Amazing video. I love seeing how other countries do trucking compared to America. Can't wait to see more.
Looking forward to future vids from you mate, wish I would have had the guts to do that 30yrs ago, big respect 👍
Thanks 👍 I am loving it, thanks for watching.
Well said mate 👍
The green conveyer on the Port Lincoln wharf , My partners uncle was one of the engineers when it was built
It’s standing the test of time, a fantastic bit of engineering, still serving the dock to this day!
Awesome content dude👍🏻
Different industry but I came out here in 2003 on a 417 and haven’t looked back. There’s a few other channels on here including homeless trucky that you might want to have a look at. Thanks for helping out. We are so short of truck drivers currently. Hope you get to make some good coin and have an adventure too. I’ll keep a eye out for future vids.
One day I will get to Oz. I want to drive a Road Train! I lived in China and lost my UK HGV Class 1 licence at age 50, because DVLA require a European doctor to certify the paperwork. Interesting video, thanks for making it. Stay safe. Best wishes from Bangkok.
Hello Mate. Great video. Formerly from London now living in Houston, TX. Show us more of the trailers if you can as you go along. Interestingly there are a few states here in the USA that allow road trains (3 trailers) on the interstates.
Fantastic video mate love road trains and Scania’s great insight into the work you do, I’m now a subscriber keep them coming mate and stay safe 👍🤟
Great vid mate. Good to see you're living the dream. 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Clive, hope you are well and keeping the flag flying at you know where😂😃👍
Well done. I enjoyed it, keep doing the videos
Cracking vlog,glad I've found you! I spent 8 weeks in Perth back in 2000,and kept finding myself at the BP truckstop at Keydale. Had a class one since 1990,wish I d moved now! My sister and brother in law are in Adelaide. Steve my brother in law is on the spanners for Scania,who moved them over from the UK and they love it. Keep the vids coming,stay safe.
This is fantastic mate, keep up the fantastic job
I'm from the US and I'll be going to drive there soon hopefully
Nice video Fin, just subscribed hope everything goes well for you, your young and willing to learn 👍.
Great video... thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing your next blog. Greetings from a UK trucker / farmer in Spain 👍🍷
Thanks, I’m glad you like the video😃
Good to see the job out there 👍I've been out in Canada 14yrs now on long haul wish I'd gone to Aus now sick of the winters here 😂 keep the vids coming 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it. You’re a full blown ice road trucker now! I hope my videos will provide a bit of Australian sun in the Canadian winter.
Thanks for watching.
This was my twentieth winter driving in Canada, and as much as I love it here, if I could do it all again, I'd go do it in Australia or New Zealand.
Love from Bangladesh ❤❤❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Great video Fin, I recognised the truck from harvest time while I was carting in our own grain to the Port Lincoln Grain Terminal. But only get to drive a single trailer (for now), but hoping to upgrade to 2 trailers in the future. Liked hearing your driving tips for going around the roundabouts; any other tips you can give out on future videos about the different driving techniques would be a great lesson to learn, as I noticed this year there were a lot more drivers on the roads which have only just upgraded from single to road train licenses. Keep up the good work. Those ships will keep coming right up to the start of next harvest 👌👍🙂
Cheers Darren! Thanks for watching!
Good luck on the upgrade and hope to see you out on the road mate!
Living the dream Fin
Cheers Mark! Loving it.

Thank you for a great video. Wow I never thought a train would do a round about. I am from Australia. My father and a lot of the family were truck drivers. Just wish I had done it. I always liked driving.
Looking forward to more. Stay safe
Hello from an 80 yr. Old retired Trucker. Note the capital. T in Trucker because we all deserve it. We haul the life line for the world. Every thing you have was most likely got to you by a truck. I have been a Trucker for most of my 40 yrs. of working prior to my retirement in Sept. Of the year 2000.
Your right! 99 of everything we own has been made n the back of a Truck at some point. Thanks for all your years of hard work. Look after yourself, Fin
Nice vid Fin. Living the dream 🤙🏻

Cheers old mate!
Hi from an Australian who lives and works in France. Great video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Very familiar young pom driver. I drove WA diesel road train nearly 20 years ago. Most tractors/prime movers were not cab over units, so that stray kangaroos/camels/steers did not end up wrapped round the driver's knees. Please more on your rig, checking couplings, airlines etc. Do you do a hard brake check first? Can you do a coupling turntable locking pin from the cab so that emergency reversing of the whole rig is possible?
