    The easiest way to explain an 18spd gearbox to anyone is as follows.
    The gearbox is an 18spd, not 18 gears.
    What does that mean?
    Well, the gearbox has 6 actual gears. 4 main driving forward gears, 1 reduction gear (Crawler) and 1 Reverse gear.
    We have the following from the top left to the bottom right position (in a H pattern).
    Reverse - Top left
    "Crawler" - Bottom Left
    1st gear - Top Middle
    2nd gear - Bottom Middle
    3rd gear - Top Right
    4th gear - Bottom Right.
    R 1 3
    N
    C 2 4
    At the front of the stick, we have the range selector paddle.
    This allows the gearbox to jump up into high range. Using the same gears, but on a different ratio.
    We then have a splitter toggle which enables us to split the gear we are in, effectively it is an overdrive for each gear.
    So, to make up the 18spd, we have the following.
    1 - 1st gear (splitter back)
    2 - 1st gear overdrive (splitter forward)
    3 - 2nd gear (splitter back)
    4 - 2nd gear overdrive (splitter forward)
    5 - 3rd gear (splitter back)
    6 - 3rd gear overdrive (splitter forward)
    7 - 4th gear (splitter back)
    8 - 4th gear overdrive (splitter forward)
    9 - 1st gear high-range (5th gear) (splitter back)
    10 - 1st gear high-range (5th gear) overdrive (splitter forward)
    11 - 2nd gear high-range (6th gear) (splitter back)
    12 - 2nd gear high-range (6th gear) overdrive (splitter forward)
    13 - 3rd gear high-range (7th gear) (splitter back)
    14 - 3rd gear high-range (7th gear) overdrive (splitter forward)
    15 - 4th gear high-range (8th gear) (splitter back)
    16 - 4th gear high-range (8th gear) overdrive (splitter forward)
    Then we also have Crawler and high-range Crawler which gives us the final two speeds to make up the "18spd".
    Crawler gears are rarely used; as such, we don't typically use them in the shift stack when explaining the 18spd.
    But, for those wanting to know where they would slot in, low-range Crawler would be the first place and high-range Crawler would be between 4th gear overdrive and 1st gear high-range.
    As for the reverse, we have 4 speeds for reverse.
    Reverse
    Reverse Overdrive
    Reverse high-range
    Reverse high-range overdrive
    But we don't include reverse gears when stating how many speeds the gearbox has.
    It is also important to note that based in the weights you are carrying, you do not need to go through the shift stack with all splits.
    For example, when I am driving the B-Double at 62t, I typically shift the following way (on level ground)
    2nd gear
    4th gear
    4th gear overdrive
    1st gear high-range
    1st gear high-range overdrive
    3rd gear high-range
    3rd gear high-range overdrive
    4th gear high-range
    4th gear high-range overdrive
    It isn't the fastest way to get to 100kph, but it is less shifting and doesn't see the motor constantly running its rev range.

    As you said, you have to be comfortable with your own company and have confidence in your ability to deal with the unexpected to be a long haul driver.

I'm never happier than when I'm on the open road and have probably driven something like 2M kms in the last 40 years (you guys probably do that in a few years), lots in a 4WD, lots at home around Sydney and a ton of motorbike touring (have even flown small planes for a while).

    @peternewman958 4 месяца назад +4

    People who aren’t familiar with road trains the most important thing when it is coming towards you is to watch the last trailer.
    This is because if the dog being the truck and the trailers in between it and the last trailer move around because of a large pothole etc then the dog will wag the tail and that last trailer can move about considerably .
    So don’t just power along when a RT approaches Exercise caution and watch carefully especially on rough roads.
    Its always better to slow down and move over to give the truck plenty of room.
    They cannot slow down as fast as a car or 4wd etc.

      Tongue in cheek but, referring to potholes, we are talking about Australia and not UK!
      I've driven the entire circular highway around Australia and also the Stuart Highway from Darwin to Adelaide and was pleasantly surprised at the surface condition of them all, no 'tram lines', potholes or corrugations in spite of their constant use by road trains often weighing more than a hundred tonnes. The Great Northern in particular, from Perth to Port Hedland, was one long, even and unbroken surface. I've also followed many roadtrains and have never seen any deviations, far more, in fact, from 4x4s towing caravans.

    Once you cross into WA let Micheal drive since you don’t need a log book.
    Not much weight on that load, got to be happy no tarping strap & go.
    Hope you are well Johno, what going on much freight at the moment, we have been smashed with container work so plenty of OT.
    Hope to catch up soon, great video take the Wilmington Rd & through the cutting this time.
    Stay safe out there.
    Cheers

    G'Day Jonno. When you stopped for a shower @ 26 minute mark, there was a noisy banging noise at idle. Sounded like a big end bearing to me. I spent many years riding as a passenger (hitch-hiking in my 20's) and picked a lot, like flashing your lights after a truck has passed you in the same direction. Flashing also to indicate you are going to pass. Blinking left, right, left, to say thanks for the flash etc. I wonder if Mike noticed you doing any of that... I drive a Tesla (car) these days, and I can't wait to see Tesla semis on the roads here. It might take a while before you could do a drive like yours though ! Regards, Greg.

      Thank you for that; my campervan trip also took in Ceduna and Port Augusta but I must've missed those roadhouses unless they're new/revamped since 2013. I've driven the sealed A1 highway around entire Australia and the Stuart highway Darwin to Adelaide and, as I'm a retired UK truck driver, called in at every roadhouse to check out and take photos of the road trains.
