Dave, it really wasn't that good, it was friggin' hard yakka, Sydney load, Melbourne unload, load again Back to Sydney unload, non stop, no sleep, then off to Adelaide and back to Sydney and at least one, usually 2 trips to Melbourne and back in one week.
A trip to Brisbane was like a holiday, cause it could take a few days to get a load back home, so a chance to service the truck and get some sleep.
Then there were the **** roads, Nazi RTA inspectors and "just got out of the wrong side of the bed" Cops, **** rates, unbelievable time deadlines, not the good old days for sure, at least for Owner Drivers, Regards Frank.

The upside was no speed limiters.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

One of my favourite films and anyone been on a trip with us may or may not have heard the song on departure.

Subscriberyes, I agree, but I noticed watching the movie that there is a few variants of the song. I wouldn't mind getting hold of the whole soundtrack.
