Just thought I would add that another channel I watch does the voice overs whilst driving might give you some ideas since you can’t talk whilst driving now. It’s called @justcruisin with Mick and Sally
So nice to tag along again. Glad you have sorted things out with Don Watson, to be honest there were a few things I noticed and wondered how you got away with, PPE etc. I've retired ñow and it's good to see and listen to the next generation. Best of the best to you my friend.
Love watching your videos mate I grew up in trucks my dad been driving interstate for over 40yrs I never ended up doing it but love trucks .will keep watching 100%👍
@@crossfamilytrucking yeh mate sure is he done ist 20 yrs carting livestock mainly cattle yeh he's been around alright. Hope u can keep on trucking and filming it's good .I like u and the homeless truckie are the best my brother ❤
Great to see your vids n reviews on food, it was pretty cool to see you heading through Nabiac, I work at the caravan yard there n live in Taree, if you ever need a sparky, hit us up, keep up the good work 🤙🤙
Good show mate i carry a small pocketknife or a small flat blade screwdriver will work to , On your trailer plugs i spread the male pins just a bit with blade of the knife it usually stops the lights from playing up keep up the good work cheers
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, particularly the extended driving sequences. It provided some good humor and offered a glimpse into your personality. Whenever I spot a Don Watson B-double around the southern Gold Coast, I can't help but wonder if it's you.
I still remember the old fashioned cafes at the servos. I miss the "mixed grill" ... I so HATE the stuff they serve these days - nothing but fast food chains! UGH So I tend to head to the pre-made sandwich section or even the coffee section that seems to be run by the servos themselves. Ballina is close to my home. I remember when they finally finished the station and the M1 diversion. That station is always so busy! Great Video. Thanks
Anything is way better than a Mc Donalds burger mate. Much prefer a fish shop or roadhouse burger with real chips not those horrible string things. Next choice would be a Hungry Jacks Whopper but they are now heading down the Macca's road for some reason. Sandwich choice for me would be a Roast Pork Bahn Mi roll with a Vietnamese Coffee or a Subway with a large flat white. Cheers Eric
I enjoyed the rolling countryside with no voice and the locations printed on the screen. Last time we came home from Brisbane we went thru warrack and stopped at that same Bp at aratula. Enjoying the new format, dunno about the food reviews go, but early days. Keep the shiny side up.👍
thought I recognized the face and voice, I used to work for the transport company that you delivered windows for a few years ago, glad to see you're doing well
@@crossfamilytrucking Im Jack, I worked with you for a bit on my first week, we had some good chats and delivered a bunch of windows to the wrong bloody house haha. I mostly worked with josh who got me the job, was only there for 2 months before leaving for WA
Another good video mate. The new style is still bloody awesome . I’ve seen a few donwatson b double cab overs on the m7 down here in nsw and I thought I wonder you are driving it . Keep up the good work mate
Loving the content mate , seen the news about your fellow worker my he rest in peace ,my heart dropped thought it could be you , safe trucking mate keep up the great content .
Loving the food review 😂 can there be more voice over on footage, maybe about the towns you visit ,conditions of the roads you travel maybe more on the different trucks you drive. Loving your channel brother and format 👍🏿
Looks way more bouncy than the bigcab. Dont forget when the road is full of trucks it makes for good footage, day or night, when you all get together rolling along thats some easy footage for you no chat required. Lots dont see that unless on the highways.
Loving this as always! Shame about the lost SD card but just an excuse to get more footage!! Makes me want to go get my MC! love it. Assume you'll take the small cab back to Melb and swap back into your Fat cab??
Love to see you travelling through my hometown of Stanthorpe. Just one thing where you had Applethorpe on the screen you were actually at Dalveen. But still great vlogs.😊
Hi new sub, I think there is a button box that you can switch to differant cameras if you have more than one. Im retiered OTR driver x UK now AUS since 1976 semis pluss Interstate coach work, live in Adl SA. Great work with the vlog.
Cool food review mate.. “Cooked in diabetes”is the best I’ve heard bro,crack up.. I noticed Nabiac come up on you’re north bound trip to Brisbane,there’s a butcher/cafe it’s pricey but the slow cooked beef pie 👌🏽butcher has wagyu steak and other meats and plenty of room to park a bdouble.. The company I drive for deliver containers with nutrients mix for their wagyu beef stock.. Awesome content 🤙
I was originally here because i was interested in the whole trucking thing, but now if i don't get a truckbang I'll be upset.... It might not be anywhere near a bangbus but I'm ready!! hahaha
Hey mate awesome vlog If your ever passing through bulahdelah on the coast road they do awesome food there at the BP Not a shout out to them or sponsored lol Just had good food there and see alot of truckies pull in on there way north and south Have a good weekend mate Keep up the fantastic work 😊
Another great video, just one tip try and keep the camera steady I’m getting crook watching the footage waving all over the place , love the content though 👍
I had to drop the big cab I was borrowing off in Sydney old mate and grab the small cab I’m heading to Melbourne tonight though and I’m going down the newell will be in Wednesdays upload 👍
How do you deal with wind on highways driving a b-double? I’ve heard from an old associate that you actually need speed to stop it from swaying instead of slowing down?
Yeah it’s a funny the mate it’s scary empty but keep it moving does help keep the truck steady definitely had some white knuckle moments with the wind 👍
I loved the road ranger box but the eaten me alive gearbox owned me nearly every time haha. The UK do have a truck load of cabovers but the poor USA have pretty much banned them! go figger.
Oliver's are a massive rip off, I only ate there once and I'll never go back lol. Oporto's are usually pretty good if you stop anywhere that has one, especially if you like chicken.
I’m not gonna fake anything brother 👍 I want people to see what life is really like on the road(at least for me anyway) dust in all the cracks clothes and blankets everywhere real life
Hahaha oh man. Food critique 101; try it before reviewing. Don't let a few latte sipping laptop elitists make you feel outcast - they would do well to appreciate the effort the real world undertakes on their behalf
Mr Cross I don't think there is any difference from having someone in the cab, or someone on the 2way, or a phone call if your not holding the fone!! So to talk to a camera is a bit BS, I talk to myself all the time when I'm on the road!! Just sayin mate, love your work!
Try widening the prongs in the centre of the plug with a Phillips head usually helps the connection
That’s the funniest food review I’ve watched. Can’t wait for the next one. Keep up the good work mate
😂 thanks mate glad you enjoyed it 👍
Just thought I would add that another channel I watch does the voice overs whilst driving might give you some ideas since you can’t talk whilst driving now.

