Original subtitles

This time on Outback Truckers.

Getting all sorts of additional reports about the ride,

the ride's pretty cooking places.

When you come out of here,

the bikes are either plopped out the window.

Oh shit.

We've got a five minute ride in front of us,

we're off the street dust,

and that's where we're accidents happen.

Shit.

About... Expensive. That's 3.4 mil. Yeah, that looks like it was the worst of it. Shit. The boat is expensive.

That's 3.5 nL.

It looks like it was the worst of it.

You're a truck driver, it's going to run down here.

Shit.

Got to make it a little bit of time.

Dicky, it's putting their trailers.

Really shit, so long.

Yeah, yeah.

The place is forced to pass a really limited.

Got him.

Got him.

Got him.

I don't need to do it.

Shit. He's a hole there.

We've got a fire up here, got a little

bit, and a big concern,

could wear that fire is.

It's not that far off the road.

It's got a bit of ferocity to it.

We don't want to be end up on a fire.

And then you don't got nowhere to turn around.

You stuck there.

Consequences are deadly.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Now this ride goes around south east.

So yeah, we're going to clear this bottom of the race.

Rex Riles is racing the clock on a mission

to get through Australia's desolate red center

for a critical deadline.

Yeah, I'm going to keep people going.

I wonder where I am when I'm getting back,

he has just two days to complete more than 1,500 demands.

to get back to his hometown for the biggest

event of the year, the Laivitan Cup.

We're going to get the track cleaned up and

get the water on the track.

I'm not sure that we'll have no problem with running service.

This Laivitan rice is pretty important in the community.

Compared to what we get back on top.

Getting close to Alice Springs now, scaring over the

James Law over past.

We've picked up some tippers with audit while back

and we've taken them down to the Lavitson.

Starting in Darwin,

Rex has already travelled almost 1500 kilometres to Alice Springs.

Now he's heading west towards Uluru and the notoriously

rough dirt of the great central road to get

where he'll use his brand new tip of trailers

worth $150 ,000 each for his cartage business.

It has its eyes and nose, it's like any business.

There are a lot of pressures.

We don't feel costs.

And wait,

just... Well, right now, there is less than his eye weight.

He.

Cut out past A's rock.

And we've got now corner on the left hand side.

They'll have been out the bush.

And I enjoy driving the ebac girl.

Rex's big girl is a rare Texas built Marmon

truck on its third engine,

a 550 horsepower, 15.6 liter diesel.

The Marmon is a's a 9-95 truck and

it doesn't only open in case.

Just the bad comedy in the cut springs there

gets a kill and pop up never cold beer.

Thought I'd do it.

Little car guys, you see?

It's a drive on a T-fast that does

a lot of damage.

We're starting to break through the trailers.

Trying to reach the road,

try and dodge the really bad spots.

Delimit them and add a damage you do.

That's the trick.

It takes you a bit more time to get

from point A to point B.

We're still at full day today and the day

tomorrow and we're gonna get it done.

Trying

for a large time later.

But don't get back there in time, I'm not

gonna leave this shit.

I think I have a wander around and just

see what the things are doing.

I think everything's sitting all right.

It's better.

Will Barron's colds, but it just like warm.

Come on.

Get a loop.

OK.

Well, that's not going to help.

That's not good.

It's not good at all. What's happening is, China has broken the landing leg away from the strut.

And this was prop in the trailer up.

So it's a free wheeling.

If it falls over, it'll take this trailer with it.

All right.

I'm about ready to get this show on the road.

I think this job is part of a serious

setup to keep some communities going through the wet season.

What it is is an oversized fuel tank that's

going into a little community called Ringers soak out

the back of Halls Creek.

Legendary 73 year old trucker Steve Graham has a

massive oversized load to deliver to a remote community

in the tropical north west of Australia.

These people know you weren't around low on fuel last year.

You know, they've got to keep bridges andidges running

like any other little town.

These tanks got to get there and set them

up for a wet season.

Once the wet comes in properly, they're isolated.

They need their 84,000 litres of diesel on the ground,

keeping their gen sets going.

So we've got no choice. We've got to do the job now.

The wet's coming.

Up.

Yeah.

I'm here to bring a soak out of the whole street.

And to get to bring a soak, I've got to go out the Duncan Road.

From his base in Perth, Steve will like the tank almost 3,000 kilometres along the way.

turning off at Halls Creek onto the rugged dirt

of the brutal

their fuel tanks.

You have to meet with this crane at the

end of the Tanamaru.

The crane is being used to install identical fuel

tanks in two other remote communities in the Tannamide

Desert just before Steve arrives.

