Aussie Truckie on Highway 31
Aussie Truckie on Highway 31
Aussie Truckies haul everything everywhere. This is my little corner of the country, Highway 31, Sesame Street, The Great Southern Road, what ever name you have for it.
These are my Adventures as a truck driver in Australia, with my little single trailer and European truck.
I hope you enjoy the trip.
In the second video I explain the jack/brad name change, unfortunately I can’t change it on KZread for another two weeks.

Do you have a Yardman on site and if so why don’t they fuel the trucks to make it quicker or have a fuel tote on site for easy access?
Bloody ripper vlog cobber! Good mix of everything.
Thank you sir
Gday Brad, I doubt you’re ever out this way but just incase you ever are.. the best salad rolls I’ve ever had are at the Ampol Truckstop on the Geelong side of the Maltby bypass (exit to Werribee if heading east) They use a particular bread roll that’s incredible. 👍🏼
I won’t be mate but any viewers that do travel that way now know about it so thank you for sharing.
I hope by now you have you're truck back. Enjoying the vids as usual mate.
@@KYLIEMUIR yes mate have her back. Check out the community section I have a pic there for you
Gday Brad, enjoying your vids mate. What happens with your Chep pallets?? I noticed in Coolac they put 2 on but didn’t take 2. I normally exchange them every time and carry 10 with me always.
@@xxmotovlogs9809 yeah that’s how it usually works. I didn’t know I had those two to pick up so didn’t have any spares with me. Usually it’s just recorded and the next time a drop is made extra pallets are sent
@@xxmotovlogs9809 I know some places jump up and down when you don’t have a exchange, thier price is going up now hard wood timber isn’t a thing here now and new alternatives to cheap pallets aren’t lasting anywhere near as long. A lot of pine pallets here barely make two trips
@@Brad_The_Truckie yeah mate. We’re actually buying 2nd hand pallets now for our depot and seem to be much stronger than the new pine pallets. Cheps are a pain!
@@xxmotovlogs9809 I used to take them out of the green waste pile at the local tip and take to the nearest trucking company for $11
@@Brad_The_Truckie 👏😝👏easy money!
Thanks for an enjoyable video
@@richardferguson9380 thank you for watching
How awesome was this video. I loved the underground. It had me a little scared. I’ve always been afraid of a cave-in and being stuck there until I die.
@@RoadTrainAdventures mate it’s constantly going through my mind when down there. It’s not a metre or two digging a swimming pool, there’s 62 feet of rock and dirt above you, and it takes over 8 hours just to drill the 3ft hole down to your level. And then when the jack hammers start up and you can feel it through the rock you’re just waiting to see pieces fall from the roof. Im certified with confined space and working at hights, I don’t know how mining like this is allowed ha ha
@@Brad_The_Truckie yes. Once always wanted to go under ground when I deliver to those mines but unless I'm inducted I can't go under. I would feel OK with those underground spaces because they're set up for it.
@@RoadTrainAdventures yeah but even the company mines with all the safety in place still have cave ins.
Thanks
@@davidwilson9988 thank you so much
Stumbled across your channel, enjoying the ride along, thank you 👏👏
@@davidwilson9988 welcome sir and thank you for the kind comments
7:15 was that a case of an automated manual locking up the driveshaft at speed?
@@moblet can’t say for sure mate. All I heard was the box shit itself with the age of that Mack it might of still had a manual in it. At the top of that hill he might of been doing 50-60kms, which is why the skid marks are only a few metres long and he had no time to get to the emergency lane
Hi mate. This was really well put together and interesting. Great camp there too. I love it out in those remote areas. I’ve been to Coober Pedy and had a look around the opal mines and all the old equipment. Was great. Good to see the kids getting involved too mate. Well done. Good to see a bit of variety.
Thanks mate. There’s some great Aussie ingenuity out in places like that, whether it’s home made hoists, pieces together old trucks or caravans converted into huts. Doing the best you can with very little cost
Great Video Brad. Something different to show on the channel. Lightning Ridge, and a look underground in a mining claim were enjoyable.
@@VaughanMunro-js4nr thanks mate, it is something different and won’t get anywhere near as many views as on my camping channel. But this week we are back to work so stay tuned for Thursday
I can hear Ross Mully 😂
Ha ha how do you know the family?
Have a good satdie night 🍻
Thank you soo much. And thanks for watching
Welcome back Brad, aah the videos turn up when they turn up mate. Technology they say well we all know the response to that lololol
@@KYLIEMUIR ha ha thanks mate
No need to apologise Brad, if everything went to plan life would be boring. As you know in the transport industry if things go smoothly you look for the mistake you have made. All the best mate JD
@@johndodd1362 thanks mate, yeah things often don’t run smoothly for long
Hey Brad, what is your other channel, I tried looking for Budget Adventures to no avail.
@@philipjohnson8629 the budget adventure show. Or maybe just try Brad mull
@@Brad_The_Truckie Got it thanks Brad.
@@philipjohnson8629 cheers man, I have to re edit the recent trip away so it probably won’t get up until Monday
hey brother,good to see you back
@@danielbateman2840 thanks mate, like I never left ha ha
Yes mate watch you avidly along with Brad in FNQ, Johnno average Aussie trucker, Terry all over the place and Tony in WA driving for TOLL/ name change now, stay safe!!
Thanks mate
Wow I've never been into Gundagai and I'm always a single going through there. I usually just get Hungry Jacks but has that closed down now? I'll have to check out that Bakery.
Oh the hungry jacks is closed? I didn’t know that. Haven’t been in there for months
@@Brad_The_Truckie I thought you told us that in a previous video.
