From hauling a straight-piped 14.8-tonne bin lorry with zero drive-axle traction to chasing rush-hour deadlines in Oswestry, dodging M62 gridlock, and facing a heart-stopping emergency stop on the A34 with a £380,000 walking excavator behind the cab—this shift shows the exact unpredictability of UK heavy haulage.
Join John-o in the DAF XF across an intense multi-day run:
Dropping off a brutally loud bin lorry in Hereford (no exhaust, no turbo, straight off the downpipe).
Managing wet-weather drive-axle spin and engine braking physics with a rear-heavy low loader.
Squeezing in 26 pallets of solar site materials out of Oswestry against strict 4.5-hour driving and customer cutoff clocks.
Making a late-night dash back to Skelmersdale with literally 8 minutes left on the 10-hour driving limit.
Returning to Hope Valley to rescue the 12-tonne Kaiser walking excavator and hauling it south to Portland, followed by an terrifying near-miss at 50 mph when automated braking (AEBS) goes wrong ahead.