They come back out of the Tannamide road,

meet me and we go out the Duncan Road

the other way out the Maccaball Street and unload me.

So it's all got to go like clockwork because

that big crane costs big bucks.

5.5 downbound.

Right up there, thank you.

We've got one five and a half meter oversized

load coming down the hill on 3.5 wide.

The good news is I'll pass you on the

three lane here and we won't have to get

off the road for you.

Now that is one big bulldozer.

Today is Superside Saturday.

They don't want the Superside stuff to create chaos

during the working week when everyone is trying to

make a dollar.

I can hear a bit of radio chatter going on.

It might be a Superside load in front of me.

See, I can't understand this one.

I'm not talking, I'm trying to work out what

they're saying with that radio chatter.

Communications key, I guess.

It must be northbound, travelling the same direction as me.

They're big.

They're really wide.

There must be nine metres I reckon.

With leaving a little bit oversized and then being

a giant bit oversized the places for us to

pass are really limited.

I can be stuck behind them for 100 kilometres.

What are they doing?

I'm sorry,

I'm down to stand here.

I'll do it and I'm quick.

It's gonna be tight.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Don't know who the company is,

but you're out in the following way.

Shit, there's a hole there.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

We get a better idea once we pull up to back in.

Yeah.

And anyway, a bit of time if we do need moving in,

we'll do that.

We'll take it up.

House Hall of Jack McCray is about to set

sail on a high-stakes job with a difference.

The boat is custom boat here.

We have 3.5miles for this one.

We have about 15 tons, 8.5meters wide,

16 long.

This is the Q55.

We've had him around once we get down the

other end as long as these guys can do

the trip safely and not hit anything, then it

will be a way.

How's this easier?

Boats look a lot more stressed.

From the manufacturers in Coulomb Beach, Jack must weave

the $3.5million boat through narrow streets to the M1.

Then push on down the highway, avoiding low bridges and

guardrails before squeezing it through tight city streets to

unload on the Brisbane River.

The supersized load requires a police escort paid by the hour.

Any delays will cost Jack's company money.

So yeah, it's not a cheap exhaust.

Keep coming,

Corey. Corey in the truck at the moment.

Someone with the phone with him.

And then we'll just keep Jiggell and Adonis like

this just so we don't get any

The trailer is fully hydraulic so lowest we can

go is 900dc up to 2.7.

The $1.2million lift trailer has independent steering

on each axle and is also able to catapillar

using a hydraulic ram mounted on the truck.

We've got a remote from our trailer and then

another remote from the ram on the truck to

that's how we jig a little in the north and slowly.

Did it load it properly?

Safe, went about down into no damage.

Got nice and easy.

Keep pushing that front over.

Just turn,

has it got anything on the dash?

Just f**king rev the f**k out of it.

The truck's f***ing not built up here enough to

put the end to gear but the old ocean

need to hear the gearbox and with no air

but, but no gears, so I can't move.

It's gonna be tight.

Shit, there's a hole there.

Thanks,

fellas. They called me around.

There's a big dip in the road.

We've got to give each other space but they're

all talking about other stuff.

If it's situation like that you just want clear direction.

Normally it's a lot more professional than that.

We've got this oversized field tank.

It's going to remote community at the back of all's creek.

And on on a tight time schedule to link

up with the crane.

I've got the last tank for ringer soak and

I had to make with that crane on time

or it costs big money and big embarrassed

Stressful but that's my job.

If I can hear on the wireless, there's two

8metres heading north.

Yeah, 3.5 litres.

As the day goes along we will catch up

with the ones that left early Saturday morning.

The bit of luck these pilots are a bit

more clear to understand.

That is a serious piece of machinery that's all

going up there to cut iron ore I suppose.

Thanks,

Jens. You know how I read all that.

It's how it's done.

Nice clear communications.

Everyone understands what's going on.

Oh shit,

yeah mate, you're talking to the oversized with a tank on.

Yeah, right on mate, yeah but got it.

That's the bloody scale east.

That's main roads inspectors and they're just asking me

to pull into the road train area so to

quote, like an inspect by Fairbidze.

I think all my stuff's in order but it's nerve-racking.

You just never know.

I'm sweating it now.

So many times in my life I've come out

badly out of these things.

It's not good.

It's not good at all.

What's happening is the chain is broken the landing

leg away from the strut.

So it's free wheeling.

So what we're going to do is we're going

to strap that to that to pull that back

in the way it should be.

The landing leg falls over and takes this trailer with it.

Rex Riles is under the pump,

hustling to get back to his hometown,

Leverton, to prepare the horse racing track for their

for

their

only

race

of

the

year.

