Hauling Down Under: STM's Gold Coast to Darwin Epic Road Train Adventure

[@TheTruthseeker707]

These trucks are beautiful. Hello from a fellow trucker resting a bit in a truckstop near Kansas City.

[@greg3095]

This is the best video I've seen in years. God it was awesome. Love big rigs. Sensational

[@weingkoy9752]

I thought this was a big channel, this team deserve more! Goodjob.

[@Robdutton91]

Production is excellent

[@Desmov]

Same I looked at the subscribers after reading this comment the production is great

[@scotttaylormotorsport954]

Hey guys - nope we are not a big channel - we are a local small team but thanks for thinking we are big :)

[@jamielee9350]

Best truck in this video "The Diamond T" 💯 Love you guys, all the best from good old England.

[@carenbarnet378]

After seeing your video this put the motorsport world into a whole new perspective. Having fun on the way, and your attention to keeping the trucks clean, is epic. Thanks , Stay safe.

[@4troglodite342]

Might be the biggest road train you can drive in queensland, but they run 56.5m fuel trucks between Darwin and Alice, and WA has 60m super quads in the pilbara.

[@S3pra]

Was gonna say - 53.5 is the biggest in certain areas, but there’s bigger!

[@michaellear6904]

That's rather a lot really.

[@whallengwh]

All things are bigger in Queensland

[@markrowe-su3be]

They r just saying

[@CodeNameV13]

They call the Pilbara quad country. You soon learn to respect them and the drivers when you navigate around them all day and night. The bloody cattle and camels are free range up there, adding more fun to the trips.

[@michaellear6904]

Top bunch of blokes, marvellous big trucks and some precious cargo, bloody brilliant.

[@bobbysmith8120]

Awesome video guys Thanks for sharing with us 💯👍 from Alabama 🇺🇸 watching 👍

[@davidpearn4344]

[@bikerssupportingcountrytow6904]

Scott Taylor and all the crew I just like to say well done on a valiant effort. If it wasn't for you guys doing what you do to put a smile on all the mums and dads and the kids faces. From all of us here we like to say thank you. DOZA BIKERS SUPPORTING COUNTRYSIDE TOWNS PITTWORTH QLD.

“Wow “Brother thanks , for the ultimate trucker’s journey

[@MrHerbalchef]

epic road trip...so much fun to watch...keep on trucking...

[@satvirsinghbatth5918]

I love trucking...video was so good 👍

[@TBird89]

I told everyone at school when I was 10 or 11 back in the 80s that I wanted to drive a long range Kenny around Australia as my dream job, unfortunately I ended in the building industry but seeing content like this makes me wish I can turn the clock back. What a great bunch of blokes at STM 🥇👍

[@tate8020]

That black kenworth is just phenomenal

[@captlee3732]

It's ok definitely not the best Kenworth running round

[@user-teabager]

What a mad ass road trip guys cheers

[@joshuaverkoeyen7852]

Used to drive all round mt isa, curry up to Normanton and the southern part, nothing beats driving a 53m road train up there, cheers for the memories fellas looks like an awesome trip

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

1985 my brother and I went on au Outback bus tour from Melbourne to Alice Springs and back. I believe that one of the road trains we passed was 4 trailers. I’m surprised that they don’t have a RR line connection between the Queensland east coast to the line that goes north through Alice Springs to Darwin.

[@greeneyedpixie2]

I'd love to learn how to drive a truck 🚚 Excellent job Guys..

[@MJMAC]

Beautiful trucks. I remember stopping at the Blue heeler hotel back in 99 on a trip from Brisbane to Mt Isa and writing my name on one of the beams across the front entrance. My dad also had a blue K6 honda four and lived not far from Emerald where they filmed Solo One and was in the background on one of the episodes

[@FatedPHX]

I hope this video gets more attention, this is absolutely amazing!

[@gabrielhallman1042]

mad respect trucking all the way there and also racing

[@gregoryfietz3831]

bit tame , no road kill , no dirt , ok to watch , thanks guys .

[@Gentryandsons]

I need this experience

[@jacobsimpson1818]

you sure do tim and brax

[@ImPistolKnight]

If you saw how our regulators and cops treat truckers and the real conditions for lots of drivers you’ll see why trucking is not getting much new blood here. Real cowboys and Indians now haha!

