Somewhere on the Nullarbor…..

[@criticaldawg]

It’s hard mate. I did the nully run for 7 years and ended up giving it in for local work and never looked back. It’s not easy being gone for weeks on weeks. Ok bit less coin but having my son cry because I’m never around was the calling point for me. Just gotta look out for the Whanau because before you know it brother there grown up and you have missed the best years of there life.

[@johnblyth9787]

Hey old mate, I think my heart missed a beat or two when you video popped up, when I seen the truck, I thought you had your own. So great to have you back and get an update. The nulabour is the longest straight stretch of rail in the world. I have driven it but don't remember a big chance. 36 hours Perth to Broken Hill. Wishing you all the best with new job. Trust mum is going OK with 2 at home. Take care, and keep on crunching gears. Think 54 metres big ones.

[@crossfamilytrucking]

[@roberthughes1134]

So good to see you again my friend, it's like catching up to an old mate on a trip. Happy for you pal, I loved the SARs' not much room I know but comfy ride. You will find that you will get to love the Perth trips and that big sky country. Enjoy, enjoy

[@crossfamilytrucking]

Loving every minute of it mate the run over to Perth is a lot more relaxing not so much express it feels kinda like you get there when you get there 👍

[@roberthughes1134]

The other thing you will notice is the difference with the driver's you come across. Don't know how to put it but it's like stepping back in time, when everyone has a story, everyone cares about the other driver. I came across amazing men and women out on that road.

Hey im in Brisbane and just got my HR Open (road ranger) licence. I want to get into this line of work but don't know where to start. Any advice?

[@sancx]

I'd work for a big company as a HR driver then they give you the opportunity to upskill to semi/b double ect. I worked for a big shopping chain DC in brisbane as a picker, went from warehouse work to HR driving then they paid for my time and gave free training to get B double after a year in the HR, granted I would only be driving semi but they can train B double in house, if you go HC semi you need to go through transport dpt

[@maltesers1980]

Yeah… don’t

[@Pilbaratrucking]

Not easy man, you need to get experience around town with semis first and operating a road ranger gear box properly. Most interstate is done in B doubles, double and triple road trains so you will need to get your MC which is intense, it is here in WA anyway. All the best.

[@simonprivate5131]