But

although

it's

free

to

drive,

the

brutal

great

central

road

is

still

taking

its

toll.

- I'm

curious

if

I'll

get

back

on

time.

- There

are

you.

- No,

not

this

way.

- No,

not

this

way.

Pretty

quick.

So,

all

right,

take

care.

- Oh,

best.

Thank

you.

- People

just

sort

of

look

out

for

each

other.

Does

any

problems?

You're a long way out.

You're pretty isolated.

And along one way from the flying doctor also,

you imagine flying doctor trying to land on these

roads is not going to happen.

It's a bit of a common courtesy out here

guys a long way.

And that's a little part of the help that way.

Well that's cross chain.

It's back.

That's coming this way.

So that's basically, it should not move.

But we'll just keep an eye on it.

Check it every year.

Right on the road.

Try out some of the traveling like that.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

This is the Transform WI saw in there and

they're lifting up're now in officially in the WI.

A long way from now on yet.

It's going to be a bit rolling,

also quite.

And I'm not sure you're ready for tomorrow.

It's round 105, Cased today to get home.

Hopefully being there before 4-5 depends on the

recognitions of the road of course.

Getting all sorts of different reports about the ride, the ride's pretty crooked places.

That's a massive amount of rides out of you earlier in the year.

It's done a lot of damage.

It gets worse as it goes further on.

It's pretty rough like this.

Bit of a plan in your head, bit of an idea what you're going to know. Everything, you know, here's a bit of a plan in your head, a bit of an idea what you're going to know, but everything, you know, here's subject to change, with it for a minute.

When you come out here, most of these are walking out the wheel.

That's a f***ing save.

This lawn's not shit.

It's not ripping your ties.

Where it's going to miss the livin' races.

There's nothing ever to be.

There's nothing to happen.

Hey, yeah, we can't even move this [BLEEP] truck now.

I'll see you soon.

The waiting on the delay caused by the breakdown

of his truck,

while under pressure to shift a $3.5million catamaran.

So I got an ear leak and it's dropping

out of gear so I can't move.

Laying some mechanics close by.

A lot of everyone's under there so could just

be a broken one so they can get a popped off.

[MUSIC]

Boy, it ain't gonna be a mechanic.

[MUSIC]

Oh, that's really.

[MUSIC]

That's just fixed.

Looks like it, so back around there, picking up.

[MUSIC]

Just riding up.

[MUSIC]

This is the crucial bit getting it out of the factory without any scratches or bumps. which is all punks. I'm not really sure how to get out the doors. I definitely made them as big as I could.

That's right, not great.

They're tight.

I'm going to have a two-query,

which is pretty straightforward in turn.

I'll lift the whole trailer up,

and straight over these ball-arts here.

It's cheaper place than one of our line-arts,

and I'll tell you now.

Nice and easy.

That's all I've got over.

She's out one piece. Siding bit tight.

Got it out.

Time begins tonight.

This game ready to move this catamaran.

It's the first time I've been back into talking

about six years.

So let's see if I remember what to do.

Jack's co-driver for the journey is Ashley McCoy,

part of the family that owns McCoy and sons.

I moved up North for the last six years

of in Coltrane.

Run from the family business but you can't hide

so here I am.

Actually has been tasked with helping Jack buy their

company's boss her brother Robbie She's Robbie's sister so

she gets easy jobs and doesn't do much Right

let's go Don't brush me any trees on that one.

It's going to be a slow run to the highway.

There's a sign there, so you're through.

Probably not having anything with the boat.

It's a $3.5million boat, so we don't

want to rush a tweak with it.

There'd be a big tax deduction from Jack's pay,

is what it would be.

Hey Corey, watch that tell, something on that saw in there.

Shit!

It's choppy at the moment

I'm pulling up a bit in here. Just to try.

Reset what I'm doing

Very set.

What am I going to do on it?

Rectrials is racing the clock.

Dessert to get his valuable tipper trailer.

you will tip a trailer back home with enough time to prepare the local race course for

the labors in Cunham.

Don't try and be a labors today.

No, later.

There's a fire made on there in front of you, mate.

Oh shit.

We've got a fire made on the labors in front of us.

These guys are pretty slow.

Just see if we can get some conversation down maybe

we can get around him. There's a bit of an hanging out there.

It's going to keep talking with each other.

This communication is okay.

You heard it.

I got a leg.

I got a leg.

All right.

I'm starting to build the upper bit.

I can't pass.

I can go a little bit quicker than them.

Yeah, right about coming around there.

Yeah, so what's it through you?

Try and point them blowouts and stuff like that.

