I agree with that entirely. Here's a counter though. He saw his drivers were tired, frustrated, and worn out from a long and problem filled trip. He was fresh minded and relaxed. He stepped in, yes a little rude, doesn't look good to someone not in trucking, to me as a trucker myself, that's good. He saw potential for a problem, made a decision and acted before it could happen.
the way Jon went and helped Steve and his team evacuate the shop before devastating floods really opened my eyes to the world and showed me what humanity can accomplish when we use our heads for the right job.
10:45. the vest says Mc ALeese on it. Thats the company Jon Kelly let buy half the shares in HHA, that company went bust and JOn placed HHA into voluntary administration. BAD DECISION JON
the restored truck is ready to go on the road. boss john is a true leggend and man wich is able to do witn trucks. they can even move to big tran's sections trhu 500 km. will the restored mack haul a heavy cargo in the next ep?
Who would want to work for someone that has no people skills and take all the glory in front of others,if that was me the driver i would have left that locomotive in the middle of australia😂😂😂
Not completely sure where but the railway system is shit here in Aus. There are different track gauge width from state to state and often they stop at the borders. A lot of the old track systems were built by states and territories with no where near enough forethought put in back in the day . We don't have extensive train systems throughout the country. Up north of where I live in Queensland the sugar cane properties have sugar cane trains which run a different gauge again to any freight or domestic trains. To go by train you'd have to load it on some freight trains stopping intermediately to swap over to semi trailers where there is no train tracks. It would take twice as long and make it twice as hard. We just don't have the infrastructure to make it a worthwhile proposition 😊
Jon find yourself an old mechanical Mack RD 882SX e9 V8 500 with a Maxitorque T2180 18spd and a 4 spd brownie box and call it a day these new trucks ain’t worth a SHIT Jon can’t beat an Old Bull Dog Mack
I have worked for bosses like that, emotional attachment to granddads trucks , the problem is that drivers have to live in them , if you like the old school gear , as I do , use them on local runs , pick up and shuttles If you live in a prime mover you want a big bunk , integrated, fridge freezer and icepack Jobs are competitive these days, drivers can pick and choose
He sold the company then it went to shit & went bankrupt so he bought it back & kept the HHA name just changed the word on one of the H so instead of Heavy haulage its Huge haulage or something
But John ya sayin ya the best in Australia and number 2 in the world ya said ya said ya said in the owner driver. I'd wouldn't give ya a rail contract...slimey wee man. Why they don't just just tow em on rails..
What rails you dumb bloke? Few and far between for the areas. Just sit back and let the people who understand Australia's landscape Don't you think if their were tracks going to their destination they would use them? God dam use your brain next time