In where the McDonalds is are the drivers showers and there is a restaurant in there too, they do steaks and roast meals and everything
That restaurant is long gone mate 👍
@@crossfamilytrucking fair enough, I suppose it's been a few years since I've been down that far

You gotta wonder sometimes hey 🤷♂️

Cool food review mate..
“Cooked in diabetes”is the best I’ve heard bro,crack up..
I noticed Nabiac come up on you’re north bound trip to Brisbane,there’s a butcher/cafe it’s pricey but the slow cooked beef pie 👌🏽butcher has wagyu steak and other meats and plenty of room to park a bdouble..
The company I drive for deliver containers with nutrients mix for their wagyu beef stock..
Awesome content 🤙
I reckon I’ll have to check that out brother hard to find a good pie here 🤷♂️ sounds awesome
ayyyyy, POV shots! 🎉
Awwww nice son .... ur right, best relish ever ... 😢
Hahaha, they're cooked in diabetes, you'lll be fighting off sponsorship dollars from Macca's 😂
Oliver’s at twin servos is for all the city Fock that ventre past the valley in Brisbane n Newtown in Sydney lol
Hey bud. Love the videos. Saw a Don Watson truck off the road today and sadly the driver was killed. Are you ok brother?
Yeah mate I’m home safe 👍
Bring on days when the 38 benzs where around, then you would have something watch ......
Another good one mate , Burger looked ok but what was the chips all about. 👍
Cheers mate 👍😂
I was originally here because i was interested in the whole trucking thing, but now if i don't get a truckbang I'll be upset.... It might not be anywhere near a bangbus but I'm ready!! hahaha
😂 alright mate! Genuine question would you rather, the food stuff, see them as seperate videos or did you like it a part of the vlog?
Awesome brother loving the vlogs...Another trucker from NZ churr ma bro
Thanks brother 👍 one day I wanna come home and drive
Mate great vlog as always
Cheers mate 👍🚚
Hey mate awesome vlog

