3 1/2 Days In A Road Train - It's Back
Ойын-сауық
With over 202,000 views to date I had to pull it from my KZread Channel, but it is back.
Join Mark and myself as we take you on our 3 1/2 day weekly Road Train run from Adelaide in South Australia up to Darwin in the Northern Territory before returning back to Adelaide to complete the 6,000km plus round trip. We leave on the Wednesday night and return on the following Sunday morning, so jump aboard and enjoy the ride.

Thanks mate, it is like riding a push bike, once you have done it a few times, it is easy.
I watched one of your caravan videos once where you had that little cartoon of a car with a caravan behind riggling behind on this miniature road map, just like the double decker buses cartoons of London, and your houseboat adventure on the river Murray. Mick I am 77 years old, I have been in Adelaide since Jan 1969, have driven a semi for Karri timbers a little bit, a truck for Cocks Foyes, and a 6 ton Thames for Black and white taxi trucks at mile end, yet I finished clothing designing college in Sydney, where did the time go, and So soon to, things are changing So fast, yet Truck diving still stays the same, and without you guys everything seems to dwindle down to nothing again, thank you again for your videos Mick, and keep up your good work.

At 8:35 mark it looks like you had a strap come off a trailer coming out of the depo. I remember as a teenager watching a driver backup a triple like this around a corner and then around into the block of land we were building a house on and the last trailer had all the roof frames on it. Everyone was in awe of the drivers skills and he made it look easy while many of the old boys waiting to unload it where talking trash towards the driver after he told them he could do it. They all ate their words lol.

I had left my work gloves sitting on a dolly and it was the gloves that you would have seen falling off onto he ground. Reversing a road train, two or three trailers requires a lot of skill. Something you need to be doing all the time or you tend to become very rusty at it.
Nice professional video, thanks for the insight into Roadtrains and Australia.

i went to Australia as a kid and my favourite memory was just as we were coming off the nullabor plain from Perth to Adelaide we came to the territory checkpoint as the sun was just coming up and saw all the big rigs waiting to cross with their stacks smoking and i hope to go again because there is nothing more majestic than seeing a road train crossing the beauty of Oz.
First time ever seeing a road train (opening scene of crocodile dundee) i was absolutely amazed, been a fan every since.
I have seen the beautiful 🎥 film verry-verry nice and what a amazing truck soooooo big and the colors and chrome work my compliments the land is so BIG again: manny thanks for the film greetings j.j Nieberding from the 🇳🇱 Netherlands

14:39 for all those who like an innuendo moment :P Just got my HGV licence in UK, though I would love to do this kind of truck driving, I imagine those long straight roads test your mental ability to stay awake, and I expected the turnings to be challenging but the three trailer doesn't need as much room as I thought, great vid.

Mick, good I watched 3 1/2 days in a Roadtrain, I got to know you retired, I wanted to come to ABC Transport in Adelaide and say hello to you after I watched 7 1/2 days in a Roadtrain, I met Jeffrey Bull from Bulls Transport Pty in rehab at Hamstead road rehab center in Oct/Nov in 2019, Great man he was, he tried very hard to keep himself positive because somehow he must have known he didn't have much time left, it was very very hard to know the time came, he died at home I think few days after being let to go home. Mick you Truckers are Great people, you drive through though sealed roads, the country around you in Australia is still very uninhabitable in most places and very unpredictable nearly all the time, when I was little I went to school with Aboriginals in La Perouse Botany Bay Sydney in the 50's, I hope you and Sally have a GREAT day today, and thank you for your Christmas greetings, I hope you two have the VERY BEST too.

The scenery reminds me of the territory I cover in our Great Plains states... 28 years here and now hauling blades and other oversized loads. It seems to be where a lot of old-school drivers end up, for the kids coming out of our driving schools these days often act like they're driving a sports car. Nice looking truck, by the way... It makes me miss the Peterbilt 379 I came out of into a KW T800, though I don't miss all the polishing lol. Thanks for sharing and be safe out there.
