Shane - entertaining video (places I often drive in Sydney). Those little SatNav devices (TomTom & NavMan) are good to a point. However they let us down for the vital last 75 metres before a turn from a multi lane roads! (but seem to gloat when we get it wrong!). This is the reason we see so many drivers suddenly jump from the far right lane to leave an expressway on the left across two lanes and the white painted no-man's land at expressway exits!
Lost.... is one of my fears. The camera is in a good spot, I feel like I'm in the passenger seat, but with all the comfort of my couch. Thanks for the trip around Sydney.
Interesting to a non truck driver. Makes me more aware of the trucks around me. Who’s to say they’re not going thru the same thing. We need you guys on the road 😊
Loved the ride especially the music coming through the tunnels. Reminds me of when I got LOST leaving Sydney one time moving back home away from the bloody traffic and chaos. You making music through the tunnel reminded me of when i drove my old 79 XD through the harbour tunnel many moons ago. Stay safe Shane
Thank fuck to the invention of the truck gps. When I first started, I'd be sent to a new suburb a couple of times a week and the old street directory lead me to all the low bridges and tight narrow streets with low branches and car's parked up to every corner. 😄👍🍻 29:18
I got lost exactly the same as you on that route. The GPS said go left when the sign told me to go through the Lane Cove Tunnel. Possibly since on the satellite map the Lane Cove Tunnel goes exactly the same way as the old road for a bit, only it's directly underneath the other road.
Cmon shane!! You knew the m2 connects to m7 then ya coulda used ncx. Ive had the same issue going through ryde, gps took me same route as you, i decided to trust the signs instead
It's a shit when you missed that firt turn, I had a navman stopped using it as it keeped sending us on wild goose chances. Now I use GPS maps on mt phone set it to take toll roads & fastest route never had a problem now.
You might like to know I didn't find it boring , as I don't get to see the cities down south anymore , and this has been a real eye opener for me, and I'm shocked at how unattractive they are looking. Thanks for the trip .
I cant tell you how many times i have driven the same way but you getting LOST was hilarious LOL LOST :) hehehehe doing the same trip tomorrow wish me luck.
Bro, you got beached as! The Australian Truckies Atlas is a good go to , to study your route, then write out a trip route you can reference as you're driving...GPS as a last resort or you could end up in the carpark of parliament house...... PS !!!! Is there a chip you can get yet that shows you truck/heavy vehicle routes??
I drive through there every day with a truck and it sucks it was kind of quiet when you drove past there usually it’s fucking horrible at that time I’m glad leaving Sydney end of the year gonna be good on my blood pressure 😂
Got into trouble from Mrs for shouting to get in right lane and turn for newcastle. I always still read the signs to check the GPS, real old guy who believes in nothing.
Shane, apart from those 2 missed turnoffs, you did well. For some reason my shouting directions at the screen didn’t seem to help you. Sorry. As a recently retired charter and school coach driver (lots of the company’s coaches seen in your video coming the other way through Turramurra, having just started their school runs), your feelings as expressed about poor signage resonated with me. We had to ensure that the night before going to any new destination or following any new route, thorough research was undertaken with Mr Google to get a picture in mind as to where we should be going. It didn’t always stack up with reality the next day however, particularly when there was a discrepancy between Google Maps, the roadside signs and what I could see (or not see) with my own eyes. Lost!
Sometimes when your gps is set on truck it will take you the long way to avoid roads that don’t take heavy vehicles,done a good job thou a lot of people would have lost their shit believe me been there as well mate great video.😅😅😅
Oi Shane, Whats under the Hood ?, what box of gears u got? Whats ur fav truck? Ever driven a Detroit? (I want 1 in a an old pickup just to annoy Greenies.
Been there, done that. I also had the stupid F thing tell me to do a u-turn right in the middle of the Bradfield Highway (Sydney Harbour Bridge). Err, I don’t think so. A healthy dose of forward planning and scepticism is necessary is necessary when using those things.
I'm surprised you don't use google maps on your phone, at least it's got live traffic too which can be a life saver sometimes. Also I bet you're happy you don't have to listen to that annoying fucking blind spot buzzer from the Freightliner anymore lol.
More than one tunnel. Sydney below the surface is Swiss cheese. From the top, North Connex tunnel, Epping tunnel, Lane Cove tunnel, Sydney Harbour tunnel, Cahill Expressway tunnel, Domain tunnel, Eastern Distributor tunnel, Cross City Tunnel, South Dowling St tunnels, Airport (General Holmes Drive) tunnel, Airport Gateway tunnel, M6 tunnels (under construction), M5 tunnel, M8 tunnel, West Connex tunnels and interchange, West Harbour Tunnel (under construction), Northern Beaches tunnel (postponed indefinitely at present).
At 35 im genuinely considering driving for a living, currently bucking and moving firewood but I've had enough and aint going back in to kitchens. Anything i should consider jumping in?
Loved coming for a drive with you Shane, thank you. The exhaust brakes in the tunnel wasn't bad either :P Even though we did get LOST lol
You were never LOST. You were just on a new adventure. Glad you got out alive and safe. 👍👍
He thought he was gone like an asian in a rip at Bondi.
@@partymanau 😆
It's bad enough getting lost in Sydney in a car. I can only imagine how stressful it would be in a semi.
LOST!
Or driving a bus with nearly 60 passengers! Crank up those sweat glands!
great effort
Newcastle on the sign, so not Lost.

