MINERS PASS CUE WESTERN AUSTRALIA. A very Busy Intersection in the Outback

[@Secretlyanothername]

25 axles on the same combination is insane. Great job capturing this!

[@Bigrigsaustralia]

Thanks a lot!

[@returnofthenative]

Thanks for that, the aerial photography is superb. I just love the rich colours of our North-West inland landscapes. You know I did that for decades, used to run triple flat tops mainly, out from Perth to the East Pilbara. I have been to most of the mines, although I say that with caution because now there are just so many, in fact thousands, but I can remember back to the days when they were relatively few, back in the early 70s, Pannawonica, Tom Price, Whaleback at Newman, readily spring to mind. No power steering back then, just a big wheel that could hardly be turned at very low speeds. I had a Mack R600 with a 285 Coolpower motor, air start, & a fibreglass hot box sleeper that was unusable, so I slept in a swag under the lead, (I pulled 2 trailers with that), anyway that was it, nothing else. Kept water in a canvas waterbag hung on the steel bullbar, & later on I got a Bostrom pneumatic seat for it. Press the button & it went up, press it again & it went down, that was it, but it was flash, a proper luxury rig, & much admired back in the days when people still slept with a pillow over the steering wheel. I honestly don't know how we did it in those conditions. My last truck was by far the best that I ever had, it was the mighty heavy spec KW T904. I did more than 5 million kms in this truck, & it still wasn't using oil between changes when I sold it & retired. Mind you I did a lot to it to help that. It had the Cat C16 & 22 Series Roadranger box. 9 ton front axle & supersteers, steel rims on spider hubs, on 6 rod suspension. 6x500 litre round tanks, a very noisy Icepack to the sleeper & Red Dot roof mounted aircon to the cab. Aerodyne 60 inch walk in sleeper mean't I could get dressed standing up, double bunks & cupboards & I removed the passenger seat to fit in 2 Engel fridges. I had 2x80 litre water tanks & an outside electric shower setup. Ditto outside gas with one of those cast iron Chinese double gas rings for all those unsurpassed gourmet dining experiences. You know, the thing I really miss now, apart from my truck is...... a fire. I used to take wood with me for the purpose to places where wood was scarce, carried in a tyre rack, gate rack, or even strapped across the drawbars. I just loved sitting by the fire out there at night, & I would rake out the coals before going to bed, collect them up in the morning & carry them on. I just love the outback, & a quiet camp, so I had all these camp up spots figured out with a turn around handy where I could do just that. The roadhouses back then all had cooked real food, unlike now where its just junk fast food that makes you fat & unhealthy, but I much, much preferred my system. You know, there were, & to some extent still are some very eccentric people living out there. In my experience eccentrics a wise, but often without knowing what's good for them & what is not. I thought I'd give your channel a boost with a bit of a tale. If you like, I'll talk about some of the people too, in future vids.

[@Bigrigsaustralia]

Thank You. This time of year its especially good with wild flowers etc after the rains. Also the weather is excellent. It's so great to hear your story and alot of what you related reminds me of my grandfather who used to drive big Rigs back in the 70s. He had the first aircraft carrier tray in WA and was the only one doing this work. He picked up aircraft from all over WA with my father as a co driver. They camped under the stars and had similar set up to what you described. They also had a couple of trips they nearly didn't come back from. Different world today, the modern truckies have got it good with AC cabs and all the mod cons. Thanks again for your story and support.

Some of the bigger Rigs are limited to 90 or 80kmh. These road trains are limited to 100kmh. When a quad passes on the highway at 100kmh its truly intimidating. I'm not sure about fuel consumption although that would depend on the weight of the cargo I suppose. I'll keep an eye out for the mercs.

As a Swede is strange to see Volvos together with American trucks.. How do they compare in running costs? As a European i have a lot of preconception of American made vehicles.. I also thought that the US stuff was to weak, what are their max? ~40 tons? We have been allowed 64 tons for long and since a few year 74 tons. I have owned a few Volvo FH16-540/660 -08/-09 and a Scania R620 -10. For me the Volvo was the better one..The Scania kept throwing out expensive parts on the ground.. Did a lot of driving on hilly forest roads with up to 64 tons.

A large number of these bigger quads will carry 100+ tons. As for fuel consumption I have no idea but I'm guessing the bigger the load the more fuel they use.

Australian emissions are probably tighter than USA. The American trucks are x15 or simular at around 600. The Euro trucks are upto 780hp.

[@trevorlewis847]

Yeah I would put that down to space and population 26m compared 340m spread thru same size countries,10 or more times population 10 times the traffic,planes etc etc and the guts of usa totally diff to aust,we all desert very sparse not like usa the odd desert area but plenty rural farming(ranching)all need fossil fuels to run machinery 🤔

@abiemkhulu6050 if you want to drive these Rigs go get your MC licence. There is a demand for good drivers.

[@Empress_Theresa]

Australia really needs to learn a thing or two about actual cargo trains.

[@Bigrigsaustralia]

There are lots of trains in the Pilbara, Western Australia's Northwest. I think the remoteness of the mine sites may have a bearing the decision to not build a rail network out here.

[@Lamar-ok5sl]

Rail not a good idea out that way I believe due to the flooding maybe. Also you have the remote towns that rely heavily on those road trains. No need for a rail head out in those areas.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

Christ, What's their speed limit?

[@Bigrigsaustralia]

They can legally do 100kmh but many companies limit them to 80 or 90

Czy może ktoś mi powiedzieć czy prawo jazdy na ciężarówki wraz z naczepami wydawane przez kraje europejskie jest respektowane czy trzeba robić całkowicie od nowa chcąc zostać kierowcą zawodowym w Australii? Z góry dziękuję za odpowiedź

[@Bigrigsaustralia]

Aby prowadzić te ciężarówki, musisz uzyskać australijskie prawo jazdy.

[@TymonMasa]

@@Bigrigsaustralia dzięki za info szkoda tylko że przepisy działają w jedną stronę bo w Polsce na australijskim prawie jazdy mógł byś normalnie jeździć

@@TymonMasa that's surprising. I have obtained an International drivers license for when I am overseas. All the countries I have visited won allow me to drive on my Australian license.
