Hello hon, thank you for the nice refreshing scenery again to watch along your travels, I enjoy watching. Plus 😊, good to see you on pajama hon that means you have a good good sleep😊🥰❤️ Take care always mahal ko. Mahal kita.
Another great video Ken, its good how you keep the videos ""family friendly"", as people may watch with their children and grandchildren. The high quality of your camera work and editing is evident, and watching the countryside roll by is therapeutic. I also like going along for the pre departure checks of the turntable, trailer fuel tanks and lights. Thanks Ken, keep up the good work. PS - Many thanks to the trucking community, for taking up the slack of the Scotts shutdown.
My Dad taught me to drive the same way, Best information ever. Now over seventy and have lane assist, who would have thought. Love getting out there and chewing up the k's. Cheers Michael
Onya Ken. I watched out for your truck from Bne to MEL on my way from Bne to Geelong for the Spirit of Tasmania. Looks like we were on different roads as we were arriving in Geelong you were heading to Bne from Adl. I keep watching out for truck number 1715. One day I might see you. Stay safe . Larry
Gday Kenny, lovin the vids mate. I’ve gone back to the beginning and it’s been interesting to see the transition. Your vids have gotten better and better with showing more things. I particularly loved the one where you explained the air system in the truck and trailers, very interesting. I drive I rigid Hino 500 in Melbourne and am often around near the Lindsey yard, maybe see you around! Thanks for your efforts in doing what you do and filming for us all….even the little bit at the end of this one getting into bed, nice touch. Well done mate. Safe travels and keep em comin.
Top show Ken - mate, I first thought you'd started out at the Edinburgh Yard but you was in Melbourne. I seen that rain coming in to Brisbane on the radar on Sunday arvo so look like you caught the tail end of it mate, a stinker of a day up home today though. Look forward to your next show mate
Mate,another great video.This is one of the best insights on TH-cam to trucking "aussie style."Again, this is as real as it gets to what a truck driver has to deal with everyday,even the little things in detail.Well done mate.Enjoyed every minute of it.Lookiing forward to the next instalment.Thumbs up!
Great video Ken. I’d love to hear the story of how you continued to progress from those first Kenworths in the city to doing linehaul and the kinds of equipment you drove
Ken, love the videos, plenty of respect for B double drivers. I always go out of my to help them with spacing and radio. Love getting the big thank you. I live near Coffs and know Lindsays, but I am staggered at how big they. And all the depots they have and trailers everywhere. How many prime movers do they have.
Great video mate. Really shows exactly what trucking is all about. Any boss would be stoked to have you behind the wheel. Stay safe and keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Enjoyed you show, wondering if you can give more truck stuff, like sound of the engine and gear changes when you pull away onto the highway. Good effort, well done.
These videos are very inspiring and you've got me hooked. The older I get and the longer I spend in the same printing factory doing my daily job, the more I just want to get out there.
Hey ken love your videos can you show me how you split the trailers if you have time I drive my dads truck from Hobart to Melbourne every week love it thanks ken
Nice Jarmies. Looked like you're in the lockup😂.. I picked up this site a while ago and as an ex truckie finished 20 year ago (8-92 Detroit K model 15spd O/drive real truck and I have the back to prove it☺ ) you give us a great insight to the changes in the industry and especially how you chase the K's. . Our/your biggest problem has been and is that people will buy products without any idea on how they get to the shelf yet will abuse a truckie on the highway for hogging the road, cutting them off etc. and it won't change. Anyway good job, hope to see more. Safe travels.. PS: I reminisce on the roads you travel though on one trip you came out of SA to Cobar and down to Narrabrai before heading to Brisbane, you would have your reason
I love watching your channel grow mate. Keep it up, your videos are really enjoyable to watch. Also the extra footage at the end was good, such as going to the food court. It's funny when you spend so much time in a truck barely seeing anyone, then you go to a place like that it's almost overwhelming how many people fit in a small place haha.
I remember the mayhem in early mornings when us Brisbane guys would be getting into Sydney doing overnight. Wee hours of the morning full noise down Pennant Hills Rd.
Moving back to Aus in October, I have the UK equivalent of the MC license. It's a shame I can only transfer my Car license, but cannot transfer my Class 1 (UK)
