Nice video of cars and semis climbing on the hill on that curvy, winding road on a windy day. Hawkes Bay region in New Zealand looks nice. New Zealand is a country I need to go to one day.

[@edwardpate6128]

Love seeing those cabovers! Not many of them on the road in the US any more!

Thank you so much for sharing this super video greetings from a virtual truck driver from Switzerland

Great scenes there of them on the hill climb...

[@orlinlozano6411]

amazing truck 👍👍👍

[@rodjones482]

I've watched heaps of your videos. Many thanks for time an effort it takes to make them.

[@williamdavids5915]

I remember well travelling over the "old track" Taupo to Napier many years before the new road put in through the deviation...... The hill road was notorious on motorists!

[@susanwylie9890]

Thanks for this...it’s nice to watch the road and not drive it like I did last weekend. A dramatic drive...a real drive...and always a relief to get to the end. My respect for the truckers who drive it every day!

2001 First time I drove this road at the wheel i was 14 years old, was in a brand new Mack CH 470 hp bulk truck and trailer , early hours of the morning, the old man sleeping in passengers seat. From stag park all the way to Awatoto/Clive, Napier.

Very good Video.

[@debbieerceg5261]

Don't see any cops on this stretch of road which there's alot of accidents on this road. Quite alot of tailgating look at cars driving too close if those trucks were to brake well goodbye to the car. People use your road rules. Trucks have a long haul so be wise people be safe.

[@audreyaugust6806]

Scary if one of those big buggers up your puttutti lol. Always have respect for your fellow drivers and be patient people.

Another top video Will, shame about the wind, the view from the summit is pretty good though.

[@ryangeraghty8707]

Looks like the Titis are holding up pretty good this season

[@yourinternetbiznes4107]

So much power from the American trucks, climbing easily.

[@ElysiumNZ]

Yeah they’re quite popular with the logging and livestock transport companies. Apparently they’re good at off-road driving or something like that.

[@peterteohaere4986]

Its a dangerous road to drive even in a car even in summer causes theres alot of black ice on the rd especially coming down either end of the summit. It was even worse in the earlier years causes parts of that Napier Taupo rd didn't excist alot of it came during the 1990s .It use to be more windy and narrower and steeper.

[@abc-ke2yq]

there is nothing wrong with the road just drive to the conditions and you will be fine the majority of deaths and accidents on the Napier Taupo road is human error

[@myresponsesarelimited7895]

Drove it twice every night, in the winter you can almost be sure it's raining somewhere through their, but it's not too bad, it's a cool road, I like it, keeps the mind busy, wish I had a dollar for every truck that quit climbing the cafe side of the summit 😆 the waipungas is the worst of it.

[@MZEMZU]

Tis true that there can be black ice, especially where the sun don't shine but slow down and drive to the conditions. It's an enjoyable road but some newly planted trees are beginning to block the panoramic view of Napier on the summit before heading south to Te Pohue.

Ahh bales of merino wool, we used to import a lot of that when I worked in the textile industry in Yorkshire 20 years ago.

[@theellwoods2034]

I did wool baling for a few months just out of high school. That was hard, dirty, smelly work, but the beer afterwards was great.

[@stephendickson9000]

Probably cross bred or half bred up there.

[@fandangololo1855]

[@fractalign]

Does New Zealand build its own trucks ? All these twin steer cabovers look different to the ones we have in Aussie.

Why so many normal road trucks with dual front axles? Do you have some special weight regulations in NZ?

[@jamesgollan8602]

spread the load over 4 axles, better weight distribution than over three axles, cart cart 29 tone and with permits up to 35 and over

This will sound silly, but why do they have such long draw bars and gaps between trucks n trailers, dont think they do in europe?

[@willbishoptrucksnewzealand3826]

Hi the bulk trucks can jack knife and unload without having to unhook

[@James47298]

@@willbishoptrucksnewzealand3826 are I see now it makes sense

[@tutekohe1361]

Also to creat correct axle grouping distances.

[@alliswell3372]

Also the roads in Nz are not that straight as they have in USA and Europe. It's also easy to maneuver on bends. Imagine those 53 feet trailers in NZ. It will create chaos on small roads

The top of the Titiokura saddle

[@myresponsesarelimited7895]

For a while I thought truckies had nicknamed it the titties until someone used it's full name over the radio one night😆 Most of the video is on the northern side heading up, just around that corner is a little straight to that bit filmed on the top, just between those two points a truck burned to ground and closed the road, there was a huge scorch mark up the side of the cutting for ages, I ended up getting diverted over the saddle rd ....that was a long night that would've blown my log book to pieces had I told the truth.😖🤐😁

[@plantjj]

Why the double steering axles. Is it part of the law or something?

[@ElysiumNZ]

Yeah axle weight laws. Though some drivers say they do have benefits such as good steering in tight turns and safer if one of the steering tyres blow out.

[@stephenbrockett710]

That’s so the drivers can read the newspaper whilst steering with their bare feet.No problems with sure footed ness with these rigs.