(gunfire)

(gunfire)

(gunfire)

Everyone's happy, killed down.

All of a sudden it's like

a past

and I'm trying to keep the dust out of these fights

to the front cans of this grip

back over here that gets changed again.

(gunfire)

(inaudible) There is a truck sitting behind me, but I fell as a traveler.

fellers and drablin' whisked and I'm gonna pull over to the right side of the road

you're gonna come around you can't get up and take a look

I'm gonna be able to take the dust with me so they're gonna clear a lot of the dust

they're gonna come around

I'll have it

I always want dust as a big issue That's the biggest thing you draw up is very dust and that's where accident is happening.

Ah,

shit. There is a truck coming.

That main road's inspectors just asked me to pull

into the road train terminal up here.

So they can inspect by permits,

load, truck,

etc. I'm sweating it now.

So many times of my life I've come out

badly out of these things.

I'll just grab those permits,

alright? Steve, are you here?

We now do this stuff on the iPad now,

mate. All we do is I just feed you

a thing to your email.

When you find it in your email.

Well, it doesn't really because I don't know emails and Mr.

Stutz, but that's.

What's our weight you reckon with, we're ready.

We'll be running more than 22.

That's 15 tonne that tank.

- Oh, that's fine.

- And there you go, five.

- Oh, eight.

- What do you got?

- Five, one.

There you go.

- Think you're so happy.

- This truck's had $200,000 spent on it in the last 12 months.

- Wouldn't it be cheaper if just to actually have a retire?

- You could make wood just sort of a, you know?

- So they have to make wood towards the old Steve's bench.

- Steering up on the retirement.

- Brakes were all pretty reasonable on all that. - Brakes are more than reasonable. You know, so the May boot towards the old Steve's benching. He'd be up on the retirement road, son.

Brakes were all pretty reasonable and all that.

Brakes are more than reasonable.

We've been money on them all the time.

Well, there's a truck in there.

There's the money.

How wide are they?

Exactly 3.5.

3.5 exactly.

They're not 3.5.

Honestly.

That's it.

If you want to go across the base,

you have to go across the base.

There we go.

Pull that there, Bob. Steve pulled out the evoke.

He doesn't line my eyes.

There he goes, mate. He shrugged.

The actual heat shrugged.

Well, you pointed three, five, four, that's the deal,

last party.

You don't well.

We'll give you an actual cold start on your head.

The slay thinks are coming.

Right, I fell in sync here.

Have a good day.

I'm going to get moving now.

Look back rolling again.

Those bikes, they were decent bikes.

They're doing their job, but they're lost anyhow.

That's another okay I've got to find tomorrow.

Hampered by frustrating delays, Steve is at rear.

the crane needed to unload the 84 ,000

litre diesel tank he's delivering to a remote community.

Being oversized, I can't make up time.

I'll have to pull up shortly for the end

of the day.

We're coming up on Monday to Gorge, which is

the big drop-off.

It's getting close to dark.

I've got to pull up and get off the road.

That's the Lord.

Yeah, I know,

dog. And now I'm really pushing like this time

to think about pulling up.

I'll give Tony a call.

I'm really keen to know how the boys got

on out there.

Tony's the boat with the other tanks and the crane.

All going well, Tony would have been unloaded and

the crane should be heading over to the second

point of everything's going to be alright with him.

Yeah, Tony,

got you.

Oh, that's a good mate.

That's good.

Yeah, no, no, I'm alright.

The dash fell out of it.

You're joking.

Alright.

I'll just have to stop at the corner and

wait for Ranger and the Crane to finish and get out.

Alright,

mate. No worries, you have a good one,

thanks. The road's 20 times worse than what they

thought, to the extent the base occluded dash people

would fill out of the car.

The crane and the second tank have to come

out 240 odd-case to meet me at the

corner and that's my worry.

I don't sleep tonight.

You can bring him back around slightly.

No, I can't really say much out of the trucks.

you're allowed on to tell you what's going on.

Makes it fun for me.

I just get to see it here and watch

Jack do it all.

I think what it makes the dream work.

Jack and Ashley are responsible for delivering $3.5

million worth of carbon fiber yacht before their oversized

permit runs out at daybreak.

Oh, I'm not a little bit,

So, got out of the fighter stuff,

That looks good. Someone's spot that roof.

make up at the time.

Apart from really, yeah, a few bridges,

this should hopefully be smooth sailing.

I'm going to get right through the tree lane down there.

That's 92.

Someone's spot that roof.

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing]

[music playing] [music playing] I'm going to try to pull it down here with the drink.

