Original subtitles

This time on Outback Truckers.

This hill now is very steep.

There's this absolutely wrecking, the talk, and the trailer, and everything around it.

And there are three crushes, just barely the width of the trailer.

Yes, and buttocks.

There's the desert.

We've got a fire up here, nowhere to turn around.

Consequences are deadly.

What the f*ck happens, is it?

The hill goes inside, there's sh*t inside.

Then you're oversize, it's got to cope everyone else, it's switched on as well.

He doesn't give a f*ck, he's coming in hot.

What's it going with?

Well, I'll just come up here.

Yeah, we'll just do it like that.

We'll get these knocked out quick.

We're grabbing a crusher, a screen, and a 36 ton digger.

Fair bit of money in all the gear.

A little over $2 million, so we're just going to make sure we

do the right thing and look after the customer's equipment.

26-year-old Mason Parkey and his team

have a heavy haulage convoy of three trucks to

load and prepare for the brutal roads of Cape York.

Hey, Mason, that machine's 2-7.

Yeah, so we'll be three metres, so I should've gotten up out of that.

As team leader, Mason carries the weight of responsibility,

including supervising team member and father Colin.

Hey, Doug.

Second and third from the rear, both down yet.

I'm travelling with Mason, my second oldest son in Woody.

Mason's definitely in charge on this job, he's running the show for sure.

I'm going to go back a little, just back to some money.

I'm not going to call myself an expert, but I've got pretty good knowledge

of the roads up here and the trek way to drive them.

That's sort of why I've been given the job of leading the pack.

Although Mason is in charge of this operation,

it's about as good as it's going to go.

Colin owns the company.

We kicked off the business 20 years ago, started off

in towing, and then we just progressed from there.

Maybe Hallwich come into play just because

of my sons, so we're just going to business.

Mason does anything on the dirt, and he does anything heavy Hallwich.

It's horrible today.

It's muggy, it's hot.

It's sweating, it's only 7am.

We've only really got a small window to get in

and out of weeper, mainly because of the weather.

If it gets wet up here, they close roads.

We've got about a three-day window max, I'm thinking.

After loading the mining machinery, the team must race the oncoming wet season,

crossing the rutted and corrugated dirt roads of

Cape York before monsoon rain makes them impassable,

delivering the multi-million dollar load to a business in Mossmouth.

We're in quarrying, mainly quarrying, and small-scale mining.

Wet season, you know, can last up to six months,

so we don't want that gear stuck up there.

It's definitely better to be able to do the maintenance on

it over the wet season, so it's ready to go for the next dry.

Let's go back out.

About a year, so long, Tim.

Do you want to go to two or just one?

No, I just want to be right.

What have you been with us for going on seven years now?

Just a bit lower with the back, so I built a bit of a ramp for it, easy to get up.

It started just after me, and he sort of worked his way up.

Both of them are capable of it.

They know what they're doing.

Just got to try and help out as much as they can.

That's as far forward as I can go.

Mason's overheating at the moment, so we've got to try and be quick.

All right, let's see if I **** this one up.

To cut the 100 tons of equipment, they're using three company trucks.

Woody in a Kenworth K-200 cabover.

Colin in a Volvo cabover, and Mason in the bonneted pride of the fleet.

This is my new C509.

Just ticked over 20,000 Ks.

Love it.

I don't even know where to start, because there's a dream truck.

Heavy spec, six-road suspension slip in front end, planetary diffs.

Yeah, it's a big girl.

It's a little bit too pretty to come up here, but it's a spec the right way for it.

As owner of the company, Colin had to sign the check for the $700,000 truck.

Pretty surprising, actually.

I never thought he'd say, "Yes, they're letting us order one of these trucks.

" I'm going to pick a slide. There you go.

That's why I got the pick on the bonnet.

I bought Mason this 509 Cuge investment.

We're mindful of that. We've got to look after our own equipment,

but the customer's stuff's on the back as well,

and definitely don't want to be damaging the customer's equipment.

Reputation is probably my major focus these days.

We've got customers that we've had for 20 years.

It's been a mile creek bypass by three.

Just up ahead, I've got a bridge there, but it's only a 25-ton load limit.

We're obviously a bit heavy in that, so we're going to have to take the bypass.

It's a bypass, Cape York-style.

To avoid a rickety wooden bridge,

Mason needs to lead the team down an alternative track through the riverbed.

I'll let you know when I've cleared it.

I'll just get you to stay up sort of at this top corner.

