As another truck driver I can 100% agree there are some absolute flogs on the UHF especially in Sydney Brisbane and Melbourne I have mine turned off most of the time unless I need it
@@shanehastattoos … When I first watched & then heard it, I had a mouthful of food that I ended up spitting out everywhere as I just couldn’t not laugh at it. I have some idea of it, especially when you hear young girls on their phones having conversations that they think the rest of the world needs to know about or hear. That truly gives me the shits 😠😠😠
@@gerardroll6468 the ones that do it are labelled as "squeaky" and make the high pitched voice just to purposely piss people off, such amusing lives they must live
Great vid 😂 how you keep your shit together with so many cereal packet licensed, incompetent steering wheel attendants on the road is beyond me. About to start towing a van around, so it was great to see things from a trucks perspective. Thanks.
29 is used on the coast rd because in spots you'll get interference from 40 that is ran along the new England. Swap 29 for 40 after the PH rd and coming into Brisbane if nth bnd.
Good one Shane , hell I been using CB since around 1975 , the first was a Tandy 27Mhz 23 channel AM , , then in the 1980'S I had a Johnson Viking SSB with 4 added switches , go up half a channel or between channels.. ie between ch 7 and 8 (27.055) was a 20 Kc gap so could go to 27.045 , also had a 100w Linear in the truck , that put out some watts across the Barkley Hwy.
@@shanehastattoos Yeh mate, it was around 1975 in Wagga Wagga I was out of a job for couple of months so started a course on Amateur radio, between ch's 15 and 16 was a good spot to work a lot of skip from USA , THAT WAS 27.145mHZ, anyhow did not finish the course because got a job driving a brand new UD CK40 Wagga / Sydney/Melbourne
I was told by a veteran truckie years ago that 29 was used instead of 40 only on the Pacific Highway between Pennant Hills Rd in Sydney and as you come into Brisbane around Beenleigh.
Hey Shane! Love the videos and stories, keep it up mate! When i was a ships agent and bored, we would follow other peoples conversations on VHF all the time just to see what was going on in the harbor
New subscriber, love your vids. Would love to see a compilation of appreciation moves by car drivers. Shlt you liked to see them do to help out, my give ideas to others an so on an so so
Ah, that wonderful term "common sense". As we all know, there is nothing common about it and you can't teach it. You also can't teach stupid - that is a gift that you are born with, but that is another story...
G'day Shane, Mate we travel the Outback & a bit of coastal stuff & we run 3 Three UHF radios, CH 40, CH 29 & the third on scan, we also run an old school CB just for shits & giggles' Probably our most important bit of kit is a Scanner so we can listen in to the Bush fire brigade & some others, this was due to the poor buggers that got caught in the WA fires a few years back if you remember that long ago, RIP. WE also run multiple DBI antennas to cope with differing terrain etc. Must say we have never heard of the caravans using CH 18, might be a Easter state thing mate.
Around home for me channel 2 is the local banter channel, always hear the regular gronks spilling their guts over the air waves. You hear some funny shit sometimes though 😂
With my 5 watt GME handheld I use to use for Traffic control I generally sit on channel 40. Didn't know about the 29 though, might have to try that out. When I was down in Melbourne last I had the pleasure of hearing the channel 40 city banter, honestly cracked me up having everyone talking shit for hours on end but other than that I find it pretty helpful for knowing whats going on if there's an accident or someshit.
