Another great video Ken, its good how you keep the videos ""family friendly"", as people may watch with their children and grandchildren. The high quality of your camera work and editing is evident, and watching the countryside roll by is therapeutic. I also like going along for the pre departure checks of the turntable, trailer fuel tanks and lights. Thanks Ken, keep up the good work. PS - Many thanks to the trucking community, for taking up the slack of the Scotts shutdown.

I particularly loved the one where you explained the air system in the truck and trailers, very interesting. I drive I rigid Hino 500 in Melbourne and am often around near the Lindsey yard, maybe see you around! Thanks for your efforts in doing what you do and filming for us all….even the little bit at the end of this one getting into bed, nice touch. Well done mate. Safe travels and keep em comin.

Nice Jarmies. Looked like you're in the lockup😂.. I picked up this site a while ago and as an ex truckie finished 20 year ago (8-92 Detroit K model 15spd O/drive real truck and I have the back to prove it☺ ) you give us a great insight to the changes in the industry and especially how you chase the K's. . Our/your biggest problem has been and is that people will buy products without any idea on how they get to the shelf yet will abuse a truckie on the highway for hogging the road, cutting them off etc. and it won't change. Anyway good job, hope to see more. Safe travels..
