I have to say for only 11.4k subs the quality of the videos is top notch. I quite enjoyed seeing you working to fix your electrical fault, I'm a truck mechanic in Canada so it's interesting to see the differences and similarities between our trucks and yours.

[@drinkwise1007]

Hi Johno thanks for taking us on your trip. Brings back fond memories of being a radio linesman in the late 80,s early 90,s upgrading the school of the air system all across NSW and working or staying in most of the towns on this trip and then as a research assistant for weed herbicide trials in Western QLD. I too love the bush 👍

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh HF great. Is love to hear more about that. I've got a lot of communications equipment in my truck.

[@drinkwise1007]

I,m not to clued on HF side of things my job was to lift the new antenna up the tower and run the coaxial cable down the tower and into the equipment shed and a technician would come at a later date and connect, test and switch on. It took usually took 3 days each tower and then on to the next one. Lots of K,s put on the clock driving 18ft flat bed and towing a 5 ton winch. Absolutely great views from the top of the tower and no annoying flies😂.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Awesome. I had a 100ft tower in the back yard of my house growing up. RG213. I still play around with this stuff. I was thinking about putting a Codan in my truck but not sure if it would be worth it. I'm a little scared of heights but have been up a couple of towers.

G’day mate, I think you’ve nailed it with this video, it has everything that I like. Your commentary and video views are really great. The night shots with the big lights on were spectacular thanks to those big LED’s. Thanks for the look around Townsville, but out in the scrub, mate you can’t beat that. I miss the big diesels ( retired miner), but I’ll always go for a trip with you blokes. Thanks mate.🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thanks Graham. Yes I love the outback. It's just a pity my wife doesn't. This is exactly the kind of place she'd hate to live. She doesn't like spiders and insects. Anyway with this job I get the best of both worlds.

Thanks again. A lot of bigger companies don't allow the drivers to fix anything. Not even to change a tyre. I couldn't work for a company like that. Get it fixed and get back on the road.

[@MarioVanDerMaas]

@@RoadTrainAdventures Thats the spirit of a open country trucky,if you ask me.Just like the old days.That is good for the company and the driver. Freedom and trust are the keywords. The things you have learned and are still learning make you a free man. And the company doesn't have to catch up with you every time. You can't wait a day in open country to change a tire. To hot,to expensif,and maybe lozing a time lock. Perhaps a large fleet's maintenance contract won't allow you to tinker yourself. Isn't it true that the big companies don't drive open country ''autback''? Except for a few like TOLL.
