Very interesting Johnno. Thank you to Tez too, such a great character he is. This made me think of showing different ways of doing up chains, ropes, and straps but of course when you get the time
I have to say, that since subscribing, I'm very impressed - a lot. I'm an old Australian Army guy, still serving, and I subscribe to to two USA corn farmers, a USA hog farmer, Ward Carroll who's a former tactical fighter pilot, Spare Parts Army and a whole lot (not many, really) of other eclectic channels. My point is that if you are interesting, informative and have quality content, I don't care what your job is. I just want to relax and watch interesting experts. I'm a 4xD person, I have those channels, but diversity is a wonderful thing. Still catching up :)
That was the eazy video I have been in. Just turn up, Hold the camera, Talk some B.S. than go home. Let Johnno do all the work. 😂😂😂 I was good to see you again. Thanks for dropping in.
Nice job in the last hours of the week Tez. That is not always the case. Good to see you both in 1 clip Tez. You should do that more. Maybe include the different transports, your work and where you are, and johnno's in 1 clip. Ore a 3 shutter with Ken. Just a brain storm.
Oh yeah. I've always wanted to see what it would be like making a video with a cameraman. I also don't mind needing the camera operator for someone else. It turned out well in the end.
I liked this video johnno mate and hi to Tez.And to add Johnno mate very nice backing work onto the ramp i did it once and it took me 5 times to get the truck straight lol..
Happy New Year Johnno, I hope you had some quality time at home over the, festive holidays. Another cracking video of a true professional. I grow up around trucks,and farming. We had our own trucks when I was a child, and I started driving as soon as I was able to touch the pedals. I have had a truck license since I was, 21. As much as, I loved to drive dad wanted me to have a trade. I have had lots of experience with heavy haulage, and rear steering, module trailers, but seeing you put that, dolly on that trailer was fantastic to see. I enjoyed watching you guys doing the business, and making it look easy. It not an easy life when you are doing it in the, extreme weather, dust, monsoons, not to mention the wild life. It is no wonder you guys call us winging Pom’s! 😂 some of our boys cry if they have to go to, France. Keep on trucking, Johnno. Stay safe good buddy, and 10-10. PS the Cabover, Kenworth looks nice. Do you prefer a bonneted, or the cabover?
I much prefer my big bonnet than a cabover. It's all about the comfort. A long wheel base isn't going to throw you around over the bumps. What's wrong with going to France? I can only dream of doing something like that.
Wooow. You had a good camera man. Togheter with Tez the bear on a job. This was the best. Bisede that you did it very well to stack it up,like the bear said. And you let the air out of the bags i gues? Thanks for show this and all explenations. Thanks Tez too. Catch you on the flip side
@@RoadTrainAdventures Yes to bad but things happen. The bloks where to light to withstand the pressure of the dirt and trailer,i think. As we know you Johnno. Also show you the mistakes. While others cut them from the video. Fortunately, it is not too serious and can be repaired in a short time.
We top our empty flatbeds to send back to the UK on the ferry from Jersey. It saves on shipping costs because the ferry company charges by the metre so the top one goes for free. We don't have a ramp to top them, the trailers have twist locks and we use a flat container and the freighter forklift lifts it on top of the other trailer. Not going to lie a ramp seems a bit safer but space is limited on our tiny island 😅
Haaa the back trailer gate... my memory goes back to mid 1970's , was driving for Flemings out of Wagga Wagga , had to load an empty trailer that was in Fleet Express Car Carrier yard in Melbourne, after I got it on could see the rear gate will go back up so so trying to get it into position I lost balance and ended up down off the loading ramp onto the ground, the bloody gate followed me and landed on my ankle, could not put any weight on the foot , still drove back home over night , the pain was terrible, Doctor said nothing was broken so took a load of bulk grain down to Melbourne the next night,,
Another great video mate! That ramp angle didn't look right from even before you attempted to send it up. Hopefully not too much work for Tez to fix! 😂 I too am a "run the strap through my hands before rolling" person... not anymore now! Makes total sense, and whilst it probably doesn't save too much time... it certainly gives the feeling as though it does! haha - Nice work mate, and hope you had a great Chrissy and New Years! Cheers, Rob
Happy New Year to you Johnno, if you leave me by the ramp for a day il build il build you a High Way. lol, Have a Safe New Year on the highways and Dirt, bar the Crocs spiders snakes and John Farnham, Sorry John. Bless Chook.
very nice to have a hook integrated like that on the truck, that looks like it could move some weight here in europe all ive seen is just to move the dolly around without the trailer attached i wonder how much youre allowed to pull with that hook like that on the truck
makes sense you wouldmt want to be on the road like that trucks wouldnt be stable at all i bet but its nice to eb able to mvoe the trailers arounds the yard without decoupling more than you need to@@RoadTrainAdventures
I was going to ask how on earth you were going to stack at Kals. Didn't realise he was building a new ramp! I used to go into the Goondiwindi showgrounds to stack.
The old ramp was in a bad spot and you could barely load a tractor on it! That'll be a good ramp once he's finished it. I said for years he needs to hardstand that whole front paddock but he had oats growing and sheep there and all kinds of shit when I was there!
