Truck Vlog #17 II Roadtrain From Beautiful North Queensland! II Tully To Brisbane

All enquiries: [e-mail]
This one hits different! Welcome back to another vlog guys in this video we start things off a little different by loading up on a farm near Tully up in North Queensland. After that its back down to Townesville to hook back up as a Roadtrain and then plant my foot all the way back to Brisbane as usual. I apologise for the change of mood halfway through the video as i got really sick but pushed through because nothing was gonna stop me getting home lol i hope you guys enjoy this one as much as i enjoyed making it! lets go for a drive!

im currently training to be a trucker, and i REALLY appreciate you including the routine stuff like your checks at 6:00, thanks for making the video, im learning a lot watching you.

[@manjulamail]

Hey mate,Thanks for bringing back my old memories through Emerald. You done a fantastic job there showing all the route through it

[@roberthocking9138]

That camera angle on the head rest was the best yet 👍

[@tristandavies4381]

Good to see the vlogs again. Glad you can do them. Love the camera angle. Scenery looks amazing.

[@brettdoss2367]

My stomping ground. How amazing are the views once you get about 40k south of Rolleston! Love your work mate! I did that stretch from Emerald to Roma last week twice, never gets old!

[@The_Aussie_Truckie]

Mate if you didn't know that they ran triples up there this will make your head spin under PBS there running triples around Sydney now I've seen a few on the Hume and M7 to Eastern Creek

[@crossfamilytrucking]

Yep I’ve seen them around Sydney and down the Hume mate they’re B triples though up north they’re full length triples

[@arronhyde]

Omg the indicator sound is horrendous 😂 does it give you nightmares

[@blokebeershed7651]

You can chuck a wheel nut cover over it

[@robitybob6820]

Young fellow, if it’s that steep straight out of overdrive into direct then full gear changes after that. Less chance of a cock up. Nice vid just the same.

[@TruckingwithChopper]

Bloody awesome Vlog yet again! North Queensland is beautiful and the scenery is amazing. Gotta love that Jake too 👍🏻

[@JohnAmbachtsheer-h3n]

Just another day mate, travel safe.

[@HBvD]

So weird, in remebered the hills instantly.. then you said Tully. Been there more then 10 years ago with my wife as a tourist (from the netherlands), by accident we had the slower train from Darwin to Proserpine. Years passed and now i also have my truck drivers license, just as a hobby. Next to my normal job. Keep trucking, hope to visit Australië again sometime!

[@evolveausevolveaus]

Much love big fella, hope you are getting time with the family 😊

[@bar-x859]

Headrest camera view was wicked

[@johnjordan4647]

Hey Mate you should have come a bit further north to the Atherton Tablelands as North Queensland gets even better

[@mauvais6196]

ya deleted that pack of double happiness bossman hahaha

[@aydenpatterson6081]

Ha man love your videos and it is good to see you on KZbin again

[@mugez92]

Top vid mate! Enjoyed the new pov from the head rest 👍🏻 Jandals 🤦‍♂️ Thongs 😂

[@roberthocking9138]

Good to see you back again. What were those crops in Tully at the start of the video ?

[@canuckaussie7092]

Probably sugarcane mate! Looks like tall grass.

[@DarthPaddius]

Good to see you mate. Loving the red truck. You are so right about north Queensland, I so love it up there, if I had my way, I would totally move there. If you are ever in Cairns, my brother has a bakery there, great coffee and top notch food. It's called "Baked on Red Hill" in Woree.

[@krisevans3554]

Ushhh bro, that head rest angle is great. Would be even more primo with a wide angle lens on

[@jamesru1]

There's a quad and a 5 trailer that runs carrots from NSW to SA through Vic

[@crossfamilytrucking]

Nah they only run quads on the road mate I’ve seen them that five trailer is just around the farm I think. Not sure how they’re doing it they must be on special permit to run those quads because nobody else is allowed to

[@jamesru1]

@@crossfamilytrucking I've only seen a video of the 5 trailer and I think the quads have a turning range close to a b double so that's how they got it approved there's a video on KZbin explaining the quad

[@ericarey64]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your vlogs Bro', keep up the good work...Following on FB. Ps, du buy you new Jandals LOL.

[@XNick291X]

That hill looked like a challenge!

