Life As An Australian Truck Driver | Big Australia

[@boss290bafalcon]

Good to see they look after their workers, monitor the drivers sleep patterns and diet. Healthy drivers equals less accidents

[@davidfortier6976]

Truck drivers have usually been pretty safe drivers, back in ~2005 (in North America at least) they had half as many at-fault accidents per driver-kilometer than the national averages. But there's usually room for improvement and I agree, nice to see them working on it.

[@timmyjones1921]

Yes this is Mega Pipe Laying , Wish I Could See It In Person . I worked for a plant in Minnesota for awhile concrete pipe was molded and placed on trucks and taken to pipe laying teams but nothing this massive as in this Australia Video.

@Ian Visser I wish I could afford a electric car. I would love to see electric trucks takeover the industry . The effect they would have on air and noise pollution would change the world

[@robertkiell]

@Ian Visser not me... id prefer diesel power.. more reliable i just hate electric trucks till they somehow make it last 1000 miles before charge and add auto charge thing like adding 2 electric motors in front wheel just for charging batteries

[@robertkiell]

True tho... but his rules in USA is 11 hours on road , 3 hours on duty, 10 hours off duty... which equals to70 hour work time each week with 30 minutes break in middle of driving time

[@robertkiell]

This is an amazing look at the men/women who drive trucks that literally keep a nation alive. Much of it on two-lane blacktop. Unbelievable! They seldom get the credit they deserve so let's raise our glass to them right now! Cheers from Canada--another vast country with few highways to reach remote towns.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I never thought trucking was cool until i saw these articulated semis. I don't know why they don't have turbine trucks because they would work real well in Australia. They would well on flat open ground and there are long flat terrains all over the world they would work well in. in the U.S. it may be to late because the traffic on highways, and i'm sure many of Australia's logistic centers are near highways (so these trucks can drop of trailers) so they don't have to go deep into towns and cities were they'd congested traffic. But if you zone properly so factories and intermodal facilities are located by highways/rail lines/waterways/airfields it would make a super efficient logistics network being you could move 3-4 times the goods with 1/3rd the truck drivers.

The Volvo road train was running 600HP and the pipe truck was running a 540HP motor at 46,000KG. The one you thinking about was the 480HP single trailer they use locally.

How many (per year) cubic kilometers of Earth could be minded?

[@robinhyperlord9053]

@@Kevy_G Thank you for the information.

[@davidfortier6976]

About fifteen years ago I read in, I think Popular Science, that mankind collectively moves enough Earth for all purposes, mostly mining and construction, to fill the Grand Canyon four times. The Grand Canyon's volume is estimated at 5.45 trillion cubic yards, which works out to almost 4 200 cubic kilometers. So if all that's correct, we move (but not necessarily mine) 12 000 to 13 000 cubic kilometers of Earth each year. The largest mine is the Bingham Canyon copper mine in Utah, USA. it is also the largest man made excavation and is allegedly visible from an orbiting space shuttle without binoculars/telescope. It is about five cubic kilometers. None of this is exactly an answer to your question, but might interest you.
