  • Thanks for watching the first episode of Trucking World and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for future videos!
    This is the first in a new series where I’ll be covering trucking in specific countries around the globe, in a decidedly more organized and better produced fashion than previous videos I’ve made on trucking. Considering how Trucking World is beginning with the country of New Zealand, there’ll be no specific order that these videos will be in and I’ll go about selecting the country for the next video based on public opinion in the comments section. I am open to covering past topics again however I may not get around to them for a bit unless people really want me to. Thanks again for watching!
    I apologize for my pronunciation of Aotearoa, it’s supposed to be Ao-tay-ah-ro-ah. Also, trucks which are TRANSPORTING 2000kg or more are capped at 80km/h, not the total weight of the vehicle.

    So a baby, a goblin, and a Hungarian walk into a bar.
    The Hungarian says, "I am hungry because I'm from the country that sounds like the word hungry in the English language."
    The goblin says, "I'll have two vodka red bulls."
    The baby says, "I will also have two vodka red bulls."
    The bartender says, "Babies can't drink."
    The goblin says, "Yeah that's true, isn't it," and turns to face the baby.
    In the time it takes the goblin to turn his head 90 degrees to the left, the Hungarian man has eaten the bartender and the bar and the baby and the goblin too.
    He then delivers the punchline.

    New Zealand is heaven for a truck spotter, they have a lot of rare and unique stuff from other countries. If it exists, it can probably be found in New Zealand. Unmodified Japanese fire engines, trucks from obscure English and American brands like Atkinson, Commer, Diamond REO and Marmon, on and off-highway Canadian loggers, and a lot of antique trucks can all be found in NZ. I would visit solely for the trucks.

    Probably the largest contributor to that huge road maintenance cost is precisely because of how dependent we are on trucking to get things around, it's a shame to think that the government spent vast sums of money connecting practically every town with railways and then decided 'nah, let's build highways and let trucks do it now'.

    New Zealand's state highway network is not high quality, majority of the roads are tight 2 lane single carriage ways that constantly get ripped apart by the large amount of trucks we have running on them, then get half baked repairs, often chipseal that barely last a few months before it needs attention again. Even our larger roads like the Waikato expressway are constantly having sections of road limited down to one lane because the surface is so ripped up you could break a wheel at the 110 speed limit.

    hot tip, we dont say aotearoa here. the land we live on is called new zealand, and aotearoa is just as much an invented term as is new zealand. both terms only existing since 1850, technically the term new zealand is even older. maori didnt have a constituient country and many didn't even live on the south island until the 1700s by the time the dutch had already been and left. and almost all maori did not travel around NZ, so the only terms were for the tribes, or TE WAIPONAMU ( WATER AND GREEN STONE)/TE WAKA A MAUI (MAUI'S BOAT) are the indigenous terms for the south island, and TE IKA A MAUI ( THE FISH OF MAUI) for the north island, the mythology being that the south island is the fishing canoe of the mythological figure maui, and the north island somewhat resembling a manta ray, being the fish that maui caught.

    In case you're curious as to why most trucks in NZ are 'cab overs', its because much longer and heavier loads can be carried within the overall length, without the intrusion of the traditional 'long-nose.' This is especially so on confined roads and city driving, where tight turning is necessary when hauling long loads.
    In NZ the traditional 'long-nose', is more generally confined to the heavier 'prime-mover (tractor-unit)' role, for hauling semi and multi-trailer configurations.

