    Well done another great video. Don’t stop what you are doing they are great I like the way you explain everything you do. Being a retired heavy haul driver from nth Queensland I can’t believe how much the industry and trucks have changed in the last 16 years

    Ahhh the climb up the gap. It's been 10years since I was on the hwy. I used to run 3 per fortnight Melbourne-Brisbane & loved every minute of it until it was over policed & it become to much.
    I can't believe after 10years they still have those containers there just near the top.

    Great videos! I loved the time-lapse at Inverell where the Cummins sounds like a Formula 1 racer! 😂. Subscribed and was one of the ones who got you over the 1k line. Do you ever watch Bobby on the Ride-along-gang channel with his live streaming? I guess going live in Australia would be pretty scratchy everywhere else but maybe the Hume.

    Found your channel today and started watching. I'm not a truck driver, just a retired office worker but always enjoyed long driving trips. Have a few mates that do drive interstate trucks though.
    Seeing the roads from a truck can is so different from a car, and most cat drivers have no idea of how difficult can be especially with traffic and morons cutting in front of you.
    Next time I'm going through Aratula I'm getting one of those Eggs Benedict in a toasted Turkish Roll - looks awesome.
    Anyway, keep the videos coming. Don't know if you've done one on the truck itself but would be interesting with a run-down of it and engine/gearing for different roads and what the dash gauges are.

    • @crossfamilytrucking
      @crossfamilytrucking  Год назад

      Hi mate glad hands seem to get the job done pretty well not sure if I prefer either tbh yup transmission is a Eaton 18 speed ultrashift it’s an automated manual they’re not very smart transmissions if you let the computer do all the shifting they don’t like gradients and they can’t decide what gear to grab when really heavy that’s why I only drive in manual and click it up and down it works really well
