You're a great advertisement for the industry Kenny. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much
Your videos just keep increasing in quality every time! Thank you, Ken. Keep on truckin'!
Thanks mate appreciate it
I miss you, hon! I thank you so much for this video and other videos because it helps us a lot. Plus I enjoyed watching the beautiful sceneries there in Australia along your travel and every trip. I also get more familiar of what you really doing there as a truct driver. So yes, it's not really an easy job honey ko. And It's really different when you just telling me all those things over there than you did it in actual performance like I've seen in the video🫰. I'm very PROUD OF YOU, HON! Please, take care always, mahal ko. God bless! ❤️U so much, muah!😊
You have a good hard working man for yourself there. Thanks for taking good care of him and keeping such a beautiful home for him to return to. 👍
Salamat mahal ko,…labis na pinahahalagahan
@@simonolsen9995 Yes, as always and I really do. Thank you so much for your beautiful message and I noted it.😊🥰. I'm glad that Ken has many good friends over there especially youtube subscribers. Again, thank you and I love you all!🙏🩷🩷🩷

Thanks to you for loaning us the old fella for 9 months of the year, and it was great for all of us to see the scenery in your country

Hello! Good afternoon to you and to Everyone! Ohh... yeah! It's 9 months work you're right, yes It's hard for me and Ken. But it's ok because it is a call of duty, that Ken's have a work to be done over there in your Country. And in his free-time, he is occupied and enjoying doing his video for his YT channel and that's because of you all! "his beloved RUclips Subscribers" You guys liked and enjoyed his video and he becomes more inspired to do it! "thank you so much too!". And at the same time, I myself was very happy watching those videos, it helped me a lot. I'm not sad or lonely anymore compared to before... Now, I see him most of the time plus we're talking via video calls... we're happy and OK!😊🥰❤️ Thank you also that you all like the sceneries in the Philippines.
I love you all, guys!
Joyce🙏🥰❤️
I hope you saw the irony in this video. You were pulling trailers that had the advertising for the Eaton automatic transmissions, and yet here you were with a transmission fault on your Eaton Automatic transmission. Keep up the good work.
Lol,… yes, lucky I broke down in the yard so no one saw it lol
144 hours a fortnight equals 6 X 12 hour days each week of total concentration and responsibility. Hard yakka even in these modern times. My hat's off to you and all the other truckies Ken.
These vids are top class! Editing, content and music are all excellent. Even down to the lack of other people around which really hits home the solitary life of a linehaul truckie!
Much appreciated!
The blokes they put in your truck when you go on holidays.... hahahahh. Look after that loana Kenny... that's my rocket... drive safe mate. P.S thanks for not pressing delete.... 😂
Bad news I’m afraid,… hit a roo last night south of Marlborough,… bent your bull bar,… sorry mate.
Great video Ken and brilliant choice of music. 👍
Thanks so much
Brown and Hurley have a beautiful new Kenworth in Lindsays colours on the lot in Coffs, should have your name on it.
I saw them,… there’s 2 there now!!,… Cmon new truck,… must be getting close to my turn lol
“Automatic gearbox”Ken 😡you just can’t trust them bro they cause so much grief too many working components and electronics and thank you Ken for your very essential service to the country
Thanks mate
Thanks, Ken. I've never been further north than Townsville so every town you film and drive thru' gives me a view of where I'm very likely not going to visit. Love your videos!
Lol,… you should take a run up there one weekend
Pick me up on the way down for the return run 🤣
Beautiful part of Australia. You should visit some day.
@@pommy71... thank you, Stuart. If I had the finances and I was younger, I'd certainly have the north of Oz on my travel agenda.
ROFL !! Delete the drivers off Bluetooth and change the UHF screen colour !😆😂🤣 That gag never gets old . . .
Funny you have a gearbox problem given the advertising on the trailers you were pulling, Murphy’s Law that is.
Yeah, funny that lol
Keep up the great work Kenny 👍. How about showing your cumulative km for the season at the start of each episode and add the km driven during the episode to the total at the end.
