I've not driven a AUTO yet I climbed into a mates new Rig yesterday and it had no stick???? I said to him ! Where's the Stick and he laughed at me then I said O'Bloody Auto hey,,, it's only the First one I've ever seen... But thats ok... I get my New Rig this Monday so the Boss just told me. and It's A 15 Speed Roadie thank Good ness.. lol
from Canada i got to say great driviing dingo got your baby. I wish i saw more drivers shifting like that instead of not finding it and grinding it. Keep trucking
hello i am looking to migrate to Australia i live in the uk and i am 21 i also have family in Australia i have my hgv class 1 and 2 for the uk and was wondering if i could drive in Australia with my heavy good license with a uk license
@mickthegodofallevil you can apply with the coverning body of the area that you are looking to move to and possibly get an exemption of haveing to have a rigid then go for Heavy Combinanation.
over here in New Zealand i've been in most built trucks. Okay Kenworths have the grunt and the bad ass looks, 630hp cummins plows up the hills piece of piss and has the nice jacobs to go with it. Volvo dont have the as much power put are far more comfortable and well bulit. japanese trucks are allrounders, strong, relaiable & cheap. 530hp isuszu shits all over lower horepower european gear. We have Stealings with mercs in then now and they don't perform very well at all for an american truck.
yer not to keen on me old mans T908 kills my arse legs and back, took it up to sydney and mate coodnt wait to get out of it, id ratha drive me mates old White Road Commander with a 2 stroke GM, so i got me old man to buy me a new argosy evolution. So mate looks like that 112 is the one i wanted to watch, but dont mind an auto either lol
Fellas it is all about personel prefreance i bought my self a kenny T908 not a problem but i bought top of the line which may help in the comfort sector
Love watchn your vids mate. Your a top operator and looks like you look after your gear well. I am 21 and been truckn in New Zealand for 2 1/2 years. I am hoping to drive in australia within the next 2 years. Hard to get a job or are they screaming out for them over there??
The volvo trucks seems to me floats alot better then the rest. It´s more quiet and much nicer inside and i don´t here any squiks and rattles(have no idea how those two words spells but i sure you understand). The other ones looks like they are from the 70´s.
The Kenworths have Cummins engines - they are Signatures, not the 903! Not too sure what the old Freightliner has - could be an N14 Cummins while the Volvo has their own D16C!
The Volvo is a FH16 - possibly rated at 550hp or 610hp... McColl's is a mixed fleet - North American (Freightliner, Kenworth) and Europeans (Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, some Scanias but not many)!
i used to work on volvos the best ones to drive is the fm12 dont rock as round as much, but when i drove a fh12 with a sleeper cab that was good to drive
hey man, that k104 u drive? that got a cummins aye? sounds like a monster man, da auto gets along quite nicely too dont it haha, nah good vid man, keep them comin
The Volvo gearbox is not like a roadranger. It will be either a 3 over 3, or 4 over 4 with a splitter in each gear, so either 12spd or 16spd. Many trucks here in the UK have this pattern. It is most typical and synchromesh too, so generally need the clutch for changes, definitely for the splitter.
Great video. How does one get a cool driving job like yours especially in Australia. Can you advise the type of license needed and where I can apply for truck driving jobs.
Thats still because of the pioneers, so that he can hold the gun in his right hand and shoot out of the window, big advantage over the left hand drive cars that we are used to!!!
Kenworth T404 has a 13 Speed, Freightliner has a 13 Speed, Volvo has a 14 Speed, Kenworth K104 has an 18 Speed and the Kenworth T350 has an 18 Speed auto shift.
Looks exactly like my dad when I was growing up. Funny, because he drove trucks all day long. For the state though. So it must be the trucker look globaly.
That KW T-404 has a rather high dashboard.

Quick question:
I noticed in the T404 and 104 you used first gear (low-range) on take off. Do you normally use 1st in suburban/industrial areas?
Not meaning to sound rude, I've just always found 2nd to be more "efficient" in those types of environments.

The Volvo gearbox is not like a roadranger. It will be either a 3 over 3, or 4 over 4 with a splitter in each gear, so either 12spd or 16spd. Many trucks here in the UK have this pattern. It is most typical and synchromesh too, so generally need the clutch for changes, definitely for the splitter.
