Truck crashes. My reviews. Dash cam.

2 videos of truck crashes.

[@dannygayler90]

I was an O D until 2009 , nightmares of little wheels , putting my 25 and 26 metre B Doubles to the test I witnessed several fatal , the last one was caused by a rigid sideswiping a loaded log truck ; the driver of the log truck was incinerated and the driver of the offending rigid survived only to die in hospital a few days later . My message , if your tired , stop and rest , "Life is Too Precious to waste"!

[@jaybomb8371]

Bloody good driving skills. Gold stars for both!!! Cheers Ausgranny 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍👍👍

[@aaronkratzmann9703]

Both those drivers are cool freaking customers. That second fella deserves all his beers bought by Subaru guy for the rest of his life.

[@michaelhyde-parker6344]

some absolutely amazing skills of those drivers to keep it all upright. Some years ago while driving to our local shopping center, my wife & I witnessed a truck roll over due to the truck losing his brakes (no maxi brakes so when his air went he kept going). He was loaded with about 20 ton of dirt in a 70km zone with a slight downgrade approaching a red light with several stopped cars. He made the decision to attempt a 90 degree left turn to avoid smashing into the stopped traffic. He made it but hit the traffic island causing the whole tractor & trailer to roll over only 80 yards in front of us. He saved lives that day.

I thought most semis have S-cam air brakes, they have an override spring that locks the brakes if there's a problem. Sorry but I can't understand how that accident could've happened.

[@michaelhyde-parker6344]

@@andrewking4885 this was about 20 years ago & the truck was a number of years old by that time so maybe didn't have that particular setup. On modern air brakes the brake chambers have 2 parts. one actuates using air when the pedal is depressed, the 2nd is the emergency side that locks everything up if the air goes. I used to fit these later brake units as upgrades when I was an apprentice in the early 90s but a lot of trucks didn't have them as standard.

[@mini_steve]

Forgot about this one. Can we all appreciate how well ol' mates cargo was secured. Not one car fell off the truck.

[@dryroo]

It seems safety, common sense and manners are optional extras for some. Your summing up is perfect. Please be safe and careful out there, every one has a right to get home safe and sound

[@stevenchandler4218]

How true you are Terry. I am sure half the drivers have their eyes and ears shut when driving. Thanks for the videos I have watched all of them 😎

[@arminius3808]

Car drivers always cut in front of my truck. And if I had of hit one, all the other car drivers would assume it was me in my truck at fault, I’ve had horses get injured because of it. (I do horse transport) and it sux that these expensive horse suffered because of uneducated, selfish drivers plus the medical bills the owner has to spend.

[@Blackwater_House]

Professional Drivers, both of them. Thank God.

[@huskypilot6305]

Great vid Tez. We Aussie truck drivers have to deal with some crazy things, but both of the drivers in this vid saved many lives with their awareness. I’m glad we still have skilled drivers roaming around our country

[@tezthetruckie]

Thank you.so am I.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

I only drive a 10 pallet rigid in Sydney. The amount of fuckwits I deal with is bad enough I can't imagine how bigger truckers deal with it

[@huskypilot6305]

@@XaviRonaldo0 we all play a part in the big game of transport mate. If you can do multi drop in Sydney, you must have some awareness of your surroundings. Upgrade your license when you can, then you will make better money. I started with rigids in Brisbane, now doing linehaul for $480 a night

[@XaviRonaldo0]

@@huskypilot6305 it's cool for now. Plus my truck is small enough so if I ever do a run to Newy or anywhere far enough I don't need to fill out a work diary

[@louiskats5116]

Well said Terry, well said

[@brendaeulenstein4255]

Yep, saw that one at Dalby. I think it should be made a rule that ALL dark and any coloured cars have thier lights on at all times. The trouble is, a lot of people just mozzy along when passing semi's. Ya gotta floor it and get round em asap. 🙂 🚗💨

[@XaviRonaldo0]

The most stupid thing is that car apparently sat behind past multiple overtaking lanes. Why pass up the opportunity for safe overtake to just do something like that? The worst thing is the truckie was probably on the hook for all the damage to his rig.

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

5:28 they are good drivers and have guardian angles watching them!.

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

Great share brother. Thanks mate , good to see some have the skills to keep them upright.

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

The log book hahah we never filled log book out leaving Melbourne until got to west Wyalong, that way have enough time to run it right threw.

[@tezthetruckie]

Thanks 👍

[@tezthetruckie]

When I living and working on the farm.My first 2 log books I never fill out a page. They just went out of date. Lol

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

@@tezthetruckie hahah lol keep it up right mate. Thanks

[@56music64]

congrats Terry on 1.32k subscribers. Interesting vid, good driving by those guys. Also just told my husband your fridge, Elephant and Giraffe joke and he liked it

[@tezthetruckie]

Thanks 👍

[@craigcook3943]

the system is in a sad state of affairs when the truckie new he would be in more trouble over paperwork then the crash.

[@Dave_1969]

new to your channel and enjoying your video's , they are a real eye opener keep them coming 😎😁😎

[@tezthetruckie]

Thank you Dave

[@XaviRonaldo0]

You should watch the DCOA latest monthly compilation. 2 truckers having a screaming match over the radio over a merging incident. Would love to hear your opinion

[@tezthetruckie]

I have a look later

Hi Peter. Just done a review on that video. It be up later today. Thanks 👍

[@gwaeron8630]

First time watching. No idea what was said in the last 1 minute due to audio being so low. That fuel leak in the first one would be unpleasant to deal with.

[@Produce9AE]

Some people have no comprehension of what 85t will do to their 1.5t car!

[@RachelEvans680]

Sometimes unfortunately a hard lesson learned is the last thing ever learned in their life... PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY and show these hard working truckers a ton of courtesy on the road. Better off being late and in one piece rather than the horrific alternative.

[@t-dog8528]

Well handled

[@darrencrick6711]

Tell job came up good control

[@arminius3808]

They saved a lot of lives, I bet the last one, the ppl he saved just kept driving, truck probably had 10k plus damage. I used to do horse transport and when you got 30 million dollar racehorse stallions on board, my main concern is the horses, I’ll do what I can to prevent idiots losing their lives, but if you drive dangerously around trucks you will lose and my horses will be alright mostly.

[@spiderbrandt4066]

Just found this again did you see the Fuel poring out of the fuel tank on the car carrier ? ( I use to drive one of them ). Some time ago I saw a this Video and it showed what happened to the the Tipper the Black car you can just see in front of him Braked and put his indicator on coursing the Tipper to Jack Knife

[@tezthetruckie]

Yes i did mate

[@glenngolding6375]

Look like the other truck lock breaks then jackknife.

[@tezthetruckie]

That's what it looks like to me as well Glenn.

[@CrazyWhiteVanDriver]

1:45 should he have been going that fast, wet, roadworks etc..

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Not trying to victim blame (for the gen Y out there) but especially in a black car on country roads you should have headlights on.

[@l3n221]

Tez, question.. why did he pull out his log book out. Sorry might sound like a silly question but i dont know.

[@tezthetruckie]

Just take not of the time and where it happen.

[@stevegibbs7211]

It might be just me but most of the accidents where the truck seems to be at fault are mostly tippers is it a mind set or are the rates that low that it promotes some very very rash decisions

[@joebloggs830]

Driving tippers if you're too heavy on the steering the loads shifts and then pulls the truck over.