Hey Johnno have you ever stacked a triple I've seen them on the road always wondered if they used a crane to stack them or did it on a ramp ,was good watching you and Tez, ,was bit easier back at your depot unloading much better ramp ,so mate now I'm retired from driving was with Dyers I will be watching you for my Road fix Cheers Kym Adelaide
Road fix. Ha ha. Thanks Kym. Over in WA we might stack triples more but no we stack them the same. Actually in WA we can attack the dolly and trailer connected together which saves time too.
@@RoadTrainAdventures Yeh Johnno I've noticed the dolly still attached ,that's why I was surprised you loaded the dolly separately, different rules for each state ,stay safe Mate Kym
Ive never had to do that!!!! So thanks for showing how its done! That first ramp was a cluster f#$k, also, do you have to have permits if you stack trailers, dollies like that? Great video mate!!!
Interesting video. You don't say how long the trip was but I'm surprised it's worthwhile stacking the trailers like that. I wouldn't have thought the fuel and tyre savings were worth your time unless it was a seriously long trip. Plus it doesn't look very safe to me, you would only need a accident or two causing an injured driver for the increased workers compensation premiums to discourage the boss from making you do it.
It is worth it. As I'm an employee, the tone he pays me to stack the trailers is going to be easy less than the extra fuel they would spend dragging the trailers 1600kms on the ground.
Hi John, thanks again for this interesting video. I have a question again: Does the trailers and dollies have ABS? At minute 9:40 you show the electric plug for the connection of the prime mover with the trailer. I have seen that the plug has 7 pins. May you explain me the pin assignment? The function of this seven pins? Is there ABS included too? Because in Europe we have two electric connections, two plugs, two cables. One is for the ilumination of the trailers, the other is for controlling the ABS. Thanks heaps and stay safe mate 😀👍
@@RoadTrainAdventures Thank you for the information. But what can you do in case of an emergency breaking? I think with a triple or quad is almost impossible, right?
No. A little of the opposite. When you're loaded there is more weight holding the tyres on the ground and less likely to skid. When you're empty then you're very likely to skid into the back of something.
Gday Jonno, all the Road Trains I’ve driven had Jost Turntables and I always thought you couldn’t have a QRTT on a Road Train. Can you please confirm that for me?
Yes and no. It uses a lot less fuel dragging one trailer instead of two and a dolly. Also they say a road train is limited to do just 90km/h over a single trailer that can do 100.
Interesting how you lot donit in oz . We use a ramp too , its a bit shallower in angle than yours , sonwe dont ground belly boxes on trailers out . We stack them with doubles , triples if headboards are low enough . Even do 5 in one with 2 upside down they are craned on mainly for export to africa . How long are your trailers . Look longer than ours in uk . Ours vary from 40 , 45 foot in length . Got a few rear steer ( rear most axle of a tri axle steers ) 50 footers for trunk runs . . Too much red tape in uk for us to have combos like u lot in oz
Every ramp is built differently. Most people just build their own. This one wasn't built for trailers as they normally just use it to load a tractor which had heaps of clearance. Our trailers are all 45 foot but some are 40 foot for pulling containers only.
Damaging his ramp? If it was made properly in the first place and not made so it needs rebuilding every 10-12 trailer movements!? Anyway, some great info. I've only ever dragged around A-B and singles, truck and dog. This will be next perhaps. Slow is fast. Thinking leads to not having to "Fix" things. A lot more professional than you were making it out to be. Dropping the draw bar and ring onto the tarp to save a dint in the bosses trailer for example. Good job, "Over!" 👍👋
Why don't you back the dog trailer and dolly onto the lead trailer together and lift the a frame of the dolly and chain up? I have seen that done plenty of times before
Good vid, BUT you made one huge mistake. Every time you tighten a strap, rope, or chain, you are required by law to flick it like a guitar string and say , thats not going anywhere!
Very interesting Johnno. Thank you to Tez too, such a great character he is. This made me think of showing different ways of doing up chains, ropes, and straps but of course when you get the time
Yes it was fun. Just a pity about the damages.
That's some impressive reversing. well done.
Thanks Mark.
Well done Johnno and Tez, educational and entertaining as always.
Thanks Dean. I was afraid this video might have turned out a little more entertainment with the damages.
Excellent video, at last someone who doesn't make reversing hard work
It's all about the practice makes prefect.
@@RoadTrainAdventures it's nice to see it done properly.
👍
John I like the way you and Tez work together well done
Thanks heaps. A good team always works well together.
Nice tto see Tez on camera instead of behind it, happy new year guys
He was good at both
Seen the stacked trailers and now I know. Great video
Excellent
Great video, good to see you and Tez together. It's funny how quickly delays can spiral out of control because of minor things.
Yes but we got the job done in the end.
In an ideal world how long would it normally take?.
A Max of 2 hours but if I were to keep the dolly under the dog then one hour.
This is a good intruction video, thanks. Greatings from Holland
Thanks. It was a basic video.
Excellent work

