Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This time on Outback Truckers.
2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:05,000
This hill now is very steep.
3
00:00:05,001 --> 00:00:09,000
There's this absolutely wrecking, the talk,
and the trailer, and everything around it.
4
00:00:09,001 --> 00:00:14,000
And there are three crushes,
just barely the width of the trailer.
5
00:00:14,001 --> 00:00:17,000
Yes, and buttocks.
6
00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:20,000
There's the desert.
7
00:00:20,001 --> 00:00:23,000
We've got a fire up here,
nowhere to turn around.
8
00:00:23,001 --> 00:00:25,000
Consequences are deadly.
9
00:00:25,001 --> 00:00:28,000
What the f*ck happens, is it?
10
00:00:28,001 --> 00:00:31,000
The hill goes inside, there's sh*t inside.
11
00:00:31,001 --> 00:00:36,000
Then you're oversize, it's got to cope
everyone else, it's switched on as well.
12
00:00:36,001 --> 00:00:41,000
He doesn't give a f*ck, he's coming in hot.
13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000
What's it going with?
14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Well, I'll just come up here.
15
00:00:58,001 --> 00:01:00,000
Yeah, we'll just do it like that.
16
00:01:00,001 --> 00:01:02,000
We'll get these knocked out quick.
17
00:01:02,001 --> 00:01:06,000
We're grabbing a crusher, a
screen, and a 36 ton digger.
18
00:01:06,001 --> 00:01:08,000
Fair bit of money in all the gear.
19
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,222
A little over $2 million, so
we're just going to make sure we
20
00:01:10,223 --> 00:01:13,000
do the right thing and look
after the customer's equipment.
21
00:01:13,001 --> 00:01:17,000
26-year-old Mason Parkey and his team
22
00:01:17,001 --> 00:01:19,798
have a heavy haulage
convoy of three trucks to
23
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:24,000
load and prepare for the
brutal roads of Cape York.
24
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:26,000
Hey, Mason, that machine's 2-7.
25
00:01:26,001 --> 00:01:30,000
Yeah, so we'll be three metres,
so I should've gotten up out of that.
26
00:01:30,001 --> 00:01:34,000
As team leader, Mason carries
the weight of responsibility,
27
00:01:34,001 --> 00:01:39,000
including supervising team
member and father Colin.
28
00:01:39,001 --> 00:01:40,000
Hey, Doug.
29
00:01:40,001 --> 00:01:44,000
Second and third from
the rear, both down yet.
30
00:01:44,001 --> 00:01:48,000
I'm travelling with Mason, my
second oldest son in Woody.
31
00:01:48,001 --> 00:01:52,000
Mason's definitely in charge on this
job, he's running the show for sure.
32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I'm going to go back a little,
just back to some money.
33
00:01:57,001 --> 00:02:00,000
I'm not going to call myself an expert,
but I've got pretty good knowledge
34
00:02:00,001 --> 00:02:03,000
of the roads up here and
the trek way to drive them.
35
00:02:03,001 --> 00:02:06,000
That's sort of why I've been
given the job of leading the pack.
36
00:02:06,001 --> 00:02:10,000
Although Mason is in
charge of this operation,
37
00:02:10,001 --> 00:02:13,000
it's about as good
as it's going to go.
38
00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:16,000
Colin owns the company.
39
00:02:16,001 --> 00:02:19,260
We kicked off the business
20 years ago, started off
40
00:02:19,261 --> 00:02:23,000
in towing, and then we
just progressed from there.
41
00:02:23,001 --> 00:02:25,182
Maybe Hallwich come
into play just because
42
00:02:25,183 --> 00:02:29,000
of my sons, so we're
just going to business.
43
00:02:29,001 --> 00:02:33,000
Mason does anything on the dirt,
and he does anything heavy Hallwich.
44
00:02:33,001 --> 00:02:35,000
It's horrible today.
45
00:02:35,001 --> 00:02:38,000
It's muggy, it's hot.
46
00:02:38,001 --> 00:02:41,000
It's sweating, it's only 7am.
