunt to get it back in its parking spot with guidance, really surprised at how little lock on the steering you need to get them started. Going onto hookloader training next then hopefully class 1, not sure if it will be with the artic or wag and drag, the latter follows so well and the other drivers who drive wag and drag have said it's much easier. I will look out for part 2 video😊

Hi Hayley great video you covered lots of fantastic tips you are the best at tutorials by a long shot & you would make a great instructor also

Thanks so much. 👍🏻

Good video. Brand new class one, every bit helps
