Road Train Sydney to Perth-Is It the Batteries or the Starter - Reheated 

Yes I get that but as long as you have enjoyed your life so far...

No Charly. I only use the clutch to put it into gear and take off. From then I change by getting the revs and speed of the truck matched.

I can't use the clutch.

I find them more terrible than they're worth. I only use them if I'm doing really dirty work or tarps.

Awesome. Thanks Steven

Wow 17 a day. That's more than I could handle.

@@RoadTrainAdventures you’d have the last one and 5 minutes later you’re in bed passed out

@gavindereus3643 oh very good

I can't use the clutch or I will grind the gears. On this trip to Perth I'm going to make a video showing how I go through and change gears going up and down a big hill.

They do periodic maintenance but when it comes to some things, like batteries, they may be fine one day, then fail the next.

Thanks Karen. They are a great company to work for.

Very nice. Thanks Graeme. It's great to have you along.

Thanks Brian I'll check out the sausage rolls. Lucky I had access to a high pressure cleaner such made cleaning it all off easy.

I use a function called 'Active Track' on the drone which can follow me.

Very nice. It's great to have you along.

هذا ليس جيدا.

Oh good stuff. Perth had always been behind playing catch up. The government never wants to spend the money.

Thanks Garry. Who knows. One day I could work in a driving school.

Wow Ady. I haven't heard from you in a long time. No that wasn't me but I did pass it a few hours ago. Most of it has been cleared up now.

@@RoadTrainAdventures that's good then as long as your ok. I'm still watching and loving the videos. Waiting for a shout out one day. Stay safe and thanks for showing me places in Oz

I'll try to remember in my next video

@@RoadTrainAdventures stay safe out there. I know you will but we would miss you if anything happened

I'll try to be careful.

It depends where I'm driving and what footage I want to take. Two camera when I'm driving along. Sometimes only one camera when I get out of the truck. Then there is the drone too. All up I have six cameras. I go through phases. When I got the big camera I would always use that but layer I go the GoPro and that was really easy to use but now, as it's been really windy I still use the big camera with the deadcat mike.

I was in the process of setting up a merchandise store but that is turning out to be hard.

It's all a part of the job Jose

Thanks Craig. Yes I don't have any fear of a little dirt.

No Jeff this is like a Gen3. Cummins EGR.

Oh thanks heaps. I see other people doing but wasn't sure if it was right for me.

It actually turned out to be the starter motor so that probably wouldn't have helped this time.

For sure Tony. No one else drives my truck but I'll be sure to give it a spray. 😉

Thanks Alan. I rarely have any mishaps. Most of my trips go very uneventful, which is good.

Thanks heaps. It's great to have you along from South India

Unfortunately my truck doesn't have the battery tray that you can pull out otherwise that would have made it a lot easier.

Thanks again Geert

It’s a old video that’s being reposted

Thanks1

I'm on holidays at the moments so I'm not putting out any videos for four weeks. Re-runs like TV.

👍

👍

I've done tautliners as a road train but no fridges

@RoadTrainAdventures That's great. I love the rig. She's a beauty. I love the videos. It's great you collaborate with Ken from Lindsay Transport. A brilliant idea. You both have got me hooked. I'm about to watch your recent vlog to Townsville. Keep up the great work. You both do a fantastic job. Stay safe. Cheers 👍🏽.

Will do

Thanks Chris. I wish I could make these longer videos so the time bit they take a lot more time to make. Getting the extra footage then editing it together to look great.

The camera pointing a little low. Yeah sorry. Sometimes it's hard to look at the camera and where I'm walking at the same time. I only find out later when I check the footage.

Oh and yes, when I leave the traffic of the city it's great. Just being able to drive with no one in front of you.

Thanks Ady. It's great to have you along. What country are you living in?

UK. Lincoln. East Midlands. We have spoke before

Yes I recognise your name. Can you travel all around Europe though?

I must try and remember to do more videos of how I change gears

@@RoadTrainAdventures oh yes please, this would be very very interesting 🙂👌👍

OK let's see what I can do this year.

Thanks

Thanks again

Wow. I've never had one explode so I'm still not worried about that happening. So you know how this happened?

@@RoadTrainAdventures No. That's the problem. It could have been anything. Perhaps the fast charger was not set correctly. I checked that later and the button was set correctly. Maybe he hadn't connected it properly to the batteries. When you charge ore fast charge a battery, gases are released, maybe he had a cigarette in his mouth, and boom. But he was a very experienced colleague, so I thought he could do no wrong. He said that he did nothing wrong and that he was not smoking. Maybe he didn't do anything wrong and a spark came from the engine that caused the gases to explode. Maybe a spark when connecting the fast charger. Then there is the question of whether it would not have happened if I had done it myself. These are all uncertainties that I cannot figure out what was wrong. Aldo i was sorry for his face. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital emergency room. I saw him later and still had some scratches in his face,but all good and would desapear. Only thing i can say is when you do a quick start,ore charge a empty battery. Dont stand next to it !. Some kind of story for Ron, @Free's Brisbane. lol

Yes I hear you on all your ideas Friday went wrong. I'll be careful the next time.

@@RoadTrainAdventures You now the job and what you are doing. Whe sure know you are careful.

For sure

Very good. I just wish they weren't so hard to make

Thanks Jessica

Thanks Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan

Thanks Rachel

Howdy back at ya. Wow. I can't imagine snow. To try driving around snow one day.

Johnno. From the year's1982 to 2000 I drove a Salt/Plow truck. The Salt melts the Snow and Ice. Imagine your 20 tonnes trying to control your braking and steering on a sheet of Ice Lots of your rear end glued to the seat.

Yeah that sounds like fun until you run into someone. Ha ha

@@RoadTrainAdventures Johnno. I have some pictures for me driving/plowing snow; from a snow fall back in 1993...28 inches of snow (71 cm) I'll try to send them to you.

Wow. That the stuff I've only seen on movie

Ha ha. Never for me. I hate auto.

I should have worded that different . I was being a smart ar** . As you never used the clutch while changing gears . Annnnd Kenny drives an Auto😁😁 @@RoadTrainAdventures

Yeah I thought that was what you meant.

Anytime. I must remember to do more great changing in future videos.

@@RoadTrainAdventures Thanks and I’m now subscribed 👍🇦🇺

Feel free to let know know about anything else you'd like to see in these videos.

Thanks Alan

Yes, as he labeled it “Reheated”. He is on holiday atm.

I'm replaying it in case you missed something the first time. Ha ha. No I'm on for weeks holidays so this is the re-runs like TV does.

👍

Ok no problem

👍

He’s working for Lumbars trucking so you will need to ask them.

@@black7987echo He might own his truck & be a private contractor! To me the truck looks like he owns!

Yes you'd have to ring the office. I just do what they tell me to do.

👍

No I'm just an employee who works for Lumbar's.
