About Me:
 
I've been an interstate trucker for 30 years. Prior to that I was a hard-rock underground miner for 13 years. Also operated eguipment in open-cut mines but mainly was underground.
I've owned this Kenworth for 13 years and I also own two 45 foot trailers and a convertor dolly. I live just out of Melbourne, Victoria in the southern half of Australia and I drive to Perth, WA and the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of northern Australia, also Darwin, Northern Territory.
A trip to the Pilbara is about 11,000 kms or nearly 7,000 miles round trip.
We have to drive 190 km to New South Wales to legally hook up a 2 trailer road train... 3 and 4 or more trailers are only used in the remote north of Australia. The truck has a CAT 3408 V8 18 liter engine, which is quite rare here, I believe KW Australia made about 30 trucks with these engines.

Brilliant video's mate. I've been searching for this kind of channel for ages. Glad to see there's a lot of people out there that like watching these as well. Keep making them, and safe driving. Respect from SW UK...

Couldnt hit the subscribe button fast enough after viewing your videos. My dream is to work over in Australia as a trucker. Keep the wheels rolling. Respect from a Scottish Trucker.

Not really a comment but a question. How do you communicate when you're out in the middle of no where? Probably no cell phone service and with little traffic, maybe CB is pretty limited. Does that just leave you on your own until someone comes by?
I wish the best to all our men on the road, have a nice trip!
