We have seen this fuel tanker coming through Mullewa and off .load fuel to the BP service station. Once you are stuck behind one of these there is little hope of getting past unless the driver can find a suitable place to pull over and then let you through.How do people who have never been to Yalgoo, Mullewa and Mt Magnet think how they get their fuel. From this big tanker. AT Yalgoo there is a self service pump, where you insert your card into the pump and then key in the Dollar amount. The pump starts pumping until the dollar amount has been reached. If not satisfied, just re insert your card and key in the Dollar amount again. I have been up that part of the world for more times then I care to remember , but never ever in the summer time again. Mercury hit 50 degrees.Even the abbos wont come out in that heat.

If you look carefully at the trucking industry here in the U.S., you'll find of key determining factor that should be an indicator to anyone with average insight as to why things are as they are in regards to the quality of our truck drivers. The amount of money that truck drivers make in a year has been cut in half in the last 20 years. Now they're teaching teenagers to drive semi's. One because they will work for the wages paid and, two, they are much easier to be fooled by management. Can you guess where the money (that used to go to drivers) has gone?

Truer words have never been spoken ... All the most laid back guys I know are the ones that you really don't want to piss off. I know a guy so laid back, he is almost comatose; until some numpty at my volunteer workplace decided to truly piss him off. He went from zero to thermonuclear in 6s. And although he was outside, you could hear him clear through the single glass paine windows. I swore you could have even have seen the glass move ... heck, our two office cats, whom don't normally scare easily, especally given all the hammering, drilling, and angle grinding usually going on, scrambled for cover ... Literally everyone stopped what they were doing to hear this guy; no, he didn't tear the moron a new one, rather he pulled everything in their abdominal cavity through the hole they already had. And apart from his screaming, you could have heard a pin drop ... But the most scary thing was after it was all over, he just quietly shuffled in to the office, sat down, took a sip of a mug of tea someone made for him, and with a wry smile, said in his normally soft voice: 'I rather enjoyed that ...' ... So, as the old saying goes:- 'These three a wise man dreads: A storm at sea; A night with no moon; The wrath of a quiet man.'

I agree with that comment posted by tru3b1u31 and gm16v149.It's just not logical to build all those expensive stuff when you can send a supply road train very 4weeks or so.That just works out cheaper than a pipeline or railway.

that engine sound will make you fall in love, but to me, mine was very unreliable. those engine are very prone to injectors problem. rebuilding any motor top/bottom is expensive; however, doing an inframe is the cheapest on the n14.

how old is this clip? 90's? It seems quite old to me cause the pc monitors and the music at the end of the clip. ;-) Also the N14 Series seems to me quite old. But i don't know for sure cause i am european and all american trucks look to me quite similar from the 80's to now. ;)

I heard cabover semis are pretty common down there unlike up here in the USA where they're rare nowadays. Back in the 1980s & down, there were a lot of both cabover & conventional cab semis here in the USA, today most cabover semis have phased out & more conventional cab semis took their places.
@kevinrichards3288 Жыл бұрын
@seanbayley7452 over here in the USA🇺🇸, at first I didn't know why most of them phased out & then I've learned it was because the length & weight limits were increased which made them no longer necessities.

Great video, it takes alot to live and work in placers that can only be supplied by trucks this big I suspect. But people are adaptable and so are trucks.