Wow,… what a fantastic idea,… okay,… I’ll do that,… thanks!
deserve another philippine holiday ken struth!
I found that out when I was driving a cab in Townsville one night. I used my gps to pick up a job n found that it took me the long way. Lol.😊😊
Alot of times GPS's are set up to quickest route not shortest route
Gee Kenny hopefully you don’t get too many trips like that. Maybe time for good old 172
Ha ha buggered up . Mighty be time for Lindsay to trade old 1715 in and give you a nice shiny new Kenworth 👍
Hey Ken, Maybe the guy who drives the Loan truck normally had a play in yours whilst you were on a break and "adjusted" the setting on the GPS and put a gremlin in the gearbox. Thanks for the video, for the work you put in making them and the great music. Thanks for also showing us a bit more of our country. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks mate,… I’m still looking for someone to blame lol
No doubt about you Ken, you’re one hell of an ambassador for our industry. It’s clear from this video that it ain’t all beer and skittles and things do go wrong. Great footage yet again, and the editing is amazing. Looking forward to the next instalment! 👍🏻
Thanks mate
Another great video.Thanks for sharing
Kenny, you need to set you Sat Nav to your truck, which means entering the Stats of the truck, then you will get the correct directions!!
@@davidohara5505 I wish that was the case David, Garman here in Australia are a little behind, the Bruce hwy north bound is weight and length restricted but southbound is fine , same with the Ipswich hwy in Brisbane and it won’t always take you round heavy vehicle town bypasses
ahh Kenny - you just drove past my old house in Cardwell mate - great memories in your content my friend
I really appreciate you breaking down your arrival/departure times as it gives budding drivers a real taste of the tight schedules you need to keep.
Hey Ken
Bangs the vids out on your own timeline mate
No rush
The wait is worth the watch.
Thanks for another great video Ken, appreciate the tip about gps getting it wrong sometimes, we used them too because the boss calls up and wants to know what time you'll be in the yard, and gps is pretty handy for things like that. I saw the distance from Innisfail to Brisbane and nearly fell off my chair!!! 😂
Thanks Ken 👍
Getting to be a common occurence getting rounded up by a set of Followmont trailers, boss. 🤣 I recognised the Tobin truck at the front of them though. At least the loan truck has a bullbar, so you can be a real truck driver for a while 😜
I had to slow down and wait for him to get the shot lol
Any word on ya own truck?? Good of ya boss to run ya up n back near ya own truck for when its ready....
Take it easy old mate.
Yeah,… all good now, thanks mate
Doesn’t seem that long ago you talking about RUclips letter for 4000 subscribers but now you’re over 7000 Ken 👍
Top stuff mate.
Thanks for taking us on journey with ya
Yes,… I’m a little surprised myself,… I can’t thank everyone enough!
The filming and editing is so good, feel like we are going to lose you to Hollywood. Ps the eggs on toast looked delicious!
They were!!…
Can't beat the old road ranger stick at least u control the truck with it it dosent control u
Exactly!… the young blokes don’t want to learn anymore or Kenworth has given the big companies a pretty sweet deal on their new autos
Onya Ken I see you are trying different angles with your video ..Ken is your K W speed limited as I see other B dubs stich you up stay safe Cobber Keep on Trucking I will re live my old days with you cheers 🙏😀👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Jess,… yeah,… limited to 99 kms so I bring a lot of blokes around me,… no point holding them up
True trucking legend Ken.
Keep steering the wheel mate. 💪💪💪
You're a crack up Ken, don't know how many people have had to use my truck when I was on leave etc and come back to every single setting changed or deleted lol
hahahaha when you got into the loaner 🤣😂
you tubes favourite truckie 😁
Just remember u make oz run brother. Thx for ur help
Thanks mate
My son in law's great uncle founded Mackay. That’s his surname too.
Love the run up to Cairns from Brisbane and back every week 4 days driving time for me 43 hours Wednesday to Saturday
love your work champ everytime I see a Lindsay's truck I think is that the homeless trucker
Thanks mate
Mate good work on removing Bluetooth settings good cyber security move with all the hackers and scammers about.