47
00:02:41,001 --> 00:02:43,021
We've only really got
a small window to get in
48
00:02:43,022 --> 00:02:46,000
and out of weeper, mainly
because of the weather.
49
00:02:46,001 --> 00:02:49,000
If it gets wet up here, they close roads.
50
00:02:49,001 --> 00:02:53,000
We've got about a three-day
window max, I'm thinking.
51
00:02:53,001 --> 00:02:58,000
After loading the mining machinery, the
team must race the oncoming wet season,
52
00:02:58,001 --> 00:03:01,314
crossing the rutted and
corrugated dirt roads of
53
00:03:01,315 --> 00:03:05,000
Cape York before monsoon
rain makes them impassable,
54
00:03:05,001 --> 00:03:10,000
delivering the multi-million dollar
load to a business in Mossmouth.
55
00:03:10,001 --> 00:03:14,000
We're in quarrying, mainly
quarrying, and small-scale mining.
56
00:03:14,001 --> 00:03:17,000
Wet season, you know,
can last up to six months,
57
00:03:17,001 --> 00:03:20,000
so we don't want that
gear stuck up there.
58
00:03:20,001 --> 00:03:21,810
It's definitely better to be
able to do the maintenance on
59
00:03:21,811 --> 00:03:26,000
it over the wet season, so
it's ready to go for the next dry.
60
00:03:26,001 --> 00:03:28,000
Let's go back out.
61
00:03:28,001 --> 00:03:31,000
About a year, so long, Tim.
62
00:03:31,001 --> 00:03:33,000
Do you want to go to two or just one?
63
00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:34,000
No, I just want to be right.
64
00:03:34,001 --> 00:03:37,000
What have you been with us
for going on seven years now?
65
00:03:37,001 --> 00:03:42,000
Just a bit lower with the back, so I built
a bit of a ramp for it, easy to get up.
66
00:03:42,001 --> 00:03:46,000
It started just after me, and
he sort of worked his way up.
67
00:03:46,001 --> 00:03:48,000
Both of them are capable of it.
68
00:03:48,001 --> 00:03:50,000
They know what they're doing.
69
00:03:50,001 --> 00:03:54,000
Just got to try and help
out as much as they can.
70
00:03:54,001 --> 00:03:58,000
That's as far forward as I can go.
71
00:03:58,001 --> 00:04:03,000
Mason's overheating at the moment,
so we've got to try and be quick.
72
00:04:03,001 --> 00:04:09,000
All right, let's see if I **** this one up.
73
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
To cut the 100 tons of equipment,
they're using three company trucks.
74
00:04:16,001 --> 00:04:20,000
Woody in a Kenworth K-200 cabover.
75
00:04:20,001 --> 00:04:26,000
Colin in a Volvo cabover, and Mason
in the bonneted pride of the fleet.
76
00:04:26,001 --> 00:04:31,000
This is my new C509.
77
00:04:31,001 --> 00:04:33,000
Just ticked over 20,000 Ks.
78
00:04:33,001 --> 00:04:34,000
Love it.
79
00:04:34,001 --> 00:04:38,000
I don't even know where to start,
because there's a dream truck.
80
00:04:38,001 --> 00:04:43,000
Heavy spec, six-road suspension
slip in front end, planetary diffs.
81
00:04:43,001 --> 00:04:45,000
Yeah, it's a big girl.
82
00:04:45,001 --> 00:04:50,000
It's a little bit too pretty to come up
here, but it's a spec the right way for it.
83
00:04:50,001 --> 00:04:56,000
As owner of the company, Colin had
to sign the check for the $700,000 truck.
84
00:04:56,001 --> 00:04:58,000
Pretty surprising, actually.
85
00:04:58,001 --> 00:05:00,959
I never thought he'd say, "Yes, they're
letting us order one of these trucks.
86
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000
" I'm going to pick a
slide. There you go.
87
00:05:03,001 --> 00:05:05,000
That's why I got the pick on the bonnet.
