1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:07,000
This time on Outback Truckers, 39 degrees
outside of Thermoghamwater's life in here.
2
00:00:07,001 --> 00:00:08,000
I've got boob sweats.
3
00:00:08,001 --> 00:00:14,000
Heading to a Monday Monday when
we're going to install a couple of balls.
4
00:00:14,001 --> 00:00:16,000
It's sandy.
5
00:00:16,001 --> 00:00:18,000
It's good that we're naked.
6
00:00:18,001 --> 00:00:21,000
Yes I hear, here's a stop saying hugs.
7
00:00:21,001 --> 00:00:24,000
We have very limited time.
8
00:00:24,001 --> 00:00:25,000
Preaches on.
9
00:00:25,001 --> 00:00:30,000
If the world's eight turn,
then we ain't heard it.
10
00:00:30,001 --> 00:00:32,000
Wait!
11
00:00:32,001 --> 00:00:38,000
What's going on there?
12
00:00:38,001 --> 00:00:42,000
We've got oil pressure warning water.
13
00:00:42,001 --> 00:00:48,000
Big rain's coming pretty quickly, and there
are people evacuating from this community.
14
00:00:48,001 --> 00:00:49,000
Stop! Stop!
15
00:00:49,001 --> 00:00:51,000
We're f***ing out!
16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
All right, one more chop
before this rain comes, Vinnie.
17
00:01:01,001 --> 00:01:03,000
Oh, yah.
18
00:01:03,001 --> 00:01:04,000
El Nani eight, eh?
19
00:01:04,001 --> 00:01:05,000
Six litre.
20
00:01:05,001 --> 00:01:06,000
Lovely.
21
00:01:06,001 --> 00:01:07,000
Let's chop it.
22
00:01:07,001 --> 00:01:12,279
Car recyclers Mike Elliott
and his 17-year-old son Vinnie
23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,000
are working fast, extracting
cash from an Outback relic.
24
00:01:18,001 --> 00:01:22,000
The only thing that's worth any
money is the engine, transmission.
25
00:01:22,001 --> 00:01:25,000
The rest of the car is absolutely rooted.
26
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:29,000
That engine, that gearbox,
will be used in another car.
27
00:01:29,001 --> 00:01:35,000
We only take the good components, and
then the rest of it is for metal recycling.
28
00:01:35,001 --> 00:01:37,000
We've been out here for 10 days.
29
00:01:37,001 --> 00:01:39,000
It's been bloody hard.
30
00:01:39,001 --> 00:01:44,000
The pair have done a deal with the
citizens of the tiny town of Bilaluna
31
00:01:44,001 --> 00:01:50,000
in far northwestern Australia to
buy and recycle their car wrecks.
32
00:01:50,001 --> 00:01:53,000
We quiet all their scrap cars,
and we clean everything up,
33
00:01:53,001 --> 00:01:55,000
so it's a win-win for
everyone, to be honest.
34
00:01:55,001 --> 00:02:01,000
That's 120 cars now on here, or engines,
gearboxes, diffs, that sort of stuff.
35
00:02:01,001 --> 00:02:03,000
Definitely doubled up money.
36
00:02:03,001 --> 00:02:05,411
We outlaid 40 grand,
and what it's looking like
37
00:02:05,423 --> 00:02:08,000
is there's about 80 grams
worth of stock on board.
38
00:02:08,001 --> 00:02:09,000
Perfect!
39
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:10,000
That's it.
40
00:02:10,001 --> 00:02:11,000
We're going to strap up.
41
00:02:11,001 --> 00:02:13,000
We're going to get out
of the town of my desert,
42
00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:16,000
and we're heading straight
back to Perth, 3,000 kilometres.
43
00:02:16,001 --> 00:02:19,329
To get paid, the
father-son team must haul
44
00:02:19,341 --> 00:02:23,000
their fully loaded rig,
almost 200 kilometres,
45
00:02:23,001 --> 00:02:26,793
along the notorious Tanami
Dirt Road, to the highway near
46
00:02:26,794 --> 00:02:33,000
Hall's Creek, then travel
over 2,500 kilometres to Perth.
47
00:02:33,001 --> 00:02:36,000
We've kind of left it a
little bit too late in the year.
48
00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:39,000
They're forecasting
300 mil for this weekend.
49
00:02:39,001 --> 00:02:41,463
You know, 300 mils of
rain means that this whole
50
00:02:41,475 --> 00:02:43,659
area will probably
be about a foot high in
51
00:02:43,709 --> 00:02:46,000
water, and that means
no truck is going to move.
52
00:02:46,001 --> 00:02:47,000
No trailer is going to move.
53
00:02:47,001 --> 00:02:50,000
It's going to be absolute
chaos for at least four months.
54
00:02:50,001 --> 00:02:51,000
You ready?
55
00:02:51,001 --> 00:02:52,000
Yeah.
56
00:02:52,001 --> 00:02:55,000
We cannot afford to be renting
trailers here for four months.
57
00:02:55,001 --> 00:02:57,000
Truck repayments, that sort of stuff.
58
00:02:57,001 --> 00:02:58,000
That's ridiculous.
59
00:02:58,001 --> 00:03:00,000
The weather is no joke, really.
60
00:03:00,001 --> 00:03:03,000
You know, there are people
evacuating from the community as we talk.
61
00:03:03,001 --> 00:03:08,000
I'm watching cars go down the bloody road
right now, and we shall be joining them.
62
00:03:08,001 --> 00:03:12,000
The problem is we're hauling 140
ton right now with 3 max trailers.
63
00:03:12,001 --> 00:03:16,000
The more weight, the more stress
attraction could be a major issue.
64
00:03:16,001 --> 00:03:19,000
This dust, when you mix it with water,
65
00:03:19,001 --> 00:03:23,000
it becomes literally like someone's
just poured grease all over the road.
66
00:03:23,001 --> 00:03:26,000
So your truck starts
fish-tailing down the road.
67
00:03:26,001 --> 00:03:29,000
Now what we're going to do is
load our crane truck on our drop deck,
68
00:03:29,001 --> 00:03:33,000
and we're going to set up the
road train, and we're going to roll.
69
00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:38,000
One of my mates dropped off my scanning
crane truck for me out here a week ago.
70
00:03:38,001 --> 00:03:41,000
It's a big truck, it's a
heavy truck, it's an old truck.
71
00:03:41,001 --> 00:03:43,000
This thing is just a nightmare.
72
00:03:43,001 --> 00:03:46,000
Every time we load it, it's
just an absolute nightmare.
73
00:03:46,001 --> 00:03:50,000
Right now, I'm stressing
about getting this thing on board.
74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,837
Because it's such a low
truck, we're using extra
75
00:04:00,838 --> 00:04:05,000
rails here as a better
leverage to get more clearance.
76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Like that, eh? Somewhere there? Yeah.
77
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:13,000
Let's go.
78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Stop, stop. We're **** now.
79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Watch out.
