I watched one of your caravan videos once where you had that little cartoon of a car with a caravan behind riggling behind on this miniature road map, just like the double decker buses cartoons of London, and your houseboat adventure on the river Murray. Mick I am 77 years old, I have been in Adelaide since Jan 1969, have driven a semi for Karri timbers a little bit, a truck for Cocks Foyes, and a 6 ton Thames for Black and white taxi trucks at mile end, yet I finished clothing designing college in Sydney, where did the time go, and So soon to, things are changing So fast, yet Truck diving still stays the same, and without you guys everything seems to dwindle down to nothing again, thank you again for your videos Mick, and keep up your good work. Mick
This has to be one of the nicest videos I've seen. Simple without exaggerated commentary. What a beautiful truck and wonderful journey you make through Australia. I wish you all the best and thank you for this video. Greetings, Peter from the Netherlands 👍
Hi Peter I'm from UK originally,. emigrated here to Australia in 1968, served in Germany in 1956, and visited Nijmegen, many times, theres more posts on youtube about Australia, try a site called “Landline” you’ll like it
Just a beautiful video showing professional truckers at their best. No grandstanding or noisy look at me nonsense. Chilled and understated like you’re going down the shops to buy some milk and a loaf of bread. But on a 6K drive. Good work fellas👍
At 8:35 mark it looks like you had a strap come off a trailer coming out of the depo. I remember as a teenager watching a driver backup a triple like this around a corner and then around into the block of land we were building a house on and the last trailer had all the roof frames on it. Everyone was in awe of the drivers skills and he made it look easy while many of the old boys waiting to unload it where talking trash towards the driver after he told them he could do it. They all ate their words lol.
I had left my work gloves sitting on a dolly and it was the gloves that you would have seen falling off onto he ground. Reversing a road train, two or three trailers requires a lot of skill. Something you need to be doing all the time or you tend to become very rusty at it.
This was a super video. Very nice. Good and explainful commentry. Wonderful scenery, good music and awsome roadtrain. Greetings from Norwegian Trucker.
How could one not love an Aussie built Kenworth! That’s a good tough looking prime mover and a terrific bit of filming, very interesting and very well done 👍👌
Memories of a co-drive with brother in law with two trailer road train back in '89. Townsville - Darwin - Townsville. Driving south at sunrise with Bon Jovi playing, A great memory.
hello from russia i like train truck.I like Australia near the snow. in Siberia where I live there are a lot of geo. you are warm. and you've got truck trains!
i went to Australia as a kid and my favourite memory was just as we were coming off the nullabor plain from Perth to Adelaide we came to the territory checkpoint as the sun was just coming up and saw all the big rigs waiting to cross with their stacks smoking and i hope to go again because there is nothing more majestic than seeing a road train crossing the beauty of Oz.
I have seen the beautiful 🎥 film verry-verry nice and what a amazing truck soooooo big and the colors and chrome work my compliments the land is so BIG again: manny thanks for the film greetings j.j Nieberding from the 🇳🇱 Netherlands
Awesome little video .. very relaxing and a nice break from the world at large ! Thank you !! Can't believe he drove all that way on the wrong side of the road without incident though ! :)
14:39 for all those who like an innuendo moment :P Just got my HGV licence in UK, though I would love to do this kind of truck driving, I imagine those long straight roads test your mental ability to stay awake, and I expected the turnings to be challenging but the three trailer doesn't need as much room as I thought, great vid.
Fair dinkum! You show a great side of Australia most will never get to experience. Replying to the various comments made on RUclips also make you make this even better. Good on ya!! Good career change and you and your wife bringing it to the world in this way I take my hat to you both.
Beautiful video. I watched it with tears in the eyes, what a beautiful country with such a magnificent beautiful truck. Was a lot in Australia but every time I am stunned by all the beauties it has to offer. Cannot wait to go back! What I saw in this video is absolutely my dreamjob in the next life! Rg, Alex van Nimwegen, Netherlands
Guys if traveling out there and you have a radio use it these boys always let you know when it's safe to pass them credit to the ABC drivers...keep up the good work boys
thank you for this video! really awesome,love the trucks from australie by there looks.. the country has an amazing wildlife. keep the videos going! i do trucking in europe from norway to spain. greetings from the netherlands
My brother emigrated to Adelade a few years ago. One of the things i'm really looking forward to seeing when I get out there is these Roadtrains. I'll definitely be hunting out the ABC yard. Really enjoyed watching the video, thank you.
You'll need to get north or west of Port Augusta, 300 km north of Adelaide, to see triples. In SA they're only on the Stuart Hwy up to Darwin or the Eyre Hwy across the Nullarbor to WA.
Greetings from Malaysia. What a great video, how lucky we're nowadays we could see the outside world without getting there (eventhough can't beat the real things). Magnificent journey and views. tq
Thanks for the ride, I envy you. I’m a retired trucker in the ‘Old Country’ and would love your trucking life. Wanted to move to Australia years ago, but the other half wouldn’t leave her family. Ah well, that’s life. Safe trucking 👌
Thank you. awesome. I live in Darwin and 1. My brother did the same job and I saw him do some of the work you showed and loved seeing him each week and was in awe of his work and 2. always appreciated the really bloody hard work you people do so we can get fed (and other stuff). A big thank you. also, we have driven this stretch quite a few times in 26 years and now I want to do another road trip!!! A great video, so glad you were able to do it. I know you missed many "hard work" bits :). cheers
Whilst I never made it this far north it brings back some great memories of a road trip I did about 20 years ago. Fantastic country, would love to go back again. 👍
Well done... Thanks for a simple, matter-of-fact video and music that didn't sound obnoxious. Nicely edited and planned camera angles, as well. The scenery reminds me of the territory I cover in our Great Plains states... 28 years here and now hauling blades and other oversized loads. It seems to be where a lot of old-school drivers end up, for the kids coming out of our driving schools these days often act like they're driving a sports car. Nice looking truck, by the way... It makes me miss the Peterbilt 379 I came out of into a KW T800, though I don't miss all the polishing lol. Thanks for sharing and be safe out there.
I'm truck driver myself being trucker is not an easy job specially you try to film it for the world to see thank you mate for the hard work your a legend ✌️
Oh god, Australia is so vast and so empty!! I couldn't see any traffic outside of the cities....ok, before you think this comment is weird, I'm from India.....
A wonderful journey! THIS is proper a adventure. 6k kms in just 3 days, way faster than train maybe considering you had to take a break, rest. Love those roads but can be scary as well due to high temperature and animals crossing, keep the eyes peeled all the time. Hello and all the best to Aussie truck driver brothers for their next adventure!
What a great lifestyle, out on the roads enjoying the wide open spaces. I'd love to give that a try. That truck must have some nurries to pull all that weight, thanks for sharing.
Huge respect & gratitude to our truck drivers for keeping this country running! It simply wouldn’t be running if it weren’t for our road train drivers that’s for sure 🤠 👍 Thank you 😊
Nice one Mick. I am almost binge watching your stuff and thoroughly watching it all. No bullshit ,.. just telling how it is! Very easy watching. Take care on the roads and have a Merry Christmas!!
This is very rare to find two trailers being towed by a semi on USA highways. You made an amazing video of covering Australian landscape. Best wishes from America.
@@ronsummers4090 Most of Guy's still running 18 speed Eaton boxes (Road Rangers)... Engines often Cummins 650hp, C15 Cats or if it's a Freight shaker it'll be the trusty n thirsty series 60 Detroit. Load capacity from memory 110T for a triple??? I pulled B Triples or Doubles from Toowoomba Brisbane to Northem Perth configerations up the Stuart were allowed triples as you saw... Braking distance... Hmmm Often the guys just coasted to a stop to make the other guys sleeping more pleasant... Turning circle etc.... Worst thing we had to look out for was not to turn to sharp, as the Dolly would hit the ring feeder and bend the eye...So the theory would be...