88
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I bought Mason this 509 Cuge investment.
89
00:05:11,001 --> 00:05:14,000
We're mindful of that.
We've got to look after our own equipment,
90
00:05:14,001 --> 00:05:16,000
but the customer's
stuff's on the back as well,
91
00:05:16,001 --> 00:05:21,000
and definitely don't want to be
damaging the customer's equipment.
92
00:05:21,001 --> 00:05:27,000
Reputation is probably
my major focus these days.
93
00:05:27,001 --> 00:05:30,000
We've got customers
that we've had for 20 years.
94
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
It's been a mile creek bypass by three.
95
00:05:36,001 --> 00:05:40,000
Just up ahead, I've got a bridge
there, but it's only a 25-ton load limit.
96
00:05:40,001 --> 00:05:44,000
We're obviously a bit heavy in that, so
we're going to have to take the bypass.
97
00:05:44,001 --> 00:05:47,000
It's a bypass, Cape York-style.
98
00:05:47,001 --> 00:05:50,000
To avoid a rickety wooden bridge,
99
00:05:50,001 --> 00:05:56,000
Mason needs to lead the team down
an alternative track through the riverbed.
100
00:05:56,001 --> 00:05:57,000
I'll let you know when I've cleared it.
101
00:05:57,001 --> 00:06:00,000
I'll just get you to stay up
sort of at this top corner.
102
00:06:00,001 --> 00:06:02,000
Yeah, of course.
103
00:06:02,001 --> 00:06:08,000
It's pretty rough, so I'll
throw down in a second.
104
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:11,000
I'll try and pick the right line.
105
00:06:11,001 --> 00:06:13,000
It's nice and narrow down in here.
106
00:06:13,001 --> 00:06:19,000
I don't want to be cleaning the
machine up on any of these branches.
107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Just put up there, and we've
got the dump truck in behind you.
108
00:06:29,001 --> 00:06:33,000
Keeps us going, setting up the truck,
and, yeah, getting ready for a load.
109
00:06:33,001 --> 00:06:37,000
Contracting company owner,
Liam O'Connor, is under pressure
110
00:06:37,001 --> 00:06:41,000
to complete a heavy,
high-stakes trucking job.
111
00:06:41,001 --> 00:06:44,000
A lot of the equipment that we
deliver is expensive equipment.
112
00:06:44,001 --> 00:06:46,775
There's a lot of money
involved in the delivery
113
00:06:46,776 --> 00:06:49,000
process alone, so, yeah,
you have to be on your game.
114
00:06:49,001 --> 00:06:51,000
Trucking is never easy.
115
00:06:51,001 --> 00:06:57,000
The trucks have to be raw and five to six
days a week, at least, to make any money.
116
00:06:57,001 --> 00:07:01,000
The job is taking two 60-ton
articulated dump trucks,
117
00:07:01,001 --> 00:07:04,087
brand new trucks, or
over 1.2 million a piece
118
00:07:04,088 --> 00:07:08,000
from Perth, all the way
to Telfergo, on mine.
119
00:07:08,001 --> 00:07:14,000
It's a brutal journey of 1,715
kilometres to Marble Bar,
120
00:07:14,001 --> 00:07:19,000
Australia's hottest town, and then
another 400 kilometres of rough dirt
121
00:07:19,001 --> 00:07:22,738
to deliver $2.4 million
worth of dump trucks,
122
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:26,000
desperately needed
at a mine in Telfer.
123
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000
We've got 400 kilometres
of arugated dirt road.
124
00:07:31,001 --> 00:07:34,000
We've got to make sure that
we stay on the road and get there.
125
00:07:34,001 --> 00:07:37,000
The plane has waned for these
trucks for the past couple of weeks.
126
00:07:37,001 --> 00:07:41,000
It's a part of the weekend on
the road and get them delivered.
127
00:07:41,001 --> 00:07:43,000
There. Where's the case?
128
00:07:43,001 --> 00:07:44,000
Ah, there's the case.
129
00:07:44,001 --> 00:07:46,000
Here under the bunk.