80
00:04:41,001 --> 00:04:44,000
Yuck, come on. Where do you want me to go?
81
00:04:44,001 --> 00:04:46,000
Just hold on.
82
00:04:46,001 --> 00:04:49,000
I put on driving clothes today,
and this is one of my good talks,
83
00:04:49,001 --> 00:04:53,000
so I don't want to get dirty, I
wasn't planning paying with grease.
84
00:04:53,001 --> 00:04:57,000
Just done a wheel bearing on the trial of
this, so we're just doing a new hub on it.
85
00:04:57,001 --> 00:05:00,000
Hopefully we've got some
seals and bearings to go into it.
86
00:05:00,001 --> 00:05:03,286
Anthony and Daniel
Haig are rushing to make
87
00:05:03,287 --> 00:05:07,000
essential truck repairs in
remote Northern Australia.
88
00:05:07,001 --> 00:05:09,841
We are in the middle
of the desert on this
89
00:05:09,842 --> 00:05:14,000
multi-million acre property,
Barkley down station.
90
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:23,000
The Haigs make money finding water
on massive out-back cattle stations.
91
00:05:23,001 --> 00:05:29,000
We drill water bores for grill
remote cattle stations for stock.
92
00:05:29,001 --> 00:05:31,927
It could be for the
homesteads that pretty much
93
00:05:31,928 --> 00:05:35,000
go to the places that
nobody else wants to go.
94
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:39,000
We are a few days behind now
because of these breakdowns.
95
00:05:39,001 --> 00:05:42,000
Fingers crossed, nothing
else goes through all.
96
00:05:42,001 --> 00:05:46,000
Just finished our wheel bearings
in that ear, packed up, ready to go.
97
00:05:46,001 --> 00:05:49,000
Leed barking down, had up a mongy mongy.
98
00:05:49,001 --> 00:05:53,000
I think we've got about 80, 90 Ks of dirt.
99
00:05:53,001 --> 00:05:58,000
The Haigs have just completed a
water drilling job at Barkley down station,
100
00:05:58,001 --> 00:06:02,000
and now we'll travel north,
almost 1,000 kilometres,
101
00:06:02,001 --> 00:06:05,000
before leaving the
highway and hitting the dirt,
102
00:06:05,001 --> 00:06:09,000
to reach their next job at
a mongy mongy station.
103
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:11,000
I have heard it's a bit sandy up there,
104
00:06:11,001 --> 00:06:14,000
so I'm fingers crossed
they're not getting bald.
105
00:06:14,001 --> 00:06:19,000
The roads that we drive on, they're not
your typical road-trained fishermen roads.
106
00:06:19,001 --> 00:06:23,000
They're roads that are made for all drives.
107
00:06:23,001 --> 00:06:27,000
So we've had a few hiccups this last
week, so it'll be good to get out there
108
00:06:27,001 --> 00:06:30,000
and start working again,
earning some money.
109
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Such a tight squeeze out of here.
110
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,000
To get the job done, they
need two triple road trains.
111
00:06:47,001 --> 00:06:53,000
Anthony is pulling what's known
as a BA triple, 44 metres long.
112
00:06:53,001 --> 00:06:56,203
Danielle's rig is a
full A triple road train,
113
00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:59,000
almost 10 metres
longer than Anthony's.
114
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Loaded with drilling equipment,
they're mobile home and supplies,
115
00:07:04,001 --> 00:07:07,000
the mega rigs are
essential for their business,
116
00:07:07,001 --> 00:07:11,000
and their dream of
paying down all their debts.
117
00:07:11,001 --> 00:07:14,256
Drilling, it's our main
source of income like
118
00:07:14,257 --> 00:07:18,000
the boat, but we have
recently acquired a farm.
119
00:07:18,001 --> 00:07:20,000
They'll outback right away.
120
00:07:20,001 --> 00:07:23,000
The farm's still in development stages.
121
00:07:23,001 --> 00:07:28,000
Over three years ago, Anthony
and Danielle took a massive gamble,
122
00:07:28,001 --> 00:07:34,000
taking out millions of dollars in loans
to develop a run-down outback farm.
123
00:07:34,001 --> 00:07:37,000
When we first bought it, you know,
obviously we had to pay it back,
124
00:07:37,001 --> 00:07:44,000
so we'd develop a need up, pay get into
a home and pay get successful as well.
125
00:07:44,001 --> 00:07:48,000
We've got two boys, they're a
bit of a challenge having them.
126
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:56,000
We have Pete, who's 10, and Theo,
who's five now, and a governess Katie.
127
00:07:56,001 --> 00:07:58,000
How are you going towards your Katie?
128
00:07:58,001 --> 00:07:59,000
Thank you.
129
00:07:59,001 --> 00:08:09,000
You know, the pressure's on, we've lost
a couple of days, with all this breakdowns.
130
00:08:09,001 --> 00:08:11,462
These guys are not
only a new flight, but, you
131
00:08:11,474 --> 00:08:14,000
know, if we don't hit
water, that's less money.
132
00:08:14,001 --> 00:08:19,000
It's our reputation, so we kind of
really want to just hurry up and get there,
133
00:08:19,001 --> 00:08:24,000
and, um, get the job done so we
can put some money in the bank.
134
00:08:24,001 --> 00:08:28,000
We are just coming into Calwell.
135
00:08:28,001 --> 00:08:31,364
It's a tiny, cute little
town on the Northern
136
00:08:31,365 --> 00:08:37,000
Territory Queensland
border, just a servo and a pub.
137
00:08:37,001 --> 00:08:39,000
Okay, you're right, you're coming.
138
00:08:39,001 --> 00:08:42,000
Yeah, just about two points for this car.
139
00:08:42,001 --> 00:08:46,000
Every year when we
come here I'll freak out.
140
00:08:46,001 --> 00:08:49,000
It's a really tight fort for a road train.
141
00:08:49,001 --> 00:08:52,870
We're going to wait on
coming traffic because you
142
00:08:52,882 --> 00:08:57,000
have to go right out on
the other side on a highway.
143
00:08:57,001 --> 00:09:01,000
Oh, my God, I hate when people are filming.
144
00:09:01,001 --> 00:09:04,000
The pressure's on.
145
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:06,000
I can't see.
146
00:09:06,001 --> 00:09:09,000
Katie, how close might those cars?
147
00:09:09,001 --> 00:09:12,000
They look pretty close.
148
00:09:12,001 --> 00:09:15,000
Katie, you're almost
touching the mirror on that car.
149
00:09:15,001 --> 00:09:18,000
F***ing shouldn't be pop in there.
150
00:09:18,001 --> 00:09:20,000
I just need it to move into the mirror.
151
00:09:20,001 --> 00:09:22,000
Wait!
152
00:09:22,001 --> 00:09:28,000
You're now self-lined up.
153
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:31,000
I'll just sit out of here until he
gets in there and grabs a patter.