@@RoadTrainAdventures not me ha ha. When you go into gundi best to go down main drag and drop down to one of those side parking areas, that hill is a bit steep and wouldn’t want to try and take off from a stop at the top
@@Brad_The_Truckie Ok thanks. I'll let you know if I need a pull.
I really enjoy watching your videos and I can't wait to see your next vlog keep on trucking 🚛🚛👍👍
@@nickharding2926 thanks mate. Just had some time off and wanted to feature some old trucks but I don’t think I have anything good to share.
Hey everyone just a heads up Brad is on holidays with his feet up you lucky Bastard so if he doesn't reply to your messages straight away don't panic
Heah mate no sure if you were on road today. I was heading northbound and the fog stuck around til atleast 12
@@seanjohn5430 southbound on the newell currently heading home after holidays. I see the weathers still been cold so assuming the fogs been hanging around for some time
Hey Brad keen to check out the Gundagai bakery, good find especially after HJ's shut at Gundy sth. Healthier options also 👍 great video as always!
@@matthewwalter3423 thanks for watching mate, yeah I often go in there and I’m the only one there, mean while the coffee peddler down the street has people waiting out on the footpath for coffee. I had to laugh last week? A ladie came in asking if the mini pizza’s were vegan. The lady behind the counter replied no and as the woman walked out she said we only serve country food here ha ha. Who would want a vegan pizza
@@Brad_The_Truckie ha ha that's funny yeah they wouldn't even sell hardly any vegan pizzas even if they did make them. 🤣🤢
Hey Brad, when you reply you reply. There's something satisfying watching the straps being wound up in FF lol. Hope you had a great holiday and cool shots from the sides of the truck. You'll come back sunburnt lol
@@KYLIEMUIR I wish I could do them in FF all the time, less pain in the wrists ha ha. This morning was the warmest of the entire trip at about 20 degrees, so only sunburn is from the welder doing some small jobs on site. But with all the issues I had it was still great to get away for a week
Hi mate, loving the vids! I believe there’s another café there in Tarcutta called Joe’s. I’ve stopped there it’s pretty good but I think he’s closed on Friday. Drive safe mate
@@xxmotovlogs9809 thanks for watching mate, yeah unfortunately joes only opens occasionally at 10am, I’m usually in Tarcutta before then. Every time his open I see a heap of people there, I don’t know why he doesn’t open earlier and more days. I’ve sometimes had a parcel to deliver to there
@@Brad_The_Truckiecrazy how cafes don’t open at certain times, missing out on so much business. I’ve driven past there too when he’s shut😢
@@xxmotovlogs9809 yeah well there could be other factors at play, he might be retired with no bills and only opens as a hobby when he feels like it.
In the middle of that police convoy at 13:43 is an unmarked white car that was probably carrying some foreign dignatory. E.g. the Chinese premier visited Canberra in mid-June.
@@moblet yeah noticed the hsv commodore on a rewatch. Odd it was 5am though, unless they were training for later that day
@@Brad_The_Truckie Finally going back to the hotel with a dignatory who knows how to party? 🎉💃🙈
@@moblet ha ha if it was in Fyshwick that would of been my first thought
Great show mate. So it’s a bbq at your joint. Ill be there👍🍺
@@andrewkaras8001 will organise that one day
Keep up with your content. I absolutely love your content 👍👍👍 I do have a HC LICENSE but no one won’t give me a go
@@ryanlansom7951 keep looking around mate if they are after drivers they will give you a go
@@Brad_The_Truckiedo you do runs up B94 Burley Griffin Way?
@@ryanlansom7951 na mate never been along that stretch of road
@@Brad_The_Truckiethe highway 31 is my favourite road. I absolutely love driving on the Hume Highway. I should feature in your next video as your number one fan 😂
@@ryanlansom7951 I would say call me up the next time you see me but as most know that doesn’t end well :(
If anyone want to complain about how brad strapped those tyres down watch until the end of the video the tyres never moved
@@The_Aussie_Truckie yeah good point
Hey mate love the video just wondering how long is that owner driver news paper going to stay on the back wall it's been there since your very first video 😂
@@The_Aussie_Truckie ha ha I’ve never read it, the Melbourne driver put it there
Another top quality video Brad. Hope you wear the thermals in the cold brrrr. Hope you had a great holiday kinda a bit different in the temps though but will look forward to seeing you back behind the wheel
@@KYLIEMUIR thanks mate, trip got pushed back a week. Todays my last day but I’m stuck at Bunnings waiting a hour so far to Unload 10 pallets. Grrrrr
You tied the tyres up fine. I should know. Another great video. It’s been cold here in Perth too. I’m jealous that you still get to show the unloading. Ha ha. I pay for music subscription service so I don’t have music problems. When I first started making videos I got lots of royalty free music that worked great at first but then they got popular so started claiming my money. That’s when I started paying for that service.
@@RoadTrainAdventures you used a piece to open the Brisbane ride along video that I use. It’s not royalty free, I’ve got claims on a couple of videos even though I used it in almost all the videos
@@Brad_The_Truckie Yeah that's no good. I've never had a copyright strike but had claims for the ad revenue.
G'day Brad,doing it a bit hard at the moment and couldn't join you for the smoko club this month,be back soon enough to shout you a cuppa tho!!
All good mate you’ve already shouted me a few coffee’s, just enjoy the content and I’ll be happy
@@Brad_The_Truckie always loving the content but i do enjoy a cuppa tho
@@danielbateman2840 been crook so I didn’t stop for a cuppa at all last week.
@@Brad_The_Truckie nothing worse than driving while your sick,hope your feeling better before your trip away
@@danielbateman2840 yeah last Wednesday I don’t even remember driving to Canberra lol. Every joint aches, and the nose is red raw. Got to love winter
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