Lol
Another good one Ken ,the old girl giving you a bit of trouble since you got back mate , probably abused during that time , anyway cheers for now mate
Lol,… I was thinking that,… it was fine before I left
Another quality video, Doing the Bruce you be able to show a major Hwy a lifeline for the North how it is, Lots of nothing, sugar cane and a hwy that's in the dark ages... When the Bruce floods the North suffers, Keep safe & doing a good job... You managed to arrive on the Morayfield, Narangba, North Lakes section at the perfect time, just coming out of jam time, 👌👍 by 6.00am that section is a carpark, 🙃 In the afternoon North the famous hopeless Gateway at Deagon the 3 lanes into 2 slow crawl starts after 2.00pm, & soons backs up the Gateway. slow stop slow to the M1 Pine river bridge,, Friday arvo to Sunny Coast can be a pain especially after Caboolture, the roadworks, again some clown as 3 lanes into 2, on the completed new bit then its fun in the roadworks .. Not especially those lane hopers who can not use mirrors 😀😀 Again well done and also for keeping cool when computers flick the bird 🖕on these modern trucks..
Thanks mate,.. I was pretty lucky this time,… I was expecting the worst lol
Hope it helps. Appreciate just how hard you work.
Thanks so very much mate really appreciate it
the tech blokes haven’t change the system to daylight saving have they? My Navman tells me about accidents and why it has changed the route. Sometimes it gets on my nerves but it hasn’t caused problems it’s just “now what” especially if I am unfamiliar with the road. When I travel the Bruce I always pack a lunch as it is known for its looooooggggg delays. At it’s worst a trip that should have taken under an hour took three hours one way. Coming home one hour. Oh well that’s life. Thanks for the video. 16:30. What a pain! 21:44 Couldn’t go without aircon thank god you fixed it.
It was telling me to make u turns or turn left or right every chance it got,… I was to get off the Bruce no matter what lol
Happy Sunday Kenny! Another great video. Dont forget I want to purchase a classic homeless trucky towel! My mrs said NO lol but I'll figure it out lol cheers Kenny
Hi Ken, Yes I agree with you on the 15-minute breaks are a big waste of time and space, another great video Ken thank you again. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Ken, the way things are going mate you re going to end up chief mechanic .lol.
Cheers Michael
Lol,…
I live in Edmonton a hour north of Innisfail .
Same from me Ken, your videos just get better and better! The music choice to go with the particular footage, camera angles and I liked the slower dissolves between some of the shots you've put here too. Well done mate!
Thanks 👍
I was at a conference about 25 yrs ago a bloke from Kwikasair told me they run new trucks 1.2 million km, then overhaul the engine, run it another 1 million km, overhaul it again and then limit it to metro runs only.
That sounds about right I think.
Thanks Mate for explanation your breaks , that F-King book, lol. The Home Hill bridge! Was driving a 409 tipper, that auto box 🥵 We had a tablet that managed FM, move at 14 min, lost the FM break for 15 min. Live near B&H north Bris me near new northbound bbq posted, so I hear you. 40 years used to go to Rocklea Markets Sun to Thurs . In those days clouts did the job, lol. keep safe mate. Good work brother. A NO for me next week.

Another interesting video and great music, Ken. Auto gearboxes are OK most times, but you can't beat the RR for reliability. Are there (m)any other drivers' like you that basically live in the truck for an extended period then have a long break? It seems like it's a good deal for the employer as they can be always sending you forward and not have to worry about getting the driver home to mum and the kids every week or so.
There’s a few blokes that don’t go home very much,… their choice, I like the way I have it set up at the moment,… just suits me
Man I really don’t miss driving up and down that goat track, always roadwork’s horrible surfaces and of course tourists during daylight hours. My favourite place to stop if I could was Cardwell love the place.
I like Townsville,… plenty of room and an easy run up to Innisfail
The yellow pie van....!