154
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,901
We're about to start
loading here in Wagner's
155
00:09:35,913 --> 00:09:40,000
yard with two heavy
isotators, a cement patter.
156
00:09:40,001 --> 00:09:45,000
A 67-year-old Jim Foodie
has a FD payload to deliver.
157
00:09:45,001 --> 00:09:47,463
That was sort of doing a
bit of watching here and
158
00:09:47,475 --> 00:09:50,000
trying to see if we could
stop at the right place.
159
00:09:50,001 --> 00:09:53,703
A double trailer load
of weighty cement
160
00:09:53,715 --> 00:09:58,000
powder transported
in cylindrical isotainers.
161
00:09:58,001 --> 00:10:03,000
Well, I don't know if we get
this thing on the road, I suppose.
162
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,988
With these trailers on, we're
now sitting around about our
163
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
legal weight for a double
road train, which is 80-odd ton.
164
00:10:15,001 --> 00:10:19,000
The hole in North Queensland is
going mad, building at the moment.
165
00:10:19,001 --> 00:10:22,592
Because everybody's trying
to get things done before
166
00:10:22,604 --> 00:10:26,000
the wet season starts to
set in again, why we go?
167
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:30,026
What we're doing with them
is taking them up to Mariva
168
00:10:30,038 --> 00:10:34,000
first and then we rake it
up and then move it around.
169
00:10:34,001 --> 00:10:37,000
Probably pick up a third trailer.
170
00:10:37,001 --> 00:10:39,956
Because of road train
regulations, Foodie will
171
00:10:39,968 --> 00:10:43,000
be forced to take the
back way from Townsville,
172
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,777
pulling the 50-ton load through
a challenging stretch of narrow
173
00:10:47,789 --> 00:10:52,000
bitumen and rough dirt roads to
reach his first destination at Mariva.
174
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,962
He'll drop one trailer then, before
pushing on to Lakeland, where he'll swap
175
00:10:58,974 --> 00:11:03,000
the second cement trailer for another
loaded trailer to bring back to Cairns.
176
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,047
We've got a pretty arabulous day
in front of us, time-wise, we've got
177
00:11:08,059 --> 00:11:12,000
a lot of lot to do, precious on to
get into catch tomorrow morning.
178
00:11:12,001 --> 00:11:18,000
Otherwise, they don't work on the weekend,
so we're there two days late, everywhere.
179
00:11:18,001 --> 00:11:22,000
Foodie's next job starts
in Cairns tomorrow.
180
00:11:22,001 --> 00:11:26,134
If he misses his deadline,
he'll lose two days of income,
181
00:11:26,146 --> 00:11:30,000
while he waits for the depot
to open again on Monday.
182
00:11:30,001 --> 00:11:33,952
Ideally, we need to be
holding the road early Saturday
183
00:11:33,964 --> 00:11:38,000
morning at the latest to make
all our time commitments.
184
00:11:38,001 --> 00:11:41,000
If the world's earning,
we ain't earning it.
185
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,198
It's not just cash
Foodie could miss out on.
186
00:11:46,210 --> 00:11:51,000
He has another commitment tomorrow,
one more important than money.
187
00:11:51,001 --> 00:11:58,000
My daughter, Teresa, is graduating
year 12 at Teens High School.
188
00:11:58,001 --> 00:12:01,517
You miss out on some of the
family things went on the road all
189
00:12:01,529 --> 00:12:05,000
the time, but I have orders
strutting for my other two girls.
190
00:12:05,001 --> 00:12:09,000
Do not miss Teresa's graduation.
191
00:12:09,001 --> 00:12:11,000
Pressure is on.
192
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,000
This thing is a 1997 Western
Star 4900 series possible agent.
193
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,768
With over 1,000 challenging
kilometres to do in less than 24
194
00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:32,000
hours, Foodie is putting all his
faith into his aging Western Star.
195
00:12:32,001 --> 00:12:36,152
It has a 15-litre, six-cylinder
turbo diesel motor,
196
00:12:36,164 --> 00:12:40,000
and almost two million
kilometres on the clock.
197
00:12:40,001 --> 00:12:47,000
The yard is an ugly out thing, and I
just say out what seat speed is that?
198
00:12:47,001 --> 00:12:53,000
Just up here a little bit further, we'll
actually be turning on the Utan Road.
199
00:12:53,001 --> 00:12:57,000
Now the Utan Road, it tends to be rough.
200
00:12:57,001 --> 00:13:01,000
It's a bush road, a bit of an handful.
201
00:13:01,001 --> 00:13:04,000
Hands the dirt.
202
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I don't know, look out.
203
00:13:10,001 --> 00:13:13,000
The boost pressure's gone.
204
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:17,000
It's the turbo pressure that
generates the boost for the engine.
205
00:13:17,001 --> 00:13:20,528
Without the extra power
created by the turbo,
206
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:24,000
Jim has no chance of
pulling his heavy load.
207
00:13:24,001 --> 00:13:26,000
We don't need that.
208
00:13:26,001 --> 00:13:29,000
Just a complete disaster.
209
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Oh, no, no, no.
210
00:13:41,001 --> 00:13:44,000
Stop, stop.
211
00:13:44,001 --> 00:13:46,000
Stop, go forward, go forward.
212
00:13:46,001 --> 00:13:51,000
That's not good.
213
00:13:51,001 --> 00:13:52,000
Yeah.
214
00:13:52,001 --> 00:13:55,000
My nerves are shot.
215
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:58,292
Rushing to get loaded
in the remote Tanami
216
00:13:58,304 --> 00:14:02,000
Desert, before a massive
wet-season storm hits,
217
00:14:02,001 --> 00:14:07,000
Mike and Vinny have scraped
their crane truck's air brake tanks.
218
00:14:07,001 --> 00:14:09,632
The air tank's just
clipped this little corner
219
00:14:09,644 --> 00:14:12,000
here, and just a
valve that releases air.
220
00:14:12,001 --> 00:14:13,000
Hey, guess what?
221
00:14:13,001 --> 00:14:15,000
I don't need no air escaping.
222
00:14:15,001 --> 00:14:19,000
The mount's got busted
up a little bit, but it's all good.
223
00:14:19,001 --> 00:14:20,000
Hey, Vincent.
224
00:14:20,001 --> 00:14:21,000
Yeah.
225
00:14:21,001 --> 00:14:22,000
Look at this.
226
00:14:22,001 --> 00:14:23,000
Oh, shit.
227
00:14:23,001 --> 00:14:26,000
We've got a whole tire off.
228
00:14:26,001 --> 00:14:30,000
In a bit of anxiety, and going
on quickly, I'll punch it off.
229
00:14:30,001 --> 00:14:31,000
Condition of the road out there.
230
00:14:31,001 --> 00:14:32,000
Come on.
231
00:14:32,001 --> 00:14:34,000
Almost throw it off the side.
232
00:14:34,001 --> 00:14:36,000
So now, we're going
to try and load it again.
233
00:14:36,001 --> 00:14:37,000
Oh, we need another rim.
