Love your music choices. Goes well with the countryside and your laidback style. I run into Lindsay drivers around Toowoomba and Dalby doing BigW drops - all pretty chill and calm guys. I only do local parcel and pallet drops in rigids so great to see the rest of the country.
Good on ya Ken, I'm glad they are offering you monetisation, we get a ton of value and entertainment from your videos mate, getting paid would be a bonus 👍
Thanks, Ken. I'm always on the lookout for your next video knowing it will be as good as, or better than, the previous one. Whatever you do, please don't change the way you present your videos. Your natural approach is why you have so many viewers, 'likes' and positive comments. Great stuff! 👌
The most down to earth TH-camr ever! Luv your videos Ken, keep em going! I think it’s Happiness by the mile - the US young female trucker you mentioned, her videos are enjoyable but I prefer your home grown content.👍
Hey Ken, young fella here, got my HC license although i dont drive, i used to for a few months but driving wasnt for me. I take my hat off to you for putting in the efforts being out there. Take your time with this youtube stuff you dont need to rush into it. Take your time and enjoy it. Thanks for all your efforts.
Your videos are great Ken and super relaxing for us that love the open road but are stuck at home. Editing, music and the effort you go to for B roll shots is super impressive.
Ken, just watching you running through the times you expect to get to each town, the early morning drives and the uncertainty of what's happening beyond the next couple of days - I dunno how you do it. Kudos.
I realy enjoy your videos, your style , the music and the history you put up about all of the towns you pass through, as someone who grew up in Queensland and has lived for the past 40 years in Victoria I have done many trips up and down the Newll Hwy and its is great to see all of those places again
Hi from France, well here i am here in Lyon, in a line-up waiting to enter a fuel dépôt to load (two runs today).Mate your vidéos are fantastic,i love to see the country where i grew-up,see the country side,listen to a bloke that has the same accent as i have,that does the same work (well you work more than i do),you've got great taste in music. Have a great day.
Hi Ken. Yeah, the change from portrait to landscape mode transformed your videos. Footage is great, music is great, and the fact that you are doing it all with just a mobile phone is amazing; I can't think of anything to suggest that could improve them. PS: I see one of your blokes ran into a bit of trouble on Sherwood Rd when leaving the markets the other day. A lesson learned no doubt.
Nice video mr Ken . What coincidence my mums uncle used to be the manager for Lindsay transport. I like watching your channel and one day I plan to be truckie my self.😊
Good day Ken, Taking that first exit from the Western Dead Ring Rd you took the wrong lane for a B Double. Grab the right hand lane next time & straddle the left as well. Typical transport yard a hose without a nozzle or high pressure attachment. Good to see something never change. Lindsay Brother's have some hard core subbies in Melbourne with loud big bangers. Great video Cheers Louis 👍 🙂
2 fantastic sun rises on one great video...Well done for getting monetisation every little bit helps. We had one of those Guardian things . The boss dragging a set of trailers round a tight part of yard and it went of.... that was the last time it did anything....Thanks for the tour of the 610..We were going to get a few but they decided to go with the King cabs instead cause we've got a few longer trailer sets .. I've had one of our 200 King cabs for 3 weeks. Eaton auto like yours Cummins 560. the lights are good at night, that's about all I can say about it .... Got my Cat 104B manual back on Sunday morning Yeeaaahhhh happy days....
@@thehomelesstrucky Its coz you're a real bloke showing the world how us real blokes work. With little to no thanks and the world tellng us we're toxic and useless everyday. You are a spokesman for so many of us out here. Your humbleness and work ethic are drawing people in. Keep it up.
Hey Ken, old steerer here mate. Been enjoying your videos mate. Jeez things have changed in the industry. Love the backing tracks especially the blues mate. Keep up the good work and stay safe mate
Another great video Ken! Love watching your journey with the music etc. One idea might be to cut to a map showing where you are so people like me overseas know where you are instead of having to google it. Thanks for all the effort you put in to these videos!
Well after watching all your videos you have inspired me to pull my finger out get a HR license and get a truck driving job and eventually move up to road trains.. thanks Ken for the great inspiration..
I take my hat off to you for driving all those kilometres. We live in a 24t. tag axle motorhome and just do maybe 100-300km a day and take in the scenery. Once I had to drive one of our operational support units from Brisbane to Townsville which was boring enough. I remember in the '80s and '90s when Lindsay Bros were THE "Upside down Transport" company. They seem to have improved. Having a good driver like yourself would be a bonus. Cheers and stay safe out there.
G’day Ken Another good one mate, if you’re in Brisbane on 20-21 May the Heritage Truck Association Australia is having its annual show. There will be a lot of old jiggers and old and not so old fellas to tell stories. If your situation allows it would be great to see you there. Keep smiling mate. JD
Hi Don’t change, Your down to earth attitude is what makes it. The other day you called in to shell Charlton, was that the old Ampol, year back Mobil and back in th 70’s ESSO, TakeCare Be Safe
Big rig Becca, that's a bit of a wild turnout with those two dogs hangin' out the window😂 but she does a good job behind the wheel and always toughs it out. $280 Ken not to be sneezed at, adds a bit of incentive, and bottom line is we all get to enjoy what your doing. I very much doubt Lindsays think the performance was deplorable, metrics don't tell the full story - got it there in one piece and didn't break any rules in the doin'. Enjoyed!
