05:00 "I'm impressed" I'm bloody impressed!
Just a lot of practice.
I have to say, that since subscribing, I'm very impressed - a lot. I'm an old Australian Army guy, still serving, and I subscribe to to two USA corn farmers, a USA hog farmer, Ward Carroll who's a former tactical fighter pilot, Spare Parts Army and a whole lot (not many, really) of other eclectic channels.
My point is that if you are interesting, informative and have quality content, I don't care what your job is. I just want to relax and watch interesting experts.
I'm a 4xD person, I have those channels, but diversity is a wonderful thing.
Still catching up :)
Oh very nice. Thanks very much Stuart. I try.
13:50 amazing, I had no idea
Mmmm
Very interesting Johnno. Thank you to Tez too, such a great character he is. This made me think of showing different ways of doing up chains, ropes, and straps but of course when you get the time
Yes it was fun. Just a pity about the damages.
That was the eazy video I have been in. Just turn up, Hold the camera, Talk some B.S. than go home. Let Johnno do all the work. 😂😂😂 I was good to see you again. Thanks for dropping in.
Nice job in the last hours of the week Tez. That is not always the case. Good to see you both in 1 clip Tez. You should do that more. Maybe include the different transports, your work and where you are, and johnno's in 1 clip. Ore a 3 shutter with Ken. Just a brain storm.
Oh yeah. I've always wanted to see what it would be like making a video with a cameraman. I also don't mind needing the camera operator for someone else.
It turned out well in the end.
Awesome
2 legends… hope johnno u bought Tez dinner
I was in credit
That's some impressive reversing. well done.
Thanks Mark.
I'll bet good money that the loader operator's name is Billy - Billy Half-Bucket! 😂
Ha ha. Very good
Excellent video, at last someone who doesn't make reversing hard work
It's all about the practice makes prefect.
@@RoadTrainAdventures it's nice to see it done properly.
👍
John I like the way you and Tez work together well done
Thanks heaps. A good team always works well together.
Well done Johnno and Tez, educational and entertaining as always.
Thanks Dean. I was afraid this video might have turned out a little more entertainment with the damages.
Great video, good to see you and Tez together. It's funny how quickly delays can spiral out of control because of minor things.
Yes but we got the job done in the end.
In an ideal world how long would it normally take?.
A Max of 2 hours but if I were to keep the dolly under the dog then one hour.
Very informative Johnno - keep on truckin !
Thanks Virgil.
Hello John, I'm from Uzbekistan, always good luck on the road
Awesome. Thanks and its great to have you along.
Another great video John 👍. Oh, the glamour of trucking 😉🇬🇧
Thanks Bob. I wish it was all glamour.
Seen the stacked trailers and now I know. Great video
Excellent
Great stuff Johnno and Tez 🍺🇦🇺
Thanks Rick
bloody hell start calling you two Bill and Ben ... good stuff guys
Ha ha. You might be right.
Most impressive video. Thank you.
Awesome. Thanks Ron.
That was hard work just watching you .Well done to you both.
Thanks David. It's not usually that difficult but that ramp wasn't made for loading these kind of trailers.
This is a good intruction video, thanks. Greatings from Holland
Thanks. It was a basic video.
Nice tto see Tez on camera instead of behind it, happy new year guys
He was good at both
Where's a fkn' crane when ya want one! LOL. Good show fellas!
Oh you see the sign being held up by the Fran a.
Your bloody game letting Tez help you.
Ha ha. It was fun.
Well done mate easy job then run as a single all the way home full noise , worth the effort plus saves the boss a couple of bucks in fuel cheers
Thanks heaps. That's the idea.
That was entertaining and very informative. Good to see Tez, I watch his channel too. You shall now be known as "Johnno the Ramp Destroyer" haha.
Ha ha. I felt bad after that happened but I'm pretty sure Tez had fixed the ramp already.
Excellent work
Very good
Happy New Year Johnno,
I hope you had some quality time at home over the, festive holidays.
Another cracking video of a true professional.
I grow up around trucks,and farming. We had our own trucks when I was a child, and I started driving as soon as I was able to touch the pedals.
I have had a truck license since I was, 21. As much as, I loved to drive dad wanted me to have a trade.
I have had lots of experience with heavy haulage, and rear steering, module trailers, but seeing you put that, dolly on that trailer was fantastic to see.
I enjoyed watching you guys doing the business, and making it look easy.
It not an easy life when you are doing it in the, extreme weather, dust, monsoons, not to mention the wild life.
It is no wonder you guys call us winging Pom’s! 😂 some of our boys cry if they have to go to, France.
Keep on trucking, Johnno. Stay safe good buddy, and 10-10.