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

What a nice guy. Well done team.

[@GarageSupra]

Wow great video! Thanks for sharing this stuff

[@Ryanlawrence84]

[@mattmilnes6853]

Absolutely awesome scott❤

[@jtiger1062]

I am not into trucks but this was a fantastic vid..amazing talents and content

[@Outback_Truckie]

Good welll edited video. Lucky you didn't have to drive from Townsville to Mt Isa on the Flinders Hwy like we all have to. There is something about going over narrow bridges in a road train with another coming the other way and you only have about an inch to spare. Also we hit at least 3-4 roos everynight in winter so lucky you guys didn't drive at night.

[@jarrodt5786]

Awesome video.

[@raywilson800]

Very cool video. You guys work hard⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@74_pelicans]

[@ranjitsian5481]

[@wayneschenk5512]

Good job if you can get it nice work.

[@petermiddo]

You didn't show me & my mate's signature (Middo & Sasquatch, Unsupervised) on the top of the pool room at the Blue Heeler in Kynuna. Bloody great night, there.

[@JestaBl1tz]

Thanks for upload buddy. Just found channel. Cars trucks and outback YEH boi

[@19thstep]

Absolutely shit hot video. Be bloody keen to see more of the 909s and the trailer set ups.

[@Handleyman]

Now THIS is my Australia! 🇦🇺👍💪

[@danstocks2906]

Lol....bit of a change from rowing training in the nude up Bonville Creek Scotty....you a legend mate 👍

[@OGElites]

New subscriber, dude this video was amazing, holy cropppppp

[@johnhughes4582]

Unfortunately I am not allowed to drive. People say I am too old at 80. In my travels I think collectively the most popular truck has to be KENWORTH

[@rosskennedy]

My days in eighties ran out Toowoomba to Alice,Darwin, Broome,hook up triple at condamine,my Prime mover was short nose western Star,cat 3406,20 spicer,general freight north,most cattle hides home to Toowoomba, Record 3 trailers hides 120 ton split up to 6 trailers get through Gail's weigh bridge get into Brisbane,biggest fun dogging the scales in QLD back blocks. Back loads give good profit.

[@petert3355]

"It's the biggest roadtrain you can drive in Australia, it's 53 m long" Small correction, it's the longest roadtrain you can drive on most public roads. There are longer roadtrains you can drive from mines to port in the Pilbura, but they are on specific private routes. 5 even 6 tipper trailers.

[@darrenmckenna9115]

Love it boys. Onya.

[@davydoo81]

At around 5:20, is that an auto?!!

[@ianking-jv4hg]

Amazed they never put a bullbar on that nice shiny new rig.

[@ospreyau2759]

Long hauling your own gt3 spec. Alright just live my dream like that. Gawd damm

[@ospreyau2759]

Also recognising the Heeler and the Mt Isa Servo has got to be one of the biggest memory trips ive ever experienced. Rode shotgun with my dad when we moved up to darwin (defence posting) and that 4 day trip will still always be one of my favourites. Just wish i got to see a road train in action during it

[@bpfabs]

How come you didn’t leave the b double enclosed trailers together, and the two open trailers together when you hooked it up as the full size road train? Cheers.

[@peterpumpkin1077]

Arrrrrr no. 53.5 metres isn’t the longest road train allowed in Australia. 60 metres in parts of WA.

[@ScottArmas107]

“Does it look good? Shit yea”. 💯

[@alliswell3372]

Black kenworth ❤❤

[@jamesru1]

How bad is the drag having an enclosed on the back of the full length with centre being open

[@cameronmcconaghy5496]

Watched 10 times over and havnt seen the pups or Becca haha

[@MoMo-ud9ui]

Make more videos like this please!!!

[@blueman5924]

Red Bull. It gives you wheels….Lots and lots of wheels. 🤙

[@JettGoddard-u8v]

Did you stop at Mackay ???

[@fraudieYT]

for a bunch of pro's you sure seem to lack knowledge about the latest tie downs for vehicles, not that there is anything wrong with how its all tied down, just you have spent so much effort to make the trucks/trlrs look good, why not get the latest tyre straps and vehicle securing equipment ? seeing the truck with a harley tied down, old school with chains ...

[@youngyarnzy777]

Bangers 🤘

[@19774p]

чото надергали кадров , я не успевал рассмотреть грузовики роуд трейны!

