I was a driver then the depot manager at Hampton Transport in Broome for many years back in the late 90s early 00s. It was a great job with great people. Our Prime mover numbers were all around 30-33 back then. T600 Anteaters, T650s cab over K100s.

@@Parmidaabasi No, lorry is the old UK word for a truck from a time before we became Americanised. Some people consider a lorry to be a small goods vehicle but it depends on where you live, the word 'lorry' covers big trucks too in my part of the world.

Nice drive mate, your employer lucky to have you... There are truck drivers and then there's livestock drivers, a world of difference between eh. You didn't show enough of what's involved with breaking, loading and then reassembling the train maybe, but loved the sound of the engine throughout on the pull :) Great vid all up. Keep on truckin' and stay safe...

[@dub_dub1504]

That was an amazing video lads. Love the sounds, the sights and the whole lot. Huge respect for men and women that do the likes of this job. Some laugh though when you hear the Irish accent🤣

[@russe19642]

Are you still in Australia

[@Tomherbs]

Anyone know how the lorry licence works if you from the uk or Ireland? Can it be transferred to an Australian one?

[@Paulo660]

Once you provide proof of driving with an articulated in Europe, you should be able to get a Heavy Combination licence which allows you to drive the same type of truck in Australia. You then need to apply for a learners Multi Combination and do your test for the MC. This will be done in a B-Double, after which you can drive the big stuff.

[@chuckfinley6156]

@@codychickadee5095 are they as dangerous to change as split rims? thanks for the info.

[@codychickadee5095]

The old split rims were mega dangerous no doubt. Daytons are a very safe alternative! A lot of commercial trucks used to run them, you don't really see them being put on new trucks but when I drove I had lots of different trucks and trailers that ran them.

[@codychickadee5095]

The rim is one piece and is fastened down to a larger hub with some wedges.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

More likely tubeless 1 piece. Split rims are not dangerous to put a new tyre on if you use your brains. No different to change a wheel though but when they get full of dust the spacer can be a bastard to get off to get at the inside one.
