Thanks Brad, I found that most enjoyable. Although I was always destined to be a farmer, I had to work off-farm for over 20 years and was fortunate to work in the Forestry industry (in finance and admin) at Bombala, Tumut and Eden. I really enjoy riding shotgun with you and look forward to many more vlogs to come.
@@donmoreing2439 thanks mate. Yeah dad ended up in the trucks when the milk prices dropped. If it still payed good I’d probably be there still pulling teats instead of driving
Hello Brad Great vlog about your history and what you have done,it’s good to hear you were up here in the Newcastle area doing the Hunter Expressway,thank you for your history video was awesome
Absolutely loved this one. That Ute could’ve fit in at any Marcus Oldham college car park 😂. I would’ve crossed paths close to you many times when I worked in Abbotsford at a different brewery. It was constantly down at CUB for industry stuff. Ripper vid.
The good old 1969 TK Bedford growing up we had one on our little farm we ended up throwing a V8 perkins in her with a cattle crate on the back it wanted to jump trees when it wasn't overheating
@@craigtomkinson2837 I’d like to say I’ve enjoyed the sample box of chocolates, and not just looking for my fav Turkish delight to live off for the rest of my life. Unfortunately if I had my way it would be back operating and leave the driving for float work moving myself around
I thought ya was n X Pongo. I'm X Anchor wanker, 12yrs Aicraft mech on Skyhawk an Macchi. Thanks for your service Brad. Hope the year ahead is good to you. Stay safe travel well. Greg
@@theolfella-d2u ha ha thanks mate. While driving in the army let me see across a range of different corps I still regret not having gotten onto a ship for a look
Wow talk about a variety. I really wished i had of started my journey in the trucking industry when i was that age but now nearly 20 years wasted in the buses, oh well. Still i guess there's time. Absolutely now you are doing the cream mate, seriously why would you want to change, close to home, don't have to stay anywhere overnight, perfect i think.
Yeah mate I'm past it now but I still have a younger brother with a Multi-Combination license and he said the value is that he has a pick of jobs (not the extra money). He's about 65 now. Cheers.
@@manuelstarr3602 a 5 minute glance on seek confirms the variety is there for a Mc driver. The industry had bottleneck itself on carting more fright for less cost so the bigger combinations are here to stay and everyone’s looking for people to steer them.
That was brilliant, awesome photos and stories to go with them.
@@mmmmdeliciousbacon thanks mate