130
00:07:46,001 --> 00:07:52,000
With millions of dollars on the line,
Liam's gambling on an all-island tame.
131
00:07:52,001 --> 00:07:55,000
Putting newly-arrived Irish compatriot,
132
00:07:55,001 --> 00:07:58,000
Keith Flynn, behind the
wheel of the second truck.
133
00:07:58,001 --> 00:08:03,000
We've got one of our newest
truck drivers, Sam, is Keith.
134
00:08:03,001 --> 00:08:07,000
This is going to be his first big Lord.
Definitely a bit of a challenge for him.
135
00:08:07,001 --> 00:08:10,000
I didn't start up with a Lord as
big as this, that's all I can say.
136
00:08:10,001 --> 00:08:15,000
A little bit nervous, yeah, there's
a lot bigger than what I'm used to.
137
00:08:15,001 --> 00:08:18,000
It's really up here, we're
gonna do this kind of stuff.
138
00:08:18,001 --> 00:08:20,000
It's just going to go by very fast.
139
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
We just checked the weights
and the drives, so we're 22 tonne.
140
00:08:26,001 --> 00:08:28,000
We're about, yeah, four tonne over weight.
141
00:08:28,001 --> 00:08:32,000
Legally, you're only allowed
18 tonne on your drive accidents.
142
00:08:32,001 --> 00:08:34,000
So we've got to try and
transfer some weight backwards.
143
00:08:34,001 --> 00:08:36,000
Whoa!
144
00:08:36,001 --> 00:08:38,000
We're still two tonne over.
145
00:08:38,001 --> 00:08:39,883
We've got to come up
on another plant and see
146
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:42,000
what we can do just to
get two tonne after drives.
147
00:08:42,001 --> 00:08:45,000
What about if we pull
the turntable forward?
148
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,078
Adjusting the gooseneck hitch
position on the $1 million trailer can
149
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:57,000
vary the proportion of load
weight on the truck's drive-ax horse.
150
00:08:57,001 --> 00:09:00,549
We're getting places. We're
taking the turntable out of our
151
00:09:00,561 --> 00:09:04,000
forward, we've just gotten
down to our 18 tonne, so yeah.
152
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:07,000
Care to pack it up now, get our
chain down and we should be right.
153
00:09:07,001 --> 00:09:11,000
We need to get the rod by nine,
yeah, so we're cutting the tight now.
154
00:09:11,001 --> 00:09:14,000
Our pilot is just the right, so yeah.
155
00:09:14,001 --> 00:09:16,000
We don't want to delay him.
156
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Cutting it a bit tight now, it's going to
be that after nine with delays and stuff.
157
00:09:22,001 --> 00:09:23,000
Okay, wait.
158
00:09:23,001 --> 00:09:26,000
Pilot's very parked, everyone
needs to know what's happening.
159
00:09:26,001 --> 00:09:34,000
It's just catching the rain
now, unavoidable unfortunately.
160
00:09:34,001 --> 00:09:36,000
It's Ireland every day, yeah.
161
00:09:36,001 --> 00:09:39,000
It's three hundred and forty days a year.
162
00:09:39,001 --> 00:09:42,046
Rain in the city is never
good because, well, you see
163
00:09:42,058 --> 00:09:45,000
brake lights everywhere,
so stuff starts to happen.
164
00:09:45,001 --> 00:09:47,595
You can brake as fast
as you want, but it doesn't
165
00:09:47,607 --> 00:09:50,000
stop very fast with a
lot of waves, you know?
166
00:09:50,001 --> 00:09:53,000
Shit.
167
00:09:53,001 --> 00:09:55,000
I'm a piece of metal in the rod.
168
00:09:55,001 --> 00:09:57,000
It's part of the truck.
169
00:09:57,001 --> 00:10:00,000
The damaged airlines, tires, everything.
170
00:10:00,001 --> 00:10:06,000
Yeah, this was about the day.
171
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:13,000
Let's give the chains a bit of a bang.