I got a trailer on the left, treing the f***ing car roll on the right, don't you?

You got about a four.

I don't have a shite when there's an option.

OK.

There you are.

Dickies putting the [bleep] trailers.

Got them, OK.

These shit's wrong.

[sirens]

Nah, shit.

There is a truck coming.

Oh, shit. There is a truck coming.

One more, yeah, yeah, one more, make it take a couple.

There we are, it's pretty incantious of road conditions and driving.

Good speed, but the dust is the one you look at for.

On a mission to get his expensive new trailers home undamaged

and have enough time to prepare his local track for the labored at horse races,

Rex has hit the final stretch after surviving over 1000

kilometres of diabolical dirt road.

Bitch, you know that beautiful.

Come back, we'll see you in Tippers. [MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHS]

Well, the three of them come through.

This is wrong on your face, doesn't it?

Yeah, they've got 60 kilometres in there,

and we'll be home.

They're looking forward to the cold beer, I think.

I'm swayed out.

This guy should be back.

There you go fellas.

What a trip.

What have you got here?

Get that coldy in the evening.

Oh, your buddy,

Lesans. Yeah, good luck.

Good health.

Thanks a lot,

mate. You know, please tell you this.

We'll break it up tomorrow morning and I'll get

to the race course.

Here we are at the Labrador Race Club,

finally got it.

Job is now to get the water on the

track, keep the track moist so that when the

horses get on here it's good on the hoose

trying to keep nopped on the track surface.

(music)

Rick doesn't only ride the track, he don't know it's all the sand,

because he's only used once a year, he's fantastic though.

Just good thing back here in Liverton,

and I'm here for the riders,

I'm looking forward to the weekend catch up with the family

and from my mates and friends,

we all think it should be good.

(music) Friends, we are being should be good.

Jack McCry is in charge of our high stakes

multi-million dollar job for McCry and sons with their

with the help of his boss's sister, Ashley.

I was just about to go to sleep.

- You're supposed to wake me up when we get there.

Two minutes to four, pretty much perfect.

Less than two, like, is this the intersection I turn in?

It's just to the end of the ride that's where it's going.

That hot, that hot.

Hey, looks like it was the worst of it You gonna eat some of your other stuff Jack, just let me do it.

Yeah, yeah.

Right here, Jack.

I don't know what's in it.

I'm steady.

I have 20 mil.

There you go.

There you are, here in the left of town.

Wait here. This is where it's going.

Move to the yard.

Go ahead.

That's it?

Done.

Boys killed it. They always do well.

There's a reason, you know, why they haven't been doing it so long.

That one's knocked off.

On the stands now, so pull the trailer out.

Down home for breakfast.

Yeah, 4-5.

We made it late. We made it all the right.

No damage. Nothing to worry about.

They did it again. Whoo!

Better suck it in here and we're going to

lead on the bridge.

Three-five -five,

mate. We should be good.

If I have a good run today,

I should get close to my thousand kilometers,

But it's not without its stress.

Steve's racing to deliver a 15-ton fuel tank,

essential for providing power to a remote community.

But the crane required to lift the tank could

be delayed,

costing Steve precious time and money.

Yesterday Tony said to me that the crane might

have some mechanical problems.

This morning there was absolutely no sign of any

problems with the crane the levers are just stressing and worrying

and what's going on and all I can do

is get to the top of the tent of

my road and wait.

Well, here we go.

We've got a quad to deal with here apart

from this beautiful scenery.

You know you're in the middle right just by the quads.

They're coming at you every five seconds.

You know you're on that big conveyor belt,

grinding this way into Port Hadland with thousands upon

of the thousands of tons of iron ore rolling

down the road towards that port.

Coming up in 1825, then I'll get here here.

Yeah, Roger 25, come into it.

These ports weigh 180 or 200 something tons,

60million as long

60metres long cutting mess of amounts of iron ore.

Is there a pretty good money driving in there

on seriously good money?

We've got a way to be driving this one.

Thank you, have a good day.

(music)

I'm left at the build run.

I'm into the Kenberley and on the single lane

roads and the single lane bridges.

Get up the road here a bit.

I'll pull up to my meeting point.

I might get there right on time.

I haven't got a phone message yet from Tony.

I just love to think it's a good out there.

I'm still in that void of no information.

Well, this is a tan of mine.

I've just got here.

This is where I'll wait for the boys to

come back from Bill Loner and Balgo where they've

dropped their tanks.

Crane's going to come out.

We go to ring a soak,

drop mine.

That is a little bit of a drama.

OK.

Right,

mate. No worries,

thanks. Cranes hydraulic tank has got a split in it.