234
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:39,000
There's one right there, look.
235
00:14:39,001 --> 00:14:40,000
Let's go.
236
00:14:40,001 --> 00:14:41,000
There we go.
237
00:14:41,001 --> 00:14:42,000
That'll do.
238
00:14:42,001 --> 00:14:44,000
We've just raised the ramps.
239
00:14:44,001 --> 00:14:48,000
We made a nicer angle, a better
gradient for this truck to go up.
240
00:14:48,001 --> 00:14:51,000
And yeah, we're just going to
try and put it on straight this time.
241
00:14:51,001 --> 00:14:56,000
Straighten up, straighten up.
242
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000
It's that close.
243
00:15:09,001 --> 00:15:10,000
Yeah, that's it.
244
00:15:10,001 --> 00:15:11,000
Shit.
245
00:15:11,001 --> 00:15:13,000
There's rain over there.
246
00:15:13,001 --> 00:15:16,000
Lucky we loaded.
247
00:15:16,001 --> 00:15:19,000
Already this morning, we
started filling the sprinkles.
248
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:21,000
300 mil this week, which is crazy rain.
249
00:15:21,001 --> 00:15:27,000
That's, you know, once
every 20 years top rain.
250
00:15:27,001 --> 00:15:30,000
This is the heaviest we've
been, the dirty girl now.
251
00:15:30,001 --> 00:15:32,000
It's been 40 tonne night.
252
00:15:32,001 --> 00:15:33,000
I'm just walking it through there.
253
00:15:33,001 --> 00:15:36,000
I think I'll do it 15 kms an hour.
254
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:41,000
We have to travel at such a slow rate, and
the more chance it is, we're going to rain.
255
00:15:41,001 --> 00:15:45,000
The problem with that is getting bogged.
256
00:15:45,001 --> 00:15:48,000
Being stuck somewhere means
that no one's making money.
257
00:15:48,001 --> 00:15:53,000
There's bills, there's truck regos, there's
trailer regos, and none of us getting paid.
258
00:15:53,001 --> 00:15:58,000
What the f*** gone on there?
259
00:15:58,001 --> 00:16:01,000
We got oil pressure warning law.
260
00:16:01,001 --> 00:16:04,000
F*** sake.
261
00:16:04,001 --> 00:16:07,102
If we're traveling with 140
tons of blown oil pressure,
262
00:16:07,114 --> 00:16:10,000
it means that we've got
to rule the $60,000 engine.
263
00:16:10,001 --> 00:16:15,000
That basically means that this
thing's not getting off the tanner line.
264
00:16:15,001 --> 00:16:21,000
Katie, how close is one of those cars?
265
00:16:21,001 --> 00:16:24,000
You're almost touching
a mirror on that car.
266
00:16:24,001 --> 00:16:26,000
F*** shouldn't be parking there.
267
00:16:26,001 --> 00:16:28,000
Yeah, just push it in.
268
00:16:28,001 --> 00:16:32,000
Now, come on.
269
00:16:32,001 --> 00:16:34,000
Here you go, you're open.
270
00:16:34,001 --> 00:16:38,000
Just keep walking for me in spring.
271
00:16:38,001 --> 00:16:41,414
Loaded with water
drilling equipment, Danielle
272
00:16:41,426 --> 00:16:45,000
Haig is using every
ounce of her trucking skills
273
00:16:45,001 --> 00:16:51,000
to thread her 53 and a half meter
long rig through a tight corner.
274
00:16:51,001 --> 00:16:54,000
This pulls on a little
bit longer than anything.
275
00:16:54,001 --> 00:16:57,000
Oh, that's why it's hairy.
276
00:16:57,001 --> 00:17:00,000
You're all right now.
277
00:17:00,001 --> 00:17:01,000
F*** sake.
278
00:17:01,001 --> 00:17:03,000
OK, please, it's OK.
279
00:17:03,001 --> 00:17:04,000
Yeah.
280
00:17:04,001 --> 00:17:07,802
The only way I take that
corner with it where those
281
00:17:07,814 --> 00:17:12,000
cars are, so that would
f***ing get this shit out of me.
282
00:17:12,001 --> 00:17:15,000
Just let it know.
283
00:17:15,001 --> 00:17:17,000
I did it.
284
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,942
My friends, my family, everyone's
like, "Who are you Danielle?
285
00:17:24,943 --> 00:17:26,925
" "You're not the
girl we used to know.
286
00:17:26,926 --> 00:17:34,000
" I did grow up in the city and I did
have a totally different outlook on life.
287
00:17:34,001 --> 00:17:37,769
Then I'm in Anthony
and my world was pretty
288
00:17:37,781 --> 00:17:42,000
much turned upside down,
but a good upside down.
289
00:17:42,001 --> 00:17:45,000
Literally, he rose me in
the deep end each time.
290
00:17:45,001 --> 00:17:48,000
But hey, mate, live with my best life.
291
00:17:48,001 --> 00:17:52,000
You don't even get adrenaline
like that on the goal, guys.
292
00:17:52,001 --> 00:17:56,000
Oh, my God.
293
00:17:56,001 --> 00:17:58,000
It is.
294
00:17:58,001 --> 00:18:02,000
I'm on a brick-in corner, and
he's trying to overtake me.
295
00:18:02,001 --> 00:18:08,000
Hey, if you could give me that car
and I wouldn't do it, there's a car coming.
296
00:18:08,001 --> 00:18:12,000
Oh, my God.
297
00:18:12,001 --> 00:18:16,000
Oh, my God.
298
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Well, he seemed to have a bit
of an air leak here somewhere.
299
00:18:22,001 --> 00:18:25,000
Whose pressure guy is just showing nothing?
300
00:18:25,001 --> 00:18:30,000
A malfunctioning turbo has
Jim Foodie feeling the heat.
301
00:18:30,001 --> 00:18:33,717
He has less than 24 hours
to complete his mission
302
00:18:33,729 --> 00:18:37,000
and get back to cans,
or face losing money.
303
00:18:37,001 --> 00:18:43,000
The pressure's really on to people
world-turning, just to keep the cash flowing.
304
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
The fittings just come out, popped out.
305
00:18:49,001 --> 00:18:51,000
That's just measuring the boost pressure.
306
00:18:51,001 --> 00:18:54,000
We've got a lot of boost
pressure coming out there.
307
00:18:54,001 --> 00:18:57,000
Rough roads and things, that's all that is.
308
00:18:57,001 --> 00:19:00,000
A little Loctite.
309
00:19:00,001 --> 00:19:05,000
Whatever reason it seems to want
to come out, so we'll try and hold it in.
310
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Well, we stopped there
for 10 minutes to fix that.
311
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Well, that's another 10
minutes if we weren't up the road.
312
00:19:19,001 --> 00:19:22,000
We are very limited at the time.
313
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,028
It's 4pm. Foodie still has
another 150 bone jarring
314
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,000
kilometres to get to his
first drop-off at Mariba,
315
00:19:31,001 --> 00:19:35,000
and then almost 200
kilometres after that, to Lakeland.
