That was an amazing video lads. Love the sounds, the sights and the whole lot. Huge respect for men and women that do the likes of this job. Some laugh though when you hear the Irish accent🤣
Nice drive mate, your employer lucky to have you... There are truck drivers and then there's livestock drivers, a world of difference between eh. You didn't show enough of what's involved with breaking, loading and then reassembling the train maybe, but loved the sound of the engine throughout on the pull :) Great vid all up. Keep on truckin' and stay safe...
Done the trip from Perth up to north WA many’s the time with double’s and triple’s for JJ Hawkins and Ontraq back in the day. It makes Going from Mayo to Dublin with a fridge seem like a quick shunt 🇮🇪
Really nice vid of the job, the scenery, things involved. Excellent camerawork. Not as easy to film all this during an already demanding job as it looks afterwards for the viewer.
@@Parmidaabasi No, lorry is the old UK word for a truck from a time before we became Americanised. Some people consider a lorry to be a small goods vehicle but it depends on where you live, the word 'lorry' covers big trucks too in my part of the world.
Nice :) you got to do what I never got the chance to. I'm from Canada. Spent a winter near Toowoomba is far inland as I made it. Saw some road trains. Ended up working irrigation on a cotton farm near Dirranbandi. When the time gone to haul the bales to the gin, I got stuck on a picker while other guys got to haul with B doubles. I did get to ride in a crop duster in growing season though so that was cool. I hope you had fun! Overall I found it to just be a bit of a hot wasteland with people who wanted to bust your face in and then be mates after haha
I Love Trucks. Thank you Michael this was awesome, i luv the ending the dog waiting to hop in the cab, no dog box4me boss. I subed up and are hopefully you'll do more filming - pleeeeease ty
Gidday, Russia and Oz are similar in that they are huge and the roads are not that great. Small population and big country breeds tough men. Hope u get to visit The Land Downunder.
Hey, big truck high boy driver. You've really got a very high level cab floor on this road centipede beautie. I love that. I would do some like that on a SCANIA LK 141 and on a 111 L to install on these tandem trailer trucks a non turbo 1940s 30.000cc V-12 600hp CONTINENTAL gasoline engine and an original Australian bull bar.
The 18 speed Roadranger is actually an 8 speed where you split can split every gear, plus a deep low gear that can also be split. Quite easy really as the nine, thirteen, and eighteen speeds have the same shift pattern except the nine is a straight box, the thirteen is split high range only, and eighteen both low and high ratios can be split.
Drive safe brothers. Doesn't the floor burn your feet. I drove some in my socks but I didn't feel right shoeless so I didn't do it much. If you accidentally run over a piece of steel it could bankrupt you. I retired here in the states with almost 50yrs of trucking. I drove every type truck known to man. Be safe brother.
I worked in Darwin for a while in construction and haulage. You wear as little as you can possibly get away with otherwise you couldn’t survive in the heat.
I’ve watched most of Paul’s videos on his channel , I’d say he’s from the midlands possibly Offaly , I think he has a tractor video from Offaly , he used to write great articles in classic truck. I haven’t bought it since it amalgamated with another magazine , just can’t think of the name of it at the moment. He still writes for truck and driver. One month his profile might say he’s driving a livestock Scania, next month he’s in New Zealand.
I'm sitting in my bed on the Gold coast Qld watching a couple of Irish boys in a fukin road train in WA, thanks heaps great video, there really is fuk all out there isn't there🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
Once you provide proof of driving with an articulated in Europe, you should be able to get a Heavy Combination licence which allows you to drive the same type of truck in Australia. You then need to apply for a learners Multi Combination and do your test for the MC. This will be done in a B-Double, after which you can drive the big stuff.
Design and build them here. Only way to make them tough enough. About 75% of the Kenworths built here since they started in about 1970 are still on the road.
The old split rims were mega dangerous no doubt. Daytons are a very safe alternative! A lot of commercial trucks used to run them, you don't really see them being put on new trucks but when I drove I had lots of different trucks and trailers that ran them.
More likely tubeless 1 piece. Split rims are not dangerous to put a new tyre on if you use your brains. No different to change a wheel though but when they get full of dust the spacer can be a bastard to get off to get at the inside one.

Love to know the cost of transport on some of those "Haul trucks" oversize loads
Very good. Hello from Brasil.
How do you go about changing tyres on a MC rig especially inside ones on the trailers? Im doing my HR atm in Perth.
its a hassle, there is ways to roll up on blocks so you do not need to use a jack but in the end, its just a hassle and heavy work
@@fraudieYT Part of the job..
Long story short, if you need to change an inside tyre, you pull both off.

And from the cattle when loading........................lol.
Washing the poo is the glamorous part of the job!
What's the gear ratio?
So this is where the shorts and flip flops come from into the trucking industry.
I worked in Darwin for a while in construction and haulage. You wear as little as you can possibly get away with otherwise you couldn’t survive in the heat.

Anyone know how the lorry licence works if you from the uk or Ireland? Can it be transferred to an Australian one?

KW using different instrument panel in Australia. Interesting. Wonder why?
This one might be customized but not sure. Have seen different in others. He says 904, i had driven 908 n 990

You've never driven a truck off road before?

Daytons. Not split.
@@codychickadee5095 are they as dangerous to change as split rims? thanks for the info.
The old split rims were mega dangerous no doubt. Daytons are a very safe alternative! A lot of commercial trucks used to run them, you don't really see them being put on new trucks but when I drove I had lots of different trucks and trailers that ran them.
The rim is one piece and is fastened down to a larger hub with some wedges.
More likely tubeless 1 piece. Split rims are not dangerous to put a new tyre on if you use your brains. No different to change a wheel though but when they get full of dust the spacer can be a bastard to get off to get at the inside one.
