Thanks. I use a function called 'Active Track'
That was an awesome video Johno👍👍👍
Thanks Raymond
Keep the history up Johnno
I luv it👍
Will do
Do you call out on the radio when leaving truckstops? Ie “road train westbound out of madura” or “roadtrain eastbound out of caiguna” i used to do that so blokes get a heads up
Only some Truckstop like Caiguna add you can't see around the corner and definitely leaving Madura earthbound.
You are correct about the reference to the Aircraft Navigation Aid. An airstrip was constructed adjacent to the roadhouse so that DCA (Civil Aviation) technicians could fly out from Perth regularly to conduct maintenance. I understand the roadhouse management would refuel the diesel generators when required. Now that all jet aircraft have GPS the ground based Nav-Aids are not as essential. Cheers
I see. There you go
Love the intro
👍
Another great Vlog, you were chatting about saving the trailers or prime mover during a trailer fire, take a moment to remember the poor driver recently at North shore rail crossing, towing a low loader, got stuck on the rails , and was trying to disconnect the trailer from the prime mover, and was struck and killed by the oncoming train, all to save the truck , and he paid with his life , such a tragic accident, truck driving can be very dangerous at times, anyways love your vid’s, keep smiling, & cheers from Geelong, ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Thanks Steven. Yes I don't know how he got struck trying to disconnect. You would think as the train got closer, he would have abandoned the idea of disconnecting.
Awesome video and the drone footage was awesome!
Thanks for all you do.
Very nice. Thanks John
Hello John, I'm from Uzbekistan, I'm also a truck driver like you.
👍
If ya get a chance when passing Ceduna if you get a chance call into Wirilla Mini Mart if open.
Noel & Christine Greatbatch are fantastic people
Tell tell them Timmy Kooloos sent you & they will treat you like family coz that’s the sort of people they are
They will be stoked even if I see a 30 second video in the membership area I’ll be stocked coz I know how much they luv visitors
I haven't heard of them. I don't venture off the road train route but I'll have a look to see where they are.
For sure
Hi John no how much fuel do you carry i used to travel from England to Spain and had 1000 litre belly tank on my trailer In France you had to have haz plates up but in the end they stoped us using them I know you have long distances to travel so you need plenty of fuel good filming stay safe regards bob
Thanks Bob. My truck holds 2400 litres so I can travel 3000km before needing fuel.
6:47 minutes in was that Murray River
Yes
Your road trip many times between Victoria and WA of video help us for travel preparation checklist if we want drive car from Victoria to perth is out nowhere dersert towns have petrol stations and motels without any concern.
Oh that's very good. Ask me any other things you'd like to know.
I know where you put your GoPro camera it's on the bottom handle where you can move your mirror
I put it on the top mirror
Thanks
Thank you very much Richard
Johno, just a question out of my curiosity I have for you. Why do you guys use ropes instead of bungees on tarps? seems like bungees would be easier, but there must be a reason for it I was just curious.
Because the tarps must be really tight or they'll flap in the wind.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Johnno, after I messaged you I figured that was the reason. A bungees a bungee and egg only gets so tight. You can crack a rope down really hard. Love your videos, brother you be safe out there. God bless.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You got it. Thanks Raymond
G'Day Mate!! Kind regards from Bs As Argentina... Following some of your videos, amazing footage... I was able to know in the news there are some floods, how is the weather like over there?? All the best Mate, may I call you this way?? Un abrazo, Rodolfo
I've been missing all the floods so I don't know how bad they are and I hardly watch the news.
Do you have a backlog of videos
During my holidays I was uploading the videos I made earlier that year
That bride crossing
looked very narrow
from the camera
view. Could you
tell us Americans
the distances in
miles. Because
we dont use metric
system. I drive a
semi in the USA
for 25yrs coast to
coast. I live in TEXAS. Keep up the good work
mate.
OK. I'm some settings I'll try to remember to tell you all the distance in kilometres and miles.
I seen 3 sheep's
They were running everywhere
How many litres do those four tanks hold! .? Cheers and thanks!
2400 litres
Or the Murrumbidgee river
