I'll probably get called racist for saying this but, if they don't have the experience, how did they get the drivers license and how did they get hired. To drive single, B's, doubles or triples takes experience. Ya don't hire someone of the street with a car license.
they use overseas licence and companies just hire them from that i guess
Many companies are very short of drivers so the prerequisite is a lot lower now.
Yes that is another way.
Australia must keep immigration strict and regulated otherwise it will get like Canada which is disaster,
Canada got destroyed by unregulated immigration, lost its culture and economy, people from India come , they have zero interest in Canadian culture, they do not blend in with locals, they create their own communities some of them are the whole cities with population of 600k , that's just crazy what's happening here, and government calls it multiculturalism
Trucking industry just dominated here by indians, I would say 90% of truck drivers in all over Canada are Indians, Trucking market got destroyed, to compare to be a truck driver in usa you make 2-3 times more money compare to Canada
So if you guys don't fight for your rights in Australia your culture and economy will be destroyed like in Canada
Hi Johnno, I see ALL your vids and enjoy them very much.
In my opinion YOU ARE A HERO and I have RESPECT for you how you handle your job and how you make your video's. Also your helpful way when you are on your way and try to help people when they have problems. Your experience is great and your love for transportation and passing this through to others is respectful.
Thanks Ton for your kind words.
Your cruise control is very good. Lowest was 98 and highest was 102.
Just depends if I go up or down a hill.
You said a key word Johno, ATTITUDE. Something that plages my memory is when I was pulling a single up the MV to Swan Hill. The fog was so bad that to stop in the distance that one could see, 70 klicks was the MAX (all the way). I was suddenly overtaken by a double traveling at 100 kph or on the limiter. He had to pass or hit me, he also had two trailers sideways with NO idea at all of oncoming traffic. A day or so later I was talking to a local interstate driver about it over a beer at the local and he scolded me, I was told that I should have been doing the 100 clicks regardless. I could not believe my ears, I dont care about time restraints when it comes to driving to conditions. That my friend is an attitude that has to be STOPPED.
Yes I get both sides of this story. I would live to continue to do 100 but yes is be afraid that someone wouldn't be able to see to maintain that speed and is hit the back of him. On the other hand not everyone has great vision when it's really foggy so what do you do.
John I started driving trucks at the age of 14 carting hay on a farm at 15 I was driving on the road in rigid trucks at 16 I was driving semis at about 19 I was carting livestock driving single and double deckers of cattle then I went on to general freight but I was lucky to have some old guys to show me the ropes I went on to cart just about everything you could put on a truck from general to fridge work, steel ,timber, furniture and more livestock , grain ,Spuds and other produce and along the way I taught a lot of young fellows the ropes as well some listened some didn't but the problem we have today is that TRANSPORT COMPANIES don't train the newbies and that is the PROBLEM .After 57 years in the job I'm glad to be out of it.
Yes I hear you. Most companies want experienced operators so they don't need to train anyone. I know of some that will take on new drivers and train them.
young or old experienced or not your always learning the people that stop learning are the ones who have mishaps great videos Johnno thanks for your hard work be safe on roads
Thanks Andrew. Yes you can never stop learning new things.
I love your outback videos of Australia especially Queensland and this trip to Townsville, kindest regards Johnno
Yes North Queensland is my favourite too.
I have worked in a lot of the towns that you go thru,Moranbah,Townsville,Cairns,Mareeba,Mt Isa,,, back in 1981 I have travelled from Brisbane to Mt Isa via Winton to Kynuna via the best dirt track,which I understand is Bitumen now
Sound good. That's great country up there.
Johnno your attitude is 100% correct. The Indians are new and everybody is learning and with time and a bit of patience ithey will become the norm. I am 79 and know one hell of a lot, but nobody knows everything, and I always listen with an open mind. Its the smart thing to do and its respectful. I believe that you should always offer help to others who appear to need it no matter who they are. If your offer of help is not accepted for any reason, be polite, move on, and at least you tried.
On the question of training videos. What about in conjunction with Lumbers' make a series of videos to be used within Lumbers' to aid in staff training and procedures. Maybe even have them on Lumbars own website available to everybody. The first video could be how and why you help others on the road. If you go down this path you will need to have legal disclaimers that states that they are of a general nature and may not take all circumstances into consideration. Chris
Very good Chris. You sound like a great guy to have on the road.
Lumbar's only his experienced operators do they don't need any instructional videos but I don't mind making some for people who want to learn some things.
