My first drive of a Mack Anthem. A trip from Brisbane to Sydney gave me plenty of time to become aquainted with the truck and its updated driveline. Here is a video of the drive and an interview with Volvo Australia's Matt Wood undertaken along the way. There is also a written review on Truckin with Kermie on FaceBook

Andrew ‘Jamesy’ James took delivery of a new MACK Superliner - so new that its maiden voyage was to the Alexandra Truck Show, held in the Victorian Highlands on the King’s Birthday weekend. The MACK won Best Truck Under 12 Months and came 2nd overall in Truck of the Show. The Superliner is Jamesy’s first brand new truck - and he reckons probably the last - and it joins his Kenworth K200, T950 a...

From the dawn Gathering, 300 and more trucks set off along Highway 31 - the Old Hume Highway - from Melbourne to Albury. Passing through long forgotten towns, those towns had certainly not forgotten the trucks, turning out in droves to watch the passing parade. This is ‘THE RUN’.

Before dawn they gathered, men and their machines, filling the car park of the old Ford factory at Campbellfield on the northern edge of Melbourne, and the starting point of Crawlin’ the Hume. Three hundred trucks registered - with another hundred or so expected to join in along the way - and from all over they came, the Victorian ‘locals’ being joined by trucks from around the country.

Переглядів 3,3 тис.4 місяці тому
On this year’s Crawlin the Hume I found an old - very old - GoPro. Not even a GoPro, but a cheap copy thereof. Figured I may as well attach it to the rear window of my car and let it run. I knew that the footage wouldn’t be great and after reviewing decided that it shouldn’t be used in my final video (which I’m still editing). However, waste not, want not: there’s some nice footage in here - al...

Rosco joined a contingent of three to bring his Mack Superliner from Tasmania to the mainland, to attend the Mack Muster at Kyabram, Victoria. Proving that age is no barrier, 89 year old Rosco rebuilt his pride and joy from the ground up. Check out his paintwork of this superb example - done outdoors because his good lady wife has drawn a line at having another shed.

New truck means nothing if the suspension is not tuned up. And all the leveling valves are replaced with new ones.
Darryl is bloody awesome! I’m one of those 23K followers…
Show stopper ❤
Fantastic truck - like all of the Cornwill's gear.
First time up the Hume would have been in 1962 with folks in am FJ. Then in 1969 with about half a dozen of us in a clapped out HD to see Hair the musical in Sydney. My mother and her brother and sister did it in the 1920s in an Austin 7!
My first trip was in '72 as a 20yo. It was ordinary then. Can only imagine what the 1920's must have been like.
Beautiful video mate appreciate your work 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😃
American here, I met him at the 2024 Mid American Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky with his son he was a laid back man we talked about his first show “Mega Truckers” when he had the original HAA and he did say he was back to having a fleet of trucks. I had a great few minutes with him when we talked. Great time
👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺👌👌Mack
What a weapon, fantastic looking truck and a matching trailer set up well. Livin the dream there
👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👌
Why was rodney edited out he was in the new FEDC cattle truck after the first FEDC log truck
Certainly not intentional, Zane. I don't remember editing anything out of the convoy. Could be I was repositioning the camera.
@@truckinwithkermie2755 I wasn’t being mean I was being like aww rod dog isn’t there you know sorry if you took it a different way
Hey, no. I didn't for a moment think you were miffed, mate. Just wish I'd managed to get everybody. 😊@@ZaneMartin710