I believe the transport departments cracked down on international heavy vehicle licences after a spate of crashes involving drivers with foreign licences. Mainly from the land of the Maharaja but that hasn't stopped them somehow getting an Australian one.
Is that Goon or Gun for Goondiwindi ???? When i was carting carrots ,Potatoes,oranges,cabbage from Griffith,Hay,Wagga areas i do recall Goon but i do hear Gun as well....not sure to this date weather it is Gun or Goon....its written Goon so it should be but pronounced Gun for so damn reason.... Thanks again keep them coming its very enjoyable.....take care...
Interesting to hear about how you got into truck driving Mate. I got my semi licence in a Leyland milk tanker with 13 speed road ranger but never ever used it. Ended up getting into the mining game and 40 years later came up from underground 😂. Do you listen to music all the time while driving and is it much the same as you have on the videos. Thanks for sharing your trips with us 👍
Yes,… I do listen to music but mainly stuff from the 70s,… the music I play on the videos is royalty free music that is made for movies and games I think
Another great video Ken! Any chance of updating which roadhouses are good for food and which ones have the best coffee? The BP at Halfway Creek between Coffs Harbour and Grafton was a decent feed. Stay Safe On Your Travels Mate :D
I’m so inspired by your channel! I love driving and soon I hope to live life on the road too, driving a BIG bus around Australia! And there’s some places I love more than others such as the many places in SA! Also hoping to road trip to QLD and WA soon as well!
Hi mate, Im new to the channel and I'm really enjoying your videos. It's great that you're starting to do some commentary while you're driving.Again really enjoying the videos.
I am enjoying your content. I do like the music tracks also. Could you drop the name of some of these artists. Question for you? How often does the company change the vehicles. Do you stay in the same truck most of the time? Much better to follow your channel than the Americans.
Thanks mate,… I’m in the same truck all the time,… they keep the trucks running until too many problems arise or it’s been written off,… glad you’re enjoying the videos
Love these videos. What sort of camera do you use? I'm looking for a camera to record our trips away in our motorhome. If you see a two-tone green MAN 24-420 tag axle motorhome in your travels give us a wave.
Thanks ken for the truck lane control advice from a relative newbie, I've been working MR/HR locally in Brisbane for the past year & just trying to find my pathway up to a HC soonest. Any chance you could please show how to hook up the lines and there functions.
Did you re edit this video, Ken? I watched it earlier today, put in a like and make a comment, then this one comes up, my like not shown and comment gone. Confusing. 🙂
Well I had to go to SYD and left CBR and Bbugger me I see a Lindsays B double at Goulburn on the hwy. So I sneak up the side to see if it's Ken and bloody run off the road...
To be honest,… I rarely sit down to a meal every night,… sometimes or most of the time I just don’t have the time to sit and wait for a proper meal to be prepared,… a lot of my loads are express so need to get in at a certain time,… sounds rough I know but that’s the way it is a lot of the time,… I’ll talk a little on food in the next video as many other people have been asking.
Klapp Bros, your kidding. I finished up with them about a two years ago, was there for 16 years doing there Linehaul, Or out to the ports. That old W model became the yard truck LOL. There sons run the company now KBT
I’ve forgotten the numbers,… I think there were 2 of them,… W model Kenworth,…day cabs,…then I drove an S line running Goulburn and Gosford then Newcastle and Canberra on alternate nights ,… first real Highway job I had,.
Hi mate, is remuneration simply a flat klm rate for linehaul? Are overnight slept in the truck claimable and nights slept in depots away from the truck claimable. Cheers!
51 cents klm rate and yes we generally sleep in the truck and are paid $43.79 for overnight allowance except when at your home depot. Some depots have aircon rooms which we can sleep in when we want to get out of the truck
Another great video Ken, at this rate I think you might get nominated for the Gold Logie - look out Hugh Jackman, Kens comin for ya!😂 Also hasn’t the BP at Goondiwindi changed, I can remember back in the 90’s when they used to have all you eat breakfast there - ah the good ol days!
Couple of questions for you Ken : What's the go with flat tyres? How often do they happen? Do you call out a mobile tyrefitter or do you have to change them yourself? Thanks mate really digging your videos.
@@thehomelesstrucky Is that convenient enough for you, or do you get stranded for hours waiting for a tyre fitter? We've got an MAN 24-420 tag axle but don't carry a spare. Haven't had a flat yet.
Bad typing mate old and stupid what I mean the Newell was my pet hey to run lots of good memories how times have changed you stay safe mate cheers 💪💪👍👍🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🍺

