I have watched a fair share of truckie vlogs but nothing as good as this I have to admit. Great angles, amazing commentary, let’s hope we get more and more of this.
Pulled up a chair, grabbed a coffee and sat back and was totally entertained. Loved the footage, and music and the editing was effortless mate. Your voice/channel is exacting what we need in these strange old times we live in. Thanks for taking the time to do this and wishing you all the success in the world mate. Stay safe and happy travels. :)
Great job mate. You’re killing it with these videos. I thought I did a lot of driving in my job, but truckies take the cake. I appreciate the work you blokes out in to keep this country rolling. Cheers
I know Mareeba well, and a bit of the run south the way you went. Now that I think about it, I think I've done all those roads...all the way to Dubbo...Oh, no. I haven't done out through Lightning Ridge.
Oh No! The Towel! Thanks for another entertaining run. Its great to see parts of the country I haven't had a chance to get to yet. Thanks for the maps too. Always looking forward to your next adventure. Keep safe!
Great video. Greetings from a fellow trucker, or trucky as you guys call them, from the USA riding through the state of Arkansas. May Jesus be with you were ever you go.
@@craigoOZ it the time he takes for the creativity and sensitivity that really makes these stand out. not to mention the editing and feeling what works and what doesn't.
Im really enjoying the 3rd person perspective shots too Ken as well as the addition of the map fly-in. I know its hard trying to keep the creative side going, but your smashing it!
Hello Ken, with your beautiful red Kenworth you drive ,how many kilometer`s has she travelled? How many truck kilometers are travelled before Lindsay Transport retire it from service? When do think you will have a new Kenworth to drive or, near new one ? Also, how often are you subjected to police spot checks etc etc ?? Maybe that could be covered in one video ? We love your Homeless Truck`n videos. So interesting and educational. Thank you for all the time and effort you pack into each video for us and, the You Tube viewers to watch. Kind regards, Harry and Marion. New Plymouth. Taranaki. New Zealand.
The truck is nearly at 2 million,… if and when I get a new truck I’m not really sure,… but they usually stick them on local after they’re linehaul days are over. I pretty well get left alone,… don’t really get pulled over much at all ,…thanks so much for your kind comment and support
I used to do a run from Rocky to Emerald running express freight in a little 6-ton Isuzu. I'd be at the BP every morning between 4 and 6am, ready to start the delivery run by 7. It wasn't a bad lurk. I'd be back in Rocky between 2 and 4pm, then be loaded for the next day by 7pm usually. Home, a feed and a bit of lie down, then on the road again at about 2 or 3am.
I usually don't watch transport type videos all the way through. I tend to skip around. But this was great. good music, and really interesting and entertaining editing. Thanks, mate.
Ken I like the way you pull up when you know you need to , I used to do the same , unfortunately some drivers think that because they have an extra hour or two left in the book they have to keep going and that is not being responsible, keep up the great videos mate, now I am retired it keeps me in touch cheers mate and keep the shiny side up !
Careful Ken, that towel will take over the show. Another great video. Was interested in the roo strikes, I'm out of the highways a bit and see lots of road kill. I think this is the first time you've mentioned roo strikes.
The roos are shocking out there on those in land road's between the Ridge to Walgett . Do some more night videos too 👍keep up the good work ken stay safe mate 👍
Another entertaining video Ken, love the choice of music you choose to take us on the journey. Well you lasted a long time between burgers mate well done 😂 lol and the finale with the near globally famous towel brilliant 😂
Ps did you ever work at the Bohle Barn Warehouse at Townsville they 😊distributed beer , wine and spirits. I know your noggin from somewhere in my travels lol
Another great video Ken. You're nearly at 5k subs. Congrats mate. Only suggestions I would make is investing in a microphone to pin to your collar. Will help with audio, when you're chatting.
Great footage.. loved seeing your videos. Travelled recently to Australia, specifically nsw for holiday hoping to catch on of the trucks from the company but didn't. Haha. Cheers from Singapore 🇸🇬
Another great video Ken. I always went for the BP's, but they've changed over the past few years as well... I must have past you last week some where, or was following you. Loaded produce out of Townville back for Tasmania, just doing local fish now for a week or so. Then back over to the north island.. Have a great time at home, you deserve it.. PS my 104 is just about to hit 2 million k's.
