I saw something on those jobs before and it was so much hassle to stop and restart for a toilet break that they used to piss into plastic bottles whilst driving. Hours and hours and hours of driving then on empty roads out in the arsehole of nowhere, fair play to them because I certainly couldn’t do it.
Imagine getting stuck behind that fucker
Train driver.*
I had a laugh when I first saw the Caution: Long Vehicle signs on the back of a truck here after living in WA. Those road-trains are something else, once they are up to speed, it takes them a kilometre to stop even under emergency braking. I know this because a news clip interviewed activists who were going to lie in the roads used by the trains in protest against something or other and they asked a truckie for his views.

This is how r/Ireland sees Ford Rangers
Road trainnnn
I’d definitely be like; *”Did I leave with 3 or 4?”* when I got to my destination.
That’s seems like complete overkill on the axles
just drives off and leaves his mate standing there.
Looks like Auski roadhouse ?
One of those killed Toecutter.
Stop for a chicken fillet roll at the next services in 2000km 😂😂
John Connor?
Fuck sake OP, now the T1000 is gonna know where he is!
Had a beer with a road train driver in Alice Springs once and he said the worst part of the job was kangaroos jumping out on to the road at night time.
The kangaroos are stunned by the headlights and they freeze so there is that couple of seconds where the driver realises they are going to hit them head on while the kangaroo is staring right at them but is frozen by the lights and cannot jump out of the way. Theyre similar to rabbits and deer in that regard, the lights stun them and they freeze up and cannot move.
The road train drivers are trained never to swerve or the whole train will topple over at high speed. So they have no choice but to hit them for their own safety and even then they feel the trailers behind them hopping as they go over its body. It cant be nice to see and also hoping their entire rig doesnt crash at those speeds when they hit one.
What’s the point of that? Why not split into 5 trucks? Is that only to save on driver’s salary?
I’ve shifted heavier
I’m watching this just really hoping they drive on the left in Aus too.
I’m counting 128 Tyres.
I came across a video on these yokes recently. https://youtu.be/hM3IyIizPT0
Don’t ask me why YouTube is suggesting me videos on trucking because I have no answers for you