@@paulschimmel1099 yes I have had a few , very tasty and a good variety
You must have been very lucky with the North Brisbane traffic that day. I live on the Sunshine Coast and to be honest I can't stand driving to Brisbane at the best of times let alone in peak hour. If you don't hit the traffic from Caboolture it will be from Anzac Ave all the way to the gateway turn off. But love watching your videos. I get to see places I don't think I will ever get to.
Thanks so much mate
Hello 👋 Hey HI and Howdy Neighbor... Cleveland Tennessee Waivin a Hand 👋
Gday al,… how’s me American mate going?
Another great video Ken, you must be doing a few extra K's just running back and forwards carting the camera about..
.I'm starting back again week after next, but I'll just be doing locals for a bit until I get proper sorted out. I don't think I'll be doing mangos this year...
Ok,… great,… might see you out here then
Take the K220 for a tester mate!
My mate says that they’re not too bad to drive
GPS might be set on walking not driving
Lol,… I’ll check lol
Another great video, watching from Nairobi Kenya, really appreciate.
Thanks mate , welcome
The settings on your GPS might be setup to avoid highways. i Always carry my old beat up truckies atlas around with me so i can double check where i'm going , F@#$ing autos give me the shits give me a manual any day , good luck Kenny cheers
Not sure,… it runs me down to Melbourne ok,… just doesn’t like the Bruce
Great footage Ken thanks
Thanks
Thanks so very much Jurgen,… you’re so generous,… thank you!
another great video mate, did i tell you that i handed my truck licence in, just got a class C now, so now you have to lookout for the old bloke in the 4w4, ok Kenny keep safe it,s been great knowing you.
Thanks mate appreciate it
I like the video you make it was really good and sorry your truck broke down but hopefully it will be fixed hopefully for you next vlog I can't wait and see you On the next vlog keep on trucking 👍
Thanks 👍
Check your settings on your Garmin and double check it isn't set up to avoid motorways/tolls and sending inland due to it
I might have a look at that I think,… maybe that is the problem,… but the old one did the same
Can only try my car one was set like that for awhile and wondering why it was taking it down dirt roads and things
Great meeting you Kenny , in Brizzy the other day. I wanna be a Kenny ! 🤣🤣🤣
are you a lindsay worker??
Good man, shine some light on the life of those who move the country
Long day at the office that one Ken. The rain must have been an unwelcome addition to the trials of the trip. Stay safe sir.
safe travels mate, see you next week
G'day Ken Been on interstate off and on for around 40 years Been subscribed for awhile but couldn't work out how to message ya hehehe I'm livin in Cebu down past Toledo City Been all those places you've been travellin looks like the Newell hasn't changed much..Watchin from over here am thinkin comin back and have another crack Still only have hc licence but could easily upgrade Done fridge before also Can you get a set run with Lindsay Brothers ?

Yeah,… you’d probably get a start,… and get a set run,… just tell them what you want and they’ll work around that,… probably get a new truck too,… they seem to giving all the new blokes one these days lol
nice to finally meet you here in brissie mate.. last sunday .. keep up the good work my fellow lindsay employee . 🙂
No problem mate,… welcome
I used to cross that old Burdekin Bridge several times a week when I was learning to become a Train Driver in Townsville back in 2002. I don't envy you poor truckies having to hold a wheel all that way at 2am in the morning. At least we didn't have to steer. Do you prefer this automatic transmissions over the manual ?
No,… I much prefer the manuals,… just have more control over the vehicle
@thehomelesstrucky I got my semi licence years ago but only ever drove trucks on the odd occasion in my early 20's. Unfortunately I never really got the hang of speed/rpm/gear matching. That being said, I learnt on an F86 Volvo single drive with sincrobox and later S Line 9 speed roadranger. Then 15 speed Acco and Last was a Freighliner 18 slitter. I did try an International tipper which had an Auto once. I remember being disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to practice gear jamming. So many good instructional videos on the internet now, that I wish I still had the opportunity to have a go. Anyways, don't let Mr Fox run you too ragged. Cheers Adrian. PS. I reckon I saw you come through town a couple of times. 👍
Good video ken 👍
Thanks 👍
Seen you rolling into gympie on Friday going south
Tried the uhf no luck
I’m pretty sure I had it on,… if there’s too much crap going on I’ll turn it down
@@thehomelesstrucky
All good
hope you get the truck back soon ,l always look forward to your videos all the best
Thanks 👍
The last 2 years google maps has got so bad, even around Melbourne where I grew up and live it sends you in circles. You need to have a rough idea of the the main roads.