PS the Cabover, Kenworth looks nice. Do you prefer a bonneted, or the cabover?
I much prefer my big bonnet than a cabover. It's all about the comfort. A long wheel base isn't going to throw you around over the bumps.
What's wrong with going to France? I can only dream of doing something like that.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andre.
That was great stuff.
Thanks Jonathan
Another great vid 👌😎🇦🇺
Thanks again
Excellent game of trailer tetris 👍
Thanks Andrew. That's what we were going for.
Any tips are always appreciated 👌
Very good. Thanks Andre
Love ur Kenworth T909 mate.😍
Thanks Adrian. I like it too
Great Video Johnno
Thanks Macca
Gee the loading ramp in Queensland was very ordinary Johnno when compared to the ramp in your home yard. Thanks for the video Mate 👍
Yes. They made it mainly for loading tractors which have heaps of room under the tractor.
I liked this video johnno mate and hi to Tez.And to add Johnno mate very nice backing work onto the ramp i did it once and it took me 5 times to get the truck straight lol..
It's all about practice.
It's really interesting and entertaining guys ✌️🇬🇧
Thanks Chris. I was afraid it might be more entertaining.
Good one
Thanks Rachel
No I have not fix the ramp yet. It on my job list.
Oh no.
You haven't fixed it yet. I meant to ask you when I was on the phone.
This is cool to see! I used to do this in Canada with super B's to haul lumber 25 years ago. Where there's a will there's a way!
Thanks Jeremy. For sure
Yu blokes make a ezy job look hard 🤣🤣🤙🇳🇿😎
Ha ha. The ramp wasn't the best
It's a credit to you for getting it up there 👍🏻
Thanks heaps
Geeze got a sweat up just watching it 👍
Thanks Daniel. Yes in Queensland is nearly always humid and as I'm not from that area, it always gets to me.
Another great video mate! That ramp angle didn't look right from even before you attempted to send it up. Hopefully not too much work for Tez to fix! 😂 I too am a "run the strap through my hands before rolling" person... not anymore now! Makes total sense, and whilst it probably doesn't save too much time... it certainly gives the feeling as though it does! haha - Nice work mate, and hope you had a great Chrissy and New Years! Cheers, Rob
Oh thank you very much. I'm glad I could impart some help to you.
prawdziwy zawodowiec.
👍
Nice job 😉
Thanks Geert
Very good
Thanks heaps
There's something quite thrilling about watching two men at work
Ha ha. I hope that's in a good way.
Really interesting video. Definitely quicker with a second prime mover.
It sure was.
Nice 👍
Thanks again Eric
Nice work man. Never seen it done before. For some reason I always assumed they were craned on lol.
Only if we are lucky
Ha ha yeah I can only imagine what has to be done out in remote areas
If there is no ramp then we just have to drag all the trailers behind us.
Wooow. You had a good camera man. Togheter with Tez the bear on a job. This was the best. Bisede that you did it very well to stack it up,like the bear said. And you let the air out of the bags i gues? Thanks for show this and all explenations. Thanks Tez too. Catch you on the flip side
It was great working with Tez. Just a pity about the damages
@@RoadTrainAdventures Yes to bad but things happen. The bloks where to light to withstand the pressure of the dirt and trailer,i think. As we know you Johnno. Also show you the mistakes. While others cut them from the video. Fortunately, it is not too serious and can be repaired in a short time.
Danke für das tolle Video 😂😂😂 Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
I wasn't going to show the mistake but then other people can learn from my mistakes too.
👍
That ramp could do with a bit of maintenance to make it easier.
Yes. It wasn't made for long trailers like mine. It was made to load tractors.
You guys need a little crane out there!!,
Ha ha. Yes that certainly makes it easier.
Vielen Dank für das Video 😂😂😂 Grüße aus Deutschland
Sorry, I can't translate. Can you type in English please.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thank you for the Video!
And I wont say hello Germany
And wish you a happy New Year
@catcam2850 Thank you very much and happy new year to you too.
Really interesting video Johnno, does the boss ever watch them?
I’m picking that’s where the comment “ that’s what the boss wants” came from 😂😂
Yes the boss sometimes waches some of them. I got that saying from when I started abs they showed me how they want me to chain down the trailers.
Ive never had to do that!!!! So thanks for showing how its done! That first ramp was a cluster f#$k, also, do you have to have permits if you stack trailers, dollies like that? Great video mate!!!
No I don't need any permits to stack trailers.
We top our empty flatbeds to send back to the UK on the ferry from Jersey. It saves on shipping costs because the ferry company charges by the metre so the top one goes for free.