These guys are rough,tough and tumble, as is their gravelly voice. One of the hardest working men down under. RESPECT 😊
It can be a great job if you get in with the right mob. Now retired but I enjoyed my time behind the wheel.👍
What a great vid. I am impressed with your no bullshit attitude. THE MUSIC.... Mate, the music is superb, well done..!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Tandemwings, thank you.
Now retired after some 35 yrs trucking 🎉really enjoy your videos keep up your great work.
Cheers, now retired myself so no more trucking for me🙂
Hello, I have a request: How can I obtain the addresses of companies hiring truck drivers? Can you help me please? Thank you

You are welcome Peter, glad you liked it.
You road train drivers are a tough bunch, thanks for keeping Australia moving!
Thank you.
I can feel my testis shrink merely from the thought of driving one of these monsters.. Amazing drivers.

First time ever seeing a road train (opening scene of crocodile dundee) i was absolutely amazed, been a fan every since.

Hello ILIZIUM from Australia, glad you like it.
i went to Australia as a kid and my favourite memory was just as we were coming off the nullabor plain from Perth to Adelaide we came to the territory checkpoint as the sun was just coming up and saw all the big rigs waiting to cross with their stacks smoking and i hope to go again because there is nothing more majestic than seeing a road train crossing the beauty of Oz.
I have the upmost respect for all you truckers, thank you. Maybe my cousin Doug, will be on one of these 👍
cheers
I would love to Drive there here in the states we have so much traffic that a peace full trip Stay safe keep on trucking
There is a lot more traffic now than what there once was but I guess compare to America, we have nothing.