Love your work Johno.Some people are positive and some are negative.God bless you for putting that out for opinions.Im sure many appreciate the heads up. 😊
Thanks Brenda. I haven't seen you around much lately. Yes everyone has different experiences with Indians.
Hi John, my experience with Indian drivers is their lack of driving skills. I’ve seen some terrible things happen. It makes me wonder what type of licence they have or how they get to drive here. Also I’ve experienced many time in servos owned by Indians, they are not as clean as an Aussie owners would have them, and the Indian owner’s are arrogant and rude. I will put in a plug for the Indian guy who works in the Muswellbrook Servo on the highway going up to scone (don’t think it’s a truck stop from memory) and was fantastic, polite, helpful and happy, hat off the him. Back to asking for help, I ditto what you said about asking. We are all learning, doesn’t matter how young or old we are. Never be too proud to ask. And never feel dumb for asking no matter the question. If someone asks something of me, I’m happy to help and if I ask for help, most times people are obliging and do help.
Love your videos John. Keep them coming. Cheers
Wow. Yes. You have a great attitude. Don't ever lose that. I know everyone has had different experiences with Indians. I just hope things improve all around.
Early on in Australia, back in the 1800's, long distance freight was dominated by men from North West India.
There you go.
It’s there culture,, tryed to help,
Maybe
Oh yessss .first time hit like for u john .🤭
Very good
Thanks 😊
👍👍👍
Very true abs fair way of putting it all
Thanks Jonathan
They need to slow down, 85
No that certainly isn't the answer. That will create so many more problems. If even we all slowed to 60 and had a great on crash, the outcome won't be much better.
👍👍🚚🚚👍👍
👍👍👍👍
We all learn from our mistakes Johnno but making a mistake in transport is a big no no.Safe load safe trip with no people being killed by your load coming of the truck when you are driving along.Know it all people who think they know ever thing I have not got much time for these people i have to say.And for the Indian drivers I wish them well in the industry but let them all work together sorry I just don't trust them much.
Thanks Raymond. The good thing about Indians are that they are mostly very hard workers. They want to be good at their job but because of the issues with mistakes that they keep making they are afraid to ask for our help.
👳♂️ 🚚
👍👍
My belief is when foreigners go to other countries, they arrive with the same driving/living/working habits as their motherland and that's ANYONE to ANYWHERE. However, I feel that the stereotypical comes because in a lot of countries their "traffic management" is more chaotic and have a "free for all" type/style of driving which they then take in to countries with a more "strict/structured" style/way of driving that's also heavily enforced. Everyone learns eventually though, I guess. I hope that actually makes any sense otherwise I've just wasted both our time 😅
Yes you're right. Good points
If you were stuck on the side of the road 🛣️
Would Raj stop and help Ha
Driving on rims etc, get them off the highway 🛣️
That may be true but I still like to help people. I hear you though.
Hey Johnno😊
Hey Dean
Berapa jauh kah jalan ini lurus nya john? How KM these road straight..
That section has a lot of straight roads.
It's better helping
For sure
Hi Johnno well big subject.personally I like the Indians there mostly very nice people I get on with the well with them I’ve been in transport a very long time. I chat with them a lot ask me about becoming an owner driver and advice. And when I explain how I gross then I explain my running costs are there faces drop. I tell them be a full time driver it’s more money. If I see them having trouble I help them in my experience 99% say thanks.i have seen so many changes in our industry over the years. If it wasn’t for the Indians we would be stuffed the shelves in the shops would be bare construction industry would be super slow. Mining the same and the list goes on.i think they have integrated well in the beginning a few years ago they were really inexperienced. But now I find they have learnt a lot.I don’t really see them doing unsafe things very much hardly at all these days.I really like there culture there very polite there kids are well behaved there don’t seem to suffer road rage like a lot of Aussies do. They drive well there courtesy on the road is great.I think 99% are really nice people.
Yes you're right, they do fit in well and they are hard workers. They certainly do try to do well at their job. There are so too many silly kayaks being made too such is why they have this bad reputation. Hopefully that will change.
Hallo johno .i live in Germany and also truck driver. I love to move in Australia. Just asking if it's worth it to move as a truck driver in australia. 😊
If you don't have many commitments in Germany it would certainly be a great change for you. You could either do long distant with like me or drive around town.
No in Germany not like in australia. I was last year in January in australia and I travel from perth to Melbourne in truck. I love that.
I love to drive long distance 😊
Did you know some companies that they want drivers from another country also?😊
Oh well you should come over then. Let us know when you're here.