Hi first time to view your travels I follow trucker yogi ,,Steve Graham both tron Australia ,,
Hello, my name is Robert from Manchester but been living in Qatar in the Middle East since 2010. I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind me asking. What is your name as some call you Fin and others call you Finno. The 2 videos I’ve watched I don’t think you’ve mentioned your name, and where in the UK are you from. Can I also ask, which part of Australia are you based, which town village city. Can I also ask, now that you are there, how is your accommodation ? Are you renting sharing ? How far from your depot do you live and what is life like there for socialising ie beers, food, stores and community etc etc. thanks for taking the time on the video about how to get to Australia and training etc etc
Good day Fin, Nice blog but can you get some work done now please😂 Dad 😊👍
Hahaha Cheers Dad😃👍
Howdy from a (hopefully) future American trucker. I always did find them road-trains to be quiet fascinating.
Good on you fella! Good luck on your goals mate, stay truck’in
@@youngbritishoutbacktrucker as they use to say back in the older days here in America. Thats a big 10-4 good buddy.
Spent some time driving a 9 axle low loader combo up in the Pilbara in 94. Running plant out to Tom Price. Time of my life. Came back and did 10 years of European tipper work. Best of luck to you mate! Subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing, I appreciate the support, sounds like you had your hands full back in the nineties! I regularly pass 7.8 metre wide loads of BHP mining equipment out towards Wiluna & Leinster.
Thanks for watching😃👍
AWESOME MATE
Cool. I'm really interested in trucking in Australia. Completely the opposite to where I do my trucking on 9x5 mile Jersey 😅
Good luck in your journeys

Seriously thinking of makeing the leap
Hello Sham, please drop me a message. I would love to help
Hello my friend, it is not allowing me to leave my email address. How can I contact you?
Not allowing me to leave my email , how can one contact you? I have followed you on Tik Tok but won’t let me send message as you do not follow me is the reason given. Have a great evening
Hey mate, what company is this for ? I'd like to apply there. Cheers
Hey mate great video,watching from Perth WA but originally from Dublin. Just got a question for you, when you tip the grain at the terminal do you have to disconnect each trailer/dolly or does the grain just flow out over the dollys?
Glad I've found your channel pal, I'm a UK fuel tanker driver, hoping to be over to perth next year. I know that each state are different but are you aware if WA have the same policies as Queensland in regards to licence conversion etc? Look forward to more videos and if theres a chance I could get you on socials that would be great pal.
All the best
Alex from Widnes
Hello Alex, I am fairly certain they are the same in WA but I could be wrong. Check your my Facebook or Instagram Alex and if you ever need a hand email my email or DM me mate.
@@youngbritishoutbacktrucker cheers drive 🤙🏼
I'm an ex UK fuel tanker driver as well , so not sure how your getting in to Australia but good luck to you hope it works out.
A lot of UK drivers start off in NZ then once they have citizenship then they can get a job in OZ..
I came out to NZ 15 years ago as they had a shortish of fuel tanker drivers because a lot of Kiwis were leaving NZ to work in OZ.
I've been retired now for 4 years & was talking to an ex driver & he was saying there often looking for drivers & the thing now is there are a lot of Indian drivers getting on the fuel , there like your polish in the UK.
Also the shifts out here in NZ are a lot harder than back in the UK..
Kiwis do like to work hard & were know as lazy brits..
@@Private-gy8nk hi bud, my wife is an Australian citizen so hopefully coming over on a PR visa. I'm 29 and very much up for a hard days work 😁 I will aim for the fuel companies but am open to lots more
@@alexmorrison8077 I guess your half way there then as your wife is an Australian citizen..
You have your age as an advantage it will be a great adventure the only thing you will regret is if you don't do it & im sure once your in Oz you will love it..
A lot of brits who use the route of getting citizenship in NZ then go to Oz say its far better over in Oz the wages are better & most things are better so good luck & hope you never have a shandy (crossover)..
Could you go straight through to give her that classic scania V8 roar?
hey Fin. great video. i would really like to know what kind of milage u get out of the V8 with those kind of loads?
