A great comment on fatigue at the end - and that is the whole reason behind the log books! We can't get enough good truckies today for our losing any needlessly! Recognising fatigue is difficult - accepting it that close to home is heroic! The big transport companies are doing a great job supporting drivers (mind you the penalties for not doing so would be cripling). There is never a standard shift in your line of work - things change all the time on the road. Every Job is a new adventure. I love your vids.

Well done 👍 for admitting you can’t drive. 20 years ago we wouldn’t have the guts to say that to a employer as they would have laughed at us and said toughen up and drive. Looking forward to the Saturday night live, what time do think you’ll be starting.

Crackin vid mate, thoroughly enjoy your content. When you are winding up or down your trailer legs on the street have you considered grabbing a collapsible traffic cone to keep in the cab for those times? $12 from bunnings... money well spent in my books. Great call on the fatigue area. I drove for 17 years now I'm in fleet management and I will tell you that is one of the smartest calls a driver can ever make. When one puts the safety of others and the company's reputation over saving a few dollars it speaks volumes of their character. Bring on the next vid!

Hi there bud. ANGUS here from NZ again. Can you demonstrate how the air lines connected and disconnect from your truck and the two trailers please. Here in NZ we have a different set-up coupling our air lines on our truck and trailer units and b- trains units. They are call duo & tri matics couplers with two or three air lines join together to a aluminium coupling device with a handle which you pull down and fits together. Need to show you by photos. Being a ex Kiwi you might seen this set up while you were still living in NZ or maybe not.