316
00:19:35,001 --> 00:19:39,000
Guess that we're probably about
an hour and a half out of Mariba.
317
00:19:39,001 --> 00:19:43,000
We don't have too many
more little hiccups and stuff.
318
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
We can just get higher agation if we can.
319
00:19:47,001 --> 00:19:50,000
We've taken it from out of bit.
320
00:19:50,001 --> 00:19:55,000
Good thing is, we are deli through
the dirt, which is not very bad or empty.
321
00:19:55,001 --> 00:20:03,000
Jim's fight to get back on
schedule is not just about money.
322
00:20:03,001 --> 00:20:05,000
It's personal.
323
00:20:05,001 --> 00:20:07,000
I denied my daughter's a raise.
324
00:20:07,001 --> 00:20:09,000
Graduates from year 12.
325
00:20:09,001 --> 00:20:14,000
And I'm on an absolute
order that I have to be then.
326
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000
We're just coming into the edge of Mariba.
327
00:20:22,001 --> 00:20:25,424
We're going to drop the
rear trailer off and then I'm
328
00:20:25,436 --> 00:20:29,000
going to take the lead
trailer of dolly up to Lakeland.
329
00:20:29,001 --> 00:20:33,029
The two trailers on Jim's
36 and a half metre road
330
00:20:33,041 --> 00:20:37,000
train are connected with
what's known as a dolly.
331
00:20:37,001 --> 00:20:40,000
A separate hitch with its own wheels.
332
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The two who barfed the dolly won't release.
333
00:20:46,001 --> 00:20:51,000
I'm not sure why that's happening.
We've wriggled and jiggled a bit.
334
00:20:51,001 --> 00:20:55,000
Which means a delay in getting the cans.
335
00:20:55,001 --> 00:20:57,000
That's just me not.
336
00:20:57,001 --> 00:21:00,000
I'm not moving at all.
337
00:21:00,001 --> 00:21:02,000
I think our luck is running out.
338
00:21:02,001 --> 00:21:10,000
What the f*ck is going on there?
339
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
The oil pressure warning law is
saying that it's losing oil pressure.
340
00:21:15,001 --> 00:21:18,124
If we're travelling with 140
tonnes with low oil pressure,
341
00:21:18,136 --> 00:21:21,000
it means that we're going
to ruin the $60,000 engine.
342
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,058
Loaded with salvaged car parts worth up to
$80,000 on the export market, Mike and Vinny
343
00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:34,000
are fighting to get out of the Tanomai
Desert before a fierce tropical storm breaks.
344
00:21:34,001 --> 00:21:37,014
There's big rain coming and
we are live trying to get out of
345
00:21:37,026 --> 00:21:40,000
here because big rain coming
means we stay here for months.
346
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,072
We're going to try and find
oil pressure sensor and see
347
00:21:44,084 --> 00:21:47,000
if it is low oil pressure
or if it's a sensor issue.
348
00:21:47,001 --> 00:21:51,000
I got a couple of sensors going in the
block into the water pump and stuff here.
349
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,885
We're really hoping that
dirty girls got a lot of sensors
350
00:21:56,897 --> 00:22:01,000
hooked up for it so far she
hasn't been wrong with anything.
351
00:22:01,001 --> 00:22:06,000
It looks like these are our oil pressure
sensors going straight into the block.
352
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,533
There's going to put a bit
of spray into them and see if
353
00:22:09,545 --> 00:22:12,000
it's just dust in the contacts
or something like that.
354
00:22:12,001 --> 00:22:17,000
I think I just felt a couple of
drops of rain. That's no good.
355
00:22:17,001 --> 00:22:23,000
Let's see if she's going
to play ball this time.
356
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,107
We've definitely got oil. We're
going to hear the engines not banging.
357
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000
This gauge has just
given some trouble.
358
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000
We could have an issue with this gauge.
That's great. That's absolutely fantastic.
359
00:22:38,001 --> 00:22:40,575
It might be a $50 or $60
gauge but who cares?
360
00:22:40,587 --> 00:22:43,000
You know at least
around a $60,000 engine.
361
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,817
We've got about 175 Ks on
dirt to Haws Creek and then we
362
00:22:55,829 --> 00:23:00,000
take a fat left to Perth and
we've got 3,000 to go back home.
363
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
It's been a long while since
I've been back to real civilisation.
364
00:23:06,001 --> 00:23:11,000
I get to go bloody sleep in my own bed.
I cannot wait to get out of here.
365
00:23:11,001 --> 00:23:14,000
I'm kissing the pavement when we get out.
366
00:23:14,001 --> 00:23:19,000
Finish signal to move.
367
00:23:19,001 --> 00:23:25,000
Yeah mate, copy.
368
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Thanks buddy.
369
00:23:31,001 --> 00:23:35,000
First side of the road gets started.
370
00:23:35,001 --> 00:23:38,000
Records the next water
crossing that's up here.
371
00:23:38,001 --> 00:23:40,662
Records get a bit of a run
up on it because apparently
372
00:23:40,674 --> 00:23:43,000
it's pretty slippery
coming out the other side.
373
00:23:43,001 --> 00:23:46,182
All the dust on top of the
road turns to big grease,
374
00:23:46,194 --> 00:23:50,000
literally like someone's just
poured grease all over the road.
375
00:23:50,001 --> 00:23:52,000
The truck tends to snake.
376
00:23:52,001 --> 00:23:55,000
The biggest problem with that, ball overs.
377
00:23:55,001 --> 00:23:58,000
We're right on weight
limit with our triple.
378
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
We're carrying about 140 ton.
379
00:24:01,001 --> 00:24:04,000
We're just going to do our best.
380
00:24:04,001 --> 00:24:08,000
I'm on dirty go.
381
00:24:08,001 --> 00:24:12,000
Hit it.
382
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Oh yes, I'm on a brick-in corner
and he's trying to overtake me.
383
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Oh my God.
384
00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:33,000
Oh my God.
385
00:24:33,001 --> 00:24:40,000
It's alright, he went back here behind me.
386
00:24:40,001 --> 00:24:44,000
You're in the cabin, now he
can come around the triple.
387
00:24:44,001 --> 00:24:46,000
He's already coming anyway.
388
00:24:46,001 --> 00:24:49,000
He has got a two-way, just
doesn't know how to use it.
389
00:24:49,001 --> 00:24:55,000
Daniel and Anthony Hagg's dreams
of paying off their outback farm
390
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,393
rely on them negotiating
Australia's outback highways,
391
00:24:59,405 --> 00:25:03,000
traveling to remote cattle
stations to drill water bores.
392
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,988
My best friend just had a
baby yesterday and I cannot
393
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
be there because I am here,
tried to make some money.
394
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,141
It's a three-day haul with all their
gear and accommodation to their
395
00:25:17,153 --> 00:25:21,000
next-paying gig, stopping to
sleep at roadhouses along the way.