Thanks Jeremy. For sure
Great video guys 👍🏻
Very nice. Thanks heaps
That was hard work just watching you .Well done to you both.
Thanks David. It's not usually that difficult but that ramp wasn't made for loading these kind of trailers.
Happy New Year Johnno,
I hope you had some quality time at home over the, festive holidays.
Another cracking video of a true professional.
I grow up around trucks,and farming. We had our own trucks when I was a child, and I started driving as soon as I was able to touch the pedals.

It not an easy life when you are doing it in the, extreme weather, dust, monsoons, not to mention the wild life.
It is no wonder you guys call us winging Pom’s! 😂 some of our boys cry if they have to go to, France.
Keep on trucking, Johnno. Stay safe good buddy, and 10-10.
PS the Cabover, Kenworth looks nice. Do you prefer a bonneted, or the cabover?
I much prefer my big bonnet than a cabover. It's all about the comfort. A long wheel base isn't going to throw you around over the bumps.
What's wrong with going to France? I can only dream of doing something like that.
Great stuff Johnno and Tez 🍺🇦🇺
Thanks Rick
Excellent game of trailer tetris 👍
Thanks Andrew. That's what we were going for.
Gee the loading ramp in Queensland was very ordinary Johnno when compared to the ramp in your home yard. Thanks for the video Mate 👍
Yes. They made it mainly for loading tractors which have heaps of room under the tractor.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andre.
Another great Vlog, good to see some lashing of loads and what to look out for, cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Awesome. Thanks Steven
That was entertaining and very informative. Good to see Tez, I watch his channel too. You shall now be known as "Johnno the Ramp Destroyer" haha.
Ha ha. I felt bad after that happened but I'm pretty sure Tez had fixed the ramp already.
Where's a fkn' crane when ya want one! LOL. Good show fellas!
Oh you see the sign being held up by the Fran a.
Most impressive video. Thank you.
Awesome. Thanks Ron.

Thanks Chris. I was afraid it might be more entertaining.
Nice work man. Never seen it done before. For some reason I always assumed they were craned on lol.
Only if we are lucky
Ha ha yeah I can only imagine what has to be done out in remote areas
If there is no ramp then we just have to drag all the trailers behind us.
We top our empty flatbeds to send back to the UK on the ferry from Jersey. It saves on shipping costs because the ferry company charges by the metre so the top one goes for free.
We don't have a ramp to top them, the trailers have twist locks and we use a flat container and the freighter forklift lifts it on top of the other trailer. Not going to lie a ramp seems a bit safer but space is limited on our tiny island 😅

I was going to ask how on earth you were going to stack at Kals. Didn't realise he was building a new ramp! I used to go into the Goondiwindi showgrounds to stack.
I want sure where else a ramp was so as I new Tez was just down the road I thought I would go there.
The old ramp was in a bad spot and you could barely load a tractor on it!
That'll be a good ramp once he's finished it. I said for years he needs to hardstand that whole front paddock but he had oats growing and sheep there and all kinds of shit when I was there!

