80’s Overnight Express. A look at the Overnight Freight game back in the 1980s and 1990s. What’s changed? What’s the same? Although trucks are involved in the vast majority of fatal road accidents, they are statistically at fault very rarely. When air freight isn’t really air freight. The world expects Heavy Vehicle safety and low speeds but at the same time expects overnight delivery of goods ...

Fatigue is by far the biggest issue in long distance trucking. Any truck driver who says they’ve never fallen asleep and scared the hell out of themselves is lying. We may hate the work diary but it’s there to make sure we don’t end up a statistic. Yes there are problems with it and in certain instances it forces you drive when tired to get the job done, but it’s there to try and keep us all sa...

None of us are perfect and sometimes accidents happen. Particularly in Transport! Having talked about the importance of Truck Drivers watching out for Forklifts, this Forklift Driver nearly got flattened by a Truck. The Truck Driver (me) checked his mirrors before reversing, not seeing the moving forklift intending to head across the back of the truck. End result: Truck 1, Forklift 0. Incident ...

Driving trucks is a dangerous occupation, and the dangers certainly don’t stop at the steering wheel. Loading and unloading the truck is often the most dangerous part of the job. This video looks at driver safety around forklifts and how a moments inattention can cost you your life. Always be aware of your surroundings and don’t let distractions get in the way of safety, after all, we all want ...

Trucks versus Trains… There’s been way too many. A look at the Bindarrah SA truck train crash on New Year’s Day and the similarities and differences to the Kerang train disaster back in 2007 that killed 11 and seriously injured 23. Plus three more truck train crashes. As truck drivers, we are responsible for the safe operation of our vehicles, no matter the circumstances, it’s on us. #trainvstr...

Some idiot jumps onto a trailer and the truck driver is to blame? Come on, could it be he wasn’t a super trucker? Stowaway rides from Nambucca Heads to Coomera under a B-Double’s rear trailer. Police charge a man for riding under a truck for 400km. #trucks, #trucking, #truckdriverproblems, #stowaway, #killermoustache, #truckdriverlife, #freesbrisbane Check out freesbrisbane.com for merch and gr...

I see two or three cars, sometimes more, each night on the road. Are these the three reasons people don’t realise they have no lights on? 1. Digital dashboards are lit up all the time, lights on or off. 2. Daylight Running Lights, give the illusion headlights are on. 3. Use of Automatic Headlights, which may have been turned off by someone else. Welcome to Free’s Brisbane. @freesbrisbane Merch ...

You’ve Seen One Door Ripped Off, You’ve Seen Them All! Little incident at Lindfield, On the Pacific Hwy in Sydney. Old mate opened his door and them failed to hang onto it as I passed… surprise surprise, the draft opened it up and it hit my trailer, destroying the door and writing the car off… oops.

Update on the Kempsey Three Truck Fireball back in May '23. Two truckies were pulled up in a truck stopping bay when a third truck veered into the bay at road speed and collided with the parked trucks. You'll never believe what happened next. Thanks to Conan for the update and still photos. #trucks #trucking #transport #bigrigs #truckstories #freesbrisbane Link to other video ➡️ ruclips.net/vid...

After mentioning I am away from home 93 hours per week, someone commented that a man my age should know what it takes to run a business and if I wanted to work for myself, I'd need to double that... Thats over 180 hours a week... There are only 168 hours in a week... Welcome to Free's Brisbane @freesbrisbane Visit www.freesbrisbane.com #trucks, #trucking, #transport, #freesbrisbane.

The second time I was poisoned on the job… This time it was an insecticide while hauling grain. Aluminium Phosphide becomes Phosphine Gas when it comes in contact with Air. Truckie gets a face full of Phosphine as a forgotten Aluminium Phosphide Blanket bursts open when it gets stuck in an auger. Unexpected dangers of trucking.

What Transport Job wouldn’t be complete without the odd casual poisoning? It’s happened to me three times now. This story is the first time I was poisoned and ended up in hospital. Dangerous Goods incorrectly labelled cause poison spill at Canberra Airport. 6 Hospitalised and Canberra Airport shut down. Story from about 25yrs ago. #transport #airfreight #canberraairport #poison #ANU #JCSMR #AaE...