172
00:10:13,001 --> 00:10:15,569
Make sure everything's
seated in because, if you
173
00:10:15,581 --> 00:10:18,000
don't, it'll come loose,
going down the road.
174
00:10:18,001 --> 00:10:21,000
We've picked up some tippers
we've ordered a while back.
175
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,094
Cartage business owner and
trucker Rex Riles has just laid
176
00:10:26,106 --> 00:10:30,000
down hundreds of thousands
of dollars on new equipment.
177
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,806
They're a roll press side tipper,
very well designed, and we're
178
00:10:35,818 --> 00:10:40,000
taking them down to Laverton, and
we're going to work out and desert.
179
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,925
The brand new trailers allow
cargo to be dumped by tilting the
180
00:10:44,937 --> 00:10:49,000
trailer body to one side, perfect
for unloading gravel and sand.
181
00:10:49,001 --> 00:10:53,000
They're another big investment
for Rex and his business.
182
00:10:53,001 --> 00:10:56,000
Oh, look, there's 120 grand to 145.
183
00:10:56,001 --> 00:11:00,000
150. Rex has always got his
custom stuff, which is great.
184
00:11:00,001 --> 00:11:03,000
Well, you get off on nice gear.
185
00:11:03,001 --> 00:11:09,000
It's not just the shiny custom-built
trailers that turn Rex on.
186
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
He's brought one of his
favourite trucks to haul them home.
187
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:23,000
The Marlin, it was built in Galen, Texas
in 1995, and then they picked it up 1997.
188
00:11:23,001 --> 00:11:26,989
The ultra-rare Marlin truck
is one of only 22 brought
189
00:11:27,001 --> 00:11:31,000
to Australia, and just 20
are still actively working.
190
00:11:31,001 --> 00:11:38,000
It's on its third motor, a 550
horsepower, 15 litre, six-cylinder diesel.
191
00:11:38,001 --> 00:11:42,157
I've been in the desert, done
a lot of work. It's been a good,
192
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:46,000
all-on-a-style truck, and
I'm quite fond of it, actually.
193
00:11:46,001 --> 00:11:49,000
Thanks very much.
194
00:11:49,001 --> 00:11:51,000
Yeah, probably. See you, mate.
195
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:00,000
It's going to be a lot of challenges, rough
roads, problems with tyres and bearings.
196
00:12:00,001 --> 00:12:03,326
From the trailer
manufacturers in Darwin,
197
00:12:03,338 --> 00:12:07,000
Rex has almost 2,000
kilometres ahead of him,
198
00:12:07,001 --> 00:12:10,843
via Alice Springs and
Uluru, before hitting the rough
199
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:15,000
dirt of the Great Central
Road for over 1,000 kilometres.
200
00:12:15,001 --> 00:12:18,231
To reach his hometown,
the tiny community of
201
00:12:18,243 --> 00:12:22,000
Laverton, on the edge of
the Great Victoria Desert.
202
00:12:22,001 --> 00:12:26,000
Rex's business, Desert
Sands, is based there.
203
00:12:26,001 --> 00:12:30,000
It started Desert Sands in '89.
204
00:12:30,001 --> 00:12:33,961
They had either just been there or
whatever we needed to do to keep the
205
00:12:33,973 --> 00:12:38,000
little business going, so at the
moment, cutting water for the concrete.
206
00:12:38,001 --> 00:12:43,000
It makes me a couple of jobs to be sprouting
on me, so to try and work in for that.
207
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,906
While Rex is under pressure to get
back to Laverton and keep the dollars
208
00:12:48,918 --> 00:12:53,000
coming in for his business, he also
has another equally important deadline.
209
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,835
Trying to get back to the races
that are on the Sunday and make
210
00:12:57,847 --> 00:13:02,000
sure that the tracks are all right
for it before the horses turn up.
211
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,065
Held only once a year, the
Laverton horse races is an
212
00:13:09,077 --> 00:13:13,000
event of massive importance
to the local community.
213
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:18,000
Rex has committed to preparing
the track to make it safe for racing.