No I don't need any permits to stack trailers.
Really interesting video Johnno, does the boss ever watch them?
I’m picking that’s where the comment “ that’s what the boss wants” came from 😂😂
Yes the boss sometimes waches some of them. I got that saying from when I started abs they showed me how they want me to chain down the trailers.

John are they Haulmark Trailers ? I have a soft spot for them
I'm not with them now and I don't remember what they were
@@RoadTrainAdventures They are Freighter , I had another look , sorry .
Yes I thought they might have been Freighter. We have a number of those.
What is the make/model of
your truck
I've got the Kenworth T909
I may have missed it in the beginning did you put one trailer on another to save tyres or because of regulations.
Both but mainly to save wear and tear of the tyres and fuel.
Well that went so badly you edited out bits. What did you do about the tyre rack hooking up on the concrete block?
It was bent but luckily in such a way that wasn't hard to straighten out once I got back to our Workshop.
Who's responsible for building and maintaining the ramps?
This was at a small transport company so they look after the ramp themselves.
@@RoadTrainAdventures 👍🙏☘️🇮🇪
👍👍
You guys need a little crane out there!!,
Ha ha. Yes that certainly makes it easier.
I was always far too lazy to stack the dog so I use to walk it home.
We do that sometimes but only if it's close enough.
My mate when he stacks his trailers he leaves the dolly on the pup and load them as 1 and swing the dolly arm upwards and chain it backwards
NSW coppers knock many off for that saying it puts us over length otherwise I would definitely do this too.
Copy he is in WA too I should've said that and I thought it would sit high with dolly on top of the 2 trailers
It doesn't sit high but it will over hang at the back end.
That ramp could do with a bit of maintenance to make it easier.
Yes. It wasn't made for long trailers like mine. It was made to load tractors.
Interesting video. You don't say how long the trip was but I'm surprised it's worthwhile stacking the trailers like that. I wouldn't have thought the fuel and tyre savings were worth your time unless it was a seriously long trip. Plus it doesn't look very safe to me, you would only need a accident or two causing an injured driver for the increased workers compensation premiums to discourage the boss from making you do it.

Gday Jonno, all the Road Trains I’ve driven had Jost Turntables and I always thought you couldn’t have a QRTT on a Road Train. Can you please confirm that for me?
What is that abbreviation, QRTT?
@@RoadTrainAdventures Quick release turn table
Oh. Any turntable is fine. We mostly use Holland which is great and easy to release.
That's why I hate flate beds too much time and effort waisted loading tarping and stacking trailers up that was a solid 2:30 hours gone
I still much prefer flat tops. I'd rather tarp every fifth load or so that have to open and close the sides every time you want anything from inside.
On Farms for anything that breaks or bends, blame the 'damage fairies"
Ha ha. Yes that might work.
One would think all the time and work it takes to stack trailers and unstack, you could be down the road a couple hundred miles... am I wrong?
Yes and no. It uses a lot less fuel dragging one trailer instead of two and a dolly.
Also they say a road train is limited to do just 90km/h over a single trailer that can do 100.

What brand truck do you have
We have all sorts. I don't remember what those trailers were.
Saving ya back and shoulders use reverse ratchet hand ratchets definitely better
We have those too. They are harder to use but yes they pull down harder. If I need to really pull down them I have an attachment line a lever.
👍👍🚚🚚👍👍
Thanks Alan
Why don't you back the dog trailer and dolly onto the lead trailer together and lift the a frame of the dolly and chain up? I have seen that done plenty of times before
I would have but I am going to NSW and there they knock us off for being over length.

Thanks Alan. As much as I like Cummins, I've had a good run with Detroit too.
The "ramp"... Why not built of steel... I ask me really, why ;-) only double work and dangerous, too
I've never seen a ramp made of steel anywhere. They are all like this. Just some are made better than others.
Plus steel ramps would be slippery if wet or muddy.@@RoadTrainAdventures
Well yes and no. What about the car ramps with those cut outs for grooves and the ramps on the back of trailers. Sorry to sound negative.
Why don’t you ever wear work gloves ?? 😊
I only wear them if I need to. They just make it harder to work plus when it's hot and humid, that's the last thing I want on my hands.
Good vid, BUT you made one huge mistake. Every time you tighten a strap, rope, or chain, you are required by law to flick it like a guitar string and say , thats not going anywhere!
