Truck Vlog #16 II Big Roadtrain Boy II Adelaide to Brisbane 

Bro there's nothing more satisfying than seeing another driver anticipate your wide turn and then you throwing them a thumbs up 👍

I’m a fellow driver myself. I do Bris to Perth with the wife every week. I currently blew the motor in the K200 and now I’m in a 610. In about 1.5 months I will be getting a K220. It will seem strange trying to put my foot on an invisible clutch. GKR Transport is who we work for. The wife is the first and only Vietnamese woman Road Train driver in Australia that I know of. Keep it up right brother. See you on the road

I used to use those warmers on the road all the time, I bought the foil trays with lids, pre cook meals, with veg, spaghetti bol, everything…..freeze everything at home and bingo, food on the road that’s healthy esp the way road houses have turned to shit when it comes to drivers health. Used to take about 45-1hr to cook, by 30mins if you don’t label it, you can play guess what’s for tea lol Keep it upright

I’m from Boggabilla mate it’s true they’re giving truckies a hard time, full of fkwits if ya ask me! Btw I enjoyed this video, keep it up legend

Great VLOG Jacques. Awesome footage. It was also great meeting you the other week in Adelaide. Keep the Vlogs coming when you can!

Great video mate, good to see you back. Where did the legend SAR go?

get some aluminium takeaway containers that fit the box , chuck a bit of water in the lunch warmer and put your takeaway container inside , no mess no plastic mate. much better

Burra was the first place in Australia where copper mining was carried out. Very historic

just letting you know mate the baking issue could be the tucks configured for discs where as you may have drums on your trailers. discs only need about 1 - 2 psi to start triggering, drums can take up to 6, usually around 4 - 5 psi to start. could even be discs on 1 trailer and brakes on the other

i do like these truck driving pov in australia

42:30 that’s me 😂. You’d be surprised how many people don’t give you any room or wait for you at those 3 intersections

Great one man, what’s the company say about this? Just wondering the legality’s as I’ve started doing it myself

Great new vlog and awesome to see you happy in the seat and on the road again, safe driving ahead!

Great to have you doing the stuff we love.

Hey mate, I’ve been binge watching your channel for a couple of weeks now, I’ve booked myself in to get a HC licence here in Adelaide in a months time. Is there a chance you can go through and talk about the gearbox? Cheers

Great vlog, shorter videos more often would be easier to edit so less time taken.

Great video Jacques, I ran super b in b.c. Canada. Those triples are awesome take care...👍🇨🇦

I can't work out the NHVR maps. According to them Peel St in Walgett isn't a BTriple to 36.5m route, and you're required to go down to the Fox St roundabout; (I nearly knocked down that memorial one night when I missed the bypass westbound in an ADouble), but the signs definitely say Heavy Vehicles To... And a big rectangle around Walgett is removed from the general BTriple area. Sowhat do you do? Obey the signs or obey the map? Damned either way. Yet ADoubles to 36.5m have conditional approval to use Peel St. Go figure! I messaged NHVR the other day coz their maps show that BDoubles can't use the Shepparton bypass. The roundabout at New Dookie Rd on the bypass doesn't show BDouble use all the way around so you would be obliged to exit the bypass. They declined to answer or correct the error.

Hello, thank you for video. Trust all is well. Have we jumped ship again? Seems a realy nice truck. Realy enjoyed this one. Used to travel Moree to Inverell 1972 to 1978. Was known as the crystal highway. A lot of it was one lane of bitumen. Had to move on to gravel to pass. A lot of broken windscreens. Inverell, Delungra, Warialda, Gravesend, known as Tombstone, Moree.

Hola te envío un saludo desde aquí España. He sido y soy transportista desde 1991. Me encantan los ro los Road trains.mi pregunta es si esos k200 llevan el sistema de freno hidráulico o retarder que utiliza DAF. Ya que los dos son del mismo grupo PACCAR

Welcome back mate watching from the uk👍

Respect from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 my friend

I never heard of the shell dramas at boggabilla but was southbound at the hotel from turning right and copped a bullet from the laneway behind the hotel into the passenger side door one night. And that was 50 MTRS from the police station WTF . Keep safe....

Awesome stuff! Loved the POV. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Gday mate! I’m still catching up on all your vlogs and great to see all your transition. This one is the best one so far and changing jobs was the best thing that could happen for your channel! Can you chuck us a link for your food warmer, it looks a doozy! Safe journeys brother ❤

Great to see you back. Excellent VLOG. Your pretty nippy geting in n out of the cab connecting up. Don't misjudge that last step.

Suggestion for the food this is what my dad does he gets the chinese food containers and puts the food inside and then freezes them and you can have the meals then keep the containers then wash them out and reuse them but its only a suggestion

What is the hardest pulling truck u ever drove? Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

I used the the wiper washer at servo stops to keep the fuel going ha

Out of interest what do you prefer, manual or automatic? (I know you were having troubles with the autos and their gearing but apart from that, if the auto worked better)

Good to see you back, much better vision with the sun shade up out of the way. Cheers

Great stuff mate, this is what keeps Australia running.

Good to see a video again old mate 👍 drive safely son .

Yo da man bro

Bro just to let you know that the k200 automatic gearbox is in sports mode , but it’s a secret, and not everyone knows about it. There’s about three different modes does that answer your question?

Love the video you make it is excellent and keep Up the good work and hopefully you will make another truck vlog👍👍🚛🚛

Bring back the legend

Dude, how many women drive road trains? I'd love to give it a go at 42!

Tennis ball works great too wedge in the pump handle.

Do you hit many animals?

We need truck stops like they have in the USA in Australia. so truck drivers don't need to stop at the side of the road.

If I started driving again I'd try and get a auto because I've had both knees replaced

You wont catch the V8 Scania up through the gears
