Road Train in Australia! | American Truck Simulator

[@douglaswhite5597]

YES IT'S BACK thank you Jeff as an Australian this warms my heart and considering where this map is located it's about 200km away from my home town and we do the thank you thing but we do it like right blinker left right left

[@Seymp]

Hi Jeff, if you want to drive like a local here are some tips. Where there are no lines on the road, come up onto the crown of the road, i.e. drive down the middle of the road and move over when necessary. Our roads are crowned to shed water, so driving on one side means you are leaning to the left, which makes the trailers move around a lot more, it's dangerous and uncomfatable. It's also much safer for braking. When someone wants to overtake you, do not move over. You will drop your left wheels off the bitumen and throw a cloud of dust, rocks and all types of shit everywhere and they won't be able to pass, you will also break the windshield of every vehicle behind you. Keep your wheels on the road and when it's safe for them to pass put your right indicator on so they know it's safe to go around. If you are on smaller roads, especially access or remote dirt roads, you can run a fourth trailer. It's common to run an extra trailer (or three) up to a main road so you, or a second driver won't have to come back so far for your second load. Finally, road trains are not rare around here. People are used to them and most locals know the deal. Just do you, and most of the time they will move around you. Watch out for tourists and caravans! Enjoy nothingness. Also, we pronounce the U like 'you' ('mewsic' not 'moosic') so those town names are even harder to say than you think...

[@Matty12787]

Do you flash your lights to let other drivers know when it's safe to pull in front after overtaking? He said that it was only an American thing but I have found truckies to be the most considerate on the road, will let you know when it's safe to pull in front and if you do the same in return you always get the left, right and then left flash from the blinkers to thank you. Definitely not an American thing, more of a courtesy and polite thing to do..

[@Seymp]

Yes always. Flash to let them know the back of the last trailer is past and they can move back in. Then left, right, left, single flash to say thanks is traditional for areas where radios are not common. Out here we are almost always talking to each other on the radio so you see it less. @@Matty12787

Man, that truck must have been built on a Friday, someone put the steering wheel on the wrong side! Ok, that's my terrible joke of the day done... 😂 Seriously tho, it blows my mind how good these mods for ATS have gotten! Just getting back into it myself after investing in a Thrustmaster T248 and shifter and have been blown away by how realistic you can make the game look and feel now!

[@Xavier-b3j]

You mean the right side of the truck

Absolutely amazing Jeff. Thankyou for showing trucking from my beloved homeland. In my part of Australia that’s actually a B-triple and would be wearing the “Long Vehicle” signs. I see these setups on the road a lot.

[@jfavignano]

I just go off of google images and a lot of the b triples I have seen have the road train signage

[@antarcticviking]

@@jfavignano It’s very confusing in my state as some of the other states consider it as a road train but in South Australia the authorities classify it as a long vehicle, thus the long vehicle signs. It was even very confusing for my some of my family who were truckers that drive the massive beasts

[@anonymousperson1726]

roadtrains can overtake, they even overtake other roadtrains, they co-ordinate over cb so the driver ahead can tell them when it's clear since they are so far back and will need to spend over a minute in opposite lanes to get around

[@jasonharrison9282]

Looks amazing Jeff! I live a bit North of there, those graphics look so awesome, and quite real tbh.

[@RobViguurs]

Awesome video Jeff! Absolutely amazed seeing you drive on the map, can't wait too see you take the ferry from Cooladdi to Straylia map. Little info for people that might have some questions from the video ❤; That entire route 14 is getting a revamp soon, since it's an older road, and be continued from Cooladdi all the way to Quilpie soon. + Lot more Australian AI vehicles. The Victoria part is entirely work in progress, but I have let that in for players that are eager to take a little peek there.

[@willnewing4240]

Hey m8 you’ve done so well with this! I drive a b triples every now and then from gatton Qld to Clermont. Would be wild to see that intergraded in there one day! Keep up the good work 🤙🏼🤙🏼

When ever I try play the two maps together straylia is v2.2 and outback map is 5.1, the game crashes when ever I try to visit Norseman truck dealer with no other mods

[@AmateurHour1111]

This is randomly just what I needed. I don’t even play this or drive trucks but it’s nice to watch

[@DuaneNorrie]

hi Jeff I am a Road Train Driver in Western Australia and i have to say the roads are not as smooth in real life for instance most dirt sections are corrugated and the seal bitumen are full of pot holes and if driving a triple the last trailer tends to be a pain but happy to see our profession make it to ATS

[@Fartman71]

Yeah that road looks smoother than an F1 track. I think he is getting bumps in his rig though.