214
00:13:18,001 --> 00:13:21,000
They don't know as much as we can.
215
00:13:21,001 --> 00:13:26,000
They'll try and make sure that the
community's getting the support they need.
216
00:13:26,001 --> 00:13:30,000
I've got a few people who aren't what
know where I am and when I'm getting back.
217
00:13:30,001 --> 00:13:34,000
The imperative of getting
back there is on time.
218
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
We're trying for three ways.
That's where we want to be tonight.
219
00:13:51,001 --> 00:13:54,000
So I want to try and get in
there on the reasonable hour.
220
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,869
Still over 600 kilometres away,
the three ways Roadhouse is Rex's
221
00:13:59,881 --> 00:14:04,000
first planned stop, before continuing
towards Alice Springs tomorrow.
222
00:14:04,001 --> 00:14:07,000
We've got plenty of fuel
going and we venture out.
223
00:14:07,001 --> 00:14:11,000
From Alice Springs, we'll fill
everything up in there for the desert.
224
00:14:11,001 --> 00:14:14,000
We'll see how we go out there.
225
00:14:14,001 --> 00:14:17,000
I don't know what the f*ck I believe.
226
00:14:17,001 --> 00:14:22,000
Fuel guys decide to sh*t themselves.
227
00:14:22,001 --> 00:14:27,000
Hopefully they don't have
fuel to get us for the three ways.
228
00:14:27,001 --> 00:14:35,000
Try and pick their own line.
229
00:14:35,001 --> 00:14:38,000
It's nice and narrow down in here.
230
00:14:38,001 --> 00:14:43,000
Don't want to be cleaning the
machine up on any of these branches.
231
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
We'll start feeding it in.
232
00:14:49,001 --> 00:14:54,000
You're about to bring her out there.
233
00:14:54,001 --> 00:15:01,000
It's a little bit of a pull out.
You'll need a bit of momentum.
234
00:15:01,001 --> 00:15:06,000
26-year-old Mason Park Eye is
responsible for guiding a convoy,
235
00:15:06,001 --> 00:15:11,000
hauling over $2 million worth of mining
equipment through remote Cape York.
236
00:15:11,001 --> 00:15:15,000
You won't need a foot
to the left at any point.
237
00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:17,000
Now better safe than so.
238
00:15:17,001 --> 00:15:23,000
It's a massive contract for Mason's
company, Colpac, owned by his father, Colin.
239
00:15:23,001 --> 00:15:27,000
We offer a service and
our reputation as massive.
240
00:15:27,001 --> 00:15:30,000
I will pretty much do whatever it takes.
241
00:15:30,001 --> 00:15:34,000
If it means I've got to jump in a
truck, that's what I'll do, 100%.
242
00:15:34,001 --> 00:15:40,000
Oh, what he's taken a while, is he okay?
243
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
All clear, Russ.
244
00:15:43,001 --> 00:15:44,000
Well done, mate.
245
00:15:44,001 --> 00:15:50,000
I don't know, so that's done.
246
00:15:50,001 --> 00:15:53,000
Get back out in the road.
247
00:15:53,001 --> 00:15:57,000
I can't just hope this dirt isn't
as bad as I've been told it is.
248
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,000
F***ing sucks, doesn't it?
249
00:16:06,001 --> 00:16:09,000
Cleaning the cows and clicking on me.
250
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Now we shouldn't be doing this,
but we're going to do it anyway.
251
00:16:15,001 --> 00:16:17,000
We're going to sit in the table drain.
252
00:16:17,001 --> 00:16:19,919
There's two right up
on the road there, so
253
00:16:19,931 --> 00:16:23,000
we decide to drop
down into the table drain,
254
00:16:23,001 --> 00:16:25,380
because it's very smooth
down there, but the
255
00:16:25,392 --> 00:16:28,000
issue we've got is maybe
trying to get back out.
256
00:16:28,001 --> 00:16:33,000
Sitting in the table drains
is a bit of a rescue one.
257
00:16:33,001 --> 00:16:36,000
It's a bit softer, a bit
more shit sitting down any.