Yeah, of course.

It's pretty rough, so I'll throw down in a second.

I'll try and pick the right line.

It's nice and narrow down in here.

I don't want to be cleaning the machine up on any of these branches.

Just put up there, and we've got the dump truck in behind you.

Keeps us going, setting up the truck, and, yeah, getting ready for a load.

Contracting company owner, Liam O'Connor, is under pressure

to complete a heavy, high-stakes trucking job.

A lot of the equipment that we deliver is expensive equipment.

There's a lot of money involved in the delivery

process alone, so, yeah, you have to be on your game.

Trucking is never easy.

The trucks have to be raw and five to six days a week, at least, to make any money.

The job is taking two 60-ton articulated dump trucks,

brand new trucks, or over 1.2 million a piece

from Perth, all the way to Telfergo, on mine.

It's a brutal journey of 1,715 kilometres to Marble Bar,

Australia's hottest town, and then another 400 kilometres of rough dirt

to deliver $2.4 million worth of dump trucks,

desperately needed at a mine in Telfer.

We've got 400 kilometres of arugated dirt road.

We've got to make sure that we stay on the road and get there.

The plane has waned for these trucks for the past couple of weeks.

It's a part of the weekend on the road and get them delivered.

There. Where's the case?

Ah, there's the case.

Here under the bunk.

With millions of dollars on the line, Liam's gambling on an all-island tame.

Putting newly-arrived Irish compatriot,

Keith Flynn, behind the wheel of the second truck.

We've got one of our newest truck drivers, Sam, is Keith.

This is going to be his first big Lord. Definitely a bit of a challenge for him.

I didn't start up with a Lord as big as this, that's all I can say.

A little bit nervous, yeah, there's a lot bigger than what I'm used to.

It's really up here, we're gonna do this kind of stuff.

It's just going to go by very fast.

We just checked the weights and the drives, so we're 22 tonne.

We're about, yeah, four tonne over weight.

Legally, you're only allowed 18 tonne on your drive accidents.

So we've got to try and transfer some weight backwards.

Whoa!

We're still two tonne over.

We've got to come up on another plant and see

what we can do just to get two tonne after drives.

What about if we pull the turntable forward?

Adjusting the gooseneck hitch position on the $1 million trailer can

vary the proportion of load weight on the truck's drive-ax horse.

We're getting places. We're taking the turntable out of our

forward, we've just gotten down to our 18 tonne, so yeah.

Care to pack it up now, get our chain down and we should be right.

We need to get the rod by nine, yeah, so we're cutting the tight now.

Our pilot is just the right, so yeah.

We don't want to delay him.

Cutting it a bit tight now, it's going to be that after nine with delays and stuff.

Okay, wait.

Pilot's very parked, everyone needs to know what's happening.

It's just catching the rain now, unavoidable unfortunately.

It's Ireland every day, yeah.

It's three hundred and forty days a year.

Rain in the city is never good because, well, you see

brake lights everywhere, so stuff starts to happen.

You can brake as fast as you want, but it doesn't

stop very fast with a lot of waves, you know?

Shit.

I'm a piece of metal in the rod.

It's part of the truck.

The damaged airlines, tires, everything.

Yeah, this was about the day.

Let's give the chains a bit of a bang.

Make sure everything's seated in because, if you

don't, it'll come loose, going down the road.

We've picked up some tippers we've ordered a while back.

Cartage business owner and trucker Rex Riles has just laid

down hundreds of thousands of dollars on new equipment.

They're a roll press side tipper, very well designed, and we're

taking them down to Laverton, and we're going to work out and desert.

The brand new trailers allow cargo to be dumped by tilting the

trailer body to one side, perfect for unloading gravel and sand.

They're another big investment for Rex and his business.

Oh, look, there's 120 grand to 145.

150. Rex has always got his custom stuff, which is great.

Well, you get off on nice gear.

It's not just the shiny custom-built trailers that turn Rex on.

He's brought one of his favourite trucks to haul them home.

The Marlin, it was built in Galen, Texas in 1995, and then they picked it up 1997.

The ultra-rare Marlin truck is one of only 22 brought

to Australia, and just 20 are still actively working.

It's on its third motor, a 550 horsepower, 15 litre, six-cylinder diesel.

I've been in the desert, done a lot of work. It's been a good,

all-on-a-style truck, and I'm quite fond of it, actually.

Thanks very much.

Yeah, probably. See you, mate.

It's going to be a lot of challenges, rough roads, problems with tyres and bearings.

