yeah! I call it "shaken baby syndrome" in parts. Great to see some local vids

youd be surprised, i dont drive them at the moment, i just have to fix them and some of the 'defects' i have come in end up in a 2 day argument with the rta and the defect being cleared without having to do any work cos she's all legal to start with. the cops see trucks as revenue raisers, if a cop doesn't like trucks in general they'll do their best to stuff your day

Don't do anything wrong and they surprisingly leave you alone.
And make sure you wear a seat belt !

love the shot about 1:34, pigs at the rest stop, they never stop pickin on trucks, learn to hate them when you work on them for a livin, they make our busiest days for repairs so much busier

Grest video!!
A question.. I notice it seems all Aussie trailers have 3 axles, vs only 2 here in the US. Is this a road/highway department law requiring 3? Or are the trailers longer/heavier? We're 53 ft (trailer), and 80k combined (prime mover + 1 trailer) gross weight here in the States, is it different there for a single?

@HillbillyonaYZ Our trucks with prime mover and one trailer is 43.5t (metric) which is 95901 pounds. I drive an AB triple (showen in newer vids of mine) grossing at 102.5t (metric) which is 226000 pounds.
