    The quality and continuity of your videos are top tier. The shots of you having a meal, while reading the paper, and all the out of cab videos as you enter and leave the yards just tell a great story. I look forward to each new "homeless trucky video. Your positive attitude, is also what makes the videos shine, I have no doubt your day is full of frustrations, slow motorists, and every thing else, but not once do you let it show on the video.

    Enjoyed episode, I live near Emerald, ex Bundy old boy , getting on in years, Childhood friend of Robert DeGunst, DeGunst transport, Know Lindsay Transport well , Sadly not so many good stories about them, There were same cowboy drivers in the 80s , 90s, Saw one driver on wrong side of highway pushing traffic off road so he could pass a few more vehicles, Very dangerous actions, didn't gain any more time ,as he arrived at his destination just in front of us , Yes we in truck too, Should have lost his licence, Other truckies were screaming at him via UHF. And that just one of many times I have witnessed similar incidents, Stay safe and enjoy trucking, Cheers Bevan🦘🤠🇦🇺

    Hi Ken, long time viewer, first time commentor. Loved this video mate. By far your best one yet. Enjoyed the in cab views, your walking away from camera views, into shops, the driving out of yard shot, reversing up to park then doing a changeover. Different and refreshing and very satisfying to watch. You're becoming an exemapert at this game lol and I'm looking forward to your next vid.

    Mate, as a newbie to the industry i have been able to learn lots from your blogs. A fantastic insight to just how hard you work behind the scenes, one might think that you just jump into a truck and drive it to the next city, but that is not the case. Hours wasted waiting around to get loaded, paperwork before hitting the road to drive for 11 hours, sleep then start again. I also enjoy the sound track that to the landscapes. After 23 years flying across this country( i was a F.I.F.O) it's nice to see it from the cab of your truck. Keep up the great work. 5 stars.

    Kenny I am with Terry below the out of cab shots are really good it takes a lot of extra effort from you to get out of the cab when you are tired and take time to set up a camera for us. How about some commentary from the cab as you drive along on the towns you pass through and your thoughts as you drive the long miles. Its true that without you guys working the long nights we would all be stuffed I thing you are all under appreciated for your time and skills

Also, I enjoy seeing areas of Oz that I'll personally not get to visit. However, I need you to share a secret ... the closing shot was as you drove away from the camera. Did you stop further on and walk back to retrieve the camera? Go on, tell us😉
