Ken, loving the road trips sir. Interesting place Coonabarabran, you are in Yowie country, My brother-in law was the head of Narrabri Police for years and told me some interesting stories from motorists driving through the Piliga scrub after dark, he stated there were to many co-incidences in the reports from motorists for them to be made up. He strongly suggested not parking at night between Narrabri and Coonabarabran Mind you, if something stepped onto the road, there would be little argument from them, "that is a lot of truck to stop". Stay safe sir and again I enjoy your posts, and thank you for keeping our economy turning and your commitment to enduring service for the people of Australia.

I always find that hour before sunrise is the hardest to drive through even if you just got out of the bunk after a good sleep. The book/camera tells you when you can sleep when you can rest not when you are tired i would like to see one of the shiny arsed suits work to the BFM hours for a month & see if they think it is a good way to manage fatigue.

HI, Ken, loving the runs up through my old playground Coonabarabran, and Dubbo, I lived in a double becker bus in that carvan park in Coonabarabran as a little boy with my family when that bridge was wooden I used to love them Old Kenny's and Mack's and can't forget the louisvilles on the Jakes coming into Coona me and my younger brother used to sit at bridge waving at the Truckies to honk their horns most did great times back then stay safe brother. Wiradjii fella on country

[@thehomelesstrucky]

@@SURFRAT2 That sounds great, there’s an old railway station there, did you ever have to catch the train from Coona to somewhere?

[@SURFRAT2]

I was only about 6 or 7 years old at the time, but I remember they wouldn't let trucks cross that wooden bridge at the same time. Some days, the lineups would stretch up the hill as you came into town. I wish we had mobile phones back then because the convoys were like something out of Smokey and the Bandit. In 1978, we moved out of that park and went to a farmhouse called Binnaway. A couple of years later, we moved to another farm at the Narrabri turn-off on the New England Highway. Eventually, we settled in Gunnedah, where I completed all my schooling and explored the countryside. There are some really big goannas still roaming around out there, along with some things you probably already know about. Take care, brother.

[@MarioVanDerMaas]

Tired after the 24. This is due to the changeover times and a lot of driving at night and sleeping during the daytime. Sleeping with the reefer and ice pack running. Then you do not sleep well, which you do in the 24 and relax at other times. .And age also plays a role. It's all about a rhythm. A good rhythm makes it easier for your biological clock, which provides your energy. Eating at the same times also helps. It aint easy with this job. I know. I've been there. I did the same job as you for a long time in EU. Rushing at night and sleeping during the day with a reefer on. Some people went to sleep for 30 minutes during the 45 minute mandatory break. I couldn't do that. Then I would be broken when I woke up and had to move on Keep the wheels rolling Ken. Have a good one. Stay safe.

Great work Ken. A few questions, if you have the time. What's the device at the end of the fuel Nozzle with the flashing lights?

It’s a fuel delivery system that Lindsays are using at the moment, there’s a tag number code on the tank which identifies my truck and records how much fuel I’m using each month.