[@Br-sy9vi]

Pretty intense when you had to swap trailers lucky you said that's trucking and it was all ok

[@weldmachine]

It was a good video to watch 👍👍 But, I don't understand WHY you would take 2 Trucks, and put All the trailers behind 1 Truck ???

[@cameronmcconaghy5496]

Watched 10 times over and havnt seen the pups or Becca hahha

[@JR113FTW]

HOLE E SHIIIIIIIIIIIT! It does not get better than that...

[@shanedunleavy67]

Very interesting to watch, nice work👍 If it wasn't for the trucks , Australia would grind to a halt.

[@Robdutton91]

Not just Australia mate, the whole world

[@dynamo1796]

Which is ironic, because the vast majority of long distance trucking could be replaced by rail - but beerbellied trucker lovers aren't ready for that talk lmao

[@kadmow]

@@dynamo1796 - not in Australia (major cities excepted - with duplicated freight tracks), unless there were a huge expenditure on rail - separate to general road routes which must also be maintained for local ands "retail" travellers.

[@ank55o7]

These are the guys that have a shop just a few meters down from where I work

[@19774p]

А что хватает денег выручки с автогонок чтобы еще и такие грузовики дорогие содержать и еще и вертолет нанимать?

[@willharper4372]

That road train has more wheels than it needs. About half the axles could be eliminated based on the weight

[@outlawdingo3020]

biggest road train at 53m? one i drive for work is 60m long and yes its on public roads

[@midwesternfarmer615]

Just curious why would you switch trailers around and then drive an empty tractor in the convoy? Why wouldn’t you just continue with the shorter loads and distribute the trailers and load more evenly just like you had been doing earlier in the trip? I know nothing about road trains, but only thing I can think is that maybe it saves fuel?

[@jordankerr1377]

For the wank factor

[@audoinxr6372]

To make the show

[@madlad8629]

If use are running 2 trucks what is the point of bobtailing 1 and running all of the trailers on the 1? Do use leave the other 1 somewhere or is it just for looks?

[@rude252]

Scott wanted to run a 4 trailer road train to Darwin.

[@satvirsinghbatth5918]

I m working as a truck driver in dubai ...what should i do to go to Australia n become a trucker over there ?

[@hanes2]

what do aussies think about eurotrucks like volvo/scania.

[@therealPelo]

Kinda don't know much about trucking, but why use only one truck to pull all those trailers when there's two trucks? Why not split the trailers between them? Is it simply because it looker cooler for the video? Because it certainly does!

[@michavanbodegom1197]

is it more efficient if u use 1 road train and 1 seperate truck than 2 smal road trains at all times ? im just wondering if it is

[@kadmow]

(triples ("A-triple" roadtrains, with 2x dolly converters)) and the various Quad (ABB,BAB) configurations can only run on certain routes - in the eastern and southern areas of Australia, for those regions B-Double (or B-Triple for some routes) is the biggest truck that can be run, hence running a BAB-Quad means it can just be split into 2x B-Doubles (plus an empty dolly) and a contractor can pull the second B-Double rig (If an outfit wants their own prime-mover pulling both, it may just be better to either bobtail the second prime-mover or don't bother hooking up the BAB-Quad.) )

[@joeormsby2351]

Love the content guys if you need another good worker I’m so keen

[@brockcook5765]

mate massive fine for using fire hose 😭😭😭

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Why are the sleepers so small compared to US kW’s?

[@S3pra]

Length laws

[@jesuschrist7169]

We are not as fat 😂😂

[@b-laz-e]

Drives the truck, drives the race car, then drives the truck... nice.

[@kadmow]

Need to get the terms correct - calling a "B-Trailer" an "A" is ignorant (though possibly typical "trucker parlance") - the "dolly" + semi-trailer MAKES an "A" (dolly + semitrrailer = (effective)Dog"box"; ie A-trailer - [NB. A-frame drawbar]....) The "B" is the hookup using the shared wheelset on the "B-double" (bridge trailer = "B")

[@Greasygrape58]

how do u get the flat roof sleeper?

[@CA.papaBear]

This is probably stupid to ask but... how much do roadtrain truckers get paid annually?

[@alliswell3372]

Around 36$ to 50$ an hour on job. Could be even more