Auto with car exhaust pipe 😅
Thats a fantastic looking truck..top job..👍
Thanks for the video, Kermie. This is a great bit of gear and has given me a few ideas for mine. My prediction with Andrew is after he's put a few miles on this, he will never want to sit in any of his other trucks again. These things are that good.
Cheers mate 😃
They have a few episodes on channel 7!
@@fedvoxavoxa yep, with more coming apparently
Wouldn’t you prefer to have an 18speed? I’m so impressed by Mack’s numbers. Most powerful engines in conventional trucks ever on paper. I’m curious to see how they go in our harsh Aussie conditions
These trucks take away all of the skills that we where tought when we were young and could drive cameras and sensors everywhere in my opinion they’re fucken junk 🖕🏻💩🐪
Lose the bonnet mirrors,, optional?.
@@ghostrider9978 yep.
@@truckinwithkermie2755 cool ,, always enjoy your content mate 👍
Cheers for that, mate 😊@@ghostrider9978
What i would like to know is are the Anthem giving a better ride than the Tridents , i have been told by Mack that they have done some work on the Anthem to improve the ride , may need to get on some victorian roads too find out , thanks Kermie 👍
@gregfarnsworth5011 Hi Greg. I found the ride terrific on the run from Brissie to Sydney. Vic roads aren't any worse that NSW's I reckon. Both crap! Rhoda thought Qld could do it better lol
Gotta be a MACK KERMIE
😅. Love all trucks mate. 😃
MACK KERMIE... makes me sound Scottish. 😂
Sweet
Very well presented credit to the company👍👍👍
I had a poster on my bedroom wall of this old girl when i was young over 35 years ago. Trucking life magazine
cool rigs
Another example of a dedicated team.credit to all involved. TNT u say is where you got the idea for the name on the sar. TNT was also known as Trash N Treasure. You must have the treasure part of that mate.
Good onya mate the trucks are a credit to you and your company. I wonder if you still have the bicentennial t650 with the gas conversion on it. Lol it was a good banger.good luck to ya mate

Kenworth t909
@redoanahmad2016 umm, what about the T909? The boys don't own one.????
The t909 is my favorite truck. If I lived in America or Australia I would definitely try to have a truck like this
@redoanahmad2016 ,oh, I see. The boys do have a T909 which is amongst the most awarded trucks in Australia.
That should read T908, not 9. 😀
Cool share from Joe Hupp ❤
His 950 is one of my fave 950s getting around, also had no idea the Green Argosy is owned by him, I seen it once about 2 years back and couldn't figure out whos it was.
Thanks for sharing well done
Thankyou 😃
Great to see the mag back. Do you have any pics or imformation on a truck called Cranky Frank owend by Ian Wadell out of Lithgo nsw. Thanks heaps.
Looking super Staunch coming through the main street.
Incredible truck right there! It was even getting Kermie tripping over himself trying to decribe it! Cheers
Haha. Should run a competition as to how many times I said, "This is a beautiful truck!" 🤣🤣
@@truckinwithkermie2755 c'mon, mate! I believe I lost count at 10!
Top job
cool dog
Beautiful mack , look forward to seeing it when he comes to kyneton
White Cabover behind him is beautiful.
Looks more like a Kenworth show . Than a real truck show.
Well Dave, this video is about a particular KW, not a truck show. That said, you'll find that most truck shows - certainly the ones I attend (apart from ATHS) - are top heavy with the Kenworth brand.
Some great looking rigs there, big thumbs up to all the drivers who brought their trucks. I know how much effort they put in ontop of their normal work as the big Scania wrecker was on a job the day before he made the trek from Canberra.
Thanks 👍
I remember seeing those boys at alexandra truck show with the old cabover they brought off kevin goss, and how bloody nice they did it up. They had black hair back then too lol
Hi David. I didn't realise it was Gossy's old truck. You'll see 'The Penthouse', as they call it, again - probably next year. Rick has stripped it back, nut and bolt. Reckon there may be a few more awards to come. Cheers for your message. 😀
S.a.r...shit above rubber
Good one Kermie
Thanks Ron 😊
grouse those FLB's
Really enjoy your videos mate! Watching from NZ
Thanks mate. Appreciate it. 😀
Gotta get my best mate glen onto that wall, been a year today since we lost him 🥲
There's no charge for the plaques. Contact details are in the comments

Always liked these trucks when I see them on the road or when I pass their yard in Coffs. Really enjoyed this video
Thanks Mark. 😊
