    your second load check pulling onto the hard/soft shoulder with the truck still on the road and double white lines and a bend just ahead of you on video - what were you thinking 🤔 imagine if a tanker/livestock truck came around that bend at you with someone having to cross those double lines to get around ;;;; thats what designated parking bays are for ;; maybe you can get away with doing that in your world ;not in our country;im more concerned about the old western star ; this comment is not meant to be a piss take road safety is essential at every level and you as a professional driver it should be at the top of your list-ive worked with drivers that were sacked over simple brain fades like that cheers

      I think that was hanky heads old Bedford. He was the brain damaged plumber in town & it used to have a sullage tank on the back where he pumped out septic tanks. There was a music festival once at Cambrey Siding & they needed freshwater for drinking, so old hanky head took the turd truck out there full of water & delivered a load of drinking water. Everyone who drank it got dysentery. 😜😂😂 Lived in Nannup, 87-2005, had a timber business in light industrial area next to the cemetery across road from the Nannup Timber Mill. Don’t know if Ernie Gizza & Nola Gail’s still work there in the mill office? Used to drive a school bus there for a few years, & was first on scene of a fatal accident on Graphite road between Nannup & Manjimup. Poor lady picked up her daughter from Mt Barker Agricultural college & was driving her to their holiday home in Margaret river. Graphite road wasn’t sealed back then. I picked up her daughter hobbling down the road with a broken ankle trying to get help for her mum. It was a Thursday before Easter. Woman was from Cottesloe from memory. Always wondered what became of the daughter. Their Toyota Tarago hit a wet soak in the middle of the road on a bend, and started to slide. Wind whistling up the valley went through a gap in the trees & hit the side of the Tarago in its slide & pushed it around more & she lost control & hit a tree sideways behind the drivers B pillar. It broke her neck & she died instantly. It wasn’t a pretty sight to see, especially with her daughter plus a dozen school kids still on the bus. Local Farmer Greg Millar lived nearby and came across the scene & took the daughter back to their farm to lie down with her broken ankle while waiting on the ambulance & local fire crew to cut the mum free from the wreck. Not the sort of thing you ever forget. It was probably ~1997 or 98 maybe. I lobbied with Manji Politician Paul Omodei to get Graphite road sealed as a result. Lot of memories of Nannup, some (but not all) of them fond ones. Never been back since we left in 2005. Enjoyed your video, brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.

And if you didn't know, here in WA, if you don't work more than 60 hours a week, don't work more than 10 hours a day (more than once a week) and don't work between midnight and 5am (more than once a week) then you are not classed as a commercial vehicle driver for fatigue management purposes and don't have to adhere to any fatigue breaks and don't even need a commercial vehicle drivers medical. However, if you do more than those minimum hours and are classed as a commercial vehicle driver, then your minimum 20 minute break every 5 hours is only a 20 minute break from driving. Surprisingly, its perfectly legal in WA to be doing other work such as loading or unloading during your 20 minute break. Fact sheet - Driving commercial vehicles - Commerce WA.

    Multidrop work is not for the faint of heart, personally i must admit i cant do it, done some home delivery with 7.5 tonne and apart from the bs "which room do you want it delivered in" and assembly of crap furniture and such it wasnt too bad as long as you're out of London, stoped doing it cause to me a delivery is a delivery not for me to be there with my ass sticking up trying to assemble their crap, but Bidvest and others similar .. jesus fkn Christ never again, i can deadlift nearly 250kg but 13 hours of picking up medium heavy boxes kills me completely, up and down stairs as every restaurant in London has their kitchen downstairs and occasionally upstairs, plus all the closed streets in London, respect to the guys that do that crap for years, i couldn't do it more than 3 days, also im heavy at 115kg definitely not built to go up and down stairs all night long. PS - and lets not forget how much i hate tail lifts ... once fell between a tail lift and the truck and my leg got wedged, not only am i heavy but i had a box with something frozen in it that weighted around 20kg, literally had to stop working right there, abandoned everything and if i had a fully functional brain i would have gone to a hospital but just took a train home, lol, god i hate these class 2 multi drop jobs, never again. In all fairness this one seems to be very simple and straightforward, not much bs and no heavy lifting, maybe you got lucky this day but from what you said it seems to be business as usual so not bad at all.
