    Yard truck. Ha ha. Great video again. Makes me want to drive a rigid around town. I did that before I had my license.

      Why around town? Do the same Mildura to Perth run in a rigid and get paid the same. Okay maybe not but it would be good to do it

    Thanks for the flyover of Jugiong hill. Been up and down it quite a few times, but always in the dark, doing Greyhound overnight.
    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.)

      Ha ha great story man thank you for sharing. I hear a lot of blokes as soon as they get past the pub it’s foot to the floor and send it

    For a well deserved sandwich platter

      Ha ha thanks Kylie. Sadly I haven’t seen a platter in there since I got the last one. But now I walk in and the owner asks if I want “the usual” so I guess I’m a regular customer now

    Hey Brad great video again in the rigid for somthing different. I went to gundy bakery last Tuesday but just parked up a bit further near the table and chairs lots of caravans parked in usual spots. Still worth the extra little walk tho always great food! 👍 Catch ya around.

      Thanks mate, I’ve seen trucks and rigids parked in the park across the creek. You can drive right around and come back up the next street. I’m back in the rigid today so want to do some exploring

    Gday Brad, a rigid aye! Welcome to my world and yes very different to driving a semi. Not that I’ve driven a semi anyway but I wouldn’t attempt some manoeuvres in my rigid that I’ve seen semi drivers do, especially here in Melbourne. 😅 keep safe mate..

    • @Brad_The_Truckie
      @Brad_The_Truckie  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks mate yeah even feeling more solid on the road in a semi compared to the rigid. More tyres to slow you down if needed. But I won’t lie the workload so far is a lot easier in the rigid

    Oh Brad lol, you were absolutely a fish out of water. It's amazing how a simple thing changes our complete routine and structure. There is no worst videos thank you very much, all great and very entertaining. I'll be heading your way in about a months time to see my dad in Yarra but i will message you as it gets closer. Stay safe and i hope you had a great weekend after that day.

      Cheers yeah let me know when you’re coming down. Spoiler alert for next week, it’s back in the rigid but at least this time I know it’s coming

    Hi mate what app do u use for your log book and do u find it easy to use also I’ve owned Volvo trucks since 2002 and they have been a pretty good truck Cheers

      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.
