Thanks for the comment

Albert Batfinder Thanks for the comment bud👍

Same here and I've seen them all the way to WA and knew JP/Snr back then. He ran a tight ship (from all accounts) but his drivers were the best and he would ask if I ever saw them doing wrong while driving across the big paddock...never happened. Know I'm late to this party, but was great watching this video, thanks for posting.

@@AW-pz3qc 5 years later and I still live right near their Port Macquarie depot, The only difference now is I'm mainly in My bus out cruising the highway with them. Some of the new trucks they are getting look Mint, I've noticed they seem to be moving away from the Freightliner Argosy's and towards the Mercedes I think the Actros in all clean white with just the logo. Rather then the red and white paint scheme, The drivers are definitely awesome always get a friendly wave from them.

wayne kerr I haven’t been called a young fellow for quite a few years thanks mate.

@@TheTerry1818 , my pleasure young fellow. P.s. finger docks suck

Doubles turn shorter than singles. The can make tighter turns and corners.

@RonnyDonny13 Other way around mate In a bdouble b trailer goes right you turn to the left but you focus on which way the first tri axle group goes and just make the a trailer and prime mover work as one as opposed to a single where if your trailer goes to the left you turn to the left to follow it 👍

where do you live because if you live in euroupe you only have to goo to sweden or Finland

Thanks for the comment

Peter Francis I pick up and drop off trailers at woolies yennora , it’s a cunt of a thing backing doubles in there docks

Totally agree with what you have said back then it was a passion for a lot of drivers I still work for the same company and have seen different people coming through and for lot of them that passion is not there it’s just A way to earn some decent dollars That is my view anyway thanks for the comment

​@@TheTerry1818 Have to be honest I haven't driven trucks for 14 years. I've been driving buses, currently charter work. I like where I am but I'm looking at going back to trucks but moving up from HC to MC. I'm in Perth so a lot of B double and road train work. I've been in transport and logistics most of my working life. I've worked everything from order picker to truck driver and been a transport supervisor and yard manager. My stepdad drove his own trucks in the 60s, last one being a Mack muncher. He advised me a long time ago to steer clear of driving trucks if I could. I've always had a draw to it, partly because not everyone can do it. Unfortunately it seems a number of employers are now putting unskilled/unmotivated people in trucks. Whether it's a passion or not there's a basic integrity of doing what you're paid to do to the best of your ability, that includes improving knowledge and skill. There's a major problem with attitudes, not just in truck driving. I'm now 58 with a daughter in year 7, started late. This will be the last hoorah before leaving the workforce, probably 10 years or so. Thanks for taking the time to reply, cheers.

+slimchancetoo that takes up even more time

Depends on the skill and experience of the driver (drover) I have witnessed more than one B-doublist being told to vacate the yard and come back one at a time. I have also seen them tangle themselves up so severely that hoses and electrical lines between trailers were broken -- and THAT really takes up EVERYBODY'S time while mobility is restored. On the other hand I have seen a guy put his 2 trailers up a fairly steep ramp and into a finger dock - between bollards protecting the doorway - at night. That deserved and got respect. But why back into a dock and then break up the set and do it all over again ---- can't see any time saving there - just laziness at the expense of those waiting to get past to another dock or to just get out of the place.