From the trailer manufacturers in Darwin,

Rex has almost 2,000 kilometres ahead of him,

via Alice Springs and Uluru, before hitting the rough

dirt of the Great Central Road for over 1,000 kilometres.

To reach his hometown, the tiny community of

Laverton, on the edge of the Great Victoria Desert.

Rex's business, Desert Sands, is based there.

It started Desert Sands in '89.

They had either just been there or whatever we needed to do to keep the

little business going, so at the moment, cutting water for the concrete.

It makes me a couple of jobs to be sprouting on me, so to try and work in for that.

While Rex is under pressure to get back to Laverton and keep the dollars

coming in for his business, he also has another equally important deadline.

Trying to get back to the races that are on the Sunday and make

sure that the tracks are all right for it before the horses turn up.

Held only once a year, the Laverton horse races is an

event of massive importance to the local community.

Rex has committed to preparing the track to make it safe for racing.

They don't know as much as we can.

They'll try and make sure that the community's getting the support they need.

I've got a few people who aren't what know where I am and when I'm getting back.

The imperative of getting back there is on time.

We're trying for three ways. That's where we want to be tonight.

So I want to try and get in there on the reasonable hour.

Still over 600 kilometres away, the three ways Roadhouse is Rex's

first planned stop, before continuing towards Alice Springs tomorrow.

We've got plenty of fuel going and we venture out.

From Alice Springs, we'll fill everything up in there for the desert.

We'll see how we go out there.

I don't know what the f*ck I believe.

Fuel guys decide to sh*t themselves.

Hopefully they don't have fuel to get us for the three ways.

Try and pick their own line.

It's nice and narrow down in here.

Don't want to be cleaning the machine up on any of these branches.

We'll start feeding it in.

You're about to bring her out there.

It's a little bit of a pull out. You'll need a bit of momentum.

26-year-old Mason Park Eye is responsible for guiding a convoy,

hauling over $2 million worth of mining equipment through remote Cape York.

You won't need a foot to the left at any point.

Now better safe than so.

It's a massive contract for Mason's company, Colpac, owned by his father, Colin.

We offer a service and our reputation as massive.

I will pretty much do whatever it takes.

If it means I've got to jump in a truck, that's what I'll do, 100%.

Oh, what he's taken a while, is he okay?

All clear, Russ.

Well done, mate.

I don't know, so that's done.

Get back out in the road.

I can't just hope this dirt isn't as bad as I've been told it is.

F***ing sucks, doesn't it?

Cleaning the cows and clicking on me.

Now we shouldn't be doing this, but we're going to do it anyway.

We're going to sit in the table drain.

There's two right up on the road there, so

we decide to drop down into the table drain,

because it's very smooth down there, but the

issue we've got is maybe trying to get back out.

Sitting in the table drains is a bit of a rescue one.

It's a bit softer, a bit more shit sitting down any.

We've got about 36 tons sitting behind us now,

and we're more likely to catch some of the stuff that you don't want to drive on.

Potential of rolling there, or load shifting.

But, can save you a shitload of time.

Sorry to do this to you guys, end of the road.

Well, just a moment, it's not worth sitting down in there.

Do our time sitting on the rough stuff.

Well, you've got to take that little wind voice.

It's a great moment.

Girl, we're on the Richmond.

I'm still like a cave behind you.

Oh, me and Dad will see you later on sometime.

Alright, I'll see you down there.

Do you want me to jump out?

Ah, it's open, is it?

I don't know.

It looks like it, though.

Yep.

I'm just rolling the arch river now.

I'm going to pull up, have a shower and a feed.

I've just got the thumbs up from Mason that the shower's open.

I'm still running on time, maybe half an hour behind, but it's not too bad.

Just sort of getting ready to start our day.

We're on the good call at the final leg, wouldn't ya?

Yeah, last stretch and a little day tomorrow morning unload.

Just out into the bitumen now.

I'll be out in the front side just to give whatty a heads up.

There's anything coming.

There's no really one of these prizes.

Oh, it's f*cking pissing here.

Well, I thought it was better down south.

It's just f*cking pissing.

It's got that little one slinging right now.

It's about to just lay down these cars on the fix.

Yeah, I'm just sitting here.

I can't see.

Ah, go roll.

The car probably should have had a geeze unless it was in front of it.

Of course it went for an overtake.

I'm going to be worried about them jamming on the brakes for any second now.

Shit.

He's mittlin' the road.