Another bad thing is when it says “we have found a quicker route, if you wish to stay on the current route press NO”. If your not quick enough or don’t press NO it changes. 😡.
Brother with a tanker got sent up a goat track “truck GPS unit”
Yeah, you gotta know where your going,… I mainly use it for times between different places or ETAs,… the maps are great in the fog and heavy rain
Another great video Ken. Take care mate.
Thanks 👍
Wonderful video again. Always loved your vlogs. Working life is hard over there. Really hope to be part of you guys soon
Spot on about not blindly following the gps instructions .
Great Video, Stay safe out there
Kenny, sorry about the shxt trip this week, happens every now and then doesn’t it, a bloody nuisance ,time consuming and non productive . Had a look at the new yard in Mackay about six weeks ago doesn’t look very big and didn’t look very easy to manoeuvre in.
However loved the footage from Innisfail to Mackay, I knew every bend and rise with the music in the background a treat.
Anyway mate hope this week brings better joy. Keep on trucking stay safe
Thanks mate,… the new yard is really just a fuel stop,… I’m hoping they keep the old yard for the trailers
Another great video thanks ken appreciated
I’d seen you heading out going through Gatton turn off early this evening mate..I was in my rental car over here for a few day’s..just had a look around Toowoomba..safe travels mate
Lol,… sneaking my way down south
Hahaha truck could do with a wash mate
Thanks ken, safe travels mate👍
Thanks 👍
looks like you had the trip from hell down the goat track also known as the Bruce Highway 😭. you do an amazing job at showing what life on the road is like for Australian truck drivers. keep the rubber on the road and the shiny side up .have a wonderful day and much love 🤗🙏💕😁
Thanks so much
Loving the videos, all the best from Bonnie Scotland 🏴
Thanks mate really appreciate it
Well done Ken,
Its a hard shift when you get out late and you gotta drive all night.
It’s getting to be the norm lately lol
Little bit unlucky with breakdown on that trip ken at least you got there might c you threw gingin one day going to Gladstone 👍
Greaf video great editing and good shots
Thanks 😊
Great trip homeless Welcome to Brisbane!!
Most likely that dealer didn’t even look at it, parked it out the back and shipped it.!!! Dam nuisance no doubt
Hmmm,… seems likely
Love your work mate
Another great video, thank you enjoy watching them mate.
Thanks mate no problem
Loving the vids mate.. keep up the good work and shiny side up
Thanks 👍
good on ya Ken ! looking forward to seeing whats up with 1715
Very enjoyable but the humming noise every time you're in the truck was really distratcting, hope you can fix.
I’ll check that out thanks
I used to run to Brisbane Cairn’s 1 week, then to Mt Isa the next week or Melbourne,normally quick hitch out of Brisbane back in 1981
That would of been hard but probably more fun than today,…
It just seemed as if the GPS thought it was 11am not 11pm
No,… the time was right,… I’m pretty sure it was going to run me out west somewhere but if you put a stop in like Townsville then Mackay,… it’s fine
Could you do a video showing how to fill out a work diary? Would be very informative
Ok,… the actual writing in it you mean?… ok,… no problem
@@thehomelesstrucky yea would be good to know before I head over
Garmin probably thinks you’ll need a break, might need to change some settings.
It thinks it’s weight limited,same as the Ipswich hwy,… Mt Gravatt rd,… and a few other places
Hey mate great work, and keep it up, I hope your doing well mate, and I hope you are safe out there mate, and great video as always...
Thanks Dillon
Good on you Kenny great stuff