[@notjaard]

That truck sounds so good! 🤤 Great video as always Jeff.

[@Iswhatitisman]

I tell ya mate, outback trucking is for every trucker in reality, the outback can cost ya more then ya truck, it fries your truck out there & have seen trucks with tyres that have melted, radiators cook so easy, it’s a challenging job for a trucker as you’re mostly alone out there & will rarely come across another truck or human, if your truck shits it then you better hope you got enough water & food for the next few days till someone can get out to ya to help repair or tow your truck! :) love the vids mate, one thing us Aussie & many Americans I feel agree with, kenworths & macks are some of the toughest manliest trucks you can drive & buy 😂

[@Nunya479]

We do say thank you with the indicators in Australia

[@jaxezyo9850]

Bro this actually looks like an Australian road this is super realistic even the highway patrol cars look real. Love your work Jeff keep posting Australian trucking vids this is awesome dude

[@niceflicks]

To answer your question, most countries do the flash of the hazards to say thank you - here in Australia trucks and people who know how trucks work thank each other with left, right, left indicator flash. The remainder of the population spend most of their time flipping each other the bird.

[@keithbennett5519]

Amazing drive on the out back map

[@shyrockman3454]

I love the sound of the engine.

[@antarcticviking]

Kenworth Australia which operates freely from its parent company PAACR makes the most toughest Kenworths and some of them will have 15 to 29 years with some trucking firms.

[@YACOBO_OFFICIAL]

This was an impressive video Jeff. Good work on the mods and I love the truck. Keep up the good work with the videos you do

Hi Jeff. Thank you so much for showing us this game. I started playing it about 4 months ago and I LOVE IT. It is actually a nice way to just relax.

[@greco820]

I've been to Australia multiple times and every time I would not want to go back to the US! Such a great country enriched with wilderness! Now make a video on a Jeep tackling those trails in the wild!

[@vaudevillian7]

I’m from the U.K. but always enjoy you doing the Aus stuff (and enjoy driving it too, although occasionally wish the scale was more like 1:10 or even 1:5 - but the detail Rob puts in is incredible)

[@brandonhoefer6151]

You make this look easy, I'd never be able to make the super precise turns even with a wheel like you do. You're the King of Truck sims. 😎

This is actually crazy the fact that I’ve been on some of these roads I love This jeff thank you, I actually used to work out of Charleville

[@mick2231]

Hey Jeff, awesome video as always, and was great to see in my home of Aus. One thing I thought I'd mention is with the t610 you're driving, and all of the bigger Aussie Kenworths we have here, they are all pretty much running Cummins X15 engines. The Paccar engines are used for smaller Kenworths that are doing local runs. Though they do run the Paccar engines in Daf's and the higher HP engines do run B-Doubles. But yeah just thouyght I'd mention it to add a bit more realism for your next aussie run, and also the X15's sound a lot better than the Paccar's haha.

[@hecklepig]

I think its 62mph (100Kph) because that's the open road speed limit in Australia the same as here in New Zealand.

[@zoe..d]

Depending on how the road is graded and in what state. A vast majority of our highways are 110 kmh (68mph) however a lot of large companies are mandating their fleet are restricted to 90 kmh (55mph) for fuel and maintenance savings. Seeing as the vast majority of heavy vehicles are owner operated, they choose their own speed up to the max each state allows.

[@lindsaybrown7357]

Some highways in the NT are 130 kph or 80 mph.

[@bolgar1965]

Letting someone know they can bring it back in by flashing lights is a thing here in Oz mate. Thanking them is usually either a quick flash of Hazards to Left, Right, Left of the indicators. It is used around the Cities a bit but mostly on the open roads, it seems to be a dying thing as a lot of younger Truckers are not that courteous.

Typically a b triple, what your driving is Typically mate any thing oversize less then 3.8 but more then 3.3, without escort or road train must adhere to 90kph. Oversize with escort is 80 kph and then anything b-double and below are 100kph. Just thought I'd through my IRL experience in their.