Hit the bottom of the truck.

That thing gets wound up in something.

You pull off aeronines, cables, yeah, tire.

You can just do unnatural amount of damage really quick.

I'm going to put up and check the load.

Less than two hours into a three-day journey,

delivering over $2 million worth of dump trucks into the Pilbara,

Liam O'Connor faces the possibility of serious

damage to his seriously expensive dry life.

You're looking at hundreds and thousands very quickly

on any kind of a breakdown with these trucks and trailers.

Everything looks in order, yeah.

All is good.

Taking key to one of our newest truckies forced a big load for him.

We've only had the latest couple of months, so it's the first time I've been over.

A big truck with us and big load.

We have two or four minutes here, mate.

This is coming past April 11th.

Sounds like there's some kind of an accident up ahead.

This is serious shit.

It doesn't sound like anybody's horse, so it's the good news.

And now we're aiming to get to magnet before sundown.

We're cutting the tights.

It's very important that we keep our schedule.

It's still almost 500 kilometres to their first overnight stop at Mount Magnet.

We have to be after all by sundown in a reasonable tarking area.

We can only travel in the daylight hours with these oversized loads.

We've still got two to three hours from our destination, but one small misjudgment

and yeah, things get really messy real quick.

We've got some cats up ahead and they can't even do anything.

[Music] Shit!

What the f**k happened to you?

The old guys decided to shut our shell out, mate.

We've got a few guys playing up here, if they don't know what's going on.

We're going to drop bait down here, just have

a bit of a walk around and check everything.

Now we're hoping to do enough fuel to get us for the three ways.

That's where we want to bait tonight.

That's hot.

Check the fuel or the tank.

Do a little bit of fashion, mate.

We could say there aren't shorties if you've got a little bit of fuel.

It's quite a relief.

Do the marking so we can keep it on it.

Go around the other side, do the same.

For some reason, the wires come off.

The light held put and the wire back.

So one problem solved.

We've got plenty of fuel.

And it was just the wires that come off at the top of the gauge indicator.

So we're right.

We're going to have to keep moving.

On a mission to pull a triple trailer load through the harsh arid centre of Australia,

Rex's 30-year-old hand-built Marmon prime mover is testing his trucking skills.

It was down below zero before now.

It's actually just under half the tanks.

So we're back in business there.

Rex's reputation in his hometown, Laverton, is on the line.

He must complete over 3,000 kilometres through

the brutally hot desert in just four days

to get back in time for an important commitment.

We've got race horses running around down there.

So we just want to make sure that they're running on good ground.

Relationships are the community I regard very seriously.

I believe investing in the town to help build your town and get everybody on board.

It was about 40 out there as well.

This time of the year is always challenging because wheel bearings run high.

The truck runs high, the diffs run high.

It's a risk of breakdowns.

It's a little bit warped.

So yeah, sort of backed it off a bit.

That's up.

Yeah, we've got a bit of heat in the diffs.

The diff, or diff-erential, redirects the

truck's power from the engine to the wheels,

replacing a diff can take days and cost thousands of dollars.

Yeah, it's supposed to be about 80/85, but it's a bit hard.

It wasn't happens as the diff heats up.

It's too hard. They could fail.

That was a stray coal.

We want to run our aircrafts, we're hot in front of us.

Well, it's not fun, yeah. You'd have to be watching them.

Irishman Liam O'Connor is feeling the outback heat.

He has less than an hour to get to his first overnight stop at Mount Magnet,

or risk missing his critical delivery deadline.

These trucks are north of one million each.

It's been some bit of kit.

Operators are on sideways, costing the client money,

and, yeah, we're losing money when they're sitting on a trailer as well.

So, yeah, there's a bit of pressure to get these trucks delivered.

Just here in time was a late start, so it's not a bad finish to a day.

Have a bit ease and maybe a few Guinness.

If you want to start getting harder as we move up along,

so, yeah, we'll be heading on for Mount Magnet.

More than 900 kilometres further north, Marble Bar is Australia's hottest town,

where temperatures have been known to exceed 50 degrees.

It's a long way from the green, green grass of Liam's home.

I left Ireland in February 2012, but came here and set up my own company.

Nothing and other doors.

Yeah, it's just been a constant battle, I guess.

I drive the truck because I enjoy it.

It's up new to me.

It's up and I wouldn't have done back on.

We'll be travelling through the edge of Caragini National Park.

It's a pretty impressive sight.

As we come to the top of the steep declines,

we would have to get our gear selected and take it all the way down.

