Millenial truck driver here. You can really learn a lot from these old hats such as Jonno. Shame a lot of 'em are retiring as time goes on. But to learn how to drive manual (10-13-18-speed) and also be "raised" by old school truck drivers, is a blessing. A lot of the time they're just like Jonno in terms of humor and just enjoying what he does and fill in any questions anyone might have. Good video and great spotlight on the industry. I might be in the states, but the mindset is truly universal.

@@RoadTrainAdventures In case anyone ever reads this. I myself thought this life could be for me. When Johnno was explaining how it can be stressful to learn the realities of the job, he's not by any means kidding. It can be hard to get homesick and be days away from being able to see family. Every moment of free time you have outside of working is meant for sleep because every moment you don't spend driving is lost money. Keep in mind that while you're driving all of your attention is given to the road. This leaves very little free time to actually build or mend connections. Don't get me wrong. Driving a truck can be great. But most truck driving jobs where you can go home every night require incredibly stressful city driving. Getting cut off every few minutes while hauling 15/30/60+ thousand pounds is a whole other level of stress. You have to be okay with letting other people hurt themselves and its a strange experience.

🚛 As a US 18 wheeler driver, I am more than a little surprised at the reduced rest times for Australian drivers in comparison to those on the roads in the US & Canada. We are required to have a full 10 hours of rest after an 11 hour on-duty period of driving (although some companies allow their drivers to split this rest time into 2 parts within a 24 hour period). And electronic logs are the norm as well. It 8s a tough life being away from family and friends for days on end. 😮😢😢

Pulling a "double" to Perth from the eastern seaboard is a LOT easier than it used to be. The trucks now commonly have 600hp whereas in the 1980's they had only on average 400hp. That extra power cuts about 2 hours off a days drive. Running Perth especially, going east to west almost always means headwinds, and those can be really hard on the truck and fuel consumption. At Port Augusta, it was previously necessary to "shuttle" the trailers over Horrocks Pass, which took at least 4 hours, and unhooking/hooking up. Backing a dolly under a trailer, in a yard at night was always tricky. If a driver was really tired, he would put the front of the truck on the dolly and push it under the second trailer......it ends up being quicker. The trucks of the 1980's and 1990's were also rough and noisy......modern trucks are very civilized by comparison.

In NSW especially it was a battle against whingers in little towns, which didnt change until we had farmers convince councils to remove their opposition.

$3300 USD in California for 686 gallons of average price Unleaded/Diesel fuel at $4.75. Trucks only get between 6-8 miles to the gallon. At 8 miles per gallon it would give a fuel range of about 5500 miles. However, in Australia $3800 converts into American dollars to about $2500. Meaning Australians are paying $800 less in fuel, for the same range but with the added benefit that the cost of hauling 2 extra trailers (a total of 4) over the American limitation of only 2 trailers is built in and is extra profit being able to be delivered at the same time on one truck, double the amount of goods with a 1/4 savings makes Australian truck shipping extremely lucrative, and American truck shipping less so.

As a rigger that’s spent rather a lot of time unloading road trains in various mines waaaay out in the outback have to say this was great fun to watch mate! & Thanks for noticing our Aussie sky. 55 years now and I will never get tired of kicking back and cracking a tinny after a hard days yakka and watching nature put on a glorious show just for me lol. Bang up job mate & you couldn’t have picked a better bloke to travel with. Liked and subbed 👍👍👍

I drive one of these in America & it's so cool to see how they do it overseas. We basically do the same thing, but we have different terminology
@RoadTrainAdventuresАй бұрын
Yes. I'd be lost in USA with the difference in terminology for everything.

It would appear that not all Australian trucks that size have the 3 Michigan marker lights centered at the top on each end, amber front, red rear. North American trucks of that size (and buses) have them.

4 days on a road train across Australia? Now that’s what I call a true Outback adventure! 🚛 The landscapes, the endless roads, and the freedom of the open highway-this is the ultimate way to experience the heart of Australia! Can't wait to see what unique moments and breathtaking views you captured along the way!
