[@villainjohnnoel8075]

Hi there,i'm an Aussie who now lives and works in France, i'm also a driver.I'm originally from Melbourne, i used to run general freight from Melbourne to Geelong for Blakiston's,back then it was all flat top work,ropes,dogs,chains and tarps.I really enjoy your chanel.

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

Thanks for watching mate. I bet the transport industry is a little different in France, I imagine all rigids delivering across the countryside.

[@theolfella-d2u]

Thanks Brad for all your work, effort n time. My excuse was "No brain, No pain". Stay safe travel well, get better.

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

No pain Just brain numb ha ha. Although a few think I’ve been brain dead for a while now. Thanks for watching

I feel your pain with the flu takes a few weeks too get over it. Hows the chest maybe diflam lozenges for the throat

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

There’s no flem or soar throat, just the constant cough :(

[@davidbird3281]

I have that cough aswell, it's a pain in the butt

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

Pain in the head ha ha

[@wint44]

I think brain dead will help when it comes to feeling the cold😁

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

Yeah I know kids don’t feel the sharp changes in temp, I would of thought older blokes would

[@danielbateman2840]

Pretty sure I saw you on Monday,flashed my l9ghts and gave a wave..you were going sth bound and I was nth bound,I was in a little mover with 2 cars on heading for brissy

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

Yeah mate I think I seen you. I’ve been looking out for little car carriers

[@danielbateman2840]

finally got around to finishing this video,quick question...the first song you had on was frikkin killa,where did you get it from,if thats a band im down for that

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

@@danielbateman2840 the opening credits song is bandit express from the Smokey and the bandit 3 soundtrack. The first song of the video proper is a copyright free track off KZbin. I don’t think it’s a band, but someone that does royalty free music on KZbin and there’s heaps of different tracks

[@KylieMuir]

Brad. Geeze mate you are crook but you have to get worse to get better unfortunately. Hope by next week you are back to normal. Swans got demolished to be honest, bit embarrassing lol. Take care mate, videos will always be there when you feel better

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

While I don’t care for it, I feel for the fans in a big event like that and it’s a one sided white wash. Hopefully next week the cough’s gone :)

[@ronwarren681]

take a sicky mate

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

@@ronwarren681 ha ha I wish. I think I’ve only had a sick day once in my life when I had flash burn on the eyes. I had Monday off for the public holiday, spent the day on the couch. I may as well work and get paid

[@RoadTrainAdventures]

Pity I missed you but there is always next time.

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

@@RoadTrainAdventures yep

[@gavandavies332]

Do you get paid by hour mate?

[@Brad_The_Truckie]

No I’m on a trip rate, previous Canberra job was the same. If you or others don’t know what that means I get paid x for the run to Canberra and back, plus a little extra per drop/pick up on the way home. If I was just doing the two drops in Canberra and coming straight home it would be fine, but when I get let’s say $20 extra per pick up/drop off it’s a kick in the guys. That extra can be for a parcel dropped at a store and take 5 minutes, or the Bunnings pick up and drop off that can add 2 hours to your day and it’s the same payment. It’s why I keep slipping the Bunnings paper work across the table to the other driver ha ha. Thanks for watching mate