396
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Woohoo! We've arrived at Barkley homestead.
397
00:25:25,001 --> 00:25:29,000
We are going to stop
here and camp up night.
398
00:25:37,550 --> 00:25:44,000
A couple of tire changes this morning.
I think we've got about 18 spares all up.
399
00:25:44,001 --> 00:25:47,023
This kind of distance
that we're doing today
400
00:25:47,035 --> 00:25:50,000
is like a full day, no
shops along the way.
401
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,017
Our kids eat like a bloody
horse, so you need to make
402
00:25:54,029 --> 00:25:57,000
sure you have enough food
and enough supplies to do.
403
00:25:57,001 --> 00:25:59,000
It's a 10-good, 10-hour day.
404
00:25:59,001 --> 00:26:01,000
It's finally ready.
405
00:26:01,001 --> 00:26:04,000
Oh well, we're off.
406
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:13,000
We do need to get this job
done, you know, kind of quickly.
407
00:26:13,001 --> 00:26:16,000
We've got a few more that we've
promised to do through this stint.
408
00:26:16,001 --> 00:26:20,000
There's no way we can miss our deadline.
We have to get these done.
409
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,000
We've just had to wind the windows down
because the air is on the kit itself, so...
410
00:26:27,001 --> 00:26:30,000
It's all smashing.
411
00:26:30,001 --> 00:26:33,165
I'm saying it's 39 degrees
outside, and if you imagine
412
00:26:33,177 --> 00:26:36,000
what it's like in here,
it's breaking hot bombs.
413
00:26:36,001 --> 00:26:39,000
I've got boob sweats. It's disgusting.
414
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,141
So close to a munchy
munchy, but it's a bit late now.
415
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:58,000
Just pull up here for the night and have
a rest and take off early in the morning.
416
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:08,000
We are heading to a munchy munchy where
we're going to install a couple of balls.
417
00:27:08,001 --> 00:27:12,000
I'm excited to get on the red dirt.
418
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,913
First indications, it's sandy.
Anthony has mentioned
419
00:27:19,925 --> 00:27:24,000
to me that it can be a bit
of a sandy country up here.
420
00:27:24,001 --> 00:27:28,000
It's a little concerning because sand
and road trains don't mix very well.
421
00:27:28,001 --> 00:27:33,000
I'm Gary, you're probably
better off a garden in front of me.
422
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,988
Guided by a station worker,
the Hags must wrestle
423
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
their rigs along a rugged
four-wheel drive track.
424
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,540
It's not easy for me to do the
same thing, but there's a lot of sand
425
00:27:47,552 --> 00:27:51,000
and oversteep inclines known
as jump-ups to get to the drill site.
426
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,028
I just heard over the
radio that the fellow that's
427
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,000
taken us out and said
there's a bit of a jump-up.
428
00:28:02,001 --> 00:28:05,000
Here's a bit of a jump-up, isn't it?
429
00:28:05,001 --> 00:28:07,000
You get a bit of a run-up?
430
00:28:07,001 --> 00:28:09,000
Make it up?
431
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Oh, f*ck, f*ck.
432
00:28:14,001 --> 00:28:17,000
Whoa!
433
00:28:17,001 --> 00:28:19,000
You look better than I can fly.
434
00:28:19,001 --> 00:28:21,000
Yes, I am. Stop saying that.
435
00:28:21,001 --> 00:28:23,000
You look better than I can.
436
00:28:23,001 --> 00:28:25,000
You're making me nervous.
437
00:28:25,001 --> 00:28:27,000
You might get lost.
438
00:28:27,001 --> 00:28:29,000
You might get lost, come on.
439
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,009
Probably actually can't release our dolly from
underneath this trailer, so I'm going to get a bit
440
00:28:43,021 --> 00:28:47,000
of lubrication, so it's good to put a shit around
there and see if we can shred up a little bit.
441
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,756
On an extreme deadline, Foodie
needs to release a jammed dolly to
442
00:28:53,768 --> 00:28:58,000
deliver the first of two cement
loads, or risk a crippling 48-hour delay.
443
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
There's things that
absolutely rank with dust.
444
00:29:04,001 --> 00:29:07,000
It's stuff like this.
445
00:29:07,001 --> 00:29:10,000
That's dust and grease
and you're going to get it.
446
00:29:10,001 --> 00:29:13,950
I'm going to do a little
bit more wriggle and jiggle
447
00:29:13,962 --> 00:29:18,000
and see if I can squirt a
bit more spray up in there.
448
00:29:18,001 --> 00:29:21,000
F*ck that.
449
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
You who barfed it, I got ya. Got him.
450
00:29:30,001 --> 00:29:35,000
Well, that was unexpected, and I
didn't think that'd work, to be honest.
451
00:29:35,001 --> 00:29:38,000
I'll go and give it a target
and see what happens.
452
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Yeah, happy days. Happy nights.
453
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,812
Foodie can now push through the 186
kilometres to his next stop at Lakeland,
454
00:29:56,824 --> 00:30:01,000
swapping the second cement trailer for a
load of scrap carts to bring back to cans.
455
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,055
I went up last night to Lakeland
and dropped the lead trailer
456
00:30:15,067 --> 00:30:19,000
with the cement powder up
there and picked this trailer up.
457
00:30:19,001 --> 00:30:22,419
They are just purely for
scrap, and we don't make
458
00:30:22,431 --> 00:30:26,000
much money out of them as
we steps community speed.
459
00:30:26,001 --> 00:30:30,000
Time is very, very critical.
460
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,988
Tonight my daughter, Theresa, graduates from
Year 12. Theresa helps me at the business
461
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
event and does a gouting and looks after the
books a bit for me, so that's a must-see.
462
00:30:44,001 --> 00:30:48,000
Look at that.
463
00:30:48,001 --> 00:30:51,000
I put a three-guard wind there for a f*ck.
464
00:30:51,001 --> 00:30:53,000
This is what this place is like.
465
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,655
We'll get into here and have
a very short break because
466
00:31:05,667 --> 00:31:09,000
the pressure's on, let's
get these car bodies off.
467
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:15,000
Oh, that'll get him working.
468
00:31:15,001 --> 00:31:18,529
And again, thinking
about taking new cars up
469
00:31:18,541 --> 00:31:22,000
the Cape, we'll load
them the same way, eh?
470
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,410
Ah, no. I get into an
up-travel deal, what I
471
00:31:27,422 --> 00:31:31,000
do without giving me
one of them to play with.
472
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Wait!
473
00:31:42,001 --> 00:31:44,000
Stop!
474
00:31:44,001 --> 00:31:46,000
Shut up!
475
00:31:46,001 --> 00:31:52,000
Oh, f*ck, f*ck!
476
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
I wasn't expecting to shut up!
477
00:31:56,001 --> 00:31:59,838
Danielle Haig is fighting
to get her triple trailer
478
00:31:59,850 --> 00:32:04,000
load through a brutally
boggy Northern Territory track.
