    Good one Ken! Mate that West Connext tunnel is mint - I was doing a lot of travel out to Newy over the past couple of years in me old job and would usually fly into Sydney and drive up. That tunnel cuts about an hour of the transit time. Far cry from the old days 20 years ago when I'd take the slow road up via the North Shore on the way to Brissy mate

    Regarding your reversing onto the dock, I'm surprised they let you in through the gates with both trailers on. At Larapinta DC (Qld) it's one trailer in at a time, although once loaded you can hook up the second trailer on dock and depart with the full set.

    • @thehomelesstrucky
      @thehomelesstrucky  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There’s just enough room so they still let us come in

    Hi from France, just one tiny,little thing, blokes over here can't even back one trailer onto a loading dock or into à factory or out of a deadend (long story ),so the question is how on earth do you do it ? I drove a quad dog for a spell is it comparable ?
