Hello from an old British trucker in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Howdy young fellow. Great to see more people making videos. You've done very well.

Looking forward to future vids from you mate, wish I would have had the guts to do that 30yrs ago, big respect 👍

The green conveyer on the Port Lincoln wharf , My partners uncle was one of the engineers when it was built

Great vid young one , watching in Coneygarth truck stop North Yorkshire, heading up in to gods country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with malt for a distillery.

One day I will get to Oz. I want to drive a Road Train! I lived in China and lost my UK HGV Class 1 licence at age 50, because DVLA require a European doctor to certify the paperwork. Interesting video, thanks for making it. Stay safe. Best wishes from Bangkok.

Amazing video. I love seeing how other countries do trucking compared to America. Can't wait to see more.

Different industry but I came out here in 2003 on a 417 and haven’t looked back. There’s a few other channels on here including homeless trucky that you might want to have a look at. Thanks for helping out. We are so short of truck drivers currently. Hope you get to make some good coin and have an adventure too. I’ll keep a eye out for future vids.

Really good video Fin. Great insight into what you do

Hello from an 80 yr. Old retired Trucker. Note the capital. T in Trucker because we all deserve it. We haul the life line for the world. Every thing you have was most likely got to you by a truck. I have been a Trucker for most of my 40 yrs. of working prior to my retirement in Sept. Of the year 2000.

Cracking vlog,glad I've found you! I spent 8 weeks in Perth back in 2000,and kept finding myself at the BP truckstop at Keydale. Had a class one since 1990,wish I d moved now! My sister and brother in law are in Adelaide. Steve my brother in law is on the spanners for Scania,who moved them over from the UK and they love it. Keep the vids coming,stay safe.

Fantastic video mate love road trains and Scania’s great insight into the work you do, I’m now a subscriber keep them coming mate and stay safe 👍🤟

Hello Mate. Great video. Formerly from London now living in Houston, TX. Show us more of the trailers if you can as you go along. Interestingly there are a few states here in the USA that allow road trains (3 trailers) on the interstates.

Good to see the job out there 👍I've been out in Canada 14yrs now on long haul wish I'd gone to Aus now sick of the winters here 😂 keep the vids coming 👍

Awesome content dude👍🏻

I'm from the US and I'll be going to drive there soon hopefully

Great video Fin, I recognised the truck from harvest time while I was carting in our own grain to the Port Lincoln Grain Terminal. But only get to drive a single trailer (for now), but hoping to upgrade to 2 trailers in the future. Liked hearing your driving tips for going around the roundabouts; any other tips you can give out on future videos about the different driving techniques would be a great lesson to learn, as I noticed this year there were a lot more drivers on the roads which have only just upgraded from single to road train licenses. Keep up the good work. Those ships will keep coming right up to the start of next harvest 👌👍🙂

Great vid mate. Good to see you're living the dream. 👍👍👍

Great video... thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing your next blog. Greetings from a UK trucker / farmer in Spain 👍🍷

Thank you for a great video. Wow I never thought a train would do a round about. I am from Australia. My father and a lot of the family were truck drivers. Just wish I had done it. I always liked driving. Looking forward to more. Stay safe

Wow awesome video mate! thats one nice Scania you were driving!

Spent some time driving a 9 axle low loader combo up in the Pilbara in 94. Running plant out to Tom Price. Time of my life. Came back and did 10 years of European tipper work. Best of luck to you mate! Subscribed.

Another top notch video Finno, keep up the good work!

Living the dream Fin

Hi from an Australian who lives and works in France. Great video.

Howdy from a (hopefully) future American trucker. I always did find them road-trains to be quiet fascinating.

Hi first time to view your travels I follow trucker yogi ,,Steve Graham both tron Australia ,,

Young lauchie is pretty good with the loader isnt he, did a couple weeks over there a while ago, didnt dissapoint

Hi Fin haven’t seen you for a while been home for a holiday anyway keep enjoying Ausie

Cool. I'm really interested in trucking in Australia. Completely the opposite to where I do my trucking on 9x5 mile Jersey 😅

Keep her shine and the rig mint! Keep safe out there!

Awesome content brother 👍 I’m from the east coast a lot of people ask me about coming over from the uk and driving trucks here I’m gonna point them towards your first video

Great video, looking forward to the next one!

Thanks mate, enjoyed the video

Nice vid Fin. Living the dream 🤙🏻

Great video, and very well explained

Well done Fin!

Very familiar young pom driver. I drove WA diesel road train nearly 20 years ago. Most tractors/prime movers were not cab over units, so that stray kangaroos/camels/steers did not end up wrapped round the driver's knees. Please more on your rig, checking couplings, airlines etc. Do you do a hard brake check first? Can you do a coupling turntable locking pin from the cab so that emergency reversing of the whole rig is possible?