479
00:32:04,001 --> 00:32:08,000
Man, I'm on the steerable tide, eh?
480
00:32:08,001 --> 00:32:13,000
I need to put the right bra off
of this one today, that's for sure.
481
00:32:13,001 --> 00:32:21,000
We made it there.
482
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,000
The Haigs are desperate to complete a water
drilling job to keep their business alive.
483
00:32:29,001 --> 00:32:34,000
We definitely need to hit water these ones.
We need to impress them.
484
00:32:34,001 --> 00:32:39,000
We need to make sure that they're happy, so
we can get repeat business in the future.
485
00:32:39,001 --> 00:32:45,000
Looks like we have landers.
486
00:32:45,001 --> 00:32:48,000
Does that go on to the pad yet?
487
00:32:48,001 --> 00:32:51,000
Okay, then, what's that?
488
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Anthony would have to be the number
one communicator on the planet's notch.
489
00:33:00,001 --> 00:33:06,000
Hold on, I'll just read your brain.
Oh, that's what you want me to do.
490
00:33:06,001 --> 00:33:11,000
On this side or that side?
491
00:33:11,001 --> 00:33:13,000
Go there and around that way.
492
00:33:13,001 --> 00:33:16,000
On the other side of that.
493
00:33:16,001 --> 00:33:21,000
So now I've just got the one
trailer on with the drill rods.
494
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
It's got a line, the drill rig
and the rod trailer up perfectly.
495
00:33:27,001 --> 00:33:31,000
It's very particular about that.
496
00:33:31,001 --> 00:33:34,000
Okay.
497
00:33:34,001 --> 00:33:37,000
No, no, it's just, please don't.
498
00:33:37,001 --> 00:33:40,000
They all need to move your hand on.
499
00:33:40,001 --> 00:33:43,000
I'll be a bit difficult doing
this with you sitting on me.
500
00:33:43,001 --> 00:33:49,000
And that's it, she's ready to rumble.
501
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:02,000
[Music]
502
00:34:02,001 --> 00:34:05,000
Pipes, just a dive out of pipe.
503
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:07,489
So all the dirt's going to
go out the end there and
504
00:34:07,501 --> 00:34:10,000
not pile up in so they
don't have to shovel it all.
505
00:34:10,001 --> 00:34:13,244
Now we've got that hooked
up and we start hammering
506
00:34:13,256 --> 00:34:16,000
away all our dirt will
come out down there.
507
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
[Music]
508
00:34:27,001 --> 00:34:30,000
Yeah, I've got some garlic bread boys.
509
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:32,000
Nice meal.
510
00:34:32,001 --> 00:34:35,000
Beautiful, hey, mum's the best cook.
511
00:34:35,001 --> 00:34:39,000
We're down 90 metres now.
512
00:34:39,001 --> 00:34:41,538
First 70 metres was a
bit of trouble, just a bit of
513
00:34:41,550 --> 00:34:44,000
moisture in the clay,
so it's sort of slow going.
514
00:34:44,001 --> 00:34:47,000
The other 20 metres has been pretty quick.
515
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
It's been a mammoth trip,
but the hardest work is done.
516
00:34:52,001 --> 00:34:56,000
Anthony's expecting to hit
water and finish the job tomorrow.
517
00:34:56,001 --> 00:35:02,000
Have a food and then get up and go
here and get back into it in the morning.
518
00:35:02,001 --> 00:35:08,000
We are on track, we are on plan, it
is happening to how it's supposed to.
519
00:35:08,001 --> 00:35:13,000
We can get this one smashed out
tomorrow and back home really soon.
520
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Our life in general, I
wouldn't trade it for anything.
521
00:35:17,001 --> 00:35:21,000
The kids get first hand
what it's like to work real hard.
522
00:35:21,001 --> 00:35:24,000
They are out here in the dirt
instead of watching your screen.
523
00:35:24,001 --> 00:35:29,000
It might be dirty work, it might be
hard work, but it's worth it in the end.
524
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:39,000
One, two, three, four.
525
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Stop!
526
00:35:45,001 --> 00:35:50,000
A piece of the car got caught
under the little headboard.
527
00:35:50,001 --> 00:35:54,000
Clicked it out. Shit happens.
528
00:35:54,001 --> 00:35:58,000
Foodie is desperate to avoid any delays.
529
00:35:58,001 --> 00:36:01,090
He needs his trailer
empty so it can be loaded
530
00:36:01,102 --> 00:36:04,000
with gas canisters
for his next paying job.
531
00:36:04,001 --> 00:36:09,000
And he has to get it all done in time
for his daughter's high school graduation.
532
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,435
Just about fully unload
it down and he takes a
533
00:36:12,447 --> 00:36:15,000
couple of minutes in
here with all the big gear.
534
00:36:15,001 --> 00:36:18,000
Happy days will be late.
535
00:36:18,001 --> 00:36:26,000
We are going to go and pick up our gas.
536
00:36:26,001 --> 00:36:29,000
It's now Friday afternoon.
537
00:36:29,001 --> 00:36:33,000
We don't get this gas at the next hour.
538
00:36:33,001 --> 00:36:36,046
We are here for the full
weekend mate and that's just
539
00:36:36,058 --> 00:36:39,000
going to blow out the
time total out of the bugery.
540
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
But first, we've got to get
around this corner in front of us.
541
00:36:44,001 --> 00:36:47,000
It's getting in too, it's getting out.
542
00:36:47,001 --> 00:36:51,080
They have figured it out for normal
semi-trailers and unfortunately
543
00:36:51,092 --> 00:36:55,000
this trailer of mine is a little
bit longer than those trailers.
544
00:36:55,001 --> 00:37:00,000
Around here we'll just miss them.
545
00:37:00,001 --> 00:37:04,000
And whoop.
546
00:37:04,001 --> 00:37:08,000
We'll just miss that.
547
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Now, our final turn is to get out there.
548
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Looking back again on here there.
549
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:38,000
We can just get ourselves
out through there.
550
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Jesus, that breaks
the sweat in that desert.
551
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Oh, shit.
552
00:37:53,001 --> 00:37:56,000
Oh, I've got a bit of
everything here in front of me.
553
00:37:56,001 --> 00:37:59,000
I've got a bloody farm tractor,
a truck that wants to go slow.
554
00:37:59,001 --> 00:38:03,000
You know, I miss my daughter's graduation.
555
00:38:03,001 --> 00:38:07,000
Yeah, that's not a happy place to be.
556
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,000
On a bit of a tight deadline,
everybody wants to slow you down.
557
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:23,000
This is it.
558
00:38:23,001 --> 00:38:27,000
Looking good, they're putting the gas
on the truck out there at the moment.
559
00:38:27,001 --> 00:38:29,000
Happy days, we're done, we're finished.
560
00:38:29,001 --> 00:38:36,000
And I've kept my date with my
daughter's graduation, which is good.