Fifth should be our gear, I reckon.

Keep it up.

It's definitely been a bit of a challenge for a teat.

A little bit nervous.

This truck's over 45 times empty, so it'll be

a lot of weight, so it'll push on its own hood.

It's the main thing, it's just watching tires blow out.

♪

Halfway down, so yeah, we're over the worst of it.

Just got through the Caragini National Park.

It's a lovely place to drive through.

Getting thoughts out of the dirt road to Maverick Bar.

We're just going to ride down.

And we better start pulling our back now, Dave.

It's about to get fun.

Yeah, I'll be up.

Just absolutely wrecking the truck and the trailer and everything around it.

How would you drive the backpacks?

This is a bit wrong, eh?

Yep.

It's pretty different to what the boys at home will be dealing with.

I wouldn't say them any dirt roads like this.

This kind of road just knocks the ears out of the truck and the trailer.

And myself.

Try and find any smooth path to where you can.

Minimize the cartagation in the mountain in the bay.

Otherwise, things are just going to fall apart.

It's worse than I expected.

We're just coming into an Arab pre-class in here and on.

It's just barely the way to the trailer.

No room for stepping off here.

The trailer was any wider.

We wouldn't have got you.

You've got a type one here and I'll keep.

Yeah, I got that.

I'm even nervous.

That's it. I'm done.

I've got a bit of a hill here, all right.

The ship can go around here with me because this hill now is very steep, so yeah.

Loose drone and turn messy very quick.

Shit, man.

The tracks are spinning on the hill.

Strobe them to get traction.

I bet this car would have taken up there that quick.

We've just got to always keep the train for car driver,

or fellow truck driver, to just do the dumbest thing ever.

I'm just glad that they've all got their lights on for once.

That was bloody short-lived.

That was a bit of a funny one.

It was solid rain for about five minutes.

Now absolutely nothing.

Mason Park Eye and his team are on their second day,

hauling over two million dollars worth of oversized

mining equipment out of the remote Cape York Outback.

We've just got a few hours up the road and we sort of back the civilisation.

It's got a cow, like just over our left fog line dead.

Play there, stay.

What are you going to do, bud?

I'm just going to figure out what I want to do there for a second.

That's a shot.

He's fucking thinking.

Modern, checking out the pig on the bottom.

Trusted with leading the convoy,

Mason is also responsible for a sparkling new $700,000 company truck.

This is my dream truck.

Nice clean floor, Matt.

It's a towel on the floor.

That's an operator.

We don't have dirty floors.

It's your pride and joy, you've got to look after it.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Every day I'm going to get caught up and just staring at it.

I mean you can't blame me, look at the thing.

Pretty beautiful.

We're parked up for the night.

Gonna have a couple of beers.

Gonna kick the barbie in the guts.

Some jobs better than others, aren't they?

You want to chuck the steak on, would you?

Oh, look at that.

This is living.

Top gig.

He's got guns from Matt Cowbelline.

We've got a bloke meeting us down there in the rain.

He's going to give us an escort down.

Ahead, a narrow mountain pass.

Winding its way down along the edge of Australia's largest rainforest.

The Dang Tree.

A fog like this is the summer day.

It's not ideal, especially when you're oversized.

Yes, they're rubbing out at it.

Yeah.

He's caught up with Robbie as it's on the hill here.

He's going to get out in front of us.

He's going to want us down the range.

He's got three oversides up there, mate.

When you're doing oversides like this,

it's not really something that I'll tackle without a pilot.

You should always be careful in hills like this.

There's no safety ramps up here.

If you pick the wrong gear on this hill,

you've gone straight down the side of that cliff.

When you're oversize, just got to give everybody else as much room as possible

and then hope everyone else has switched on as well.

Yeah, I'm coming out, mate.

He doesn't give a f*ck.

He's coming out loud.

Well, that jumped up.

Yeah, we've got a bit of heat in there.

It's supposed to be about 80, 80, 85, but it's harder than what they should be.

What happens is the diffs he heats up and it gets too hot.

A bigger fail, if that happens, we're in a spot of boiler.

Just backed that off, yeah, 1500 revs, and it's got a bit of a down hill coast.

Temperous drop-macked, so it's backed where it should be, so happy days.

Rex Riles is pushing his rare 30-year-old Marmon truck to its limit,

hauling his brand-new $150,000 bespoke trailers in a desperate race to get back home,

in time to fulfill a commitment to his hometown community.

