No, it's an ex RTA truck. Which is Road Trains Australia. Which was bought by Hampton Heavy Haulage in Perth. If you're talking about the C500 with the green stripes. The white C500 could have been anything.
@@The_Candyman86 That was my understanding, google search also says HHA has gone into voluntary administration. A further search indicates he has restarted another company known as HHA the "A" being Assets this time around, and the company who bought into HH Australia was McAleese.
6000 km in 5 days??? Interesting, how can you do 1200 km in one day in Australian road conditions? I understand that they don't have limiters like in Europe, where the maximum speed is 90 km/h, but still, 1200 seems enormous to me considering the condition of the roads in Australia
1:48 ticker says 3000k there. You're right though, 1200 km a day with a train that long would be a rough one. Probably doable but at what expense, you'd have some hot axles, that's for sure. God Bless
Trucks in Australia ARE limited to 100kmh. Very strictly. In the western states there's no log book so you can drive 16 or 18 hours a day if you want and do 1200km in a day. In the eastern states you're limited to 14 hours per 24 hours and 1000km is usually all that's possible. But as the above guys said, it's 5 days each way, which is 3000km.
@@1one3_Racing OK. I understand, unfortunately I refer a lot to the European system, where you are only allowed to drive 9 hours a day, a maximum of 10 hours only twice a week, it is a more complicated system, with 54 hours of driving during a week and 90 hours during two linked weeks... finally! it's a real math the whole program in Europe, not to mention the program with two drivers per truck.... It's not the driving time that's stressful in Europe, but the areas where, due to traffic congestion, you barely manage to cover a maximum of 50 km in an hour, or when you have to take a break and can't find a place to stop. When I see the system in Australia, I always say that you are lords with your system... and it amuses me when I see that it reminds me of the congestion in your cities, and I see 100 to 200 cars on a stretch of boulevard!
Hi mate,can you maby stream season 10 maby,because i see that it only stream in australia on 7mate and i live in south africa.So could you maby stream in on youtube?
Im sure one day I going to watch an episode where Steve runs out of fuel, blows 12 tyres. Walks 500 km with the wheels on his back. Walks back with new tyres and 50 jerry cans of diesel. Then is mobile in 3 hours from heading to town. Please dont get me wrong. I know it can be tough out there. But a little maintanance on a truck helps. And those steep hills 2 prime movers on one set of trailers would do it in comfort. Conecting all 3 achieves nothing, other than help rear teuck last 25 metres. My father drove for 11 years and he had problems but not every trip. Everything that went on and off the truck was his two hands. This was 1959 to 1969. His arms would put todays body builders to shame. 15 to 20 hours a day Monday to Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday. Up to 150 milk cans 50 kg. 8 cubic yards of gravel on and off with a shovel. 12 ton of fire wood by hand, on a 7 ton truck.

Thats a wrap on season 2! What did ya enjoy most about the season?
Steve Grahame is a legend, and Yogi makes me happy for his commitment to his family despite trucking.
I consider yogi to be a good legend
Both of em are legends aye. It can be hard to balance work and family as a trucker, but they have managed to get the balance right!

So cool to see Australian blue collar guys enjoying Christmas with their family. We’re definitely not all that different no matter where u are.
Everyone deserves a well earned break with family aye! Makes the job and all the challenges worth it
I've driven an old Russian tractor with a dead clutch pedal onto Yogi's trailer when I worked at an auction yard. That was pretty cool
being able to carry a whole excavator as a tool is wild
Went past Yogi in his purple truck the other day as he was on his way from SA back to WA.
Awesome mate! His stunnin KW stands out aye. Love to hear your guys stories of seeing the trucking legends!

One of these trucks in which steve travels in a convoy is now owned by Jon kelly and Heavy Haulage Assets in Brisbane😎😎😎😎
Heavy haulage went into liquidation. Bad decision by jon kelly to sell half the company to a company that went bust
No, it's an ex RTA truck. Which is Road Trains Australia. Which was bought by Hampton Heavy Haulage in Perth. If you're talking about the C500 with the green stripes.
The white C500 could have been anything.
@@1one3_Racing i know from aussie truck rehab that jon kelly has that c500 with the green stripes and it is nicknamed big Charlie

The time yogi spent painting his toe nails he could got under his truck and put oil in it and made the trip.
He's only 30 years old
Who the f*** paints their toenails?
Well yogi Is a princess of a bear in the movie 😂😂
@@punns643 I don't know how old he is but them green toe nails are funny to see.
@@UZIOH6 I never thought of him as a bear but he is a good sized fellow. Probably as strong as one .

I have always wanted to become a trucker its my dream ❤
Awesome mate - it's a good dream to have! What kind of cargo would you wanna haul?

6000 round trip. The 5 days was just to get there.