    Lryics:
    New Zealand, also known as Aotearoa in the indigenious maori language is a small island nation located in the south western pacific ocean. With a population of just over 5 million, this country is renown for its breath taking natural landscapes, diverse culture, and friendly people. From the snow-capped peaks of the southern alps, to the sandy beaches of the southerm island, New zealand is of contrasts that offers visitors a unique and unforgetable experience. Those arguably most familiar with New Zealand's picturesque landscapes have to be the almost 35 thousand truck drivers who call this island nation home. New Zealand is home to the 52nd largest road network in the world. With a total length of 96,817 kilometers. 11 thousand kilometers of which is made up of the country's state highway network. Valued at 23 billion New Zealand dollars, this highway network connects almost all major population centers in the country and requires a hefty 2.2 billion dollars anually to maintain. This price tag does come with many benefits though, as New Zealand's highways are some of the best in the world and considering how reliant the country is on cars and trucks for transportation, the condition of these roads are essential to keep the nation functioning. Heavy vehicles such as trucks are capped at a maximum speed limit of 90 kilometers an hour unless their gross weight is over 2 thousand kilograms, in which case 80 kilometers and hour becomes the maximum. Driving down the left hand side of New Zealand's roads, you can see trucks from around the world transporting goods. These trucks come in one of two varieties. Either cabover style trucks which feature a flat face, or what are called traditional cab trucks which are differentiated by the longer nose at the front. Some of the most popular cabover trucks in the country are from international manufacturers. Such as Scania, Volvo, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes, DAF, Hino, Kenworth, and International. Like Australia, certain American branded trucks are exclusively produced and used in Oceania. Two of which are the Kenworth K200 and the International 9870, both of which are cabover style trucks North Americans desperately want and Ocanians are happy to keep from them. Traditional cab trucks typically come from North American brands such as Freightliner, Mack, Kenworth, Western Star, Caterpillar, and International. New Zealand is home to a veried economy. With a totaled GDP of almost 250 billion US dollars. The country's main exports are dairy products, meat, wood, fruits and vegetables, as well as wine, which are generally shipped to the five main economic partners of China, Australia, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, listed in order of economic importance. All of these industries rely heavily on New Zealand's truck drivers to transport products to and from seaports. As 99.5% of exports and imports are handled via container ship. Though the country has invested quite a bit into their rail network over the years, only 16% of freight is transported by train, leaving the rest mostly up to truck drivers. As is the case in many areas of the world, the average salary of truckers in New Zealand isn't exactly adequate. With the average driver making only 54,405 New Zealand dollars per year. Drivers here are required to take a 30 minute break after 5 and a half hours of work time, and in any 24-Hour period they're permitted to work up to 13 hours with 10 hour mandatory breaks in-between. In a given week, drivers are allowed to acrue up to 70 hours of working time before being required to take a 24 hour rest day. Though this system is somewhat complicated, it seems to function fine for the most part. However, pretty much all drivers wish they could drive and sleep as they personally see fit. In terms of truck regulations, semi trucks are limited to a maximum length of 23 meters, a maximum height of 4.25 meters, and a maximum gross weight of 50 metric tonnes.

Most of them aren't even asphalt; 2-lane chipseal tracks make up this country's arterial roads (and even many urban streets!). I've been to Australia, and their roading system is light-years ahead of ours.
    Still, it was really cool to see all those familiar scenes. 😊

    A lot of truck drivers here in New Zealand don't keep to that 90kph speed limit. Also worth mentioning that our roads suck!

    Height is 4.3m weight is upto 58t with permits and salaries vary upto 130k nzd. You may go higher and heavier 200+tonne but obviously permits are required

    I live in the South Island of New Zealand, on a country road that has higher proportion of trucks than average. They're some of the best drivers on the road (as you can see from these clips... tackling tight corners while all the cars tailgate and pass without signalling LOL).
    Not sure I'd say we have one of the best high way systems in the world - 95% of it has just one lane each side, and it's chip seal not tarmac. It's kept in pretty good condition for what it is, but there's no motorways between the city.

    Cool video about us in NZ! Unfortunately some incorrect info. For example max gross tonnage is 60 ton, with permits etc. We also dont see A-trains around anymore. Mainly B-trains and truck and trailers, aka rigid and draw bar pull trailers.

    Hey Yukon, a video I think you should do is on ambulances and the different challenges they face in different countries. I follow a German ambulance drivers channel on TH-cam and its really fascinating to see how Germans, will, for the most part, move to let medical vehicles get thru
    Conversely, here in the USA, it feels like every man for himself. Some people move, some people don't. Of course the law requires you to move but I see many people who don't bother, and also people who wait for it to pass them then speed up to follow the ambulance thru the clearing

    • @goatmonarch
      @goatmonarch ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel like for the US it just depends on the place. Generally for me everytime ive seen a ambulance people move over. But the US is a giant place so it may vary on the state/city

      @@goatmonarch But I love how a such a big country lacks mandatory driving school, longer and stricter tests before obtaining a driver's license.
      Every driver in the US were taught to drive by their parents, which explain why most US drivers are stupid and have no respect for the pedestrians, emergency vehicles and even driving slow on the left lane on the interstates

    Yeah, trucks are a key part of any national freight network. New Zealand doesn’t have nearly as much space for rail transport as Australia or the USA, so good roads are extremely important
