V8 Mack Pulling 3 Trailers Part 2

[@Raynewyn]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. This took me back to my childhood with my Dad doing these same runs from Townsville to Mt. Isa, Townsville to Cairns or Townsville to Brisbane and just about everywhere in between. This was back in the 80's and from the looks of it NOTHING has changed. God I love and miss Queensland. Cheers :)

Awesome seeing these videos of the V8 Mack Pulling 3 Trailers. :) Thank you, Troy!

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Great videos, thanks for sharing. Truckies around most of the world will be envying your wide open spaces n empty roads.

[@MandoMohan]

I so much enjoyed taking this trip with you. Was hoping to see 'Charlie's Trousers'. Really enjoyed this. Thanks so much.

Love your videos man Australia has got to be one of the pretties places in my opinion love to go there someday

[@partymanau]

Love the triple tanker at the end of the clip, great vid bloke.

[@BMJSpectre1962]

what the f! since 95 i have been doing the world (geophysics) but I am balling my eyes out at a mac and julia creek, yup being an aussie is a very cool thing, all of us!

[@dixietrukr]

cool videos.if i couldnt drive in north America id be headed to Australia.looks like fun and yall still make cabovers which i really like.

[@FVAS2007]

Awesome video...enjoyed that. I'd hate to see what you could do with a Gopro camera system! Very high quality video in a small package...would truly show off the scenery as well as your escapades. Your videos are always enjoyable...always look forward to them.

usually double up the trailers and dollys using loading ramps, but a mobile crane is also handy and quicker

You need to have your HR open licence for a year, before you can do the course to get your MC licence. Here in QLD you can skip your HC and move straight to the MC. I'll be doing this early next year and Major training here in Brissie do a 2 1/2 day course-think it cost's about $2000. Alternativly there are apprentiship programs for young truckies up North. One thing though-all employers need you to show experience before they employ you. Start small, LR or MR and gain experience.

good stuff troy mate love it was doing the same thing as you most them days watching them nice sunsets.and in reply to the younger fella wanting to drive,i m 23 i have a road train licence.you have to have your car licence for 2 years and you go to hr and then move to hc then mc licence through a driving school mate.best job in the world mate just keep interested .so watch troys vid mate .

Drove US Army trucks in Thailand on left side of road. Big trucks required codriver to see centerline of road. Narrow roads where I was.

[@techracer100]

Great video's-thank you for sharing them :)

[@mycosys]

Thanks for sharin m8. Reckon the difference could be a Torque vs HP thing? HP only gives you top speed, torque will give you speed up a hill or acceleration. Also - whya song about drug addiction?

Hey Troy, Just got the same response from gm16v149 but for the life of me I can't remember these ramps all about the place. Do you put a set on a top ramp and back under and pull them on to your A trailer? A container fork seems to make the most sense. Anyhows, a look at a double up procedure would be cool. With all the mining gearing up the future looks good for heavy haul you reckon? Cheers mate!

[@born2flyau]

You will have to get onto your boss Steve and have him put the OLD MACK on the dyno and see how many horsepower it is really putting out. It sounds like something is wrong with the old engine. It should be putting out a lot more power than it is especially with the low gearing.

[@TonusMahonus]

Great videos mate, how about doing some on hooking up trailers of different types and videos on restraining loads weight calculations also. cheers

[@4554dy]

Back at it Troy! How'se your back treating you? Quick query ,how do you double up those trailers ? Do you hire a fork at a roadhouse stop or does your boss(Steve) organize all the logistics? I use to haul cars all over regional Queensland back in the early nineties for TDG(patricks,now Toll) Been in the States since 96. Cheers mate!

[@paxam40]

I wish you have youre own tv reality show. Try our abc. Cheers.