Good on ya,Shane,you avoided the Meltdown by 2minutes,youre what Oz runs on.
Well that kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole 46mins. Great video and funny commentary. I enjoyed getting LOST with ya champ 👍
GPS does stop you getting LOST, but sometimes it takes you on some illogical routes. Good video, keep them coming.
Hi Shane, its not hard to get LOST in Sydney!!
Fark… as soon as I saw you heading left I knew you were entering a world of pain there…. LOST!!!
Happy to see the 80k speed sign but the 110 is going to be so much sweeter.
KEN brilliant. Have loved your vids for a while mate, keep em coming.
You wouldn't be the only one that has got LOST trying to get through Sydney.
Interesting to a non truck driver. Makes me more aware of the trucks around me. Who’s to say they’re not going thru the same thing. We need you guys on the road 😊
You are now officially a member of the Wherethefuckarewe Tribe. 👍
Yep! Middle lane. Gives you options.
Loved the ride especially the music coming through the tunnels. Reminds me of when I got LOST leaving Sydney one time moving back home away from the bloody traffic and chaos. You making music through the tunnel reminded me of when i drove my old 79 XD through the harbour tunnel many moons ago. Stay safe Shane
If you can read a map, the old UBD never got you lost
nothing better then the sound of a growling kenworth whilst being lost.
Gee Shane i envy ya and some o those sweet rides youve pulled.You lucky lucky bastard.

Use to run through Sydney all the time from 1999 to about 2008ish. Got LOST a lot.
I reckon your GPS is set to avoid tolls. It takes you that way or similar, to avoid tolls.
It's a shit when you missed that firt turn, I had a navman stopped using it as it keeped sending us on wild goose chances. Now I use GPS maps on mt phone set it to take toll roads & fastest route never had a problem now.

Love your vlogs mate. Husband is an interstate truckie and i watch your clips. Keep up the great work, telling my husband he should do the same... 👍😊
I'm an old Mechanic and Shane has taught me many words and phrases I missed out on during my trade. Love his work.
I'm LOST for words - unlike Shane ....
Kenworth definitely sounds better that fraightliner sounded like a vacuum cleaner plus one big up side no loud beeeeeeeeeep when you turn a corner
Been lost before and that's what it looked like my FARCARWEE GPS was no help

Thank god your brain didn’t get LOST 😂
I drive through there every day with a truck and it sucks it was kind of quiet when you drove past there usually it’s fucking horrible at that time I’m glad leaving Sydney end of the year gonna be good on my blood pressure 😂

Lost 👍 I had good laugh at watching someone else get lost for a change 🤣 get ur maps updated on ur Garmin 👍

Driving through my home town at Brighton Le Sands. Nah the roads haven’t changed in the past 15 years there mate just more bloody traffic
get yourself a better Navman Shane , it took you around the long way though Epping ha-ha , have a nice day wherever you are mate .
It's the law that when you go through a tunnel to jake that mofo
👍👍👍
It was fun sharing the Cab with you thru Sydney, it the rig yours or company?
I've used gps once in my life , i got halfway through the LCT and it told me to turn right now..... Turned the cnut off there and then.
Been there, done that. I also had the stupid F thing tell me to do a u-turn right in the middle of the Bradfield Highway (Sydney Harbour Bridge). Err, I don’t think so. A healthy dose of forward planning and scepticism is necessary is necessary when using those things.
You might have fucked up but the bonus is your Mrs isn't in the passenger's seat giving you directions!
thats fun
Felt your frustration
I'm surprised you don't use google maps on your phone, at least it's got live traffic too which can be a life saver sometimes. Also I bet you're happy you don't have to listen to that annoying fucking blind spot buzzer from the Freightliner anymore lol.
Ummmm LOST? 😂 Next time you’ll know huh. 😊
Isn’t there a tunnel now that goes under Sydney north/south?
Saves you getting LOST! 😂😂😂
More than one tunnel. Sydney below the surface is Swiss cheese. From the top, North Connex tunnel, Epping tunnel, Lane Cove tunnel, Sydney Harbour tunnel, Cahill Expressway tunnel, Domain tunnel, Eastern Distributor tunnel, Cross City Tunnel, South Dowling St tunnels, Airport (General Holmes Drive) tunnel, Airport Gateway tunnel, M6 tunnels (under construction), M5 tunnel, M8 tunnel, West Connex tunnels and interchange, West Harbour Tunnel (under construction), Northern Beaches tunnel (postponed indefinitely at present).
Google maps can’t even figure out Sydney roads mate.
At 35 im genuinely considering driving for a living, currently bucking and moving firewood but I've had enough and aint going back in to kitchens.
Anything i should consider jumping in?
Been there done that more or less.
