Будни бусиста: морозное утро перед срочной доставкой 🚐

A Van Driver’s Workday in Germany

The video follows a van driver from a frosty morning start to the end of a long day on the road.

Morning Routine and Vehicle Check

He makes instant coffee with sparkling water because he cannot find still water, and heats water in the van while getting ready. Before setting off, he checks that the wheels are intact.

Winter Driving Issues

At around –2°C, the windshield washer system is frozen. The fluid still will not spray after the temperature rises, leading him to suspect that the pump may have failed. He also notices that a bottle of water near the van’s heater had expanded in the cold.

Driving, Deliveries, and Equipment

He heads to a morning loading appointment, completes a delivery, and collects another load of ceramic goods weighing about 950 kg. The next unloading is scheduled for the following morning.

Because the next company requires them, he stops to buy work boots and a safety vest for €53.

Food and Rest

He brings instant chicken soup and prepares a warm meal in the van. After parking near the company for the night, he expects to get more sleep before the next delivery.

Practical Takeaways

The day highlights the importance of checking the vehicle before departure, allowing extra time for winter conditions, and carrying required work clothing and transport documents.

He receives a €150 fine after police stop him because he does not have the required tachograph paperwork. He acknowledges that the mistake was his responsibility.
