That road use to be a racetrack at night. You have no idea on how fast it was. There where little rigids the paper trucks they where bullets.

Driving an Australian Autobus with M11 Cummins tweaked to 500HP, I would pass heaps of trucks going up the hill, but then pi** off all the truckies going down the other side because I was Tachograph limited to 100kph, but they didn't have a Tachograph to worry about. And it was Happy Hour. (no Highway Patrol from about midnight to near 5am.)

      Hi mate I’m using Hubfleet. It’s costing me almost $12 a month which is more expensive than a paper log book. But it’s great not having to count hours, spell towns correctly or have yellow copy sheets floating around. I think most use a dummy iPad or phone and upload the day when they get home, that is probably the best way to go. Using my iPhone 14 it uses the gps and most of the time marks your location as the last tower you passed. And every time you manually change location you have to make a note of why. It looks like your trying to fudge the record which is easy to do but it’s a tech issue and I’m just waiting for nhvr to have a look at it because I just put a . In the comments.

It’s on North Rd in Huntingdale which is quite busy and a bus lane as well, one day I got stuck in the dip between the driveway and the road because some idiot decided to not wait for me and I had to brake suddenly which put the drive axle right in that dip couldnt go anywhere🤦🏼‍♂️.

      The old stuff it probably worth more then the newer stuff. All the gear at the machinery sales place is small and suit hobby farmers.

All the expensive stuff like steam and traction engines are long gone when the sales happened. It’s mainly just old ploughs etc