Nice 1 mate am very jealous ❤wish it was me , lush scanny as well , well done pal am uk driver enjoy mate 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Keen for more videos mate! Keep it up!

Well done brother very proud ! Great video! X

Hello, my name is Robert from Manchester but been living in Qatar in the Middle East since 2010. I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind me asking. What is your name as some call you Fin and others call you Finno. The 2 videos I’ve watched I don’t think you’ve mentioned your name, and where in the UK are you from. Can I also ask, which part of Australia are you based, which town village city. Can I also ask, now that you are there, how is your accommodation ? Are you renting sharing ? How far from your depot do you live and what is life like there for socialising ie beers, food, stores and community etc etc. thanks for taking the time on the video about how to get to Australia and training etc etc

Very well presented! Good on ya Mate!

Seriously thinking of makeing the leap

You my 1st vlogger i fellow in Australia as im going to do what you doing...... moving to Aus from uk in August. Great videos as i find them very usefull.keep them coming! Allso, what method did you use to transfer your funds from uk to aus?

Amazing intro!

Hey mate great video,watching from Perth WA but originally from Dublin. Just got a question for you, when you tip the grain at the terminal do you have to disconnect each trailer/dolly or does the grain just flow out over the dollys?

Good job kang!!! Nice works

Hey mate, what company is this for ? I'd like to apply there. Cheers

Good luck in your journeys

Bom vídeo espero mais vídeos assim

AWESOME MATE

Go big bro❤😊👍🏼

How long it will take to change UK license to AUS license? I have the same plan, but i´m from Norway with full truck licenses.

Glad I've found your channel pal, I'm a UK fuel tanker driver, hoping to be over to perth next year. I know that each state are different but are you aware if WA have the same policies as Queensland in regards to licence conversion etc? Look forward to more videos and if theres a chance I could get you on socials that would be great pal. All the best Alex from Widnes

I'm guessing that truck is an auto? Like the little cutout in the stone guard, is that for the dashcam? PS. Re the roundabout, always handy to not have some tosser try and duck down your blind side. 😂😂

Hi there. Do you not use a tacho card in aus? How is this regulated?

Could you go straight through to give her that classic scania V8 roar?

That was from littlest sis❤

hey Fin. great video. i would really like to know what kind of milage u get out of the V8 with those kind of loads?

Great video. Ay up from Russ in hillam north Yorkshire. What happens to your uk liecence. To you have to doba aus truck test. Or can you use your uk. Is the pay any better than the uk. Keep going. Russ 👍

I'm also a class1 UK driver looking to do the same as you, any hints or tips please would be very much appreciated 🙏 keep up the good work 👏

Great work with these videos mate. I’m looking into doing this myself and would love to ask you a few questions. What license/experience did you need to find a job there?

I wanna learn how to drive a truck

Great video mate 👍 very interesting and informative 👍 how long have you been in Australia? Are you from Nottinghamshire? Thought I could tell by your accent any cheers keep up the good work 👏

Good coin out there mate? I'm a truckie from brisbane.

What's the pay like?

Would you get paid a lot yearly for this?

These 417 visas are such a great opportunity if you gain the right skills like you have done. You can see the country and earn proper money while doing it. It is a buzz. I came to Australia from the UK in 2006 and went to Kalgoorlie to get work in the mines. Do you think you will be able to transfer onto a 457 visa and then residency at the end of three years? I reckon it would be a huge come down to have to go back to UK wages and conditions after Australia.

Awesome vid Finn, I'm a brit trucking in Canada, Oilfield B Train tankers, how was the immigration/visa process getting to Oz?

Great video 👍can you do one on the logbook that you use in oz ?

Hi mate great video im in Australia from the uk about to start swapping my licence over do you know if the state makes a diffrence? Watched your other video to!

Is there a path to staying in aus for ever through this or will you have to go back to the UK after 3 years?

Ayup I watched your first video I passed with bassets last year been on the containers ever since I take my hat off to you for going out there you said you haven’t got a tacho what are the rules on driving an how do you record your hours log book ? Safe driving pal

Great video man! How many hours a day do you work normally?

Hmmm, all that vertigo filming wasn't nice ;P Otherwise, good channel. 🙃

Great video. Good info into the day to day. How's the grub ? Try to be a good boy, and stay away from Hungry Jack's. 😅 How's the wildlife. I was on the goldcoast for a while. Missing it big time. Until the next one. Keep it safe

Bro what type of camera 📸 you use to shoot??

When the T/Card on your truck