561
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Yeah.
562
00:38:40,001 --> 00:38:47,000
Well, here we are.
563
00:38:47,001 --> 00:38:49,000
Do I shine up all right?
564
00:38:49,001 --> 00:38:53,000
Here they are, the terrible teas.
565
00:38:53,001 --> 00:38:57,000
You've got teres, tiana, and tien.
566
00:38:57,001 --> 00:38:59,000
Hey, do I smell?
567
00:38:59,001 --> 00:39:02,000
What do I smell like?
568
00:39:02,001 --> 00:39:03,000
Dad?
569
00:39:03,001 --> 00:39:04,001
Oh, that's good.
570
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,000
There's not many people I will
ever, ever get dressed up for.
571
00:39:09,001 --> 00:39:11,000
I don't know, including
funerals and weddings.
572
00:39:11,001 --> 00:39:14,000
But my daughter's special,
yeah, I'll dress up for that.
573
00:39:14,001 --> 00:39:15,000
Dad.
574
00:39:15,001 --> 00:39:19,000
And then press the hell
out of her if nothing else.
575
00:39:19,001 --> 00:39:20,001
All right.
576
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:32,000
We're about to go through
and water crossing up here.
577
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Hit it.
578
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:46,000
That's it.
579
00:39:46,001 --> 00:39:48,000
We're good. We're still kicking.
580
00:39:48,001 --> 00:39:53,000
Mike and Vinny are racing
a severe tropical storm,
581
00:39:53,001 --> 00:39:57,000
desperate to get out of the Tanamai
Desert before they get stranded
582
00:39:57,001 --> 00:40:02,000
with their $100,000 truck,
and it's $80,000 payload.
583
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,437
My heart's in my stomach
because I know the
584
00:40:04,449 --> 00:40:06,000
condition of the road
out there at the moment.
585
00:40:06,001 --> 00:40:08,000
If you leave your truck
here for four months,
586
00:40:08,001 --> 00:40:12,000
I can guarantee you your truck's
not going to still be able to drive.
587
00:40:12,001 --> 00:40:18,000
Looks like a decent downpour
has come down here to just recently.
588
00:40:18,001 --> 00:40:21,000
And this has become super slippery.
589
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:26,000
This is exactly what I was worried about
hauling a 130, 140 ton out of this crap.
590
00:40:26,001 --> 00:40:30,000
Well, I've had the
throttle flat to the bore.
591
00:40:30,001 --> 00:40:32,441
I think I'm going to have grey
hairs by the end of this trip.
592
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Damn it.
593
00:40:35,001 --> 00:40:36,000
Not good, huh?
594
00:40:36,001 --> 00:40:39,000
The hill like this with a triple
on board just asking for trouble.
595
00:40:39,001 --> 00:40:41,000
The tyres are spinning.
596
00:40:41,001 --> 00:40:43,000
We're losing road speed.
597
00:40:43,001 --> 00:40:44,000
Uh-oh.
598
00:40:44,001 --> 00:40:46,000
Come on, dirty girl.
599
00:40:46,001 --> 00:40:52,000
It's bad.
600
00:40:52,001 --> 00:40:54,000
There you see our inspection.
601
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:12,000
That was about as close
as it was going to get to end.
602
00:41:12,001 --> 00:41:13,000
Down to what?
603
00:41:13,001 --> 00:41:14,000
That is there.
604
00:41:14,001 --> 00:41:15,000
That is a case an hour.
605
00:41:15,001 --> 00:41:16,000
Yeah.
606
00:41:16,001 --> 00:41:18,000
But I hope there's no more of that shit.
607
00:41:18,001 --> 00:41:26,000
Looks like we've made it through.
608
00:41:26,001 --> 00:41:28,000
We're hitting the pitch map here.
609
00:41:28,001 --> 00:41:31,000
Woohoo!
610
00:41:31,001 --> 00:41:33,000
Picture map!
611
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:46,000
This tyre is starting at 65 PSO.
612
00:41:46,001 --> 00:41:52,000
So we need to pop them up because we let
them down so it's less stress on the ride.
613
00:41:52,001 --> 00:41:56,000
But then as soon as you get back to
the bench, you want to pop them up.
614
00:41:56,001 --> 00:41:57,000
That's 90.
615
00:41:57,001 --> 00:41:59,000
There's 100 PSO.
616
00:41:59,001 --> 00:42:00,000
I've just done one.
617
00:42:00,001 --> 00:42:01,000
So we've got 61 left.
618
00:42:01,001 --> 00:42:03,000
Let's hope I get this
done before nightfall.
619
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,834
Today, after a long stint
in the desert like that,
620
00:42:12,846 --> 00:42:17,000
what we're going to do is
just have a nice, crazy day.
621
00:42:17,001 --> 00:42:20,000
See how the rig handles on the highway.
622
00:42:20,001 --> 00:42:21,000
For everything's all good.
623
00:42:21,001 --> 00:42:23,000
Tomorrow we'll kick it up to speed.
624
00:42:23,001 --> 00:42:25,001
We'll probably punch out
a thousand days tomorrow.
625
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
We've got a one lane bridge coming up here.
626
00:42:32,001 --> 00:42:37,000
One lane bridge is in the top end, can
be quite a dangerous thing for road trades.
627
00:42:37,001 --> 00:42:38,000
That's why we call it.
628
00:42:38,001 --> 00:42:41,000
Ahead, a narrow single lane bridge.
629
00:42:41,001 --> 00:42:49,000
A collision with a 140 ton rig traveling at
100 km/h would be a deadly catastrophe.
630
00:42:49,001 --> 00:42:53,000
All trucks are expected to
communicate as they approach.
631
00:42:53,001 --> 00:42:56,000
Southbound roadtrain, one lane bridge.
632
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Southbound roadtrain, one
lane bridge, two mile creek.
633
00:43:02,001 --> 00:43:08,000
Southbound roadtrain, one
lane bridge, two mile creek.
634
00:43:08,001 --> 00:43:14,000
We've got your CV on that blue kenny.
635
00:43:14,001 --> 00:43:18,000
How late?
636
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:29,000
What revs are you doing?
637
00:43:29,001 --> 00:43:31,000
Better days alone or else still on
the road to make us lose traction.
638
00:43:31,001 --> 00:43:33,000
I've been out turning
around, now back in the end.
639
00:43:33,001 --> 00:43:35,000
We're getting up with bersou.
640
00:43:35,001 --> 00:43:38,000
We've got some old usty stuff here.
641
00:43:38,001 --> 00:43:40,000
What the f***?
642
00:43:40,001 --> 00:43:41,000
We just talked to all of you down.
643
00:43:41,001 --> 00:43:47,000
We just had a massive bang, dude.
644
00:43:47,001 --> 00:43:49,000
We really didn't need this one now.
645
00:43:49,001 --> 00:43:51,000
That's the absolute bullshit bottom line.
646
00:43:51,001 --> 00:43:53,000
Of being a solo operator.