I'm guessing that truck is an auto? Like the little cutout in the stone guard, is that for the dashcam?
PS. Re the roundabout, always handy to not have some tosser try and duck down your blind side. 😂😂
It is indeed, the cut out of for the Scania forward facing camera !
There’s nothing worse than someone nipping down your blindside as we all know !
Thanks for watching 😃
Good coin out there mate? I'm a truckie from brisbane.
That was from littlest sis❤
Great video 👍can you do one on the logbook that you use in oz ?
I will include it in my next video!
I'm also a class1 UK driver looking to do the same as you, any hints or tips please would be very much appreciated 🙏 keep up the good work 👏
Thanks for watching Daniel, have a watch of the first video which has the licence conversion process detailed.
Great video. Ay up from Russ in hillam north Yorkshire. What happens to your uk liecence. To you have to doba aus truck test. Or can you use your uk.
Is the pay any better than the uk.
Keep going.
Russ 👍
Hello russ, if you drop me a message or email I’d love to help
How long it will take to change UK license to AUS license? I have the same plan, but i´m from Norway with full truck licenses.
Hi there. Do you not use a tacho card in aus? How is this regulated?
Awesome vid Finn, I'm a brit trucking in Canada, Oilfield B Train tankers, how was the immigration/visa process getting to Oz?
Thank you Jonny, I have a video on my channel, all the process is there. Keep on Truck’in!
These 417 visas are such a great opportunity if you gain the right skills like you have done. You can see the country and earn proper money while doing it. It is a buzz. I came to Australia from the UK in 2006 and went to Kalgoorlie to get work in the mines. Do you think you will be able to transfer onto a 457 visa and then residency at the end of three years? I reckon it would be a huge come down to have to go back to UK wages and conditions after Australia.
I’d hope to stay!
Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed your time in Australia.
Hi mate great video im in Australia from the uk about to start swapping my licence over do you know if the state makes a diffrence? Watched your other video to!
I am not 100%, but they are all
Fairly similar, if I can point you to my first video, I explain the whole process:)
I wanna learn how to drive a truck
Great work with these videos mate. I’m looking into doing this myself and would love to ask you a few questions. What license/experience did you need to find a job there?
Hello jack, please send me a message, I would love to help
Ayup I watched your first video I passed with bassets last year been on the containers ever since I take my hat off to you for going out there you said you haven’t got a tacho what are the rules on driving an how do you record your hours log book ? Safe driving pal
Ahh I loved doing my Class 1 & 2 with bassets, I will show the logbook in the next video!
@@youngbritishoutbacktrucker it’s gonna be a massive change when you come back to the uk you from Stoke then ?
What's the pay like?
Is there a path to staying in aus for ever through this or will you have to go back to the UK after 3 years?
It’s all quite circumstantial but there are way to stay!
Would you get paid a lot yearly for this?
Great video mate 👍 very interesting and informative 👍 how long have you been in Australia? Are you from Nottinghamshire? Thought I could tell by your accent any cheers keep up the good work 👏
Thank you very much :) I am from Cheshire:) not a million miles from notts, done a lot of work round there.
In my 4th month now in aus .
I'm from Knutsford, where are you from. Now living in Thailand@@youngbritishoutbacktrucker
Great video man! How many hours a day do you work normally?
Hi, it all depends but usually between 10-15 hours depending on the run.
Thanks for watching
Great video. Good info into the day to day. How's the grub ? Try to be a good boy, and stay away from Hungry Jack's. 😅
How's the wildlife. I was on the goldcoast for a while. Missing it big time.
Until the next one. Keep it safe
Thank you very much. Out in the outback the grub can be a bit greasy, servo’s etc, but out in SA it’s all good, able to nip to Cole’s etc.
Wild life is insane, roo’s, lizards. Thanks for watching, big stuff coming in the next.
@Young British Outback Trucker UK 🇬🇧 and Ireland 🇮🇪 are on the same time. 5 to 12 on a Saturday night. Just on WhatsApp with my nephew, who is in the goldcoast . I'm subscribed, so I'll be looking forward to your uploads. I fell in love with the country when I was there. I've subscribed to a few other sites in Australia, all to do with truckin.
Keep it safe, see on the next one
Transport jobs in Australia " utube