[@Sharpie88643]

Another pretty legend sar

[@deezelkane]

Got my HC road ranger this weekend, and watching your vlogs was a huge factor in doing so. Keep up the great work mate Edit- had a chuckle to myself seeing a don Watson truck pull out of a side street as I was doing my assessment lol

[@crossfamilytrucking]

Awesome to hear brother good luck on your new adventure 👍

[@jamesru1]

That's how I moved to Brisbane from North Vic 9 years ago last week came up for a week holiday 2 weeks later I moved up at 17 best thing I done

[@alexrademeyer]

Which do you prefer of the trucks you drove? Auto vs manual. How good is the auto upshifting and down shifting? Jake brakes on these trucks? Looking forward to your reviews Thanks in advance

[@dlp8669]

Bruce hwy Stuart in Tsv I work just past the set of lights there where you turned right out to charters towers and ole mate carrying the cattle would've been heading to the yard at work

[@joshuamatthews7919]

Awesome view from passengers seat and cool 2 see another vlog tumeke Cher👍up brother quick question run down on what you driving

[@crossfamilytrucking]

Cheers brother the truck is a SAR legend 50th anniversary edition 👍

[@xzseng4524]

That cabin looks darn small for someone who would need to drive a road train?

[@Louie2309]

Geez, seems like a lot of fcking around to get two trailers to Brisbane. Instead of heading out through Charters Towers, Emerald and spilt at Gatton, just run. B Double straight down the Bruce.

[@matthewlittle1455]

Conjunctivitis must be going round I woke up the other day with it from my kids nothing worse they sore / uncomfortable eyes

[@nohatejustlove19]

Bro you need a (volunteer) apprentice on your trips? 😅 Be awesome to see more the country side so if you're ever passing through Melbourne and need a camera man 🙋

[@RossGregory-n4y]

Hi mate have ever been to the Melbourne Wholesale Market’s in Epping.

Next time when you are in there thanks

Hello 👋 Hey HI and Howdy Neighbor. Cleveland Tennessee Waivin a Hand 👋.. I'm a little behind on Shows by my favorite KZbinrs~ trying to play catch-up LOL shows

[@ESPSJ]

Headrest camera worked great I reckon. So cool to see the scenery up north, great video mate. If you're looking for more camera angles (I think the headrest cam is excellent) you could try setting up the camera in the bunk. I tried it a while ago and uploaded it on my other channel, it wasn't perfect but with a bit of messing around I am sure it would look good especially in a narrow cab like the SAR. I had the camera on a hardhat, then that was on top of my work bag which was on top of the mattress lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TFXpZpmLWYpLs

[@crossfamilytrucking]

I’ll give it a go mate love the creativity lol

[@darrelbartlett4118]

Great view from the passenger seat, keep more of that vision coming as it's good to see what your doing with gear shifts and the road ahead at the same time. Safe travels.

Hey bro, thanks alot for bring back the vlogs. Love the old/new school SAR Legend. Please don't ever edit out the Kenworth blinkers sound

[@Cam_Mac80]

Highlight of Emerald cross-roads was walking across the road to gloria jeans. Was a rare treat in a truck. Showers were always pretty bad though.

[@dylanruprecht5471]

have u driven a scania im european and i see this old trucks and think that cant be comfortable to drive them it rattles and looks like from 60s i would use a scania but hey personal prefference

[@blokebeershed7651]

That truck isn't that old

[@nicholaswaddell4141]

Scanias are still rough in central Queensland haha it’s the road mate not the truck

[@user-xg4vn3vi1w]

This is a newer sar legend, it's not old at all, it was recently resold as it was repossessed from previous owner!!

[@worldgamingindia7441]

Sir, Namaste Sir, if you have been driving in Australia, then you have experience outside. Sir, I want to become a new driver. I want to go to Dubai and after Dubai maybe go to Europe or America in two-four years. Sir, but I have a problem with one thing? I have seen this at many places and I see it true on the internet too. Research is going on right now like driverless cars and trucks. It looks like this, research is going on in America and everywhere else. Driverless tax and trucks: Do you believe that driverless tax and buses and trucks will no longer require drivers? When she leaves, I too get scared of talking to her. That's why I think more about whether I should go into this field. What is your opinion? What about this? The need for drivers will disappear in the next 20 years. Trucks and buses will run without a driver.

[@engineerv8696]

When I worked for TMR in Emerald, I managed a project to rehab that section of highway near Rolleston to improve grip for trucks. There is a particularly steep area that was always flushing up and the trucks would lose traction on it all the time and have to roll back to the bottom and try again.

[@nickharding2926]

I like the video you make it was really great seeing tropical North Queensland and outback Queensland and I can't wait for your next vlog keep on trucking 👍

[@jackkrause6936]

Hey mate, are you enjoying this new job and the variety of drops and stuff including farms? Or finding it more challenging not just looking for distro centres.