Just had good food there and see alot of truckies pull in on there way north and south
Have a good weekend mate
Keep up the fantastic work 😊
I didn’t even know there was a bp there mate will check it out thanks for that 👍
Another great video, just one tip try and keep the camera steady I’m getting crook watching the footage waving all over the place , love the content though 👍
Cheers mate noted 👍
Bend the middle plug that might sort the problem out
Hey mate are you ok I hurd a Don Watson's double went over
Yeah mate I’m all good 👍
@Cross Family Trucking glad your ok sad the driver lost his life
Why do you run down the coast and not down the newell?
I had to drop the big cab I was borrowing off in Sydney old mate and grab the small cab I’m heading to Melbourne tonight though and I’m going down the newell will be in Wednesdays upload 👍

Yeah it’s a funny the mate it’s scary empty but keep it moving does help keep the truck steady definitely had some white knuckle moments with the wind 👍
Mate, I hope you are safe. I saw the accident at Brunswick Heads and was worried for you and the family.
Nah mate all good 👍
I loved the road ranger box but the eaten me alive gearbox owned me nearly every time haha. The UK do have a truck load of cabovers but the poor USA have pretty much banned them! go figger.
Hey mate we live in Inverell, if you ever need anything out this way let us know , I’m also a heavy vehicle mechanic 🍺👍
Cheers Paul will save this comment 👍
Hey mate, do you get paid to load unload. And what's the klms rates,
Trip rate mate and yep paid loading and unloading 👍
Come do a food review in one of peterbilts 389 maybe 🙃
I would love to mate or are you just trying to let everyone know you drive a peterbuilt? 🤷♂️
How do you know what gear u in
Just practice mate for the first couple weeks I drove a stick I was basically just throwing the gear stick and hoping it landed in the right gear haha
@@crossfamilytrucking oh ok how far does the truck business go to
Wondering how much work it be for a American truck driver to transfer US CDL to be legal to drive in Australia?
Not sure mate I think it would depend on visa 👍
What was your first job?
My first job was a kitchen hand in raby bay mate 🤷♂️
What fuel do the trailers use?
Diesel mate 👍
Love your videos mate. Just one thing, it's spelled Hemmant with 2 M's. Couldn't help myself grammar nazi 😅
How embarrassing 😂 I’ve been spelling it with one m for bloody ages haha
Ever feel like you are still driving when you try to sleep after your trip is done???
Yeah definitely 😂 if I’m asleep on the side of the road sometimes I shoot out of the bed thinking I went to sleep while the truck was moving
Can you review a big steak at a roadhouse lol
If I can find one I will mate 👍
Hahahaha fkn best food review😂😂😂
😂😂
Try a bacon and egg from there 😂
Alright will do 👍
Good too see u drive a stick lol auto are good but nothing like driving
For sure mate 1
Glad it wasn’t you bro, if you know what I’m talking about, stay safe out there 🤙
Yeah you too bro 👍
Eat it, then whinge about it 😂
Maybe I should start calling them food whinges hey old mate 😂
Oliver's are a massive rip off, I only ate there once and I'll never go back lol. Oporto's are usually pretty good if you stop anywhere that has one, especially if you like chicken.
Bro ya need to keep your cab clean!
Not good, for company, for your viewers!
I’m not gonna fake anything brother 👍 I want people to see what life is really like on the road(at least for me anyway) dust in all the cracks clothes and blankets everywhere real life
I’ve done interstate for years, always kept my gear spec and span! Thats your office.
Ol school Truckies know this.
Tells a lot about an individual.
👍
"I really don't like the chips" (keeps eating chips). ROFL.
Yeah im not gonna waste 22$ chips mate even if they are gross 😂
McDonalds sucks but i rate it in Switzerland where it's much higher quality!
Olivers will complain to your boss, you’ll be told no food reviews next 🤦♂️
Everything I do can be used against me mate I would rather try and fail 👍
Olivers, I'll be back in one day... when I'm a fuckin millionaire.
$22 for a burger. Could feed me family for 2 days on that. Christ.
22 dollars for that,tell em their dreaming
Crack up son ....
Thanks mum
Hahaha oh man. Food critique 101; try it before reviewing.
Don't let a few latte sipping laptop elitists make you feel outcast - they would do well to appreciate the effort the real world undertakes on their behalf
$22!!! Mate what a piss take.
Completely first and last old mate 👍
