Life As An Australian Truck Driver | Big Australia

[@boss290bafalcon]

Good to see they look after their workers, monitor the drivers sleep patterns and diet. Healthy drivers equals less accidents

[@davidfortier6976]

Truck drivers have usually been pretty safe drivers, back in ~2005 (in North America at least) they had half as many at-fault accidents per driver-kilometer than the national averages. But there's usually room for improvement and I agree, nice to see them working on it.

[@andrewchristopher7138]

I've been driving a truck for 14 years in America I find this fascinating

@Ian Visser I wish I could afford a electric car. I would love to see electric trucks takeover the industry . The effect they would have on air and noise pollution would change the world

[@robertkiell]

@Ian Visser not me... id prefer diesel power.. more reliable i just hate electric trucks till they somehow make it last 1000 miles before charge and add auto charge thing like adding 2 electric motors in front wheel just for charging batteries

[@robertkiell]

True tho... but his rules in USA is 11 hours on road , 3 hours on duty, 10 hours off duty... which equals to70 hour work time each week with 30 minutes break in middle of driving time

[@robertkiell]

HOS or hour of service

Mate, Australia 🇦🇺. rides on the back of our trucks! I love my job! Great video for SIMON, I work a few doors down from their Darwin depot! Those guys are alright. 💪😎👍

[@marktwain368]

This is an amazing look at the men/women who drive trucks that literally keep a nation alive. Much of it on two-lane blacktop. Unbelievable! They seldom get the credit they deserve so let's raise our glass to them right now! Cheers from Canada--another vast country with few highways to reach remote towns.

[@hawssie1]

lets see him back that up into loading dock that would be impressive! In really Im sure reverse is a very much unused gear when hooked up to that train.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I never thought trucking was cool until i saw these articulated semis. I don't know why they don't have turbine trucks because they would work real well in Australia. They would well on flat open ground and there are long flat terrains all over the world they would work well in. in the U.S. it may be to late because the traffic on highways, and i'm sure many of Australia's logistic centers are near highways (so these trucks can drop of trailers) so they don't have to go deep into towns and cities were they'd congested traffic. But if you zone properly so factories and intermodal facilities are located by highways/rail lines/waterways/airfields it would make a super efficient logistics network being you could move 3-4 times the goods with 1/3rd the truck drivers.

Truck drivers are in such a demand in the US that Walmart advertises on their trucks $95k-$110k($$1,800-$2,200@ week) which is pretty good for Walmart... It's also pretty crazy when convenience stores such as Rebel,Terribles and 7/11 are paying $14-$17@ hour in Vegas and that's the most I've ever scene them offer a cashier...That's our Brandon..

How many (per year) cubic kilometers of Earth could be minded?

[@robinhyperlord9053]

@@Kevy_G Thank you for the information.

[@davidfortier6976]

About fifteen years ago I read in, I think Popular Science, that mankind collectively moves enough Earth for all purposes, mostly mining and construction, to fill the Grand Canyon four times. The Grand Canyon's volume is estimated at 5.45 trillion cubic yards, which works out to almost 4 200 cubic kilometers. So if all that's correct, we move (but not necessarily mine) 12 000 to 13 000 cubic kilometers of Earth each year. The largest mine is the Bingham Canyon copper mine in Utah, USA. it is also the largest man made excavation and is allegedly visible from an orbiting space shuttle without binoculars/telescope. It is about five cubic kilometers. None of this is exactly an answer to your question, but might interest you.