Everyone kept raving on, you need a CB you need a CB, a complete waste of monies, we went on our Big Lap, NSW, Vic, SA, NT, WA, SA, Vic, NSW, the only time we spoke to a truckie was in SA at Coober Pedy when the missus asked the road-train hauler to slow down for a pic, not only did he slow down but STOPPED, got out and had a chinwag with us, showed us around his rig, talked about weights, speeds, idiots on the roads, close calls, shared a coldie (Coke) told him where we come from, where we're going took a few pics and watched him start & move his train In all of the thousands of klms only used twice, the other time was in WA when we came up behind an unusual vehicle, never seen one like it before, I can still picture it in my mind, baked in yellow and he transports blood in a refrigerated truck, told us to come around On a lighter note, arriving at Kalbarri in WA, noticed a police patrol car booking a caravanner, after he finished they both came over and had another chinwag, we said,, You are the first coppers we've seen since leaving Taree in May 2017. You're kidding, nope, all this way, your the first, we were wondering if you guys were a myth, you'd think there be cops between Alice & Darwin, nope, none there either, got some hot tips on places to visit as we farewelled them
Shane… When you mentioned how if you’d never used a 2-way/CB radio before, you may be a little clueless… GREETINGS FROM “CAPTAIN CLUELESS” ✋️😂. I’ve never used one in a vehicle before myself but this was interesting to watch & listen to 👍😁
@@shanehastattoos … I appreciate that mate & yeah, it did 👍😁. We actually use 2-ways in my job but we’re at just the one location (a rail depot) & don’t move around all that much. I know that truckies have a language all their own out on the roads but my bosses try to get us to use the “phonetic” alphabet when talking but half the time, I forget it & just make up stuff as I go along to get my message across 👍😎
@@shanehastattoos … When all else fails, I can usually “McGyver” my way out of a sticky situation & improv the shit out of it in order to turn things in my favour 👍😁
Hey Shane, love ya raw unfiltered episodes, now you ask for us to request content, can you post any night driving episodes if you drive at night. And or get any footage of night driving on unsealed roads
To add one If you're using a random channel for a chat with your mate and you hear people using it for work, move to a different channel, It is much easier for a couple mates to switch channels than it is for a whole jobsite to switch
Remember when CB radios had a loudspeaker hooked up by default?... That voice at 3:52 will be a good one to harass the drivers who overtake then slow down... they'll be speeding back up to get away from it.
Mate, you sound like a good bloke and I don't really want to take you to task but you made no mention of repeater channel inputs and outputs and how truckies should avoid them unless necessary. There is a lot more etiquette involved with UHF CB radio than mentioned here and for that, I reckon you could remake this vid and do a lot better. cheers.
@@shanehastattoos Your run through was from a mud carter perspective only. And you wonder why the repeater gangs give you shit? You're clueless about UHF CB radio in Australia mate.
@@shanehastattoos I think they only really scramble into action if it affects emergency channels, although they told me they chase down CB clowns when they get a chance.
True mate Sydney or Melbourne talking shit and you don’t want to turn it off but I do cause it shits me people dribbling shit over west you have rajah talking there language it’s pretty disrespectful good channel Shane 👍
Nice one mate, yeah here in Perth channel 40 which is good to warn other rigs of speed cameras, hazards etc but unfortunately there are quite a few brain dead fuckers who do nothing but make stupid noises, say stupid shit repeatedly and generally fuck it up for everyone else....
You and CB Radio Etiquette, I almost fell out of my seat. "Hooliganism" and not "Etiquette" is the word you're looking for. "Breaker, Breaker".... you break all the rules. They are looking for you, all over CB Radio .. they just can't PIN YOU DOWN, because you never reveal your 10-20. But, at some point, they'll triangulate your signal, and find you, and rip out your etiquette lacking vocal cords. **They won't find etiquette, but they will find a hooligan's vocal cords.** And mate, if your tattoos displeases them, they'll rip your arms off aswell. It is required by CB Radio Etiquette, because tattoos violate radio etiquette. 10-35: Lay low, and cover your arms. Go on the lamb if you have to.
@@shanehastattoos Its good to see you've kept a low profile these past past few weeks, quietly on the lamb, and not breaking radio silence, or was it! Because I've noticed a 'women' was driving your truck, along with a whole lot of CB chatter and a mousey voice pretending to be a YL. 'She' was a squelching and belching all over the airwaves just like a women and she was. Was that you? I have my suspicions. Damn good disguise impersonating a women truck driver. That scarf got me thinking. The only thing left to do is change your name from Shane to Shela, I think you could pull it off, and start using lipstick and eyeliner and botox.
Now I've heard it all. A truck driver giving us a lecture on CB radio etiquette. Maybe you truck drivers could learn to make a radio call without the foul language every second word. There are MANY other people listening in the background at any given time and many have young kiddies in the car that don't need to hear the bad language. Would YOU talk around your kids that way? Maybe you do!
Where's the etiquette in uploading new podcasts. You're slower at uploading podcasts than the EELS are at winning Grand Finals. Stop with the Botox an the makeup- a tattoo is permanent makeup- and start swearing an wriggling. Else change your name to Sunday Shona. **A trucker's attire: not just singlets and thongs.** Steel cap boots for heads?
