Triple Road Train for MacKay

Triple Road Train for MadKay
I picked up three trailers from Perth heading to MacKay. One of our other drivers brought my third across for me which I connected up at North Bourke.

Your drone footage is always excellent, we can see a lot of interesting things from the air. Those coal mines are simply gigantic. Your triple looks fantastic, nothing beats a true Aussie road train. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. 🤠

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks and if you like the shots of the mine, I'll show the rest of the footage plus some night time footage of the mines. Looks great at night with the lights.

Great insight to trucking life. Cheers

Thanks Roger. Great to have you along.

Thanks and great to have you along.

Hi from France, it's just unbelievable what you do day-in,day-out and i'm Australian......my little petrol tanker would probably be shorter than your prime-mover with only one trailer....and you make it look so easy.....well as they say over here "bravo". Luv ya chanel.

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Ha ha. But we're all still truck drivers doing it service.

[@dextermorgan5893]

Man you cover some kilometres Johnno! Love the truck,awesome drone footage mate. Dont you love piggy backing,and those tarp jobs! Safe travels back to Perth,hope you enjoyed the cholesterol burger 🍔 cheers mate

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Dexter. I actually got a fish burger which was great.

Hello from Los Angeles 🇺🇸, man your videos are AWESOME 👏👏👏

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks man

[@darrenprior6339]

Mate, awesome footage. Love your channel. Pumping this stuff out while working hard on the job is a massive effort. Appreciate it. Some of those joints in FNQ are sweat boxes at night. Hope you're staying cool in that kennel mate. Cheers

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Darren. I'll try to keep it up.

[@BruceShirley]

Hey Johnno awesome job you’re doing , some awesome drone work and a bit of history. Looking from NZ ,Australia is vast . Really enjoyed your work. Take care stay safe over there. Catch you on the next one. Again thank you

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks again Bruce

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

Yes that a pain with hook up and unhook. I was told to, it was very hot back home . Lucky you miss all the water . Some flooding happening I hear

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yes all over

[@JackSparrow-hh2lh]

very cool video, loved the drone shots. I can imagine they are quite a lot of work to pull of! small thing, though: your talking in the beginning was very quiet and kinda hard to understand, maybe you can improve that a little bit next time :)

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Sorry about the audio. I usually fix any sound issues.

[@JackSparrow-hh2lh]

@@RoadTrainAdventures no need to be sorry, just wanted to let you know. Nobody's perfekt :)

[@malcolmolle8984]

Thanks for all the video’s, what was the result of the low oil pressure problem in the Cummins ? Cheers

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I dropped a liner so it was a complete engine rebuild.

[@graycocko7060]

G'day Johnno, just started to watch your videos as I saw you on Tez's videos and that drone footage was spectacular but I've got to ask you how is it done while your driving. Just like you I'm in the transport business too, only I transport the little rug rats to and from school. Would kill some days to have the solitude you have!!!

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

These modern drones are programmable to follow me as well as programming it to fly certain patterns.

[@nessotty9790]

With the new ring road going around Rockhampton will you be able to take the road train

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Very nice

[@spiderbrandt4066]

I enjoy your videos they take me back to places I've worked or a place I bought my 39 Ford , places like Clermont , Blackall , Mackay , Sarna , Goonyella Riverside and 7 of the Cole mines , sorry I'm being a bit long winded . love your Channel , O I'm all so a retired trucker .

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Thanks Spider

[@1bradhannon]

Great videos , how do you drive and work the drone at the same time ?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

I use a function called 'Active Track' reducing will follow me.

Thanks for the video Johnno. See a report in Big Rigs a couple of your compatriots from WA were naughty boys and got caught on the Barrier Highway in SA. Muiltiple offences ,unregistered trailers, no log books ,drugs etc. Give the honest hardworking truckies a bad name. They weren’t exactly young neither. Stay safe and enjoy the tarps

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Yeah John I saw that. I won't comment on it but would like to do more videos about that.

[@vanhoangtrieu4332]

[@MiniLuv-1984]

The drone footage made it feel like were were watching a hollywood blockbuster...waiting for Arney to beat up some guys, but instead we get Johnno! Mrs. says she likes your videos - "different".

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Sorry Ben. I couldn't afford Arney this time so I had to step in. Ha ha

@@RoadTrainAdventureswhat is a BFM?

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

@@SF-iv5lp It's called Basic Fatigue Management. It allows me to work 14 hours a day over a 17 hour period instead of the standard 12 hours a day.

[@louiskats5116]

Goodday Johno, Absolutely stunning footage from the drone. Just the thought of tarping down 3 x trailer loads of wool. Good luck with that. The 909 looking good all this criss crossing Australia ask your boss you want a 60 inch sleeper next time. Stay safe Cheers Louis Kats 👍

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Oh yeah

[@Grewalrajivlogs]

You have to go to the Gracemere Sale yards. There is a section down the back on the left where the hook up area is.
