Great delivery location. I've been up the other side where the new wind farm was being set up. I love it when you pull out on front of the caravan. So many of them have done that recently to me.

Yeah those wind farms went up quick. And now there’s cranes going back in because 4 of them need new gear box’s. So many resources and fuel being burned just to be green

Another great video Brad from Australia biggest Ute driver

Thanks mate

When doing a hard left out onto the highway like that, I used to do two things...if I had line of sight, I would sit back about 10 metres and start a run before the last car went past (it can spook some car drivers). The other thing I did was use my hazard flashers as I pulled out. It seems to give oncoming drivers a better sense of perspective, distance and speed differential, and until I got up to full road speed, then I would turn them off :) I'm enjoying your videos, I get to see all the side road bits.

Thanks mate, it’s hard in places like that with no merging lane. Last week the other Canberra truck went in there and the fog was like pea soup. I don’t know how he got back on the highway in one piece

Onya for carving up the caravan.

I honestly haven’t had to stop to use one. I’d aim for the bigger towns, more likely there’s cleaning staff there compared to Tarcutta, gundi and Jugiong. I know Yass cleaned things up a while ago but I haven’t been in there for months. Sorry I can’t be more help.

Depends on the run. There’s a couple of past jobs I’d never do again but that’s just me. For the most part, getting paid to see the country is a great thing. The regulations are insane at the moment, so as long as you do the right thing it’s okay. I haven’t been pulled over by the police in the 14 months I’ve been back on the hwy, and only pulled into a weigh bridge once so get away with a bit more then most…..

@@pokers112 depending where you are in Aust I think you still need to get your hc before you can go mc. And in my honest opinion the step up in pay for the second trailer isn’t worth the hassle which is why I’ve refused to do it for so long. You’re making the company more money by carting extra freight. But I’m sure there’s some good paying companies out there.
