Why a 2 axle dolly and not a triple?

[@mohitjeetsingh7765]

triple dolly is mainly used for super heavy loads like fuel and mining. I guess it is just economical to used tandem instead of triple dolly, also govt. regulations might play a role.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very good question with a very good answer above.

[@terryjacobson7325]

Vic road only allows 2 axle dollies in Victoria

[@fluke1464]

No inductions, no PPE, no traffic controllers etc etc etc 😂 Just making it happen now that’s productivity ! Awesome safe travels

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Just get it done. That used to be the Australian way. Now health and safety got in the way the same job costs 10 times more.

Bonjour -- Merci pour les explications sur les différentes remorques ainsi que les TRUCK AUSTRALIEN superbe vidéo Bonne route et Bonne continuation -- Alain --- FRANCE

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks again Alain

[@michaelclayton1827]

The tree removal! Spot on 👍. There are many times things have to be done and waiting for the "Powers that be", won't happen.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You got it. Just get in and get the job done.

[@MrHorsePony]

Another great video thank you Johnno, keep up the good work and Stay Safe.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks heaps

Nice one Johnno! 👍🏻

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks

[@mikaelaprince2188]

Now that's great team work guys without you truckies the road would have been blocked for possibly hours..johno I hope that your son had a great b/day..best always kaela 😊 when will you be in the mildura area.😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes he had a great birthday. I'm not sure when I'll be passing Mildura. It will be when I go to Perth next which may not be until the end of next week.

[@mikaelaprince2188]

Ok that's cool 😎 thanks 😊

[@longship789]

Great team work on clearing the tree. The chain made short work of the bulk of it.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

It sure did

[@user-ft8wr6le8d]

Howdyyawl from the land down under. Not many people or road users would know what is what on a semitrailer. Its nice to see someone is willing to show the workings. It would be nice if more road users were educated to give trucks & drivers more credit on the road. Without you people noyhing would get where it's going. Thanks. Keeping it real 😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. Thanks for your kind words. I hope it mashes a difference for us all.

[@zigstar69]

How Australian is that, fallen tree, pull it out the way with a TRUCK. awesome.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

For sure. Just get the job done

[@r.t.aaustralia5142]

[@nickk5731]

Nice to see all your keepers on outside. Be good if you did short vid telling others they should and why

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes. I don't do many shorts.

[@jackdawg4579]

interesting that not one person in that queue had a saw on board!. I used to always carry a saw when i worked on properties in the bush, trees and limbs over roads were not an every day item, but they happened often enough to make it worth while to carry the saw.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

It is the country. Also no one else came up to help.

[@terrysadventure1529]

Don’t know how much you come on fallen trees , but that was lucky the guy had fork truck , you should carry a cheap chainsaw with you , but you all made short work of it , just as well that monsoon stoped , take care till the next one 😊

Interesting position to place the air bag dump valve , a tyre blow out could damage it .

Yes. Most of our dollys have that button in a different spot. I've never had a problem yet though.

[@greyjay9202]

Notice the bull bars? Those things are the real deal. Great job, clearing the road.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Jay. Yes most of our trucks that travel the country have these.

Enjoyed that, and welcome back. Learned a lot about trailer parts, ta. Where was the tree down? Didn’t catch the name of the town you were driving through in the rain.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

That was Yea in Victoria

Our base is in Deniliquin

[@MarkWilliams-sf9pd]

Great video Johno

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very nice. Thanks Mark

[@AdventraSX6]

Really interesting channel youve got here. One thing ive often wondered is what sets apart a road train prime mover from a standard b double one? Given the weights etc wondered if the specifications are significantly different for the drive train/chassis etc?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Most of the time a double and double road train prime mover is no different. It's only when you start pulling more trailers and heavier weights does the diff get bigger.

[@rickthelian2215]

Nice work, damn headlight😊

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Rick. I got that replaced now.

[@KYLIEMUIR]

Another learning lesson to put in the memory banks. How was your weekend Johnno. How was the birthday?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

The birthday was great. It's still the weekend for us being a public holiday today.

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

A great, informative video !!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very nice. Thanks heaps

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

Watch this Austrailians do not rely on fire and rescue departments they solve the problems by themself

I'm not sure if you're saying that in a good way or not.

Great video Johno! 4 years driving rigids and I never realized that side lights are bi-directional 🤦🏻‍♂ Question: I notice your angles aren't strapped down. Do you get any grief about this at inspection stations?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Can you tell me which angles or where you saw them?

[@workwithjoshua]

@@RoadTrainAdventuresYes, at the 5:25 mark - angles in the toolbox.

They are secure in the toolbox. Nothing can fall out

[@louiskats5116]

G’day Johno, That Detour Transport Big Cab Cabover looks absolutely awesome with the twin tanks. When you are towing just a dolly do you discount the blue line so the dolly doesn’t bobcat under hard braking ? Cheers Louis Kats 👍

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes when towing a dolly only I turn off the tap to the blue pipe so the brakes don't apply when I brake.

[@louiskats5116]

@@RoadTrainAdventures 👍

[@coptotermes]

Why do some trailers have a block behind the pin and some don’t?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

That's for a turntable called a 'ball race'. That turntable turns unlike most that are static.

[@manjulamail]

Hi Jono, would you explain us about different type of turn table next. Thanks

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

OK. I'll see if I can make a video on that.

[@michaelclayton1827]

I have a question Johno! Why have wipers on KW's never been improved? They honestly are crap! Agree or disagree?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

These work well but I don't replace them as often as I should. I get the most out of them.

[@peterlosangelos4108]

QUESTION ANYONE: Are red and blue airhose acting on the same brakedevices on the wheels?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes. The maxi and brake is in the same device.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

There are two parts to the brake chamber. The back half is the maxi or spring brake and the front half is the section that is controlled by your foot. They are independent till the maxi is applied and then it pushes the service brake on. On the front or steer there is only the service brake chamber. Very simple and clever system that is cheap to maintain. If you can hear a big air leak when the foot brake is applied there is a hole in a diaphragm. They are all controlled by air tanks on the trailers and relay valves so they all work at the same time. There would be a delay before the brakes on the trailers came on otherwise. Jeff

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very good detail in your explanation

[@astonmcleod5344]

Hi Jonno, Check out 'Jemma Warren' a UK truck driver, similar positive attitude to yours. Loves the trucks and does not moan.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh OK. I'll check her out

[@agd7159]

Yeh I watch her videos too. She gets around the uk alright. Just plods on day after day for a whole week away. Some lovely English country scenes and some tight farm yards and mill yards. Also look at Becky Giles transporting livestock up north . Its a good watch too.@@RoadTrainAdventures

Do you know what they do over here when there's a tree over the road? Drive around it quick if they can.Ore Wait for the fire brigade to come and saw him into pieces. I would love the bush/outback/country trucking and the way you guys handle things. No bullshit,Just handle it and solve it. Somthimes i tryd to solve some things like that. But than some other ''truckers'' came and sayd,dont do it noooooo,becose of insurance and some arguments that came up and were made up just not to do it. We dont have so much truckers anymore. Maybe the older truckers. They just spoild drivers. I cant be a part of that. Sorry for say it.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

You got it. In Australia we just get the job done unless health and safety people come and make trouble. Then the whole job takes 10 times longer.

[@MarioVanDerMaas]

@@RoadTrainAdventures he says, Then the whole job takes 10 mi longer. hahaha love thats the way to do it.💪 Not to much talk ore pointless discussions. Just get it done. They are good at pointless discussions. Especially people from the office. Ho arnt at the job side.
