The Road Train - My Home Away from Home - Playing in Pilbara

[@dont9098]

Hi Tony Much prefer these type of videos where you tell us what is happening, Thank you I've worked as an electrician underground in the mines for many years and now I've got my own truck and trailer and going to spend the rest of my career as a truck driver. My brother has driven trucks all his life, including those quads going to Port Newman Take Care Mate

Well, let me tell you a little secret, in 1990 when I first come to Australia I was a electrician and soon I started to work for a contractor in domestic and commercial electrical work to get the necessary local experience and to get my own electrical license. Until couple of years later when I almost died of heat exhaustion in the roof of a house replacing the old metal tubing wiring work, that was the turning point in my career and having it in my blood from my father who was a truck driver all his life was very easy for me to start.

Hi Tony yes my wiring was through a metal tube I had it taken out now it’s all plastic I have a shack just past Mandurah I got all the baker light fuse board taken out and put a brand new set up in I put aircon in 2 years ago and I have ceiling fans. The shack about 65 years old I’ve had it for about 30 years I won’t tell you what I paid for it you cry I’ve enjoyed your video very much with you telling us about it Thank you

Another trouble free trip, good. Do you check your trailer axle temps on your trips Tony?.

[@roadtraindrivingwithtonyivanq]

Not with a thermometer, just by touching by hand.