We don't have a ramp to top them, the trailers have twist locks and we use a flat container and the freighter forklift lifts it on top of the other trailer. Not going to lie a ramp seems a bit safer but space is limited on our tiny island 😅
Yes it's a great idea
Cracking video mate. You get a subscribe from me!👌👍
Very nice. Thanks for watching and it's great to have you along.
Happy New Year to you Johnno, if you leave me by the ramp for a day il build il build you a High Way. lol, Have a Safe New Year on the highways and Dirt, bar the Crocs spiders snakes and John Farnham, Sorry John. Bless Chook.
Thanks Chook. Happy new year to you toom
Haaa the back trailer gate... my memory goes back to mid 1970's , was driving for Flemings out of Wagga Wagga , had to load an empty trailer that was in Fleet Express Car Carrier yard in Melbourne, after I got it on could see the rear gate will go back up so so trying to get it into position I lost balance and ended up down off the loading ramp onto the ground, the bloody gate followed me and landed on my ankle, could not put any weight on the foot , still drove back home over night , the pain was terrible, Doctor said nothing was broken so took a load of bulk grain down to Melbourne the next night,,
Oh I can imagine the pain with the gates landing on your ankle. No good at all.
excellent video, just subscribed to the channel, I really enjoy your stories Lumbars is your own company. ?
Awesome. It's great to have you along. No I'm just an employee of Lumbar's.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Great. Thanks for the response. Do you have Instagram?

Can you translate to English please.
Hey Johnno have you ever stacked a triple I've seen them on the road always wondered if they used a crane to stack them or did it on a ramp ,was good watching you and Tez, ,was bit easier back at your depot unloading much better ramp ,so mate now I'm retired from driving was with Dyers I will be watching you for my Road fix
Cheers Kym
Adelaide
Road fix. Ha ha. Thanks Kym. Over in WA we might stack triples more but no we stack them the same.
Actually in WA we can attack the dolly and trailer connected together which saves time too.
@@RoadTrainAdventures
Yeh Johnno I've noticed the dolly still attached ,that's why I was surprised you loaded the dolly separately, different rules for each state ,stay safe Mate
Kym
Yes. In NSW they knock us off for being over length if we keep the dolly under.
Damaging his ramp? If it was made properly in the first place and not made so it needs rebuilding every 10-12 trailer movements!? Anyway, some great info. I've only ever dragged around A-B and singles, truck and dog. This will be next perhaps. Slow is fast. Thinking leads to not having to "Fix" things. A lot more professional than you were making it out to be. Dropping the draw bar and ring onto the tarp to save a dint in the bosses trailer for example. Good job, "Over!" 👍👋
Thanks Peter. The ramp was actually made to load tractors with lots of clearance so it was the first time they used it to load a trailer
very nice to have a hook integrated like that on the truck, that looks like it could move some weight here in europe all ive seen is just to move the dolly around without the trailer attached i wonder how much youre allowed to pull with that hook like that on the truck
That hook could pull a lot of weight but it wouldn't be good to tow on the road with. It just designed to move trailers around the yard.
makes sense you wouldmt want to be on the road like that trucks wouldnt be stable at all i bet but its nice to eb able to mvoe the trailers arounds the yard without decoupling more than you need to@@RoadTrainAdventures
For sure
That's why I hate flate beds too much time and effort waisted loading tarping and stacking trailers up that was a solid 2:30 hours gone
I still much prefer flat tops. I'd rather tarp every fifth load or so that have to open and close the sides every time you want anything from inside.
I may have missed it in the beginning did you put one trailer on another to save tyres or because of regulations.
Both but mainly to save wear and tear of the tyres and fuel.

Can you type that in English please. I can't translate.
Interesting video. You don't say how long the trip was but I'm surprised it's worthwhile stacking the trailers like that. I wouldn't have thought the fuel and tyre savings were worth your time unless it was a seriously long trip. Plus it doesn't look very safe to me, you would only need a accident or two causing an injured driver for the increased workers compensation premiums to discourage the boss from making you do it.
It is worth it. As I'm an employee, the tone he pays me to stack the trailers is going to be easy less than the extra fuel they would spend dragging the trailers 1600kms on the ground.
Mate if that was me backing on to a trailer it would need 2 days, and an expensive repair bill lol
Ha ha. You should have been with us then. Couldn't have turned out much different then.
My mate when he stacks his trailers he leaves the dolly on the pup and load them as 1 and swing the dolly arm upwards and chain it backwards
NSW coppers knock many off for that saying it puts us over length otherwise I would definitely do this too.
Copy he is in WA too I should've said that and I thought it would sit high with dolly on top of the 2 trailers
It doesn't sit high but it will over hang at the back end.
On Farms for anything that breaks or bends, blame the 'damage fairies"
Ha ha. Yes that might work.
👍👍🚚🚚👍👍
Thanks Alan
I was always far too lazy to stack the dog so I use to walk it home.