Hello , I have forwarded your channel to my brother in the USA as I think he is your slightly younger twin, haha, and he will enjoy your videos.😃
@@Bradleytheshihtzu Thanks so much, could you tell him to share it round with his mates lol, much appreciated
@@thehomelesstrucky certainly will do that 😀

Great video Ken. I’d love to hear the story of how you continued to progress from those first Kenworths in the city to doing linehaul and the kinds of equipment you drove
I might put that in one day but it’s not all that exciting lol
Thanks Ken, another great video as always. Very unfair showing the eggs and toast ... brought on hunger pangs and I've just had lunch ! 😄
Good job mate, thanks.
Great stuff enjoying your channel
Thanks mate
Good on you mate love it.
Thanks 👍
Another Great Video Ken, Thanks For Posting, Your Channell is Growing Day By Day, Simply Best Regards Gary,
Thanks Gary
Another great video. Keep them coming. Really enjoy the commentary that compliments the footage.
Ok,… I thought that would be the last thing you wanted but it seems not,… thanks for sharing
Ken, love the videos, plenty of respect for B double drivers. I always go out of my to help them with spacing and radio. Love getting the big thank you. I live near Coffs and know Lindsays, but I am staggered at how big they. And all the depots they have and trailers everywhere.
How many prime movers do they have.
A lot,… not really sure how many they have
Online it says Lindsays have over 1,000. vehicles and 16 terminals. Lindsay Rural employs over 1100 people
Around my neck of the woods for work.
The Fitzgerald and Boundry Rd Coles Express for a coffee, nice to see some familiar sights.
Great video mate. Really shows exactly what trucking is all about. Any boss would be stoked to have you behind the wheel. Stay safe and keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed you show, wondering if you can give more truck stuff, like sound of the engine and gear changes when you pull away onto the highway. Good effort, well done.
I think you once worked with an old mate of mine in Adelaide, Chris Geen, used to work for McCormacks?
These videos are very inspiring and you've got me hooked. The older I get and the longer I spend in the same printing factory doing my daily job, the more I just want to get out there.
We need blokes like you out here,… don’t waste too much time on the factory floor lol
Hey ken love your videos can you show me how you split the trailers if you have time I drive my dads truck from Hobart to Melbourne every week love it thanks ken
Love it Ken! another video really well done! Love the PJ's 😁😁

great video mate, as a trucker here in Ireland i respect the work you do.
I love watching your channel grow mate. Keep it up, your videos are really enjoyable to watch. Also the extra footage at the end was good, such as going to the food court. It's funny when you spend so much time in a truck barely seeing anyone, then you go to a place like that it's almost overwhelming how many people fit in a small place haha.
That’s what I thought,… first thing I noticed,… all the people!
Botany to Windsor in early 1990's was our morning sorted .. Enjoying the journey .. White Bay etc how things have changed
Good work Ken
Really enjoying the videos ken appreciate what u do driving day and night all hours to provide supplies to families safe travels mate
Thanks
I remember the mayhem in early mornings when us Brisbane guys would be getting into Sydney doing overnight. Wee hours of the morning full noise down Pennant Hills Rd.
Lol,… great days,… and we’d all travel together
Moving back to Aus in October, I have the UK equivalent of the MC license. It's a shame I can only transfer my Car license, but cannot transfer my Class 1 (UK)
I believe the transport departments cracked down on international heavy vehicle licences after a spate of crashes involving drivers with foreign licences. Mainly from the land of the Maharaja but that hasn't stopped them somehow getting an Australian one.
It's doing my head in to figure out the driving hours today compared to what they used to be.
Lol,… having 14 hours to play with is a lot easier
Great videos, love seeing your work & life on the road. Plus all your pre departure checks & procedures.
Thanks mate
Great work Ken keep on truckin your best one yet safe travels
Thanks 👍
Is that Goon or Gun for Goondiwindi ????

Thanks again keep them coming its very enjoyable.....take care...
Locals seem to get upset if you call it GOONdiwindi instead of GUNdiwindi. Weird that it's not pronounced the way it's spelt.
Spelt goon,… pronounced gun,… don’t you just love the English language lol

I was only having a dig abut the Vic/NSW typo mate. it was in jest!
I only read 1 comment from a bloke in France and went and corrected it lol,… I watched the video about 50 times and still didn’t catch on
Loved the ending 😂
I am enjoying your content. I do like the music tracks also. Could you drop the name of some of these artists.
Question for you? How often does the company change the vehicles. Do you stay in the same truck most of the time?

Hi Ken
I’d would interested in the tripe of food you eat on the road. How do you keep food or drinks cold.
Spelling error.
Type. Food to stay healthy the best way you can driving all those ks
Have a fridge in the truck penny and eat a lot of egg and salad sandwiches lol
Did you re edit this video, Ken? I watched it earlier today, put in a like and make a comment, then this one comes up, my like not shown and comment gone. Confusing. 🙂
Sorry mate,… I said Nhill was in NSW so had to re edit the video
Well I had to go to SYD and left CBR and Bbugger me I see a Lindsays B double at Goulburn on the hwy. So I sneak up the side to see if it's Ken and bloody run off the road...
Sorry to hear that mate,… not all of us are like that
Can you explain what meals you have when you stop at the road houses, Please?
To be honest,… I rarely sit down to a meal every night,… sometimes or most of the time I just don’t have the time to sit and wait for a proper meal to be prepared,… a lot of my loads are express so need to get in at a certain time,… sounds rough I know but that’s the way it is a lot of the time,… I’ll talk a little on food in the next video as many other people have been asking.

Couple of questions for you Ken : What's the go with flat tyres? How often do they happen? Do you call out a mobile tyrefitter or do you have to change them yourself?
