Rig shift to the Northern Territory. See a 4 trailer 170 ton Kenworth road train. Helicopter ride in the Kimberley, Western Australia. Cab ride in my Cat 3408 powered Kenworth.
Thanks for that video. Currently sitting in the uk for a couple of months and feeling mighty homesick. Don't forget to set your watch to Cocklebiddy time !
hi Chris i am always glad to watch one of your video It was a long trip and i am always fascinate by your country thanks for sharing Have a good weekend Pat
Glad to see you back too. Another great video, always look forward to them. Such a beautiful country you live in, never ceases to fascinate me. Noticed the Haliburton name on the mining equipment you delivered at the first of the vid. I, and the little company I work for build a lot of 550 gallon stainless steel tanks for them. They have been a steady customer for many years now. Once again, great video. Thanks!
The 3408 is still going well, plenty of work on at the moment. Pulled the sump off today to fix an oil leak, it would be easy except for the Brakesaver which has oil pipes going everywhere.
Thanks for your reply, I love trucks and the outback and have great respect for the highly experienced operators. I would love to do a trip in a big rig in the outback one day.

I think im back now..if i ask the cook nicely to use her new laptop) Im hoping for a start in the Pilbara diggin a pipeline in or buildin a new railway..find out next week.. be able to buy me own bloody laptop then..lol
@HillbillyonaYZ They are pretty big in Australia on the oilfields. I met a couple of their guys on site from Colorado and they had just flown in from winter over there to 110 deg F heat.
G'Day Chris it's a great video I just back online at home so no company terminal computer restrictions. Cocklebiddie has a lot roos but how many mosquitoes? The helicopter ride looked like fun I got a ride in a Kiowa helicopter when I was in the army. I like the ride since it didn't make me airsick.