Great sunrise shots, 10 subscribers, that’s funny 😂, 4000 now we’ll done. I just love seeing towns and roads vision of places I travelled a lot as a rep in Vic, nsw and a little bit of qld. Keep up the good work mate. , beautiful clean truck. How’s I would like to see all the gauges and what they measure one day. the new eating plan going ?
I still wash my truck myself All The Time at Home ... Not Very Many Drivers in America do that themselves.. I wash & Grease my trk every 8 to 10 days @ home . Company driver I am -
Thanks for showing inside the truck what happens when you get flat tyres do you have to change them yourself or do the company have mechanics that come out and do that
Hey Ken you make it look like fun but every time I head for Nhill I'm like oh this can be boring I'm based in Adelaide maybe I need to be driving a Kenworth I'm in a DAF need I say more although they reckon they are the European Kenworth ,but I check every Lyndsay truck now looking to see if it's you Drive safe mate Kym Adelaide
LOL Kenny what am I going to watch when you are off for 3 months how about leaving the key for the truck under the mat may be then I can try it out never driven a B double should make an interesting video not sure that Lindsay Brothers would agree though now all that I have to do is find a big red truck with 1715 on the side
You were talking about your Sentinal showing your walking time and rest time. My question is as I am a coach driver do you have to do a paper based Log Book or NWD
Kenny I was talking with a mate that has retired but drove for Toll and we were discussing driving a B double for 180,000 k a year without putting into a ditch is no mean feat so you must be looking forward to June best regards
Hey Ken, do the blokes that run the triples do the same amount of k's you b'doubles do?. or do they mostly run dc to dc since they run with an extra unit?..bulk loads, one drop,? or mostly change overs etc?
The road train fellas over here more or less do the same Ks as me,… it’s the change over blokes that do the big Ks,… some of them will do 1000 kms 6 nights a week, every week, 48 weeks a year!!!
Your channel has grown nicely, not sure how I found it but probably got something to do with the amount of time I have on my hands these days, but most informative. I have been thinking about putting a few videos up myself (other than the stuff already there) and have actually recorded and edited some but gee I have a terrible head, scared to put it up on the tube. Coupled with that not even creative enough to come up with a decent handle and definitely would struggle with a logo/banner.
I know what you mean,… my early videos were crap lol,… just put up what you got so far and see what happens I’m working with a designer to do my logo,… cost $25 from fiverr
G'day Ken, Just wondering what gps you got and is it specific to trucks. Used one once that showed inclines and descents and bends coming up ahead. Also truck rest area's. Looking for one with those features. Any suggestions??
Thanks Ken, great Vid as always. Do you have a wrap around block out Curtains for when you are sleeping to keep the Sun out and for Privacy? And do you lock the truck when you get out to fuel up, do your checks etc in case some sneaky Schyster takes an opportune moment to jump in and drive off or tries to? Keep the content coming, you are on a winning formula.
Keep rolling Ken love your down to earth way of seeing the world.

LOL Kenny what am I going to watch when you are off for 3 months how about leaving the key for the truck under the mat may be then I can try it out never driven a B double should make an interesting video not sure that Lindsay Brothers would agree though now all that I have to do is find a big red truck with 1715 on the side
Lol,… my wife and I will try and put something together over in Phil,… might be good to see
Do you get company feedback on driver performance per trip e.g. actual vs expected, exceptions, on time etc?
No,… not really,… I was just having a dig at myself lol,… I was pretty slack that trip
You were talking about your Sentinal showing your walking time and rest time. My question is as I am a coach driver do you have to do a paper based Log Book or NWD
The sentinel is not credited yet so it’s just a Lindsay thing at the moment,… I still use a normal paper logbook
New viewer love your vids
Thanks and welcome
Kenny I was talking with a mate that has retired but drove for Toll and we were discussing driving a B double for 180,000 k a year without putting into a ditch is no mean feat so you must be looking forward to June best regards
Lol,… why do you think I only work 9 months of the year,… don’t want to take the risk hahaha
When do you service the truck.
Melbourne,. Sydney and Brisbane
Hey Ken, do the blokes that run the triples do the same amount of k's you b'doubles do?. or do they mostly run dc to dc since they run with an extra unit?..bulk loads, one drop,? or mostly change overs etc?

Do you know exactly what model of gps you use? I need to get one but not sure exactly what I should get.
It’s a garman 780 I think,… but my one is fairly old,…
Thanks Ken, great Vid as always.
Do you have a wrap around block out Curtains for when you are sleeping to keep the Sun out and for Privacy?
And do you lock the truck when you get out to fuel up, do your checks etc in case some sneaky Schyster takes an opportune moment to jump in and drive off or tries to?
Keep the content coming, you are on a winning formula.
Yeah,… the curtains wrap around and no,… I don’t usually lock the truck up when I’m fueling,… doesn’t really happen much here in Australia
All good keep it coming...
You get paid for washing the company prime mover ???
No,… I just wash it when it really needs it lol
I’ve been out of the game for a while now, is that an electronic log book or do you still have to do a paper book
Still use the paper book
Can you show more of how the sentinal screen works please?
Ok,…
How many hours does it take to get from Brisbane depot to Melbourne depot including rest stops?
It’s about 20 hours drive time with 9 hours for rest breaks,… 7 hours need to be consecutive,… around 2 days travel
thankyou
@@thehomelesstrucky that's pretty quick!
What's your thoughts on the 610, do you like them? I see Lindays have some K200s as well, have you driven one of those?
Don’t really like them all that much ,… the 40 s and 90 s are better put together