We do that sometimes but only if it's close enough.
I was going to ask how on earth you were going to stack at Kals. Didn't realise he was building a new ramp! I used to go into the Goondiwindi showgrounds to stack.
I want sure where else a ramp was so as I new Tez was just down the road I thought I would go there.
The old ramp was in a bad spot and you could barely load a tractor on it!
That'll be a good ramp once he's finished it. I said for years he needs to hardstand that whole front paddock but he had oats growing and sheep there and all kinds of shit when I was there!
I think it's a good ramp now it's been packed up a little.

Can you type this in English please.
Saving ya back and shoulders use reverse ratchet hand ratchets definitely better
We have those too. They are harder to use but yes they pull down harder. If I need to really pull down them I have an attachment line a lever.
Gday Jonno, all the Road Trains I’ve driven had Jost Turntables and I always thought you couldn’t have a QRTT on a Road Train. Can you please confirm that for me?
What is that abbreviation, QRTT?
@@RoadTrainAdventures Quick release turn table
Oh. Any turntable is fine. We mostly use Holland which is great and easy to release.
What is the make/model of
your truck
I've got the Kenworth T909
One would think all the time and work it takes to stack trailers and unstack, you could be down the road a couple hundred miles... am I wrong?
Yes and no. It uses a lot less fuel dragging one trailer instead of two and a dolly.
Also they say a road train is limited to do just 90km/h over a single trailer that can do 100.
Interesting how you lot donit in oz . We use a ramp too , its a bit shallower in angle than yours , sonwe dont ground belly boxes on trailers out . We stack them with doubles , triples if headboards are low enough . Even do 5 in one with 2 upside down they are craned on mainly for export to africa . How long are your trailers . Look longer than ours in uk . Ours vary from 40 , 45 foot in length . Got a few rear steer ( rear most axle of a tri axle steers ) 50 footers for trunk runs . . Too much red tape in uk for us to have combos like u lot in oz
Every ramp is built differently. Most people just build their own. This one wasn't built for trailers as they normally just use it to load a tractor which had heaps of clearance.
Our trailers are all 45 foot but some are 40 foot for pulling containers only.
John are they Haulmark Trailers ? I have a soft spot for them
I'm not with them now and I don't remember what they were
@@RoadTrainAdventures They are Freighter , I had another look , sorry .
Yes I thought they might have been Freighter. We have a number of those.
Hi John, thanks again for this interesting video. I have a question again: Does the trailers and dollies have ABS? At minute 9:40 you show the electric plug for the connection of the prime mover with the trailer. I have seen that the plug has 7 pins. May you explain me the pin assignment? The function of this seven pins? Is there ABS included too? Because in Europe we have two electric connections, two plugs, two cables. One is for the ilumination of the trailers, the other is for controlling the ABS. Thanks heaps and stay safe mate 😀👍
Some of our newer trailers have ABS and all of our trucks do. I don't think our dollys do though.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thank you for the information. But what can you do in case of an emergency breaking? I think with a triple or quad is almost impossible, right?
No. A little of the opposite. When you're loaded there is more weight holding the tyres on the ground and less likely to skid. When you're empty then you're very likely to skid into the back of something.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Yes I understand, thank you for explain me. I wish you all the best, stay safe 😀
Thanks heaps.
What brand truck do you have
We have all sorts. I don't remember what those trailers were.
Another great Vlog, good to see some lashing of loads and what to look out for, cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Awesome. Thanks Steven
Sure can tell that kenworth is a Cummins good job getting all loaded
Thanks Alan. As much as I like Cummins, I've had a good run with Detroit too.
Why don't you back the dog trailer and dolly onto the lead trailer together and lift the a frame of the dolly and chain up? I have seen that done plenty of times before
I would have but I am going to NSW and there they knock us off for being over length.
The "ramp"... Why not built of steel... I ask me really, why ;-) only double work and dangerous, too
I've never seen a ramp made of steel anywhere. They are all like this. Just some are made better than others.
Plus steel ramps would be slippery if wet or muddy.@@RoadTrainAdventures
Well yes and no. What about the car ramps with those cut outs for grooves and the ramps on the back of trailers. Sorry to sound negative.
Video time 7:06 LMAO
Comedy festival
Good vid, BUT you made one huge mistake. Every time you tighten a strap, rope, or chain, you are required by law to flick it like a guitar string and say , thats not going anywhere!
Ssh. Just don't tell anyone else or I might get in to trouble. Ha ha
Why don’t you ever wear work gloves ?? 😊
I only wear them if I need to. They just make it harder to work plus when it's hot and humid, that's the last thing I want on my hands.
First go not your first rodeo
You got it
