thank you mate happy easter to you as well. glad you are not dealing with any traffic and hopefully get smooth runs all over the place. enjoy it while it lasts because at some point it will be back to normal. its nice to be working because time goes quick and with the restrictions its hard to do anything even if you get the money and stay home.
Traffic is great, as you say will not last.It is good to be working one thing less to worry about. It would be good just to get back to being normal. Have a happy easter, take care.
Quieter on the roads than normal. Just keep my social distancing, did this anyway before this all started, take every I need from home. But have found the supermarkets seem to be busier, excuse to get away from home.😎
Hey mate I pass you a bit going up and down the Hume I'm about to start a new job still doing Melbourne Sydney and Brisbane I love your videos I assume with Covid the Mrs isn't coming
Hey Jack. Yes still going 5 days a week. Will be out on Sunday, to Sydney. Good luck with the new job. Yes you are right, Mrs has to stay home for now until the border opens. She is recovering from shoulder surgery, so maybe it was good timing. Stay safe, see you out there.👍🤜
nice braking there at 1:48 - he wasn't stopping. i do that often in my car even at roundabouts to avoid accidents even though you would be in the right - vehicles need to give way to those already on the roundabout which you would have been had you gone
MrYeetis It's fully automated transmission. It drives like an automatic but sounds like a manual. The Volvo I shift has the same set up. www.eatoncummins.com/us/en-us/catalog/transmissions/ultrashift-plus-mhp.html
Gday mate hope you are well and things are ok haven’t seen a new video for a bit mate just hopping you and family are ok , could you just let us all know in a quick vid even if your home , thinking of you mate !!
The wife has had a shoulder injury for 3 months and not able to get in and out of the truck. Government postponed her surgery, will be at home a little longer. Virus is also a problem.
Great to hear things are still moving. Have a step son working for Australia Post, they have there own loaded trailers parked up for 4 days trying to unload. Everyone buying online now I guess. Working from home? or are the just shopping?🤔 Don't tell the boss.🙂
Hi Rod,we have a lock down in England as well, similar thing to what you have there.I notice you have two fans in the cab does that mean you don't have air conditioning ??
Hi Dave. The fans are old school equipment, I have on two occasions used them, with the air conditioner, they did a good job circulating the cooler air around the truck. They were useless in the early kenworth with AC not working, or even if it was, on a 43-celsius day at Burke NSW. The heat coming up from the motor push the temp in the cab to 48 -50 celsius. The good old days, fun but don't want to go back.
I'm having Easter off, but work has slowed down in the waste industry for several drivers. My medical waste run is huge some days and quiet on other days.
Hi Nathan. You just don't know what is going to happen. I believe our slow down is coming. Keep working as much as I can for now. Have a relaxing time off.
Hey Rod, just a simple out of the box question, how's the people of Australia viewing the "asian" community due to the virus? I'm asian and always loved to travel to Australia from Singapore. But recently I'm seeing lots of flak for the Asian ethnicity due to the virus. Its like the whole world believes that the virus came from the race itself. Although it does trace back to mainland China. It makes the world believe every person of Asian ethnicity are to be blamed. I just hope to return to Australia for my next trip. Love for the environment and the trucks 🚚 Peace and stay safe , from 🇸🇬 Singapore
It's only a tiny % of the population who thinks that way. Most of us Aussies don't care what race you are, everyone is welcome as long as you don't cause any trouble or burden our economy
Hi. Richard is right, there's a small minority that are racist no matter what is going on in the world. Have seen about 3 news reports of someone targeting Asians. When this is all over, the tourism, airline and hospitality industry will be grateful if everyone comes back. Unfortunately there is assholes in the world, that will never change. As Richard mentioned, respect the country you are in, everyone is welcome.🙂👍
we australians love to travel to singapore, very important for our economy, lovely airport and lifestyle. i hope to welcome you again soon when this is all over.
@@australiantruckerrod1070 yeah not wrong mate. I haven't only spent a short time in a ranger but now days its heading towards auto's. I like your k200. id love to drive one in the future

Thanks for sharing Rod, Happy Easter and safe travels
Happy Easter, have a safe one.
Rod,seems like you were driving back to Sydney town to wash your banger. Cheers always from Dale..

Do you like automatic or manual more? Keep up the great work during these tough times, keep safe!
Josh Cook the one he is driving is automatic

@@David-mc9vu it also has a split option if you manually press the gears on automatic
i still prefer the stick
Gday mate hope you are well and things are ok haven’t seen a new video for a bit mate just hopping you and family are ok , could you just let us all know in a quick vid even if your home , thinking of you mate !!
Missing you Rod love your vids, any coming soon
Nice video Rod. Not a bad change with the camera angle too. I guess your wife's not allowed to travel with you while this virus goes around. 👍

I see you are still making her change tyres...definitely hurts your shoulders!!!
@@barrywalpole7421 :Will have to stop running those trailers up on the gutter and popping the bead.👌
Our fleet in Canada is still running back and forth to the USA

Thanks mate stay safe
Thank you, take care.
And people laughed when I said I maintain an automated tissue, toilet paper warehouse. I couldn't be busier . Happy days for now.
Bet they are not laughing now, all want to know if you can supply them with toilet paper.
Rod- I notice you are doing any changing of the gears. How does this work?
automatic mate.
CrowlerTV is right. I would think that 90% of new trucks are automatic.
@@australiantruckerrod1070 yeah not wrong mate. I haven't only spent a short time in a ranger but now days its heading towards auto's. I like your k200. id love to drive one in the future
CrowlezTV nah only tw900s are the best