258
00:16:36,001 --> 00:16:38,000
We've got about 36 tons
sitting behind us now,
259
00:16:38,001 --> 00:16:42,000
and we're more likely to catch some of
the stuff that you don't want to drive on.
260
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:46,000
Potential of rolling
there, or load shifting.
261
00:16:46,001 --> 00:16:51,000
But, can save you a shitload of time.
262
00:16:51,001 --> 00:16:55,000
Sorry to do this to you
guys, end of the road.
263
00:16:55,001 --> 00:16:59,000
Well, just a moment, it's not
worth sitting down in there.
264
00:16:59,001 --> 00:17:02,000
Do our time sitting on the rough stuff.
265
00:17:02,001 --> 00:17:05,000
Well, you've got to
take that little wind voice.
266
00:17:05,001 --> 00:17:08,000
It's a great moment.
267
00:17:08,001 --> 00:17:15,000
Girl, we're on the Richmond.
268
00:17:15,001 --> 00:17:17,000
I'm still like a cave behind you.
269
00:17:17,001 --> 00:17:19,000
Oh, me and Dad will see
you later on sometime.
270
00:17:19,001 --> 00:17:22,000
Alright, I'll see you down there.
271
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Do you want me to jump out?
272
00:17:32,001 --> 00:17:33,000
Ah, it's open, is it?
273
00:17:33,001 --> 00:17:34,000
I don't know.
274
00:17:34,001 --> 00:17:35,000
It looks like it, though.
275
00:17:35,001 --> 00:17:36,000
Yep.
276
00:17:36,001 --> 00:17:38,000
I'm just rolling the arch river now.
277
00:17:38,001 --> 00:17:41,000
I'm going to pull up,
have a shower and a feed.
278
00:17:41,001 --> 00:17:44,000
I've just got the thumbs up from
Mason that the shower's open.
279
00:17:44,001 --> 00:17:48,000
I'm still running on time, maybe half
an hour behind, but it's not too bad.
280
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Just sort of getting
ready to start our day.
281
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,000
We're on the good call at
the final leg, wouldn't ya?
282
00:18:00,001 --> 00:18:04,000
Yeah, last stretch and a little
day tomorrow morning unload.
283
00:18:04,001 --> 00:18:09,000
Just out into the bitumen now.
284
00:18:09,001 --> 00:18:11,000
I'll be out in the front side
just to give whatty a heads up.
285
00:18:11,001 --> 00:18:13,000
There's anything coming.
286
00:18:13,001 --> 00:18:16,000
There's no really one of these prizes.
287
00:18:16,001 --> 00:18:22,000
Oh, it's f*cking pissing here.
288
00:18:22,001 --> 00:18:27,000
Well, I thought it was better down south.
289
00:18:27,001 --> 00:18:30,000
It's just f*cking pissing.
290
00:18:30,001 --> 00:18:32,000
It's got that little one
slinging right now.
291
00:18:32,001 --> 00:18:38,000
It's about to just lay
down these cars on the fix.
292
00:18:38,001 --> 00:18:40,000
Yeah, I'm just sitting here.
293
00:18:40,001 --> 00:18:41,000
I can't see.
294
00:18:41,001 --> 00:18:42,000
Ah, go roll.
295
00:18:42,001 --> 00:18:46,000
The car probably should have had
a geeze unless it was in front of it.
296
00:18:46,001 --> 00:18:48,000
Of course it went for an overtake.
297
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:52,000
I'm going to be worried about them
jamming on the brakes for any second now.
298
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Shit.
299
00:18:59,001 --> 00:19:01,000
He's mittlin' the road.
300
00:19:01,001 --> 00:19:03,000
Hit the bottom of the truck.
301
00:19:03,001 --> 00:19:05,000
That thing gets wound up in something.
302
00:19:05,001 --> 00:19:07,000
You pull off aeronines, cables, yeah, tire.
303
00:19:07,001 --> 00:19:11,000
You can just do unnatural
amount of damage really quick.