Yet another awesome video Ken..that’s everyday life that makes this great nation of our tick..I know Mareeba & surrounds well my mother lived there until she passed many yrs ago but luv to look at the cane fields & everything else that grows in the tropics..keep doing your videos mate & I reckon the new Kenny can’t be far away Lindsay probably grabbed you one at the Brissy Truck show..
Hi Ken I see nothing has changed on those Q L D skinny road I use fly on those shitty roads untill one night a hit a cow holly crap that scared the crap out of me ,,Never again did I do that crap ..Any way Mr Hollywood you are doing quiet well with you videos I love watching the road you travel as I did many years ago Thanx mate for the memories stay safe keep on Trucking I’m a Fan ❤️❤️🙏👍👍😃😃🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
I’m grew up in Sydney and base myself in Melbourne so even though I’m in Queensland a lot I don’t really know the place that well,… it all depends on what you like,… coast or outback
Do you listen to the radio at all during these trips? I'd be interested to know how far you can get 2WEB Bourke up into Queensland. They do weather for St. George so I'm assuming it can be heard up there and probably further up towards Roma and Injune. 4AM Mareeba is another good station; one of the last bastions of local commercial radio.
@@thehomelesstrucky Fair enough- most radio is inane anyway. If you find yourself at the Marulan truckstop between 1500-1700 on Wednesday, tune to 88.9 ;)
In answer to Josie.. refrig trailers have belly fuel tanks for the Refrigerator unit on the trailer…also a lot of road trains have belly tanks strapped under the chassis of the trailer so they can pump fuel forward into the Trucks fuel tanks to give them greater range..
33 years ago between Surat and st George a young 20 yr old ..Simon was killed carting a load of cattle back to dubbo from Roma. Very lonely road back then especially at 1am 😥he was trapped 4 5 hrs b4 someone come along at 6 am no phones of coarse ,so he had to dve 45 kms to st George amb got there only for him to die .was so sad he was actually from Surat but lived in dubbo ,drove for walkers transport. Just had to tell u that story sorry 👍then they hired a coach and still all couldn't fit to go to his funeral. He visited his family at Surat and didn't make st George but he'd been dubbo to rockhampton then there to Roma yeh had had his lic about 6 months. He fell asleep
So sad,.. back then we all pushed ourselves way too hard,… I remember when I first started out on the hwy,..you’d drive all night and then be unloading well after 11am,… I remember after untarping and unstrapping the load I’d be sitting somewhere waiting for the forky to unload fast asleep,.. until someone gave me a nudge and said,,… “you’re all done mate”… then off you’d go to find a tree to park under till they found you a load out,… we all worked like dogs.
You've really got the knack of telling a story without saying a word. Great scenery.
Thanks mate

Yummy burgers Ken there great!
Gday Ken! Hope your doing well mate as always enjoying the Videos
Thanks mate
Another great video Ken, thanks. Glad you didn't leave your towel behind. You mentioned you only have 2 or 3 trips left. Are you going on holidays?
We will all miss you without our dose of videos.
Going home for a few months,… time for a break lol
Love your music choice and the Australian scenery. Who plays the music o this particular post.
When I get home I’ll compile a list of the music that gets played in the videos
@@thehomelesstrucky Thank you very much.
I try the new KFC at Bundamba truck and was very yummy and not many cars which good!
Are you running a Cummins engine with Allison Gear Boxes or what.
We run Cummins X15 through a Eaton fuller auto
Ken, who sings the Fred Mc Dowell cover?
Cheers cob, keen on truckin’
I’m going over all the music in the videos when I get home and compile a list so you can look up your favourite songs
Cheers Ken, have a great trip 👋
I wonder how much it cost to fuel truck
It takes 1260 litres to fill so just multiply that by the current price,…yeah, it’s going to be a lot lol
Do you listen to the radio at all during these trips? I'd be interested to know how far you can get 2WEB Bourke up into Queensland.