I've got to get back for the race track and make sure that's absolutely optimum.

Conditions have just come from everywhere.

A little bit behind, but we'll just keep gliding along

and hopefully we don't have any other issues down the road here.

Well, they've got gone here, what's the story?

To unturned green, shortly, I'm arriving.

A lot of years for war.

I'm not doing here scheduling in five.

This is, let's be sure.

Barley and Macbook.

Oh, no, come on, it's a breaking.

Unbelievable.

Hey, you copy in the order tank?

Is it right to follow you through?

Oh, f***, I'm just sitting here with that.

Oh, thank goodness for that.

Oh, f*** sake.

A bit of a mama cattle stand is not the causeway,

but the approach of the bridge is going to watching them.

If they get spooked, they'll just bolt across the road.

I think it's been a year of dealing with a lot of targets,

and that's the last thing you want to be looking at.

And so, if it's best really to turn up that, upset them.

Shit, you two f***ing dead.

I've spent it under hill.

I'm struggling to get traction.

♪♪

Yeah, that was tidying on.

We won't get these jobs a lot of them.

Get out of here.

A few different jobs up there.

We'll get back and see what's most urgent and get back into it.

♪♪ Shit.

You're cheap [bleep] in there.

♪♪

It's that a cow on the side of the road.

But you had his head down, grazing.

So, you just got to watch him.

So, right, you ball bar off.

I smash your grill.

I'll take out your radiator.

That's if you get off light.

♪♪

We're on the road for 12 hours.

And, yeah, I'll be looking forward to the thought up down here.

It's three ways.

And first light.

Attack it again.

A sunset.

So, just one of the components that make it worthwhile living out here.

Fast, space is clear.

Our back drives miles.

Some days, you don't even see anyone.

It's a pretty special environment, which I spent most of the life enjoying.

Just hanging down the springs and grabbed a bit of steel.

From there, we get a bit of tucker and then the water out.

They occur in the sprays.

♪♪

Mr. Watch the heat, but my hope is things can start cooling down a bit.

♪♪ Ah, shit.

We've got a fire up here.

It's got a bit of porosity to it.

It's not that far off the road, really.

♪♪

You don't want to be hand up on a fire.

And then you go, "No way to turn around.

" You're stuck there.

The consequences are deadly.

♪♪ Oh, yeah.

I'm just low.

I'm coming up, man.

He doesn't give a [bleep]

He's coming in hot.

Truck coming, Woody.

Driving his new $700,000 company truck,

26-year-old Mason Park Eye is leading a convoy,

loaded with over $2 million worth of oversized mining

equipment, down a dangerously steep mountain road.

What are you speeding, you don't, Woody?

I just knocked it back to about 17.

I felt like 27.

We haven't been down here before, mate.

Yeah, they're lucky we got Robbie out.

Yeah, I'm taking up both lanes.

♪♪

It's just one of those roads, like,

ideally you want to use it all, but you can't always win it the only one down here.

♪♪

We've just got to watch out for cars.

♪♪

You've got to hate condensation.

Everything just gets flippered.

It's just pretty steep, Eric.

You hit that little white line and she just locks up.

♪♪

[bleep]

Didn't know about that one.

Yeah, I know.

I'm at the bottom now.

Oh, that was good for the bloody heart.

Man, loads just on the right here.

♪♪

It's good for the aim sakes.

We'll get into some maintenance on it, and we'll now get it back out somewhere.

The most important thing in business, I think, is having a good relationship.

They're good lads.

That last stretch was a, I've never been down this range before,

but I think we all made it enough to know damage.

Spoke day, like, I was a little bit anxious

about going up in there because of the weather,

but I think that was just an experience on my part.

It makes it just a great operator.

Like, this, uh, business, it's in good hands.

Everything's going really well.

Just getting the last machine off.

The customer's happy, it's a good bloody awesome.

We'll finish packing up here and then sort of just move on to the next one.

No rest, that's her up.

Truck's got to pay itself off.

(LAUGHS)

When you come out here, basically throw the clock out of the window.

Yeah, right up out of the corner and there.

Draw the three dust, and that's where it acts in the sand.

Ah, shit.

There is a truck coming.

Nothing bad is expensive.

We've got 3.4 of milk.

(BEEPING)

Dickheads, put it in trailers.

Really shit small.

(BEEPING)

The places for us to pass are really limited.

Come on.

(LAUGHS)

All right, I'm into it.

Shit, there's a whole leg.

All right.