304
00:19:11,001 --> 00:19:14,000
I'm going to put up and check the load.
305
00:19:14,001 --> 00:19:19,000
Less than two hours
into a three-day journey,
306
00:19:19,001 --> 00:19:23,000
delivering over $2 million worth
of dump trucks into the Pilbara,
307
00:19:23,001 --> 00:19:26,462
Liam O'Connor faces
the possibility of serious
308
00:19:26,463 --> 00:19:30,000
damage to his seriously
expensive dry life.
309
00:19:30,001 --> 00:19:33,000
You're looking at hundreds
and thousands very quickly
310
00:19:33,001 --> 00:19:36,000
on any kind of a breakdown
with these trucks and trailers.
311
00:19:36,001 --> 00:19:40,000
Everything looks in order, yeah.
312
00:19:40,001 --> 00:19:41,000
All is good.
313
00:19:41,001 --> 00:19:49,000
Taking key to one of our newest
truckies forced a big load for him.
314
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
We've only had the latest couple of months,
so it's the first time I've been over.
315
00:19:54,001 --> 00:19:57,000
A big truck with us and big load.
316
00:19:57,001 --> 00:20:00,000
We have two or four minutes here, mate.
317
00:20:00,001 --> 00:20:02,000
This is coming past April 11th.
318
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:05,000
Sounds like there's some
kind of an accident up ahead.
319
00:20:05,001 --> 00:20:08,000
This is serious shit.
320
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:21,000
It doesn't sound like anybody's
horse, so it's the good news.
321
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And now we're aiming to get
to magnet before sundown.
322
00:20:34,001 --> 00:20:36,000
We're cutting the tights.
323
00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:39,000
It's very important that
we keep our schedule.
324
00:20:39,001 --> 00:20:44,000
It's still almost 500 kilometres to their
first overnight stop at Mount Magnet.
325
00:20:44,001 --> 00:20:48,000
We have to be after all by
sundown in a reasonable tarking area.
326
00:20:48,001 --> 00:20:52,000
We can only travel in the daylight
hours with these oversized loads.
327
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:04,000
We've still got two to three hours from
our destination, but one small misjudgment
328
00:21:04,001 --> 00:21:06,000
and yeah, things get
really messy real quick.
329
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:15,000
We've got some cats up ahead
and they can't even do anything.
330
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,000
[Music] Shit!
331
00:21:24,001 --> 00:21:30,000
What the f**k happened to you?
332
00:21:30,001 --> 00:21:35,000
The old guys decided to
shut our shell out, mate.
333
00:21:35,001 --> 00:21:40,000
We've got a few guys playing up
here, if they don't know what's going on.
334
00:21:40,001 --> 00:21:42,011
We're going to drop
bait down here, just have
335
00:21:42,023 --> 00:21:44,000
a bit of a walk around
and check everything.
336
00:21:44,001 --> 00:21:47,000
Now we're hoping to do enough
fuel to get us for the three ways.
337
00:21:47,001 --> 00:21:49,000
That's where we want to bait tonight.
338
00:21:49,001 --> 00:21:55,000
That's hot.
339
00:21:55,001 --> 00:21:59,000
Check the fuel or the tank.
340
00:21:59,001 --> 00:22:01,000
Do a little bit of fashion, mate.
341
00:22:01,001 --> 00:22:05,000
We could say there aren't shorties
if you've got a little bit of fuel.
342
00:22:05,001 --> 00:22:07,000
It's quite a relief.
343
00:22:07,001 --> 00:22:11,000
Do the marking so we can keep it on it.
344
00:22:11,001 --> 00:22:14,000
Go around the other side, do the same.
345
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
For some reason, the wires come off.
346
00:22:18,001 --> 00:22:20,000
The light held put and the wire back.
347
00:22:20,001 --> 00:22:22,000
So one problem solved.
348
00:22:22,001 --> 00:22:24,000
We've got plenty of fuel.
349
00:22:24,001 --> 00:22:30,000
And it was just the wires that come
off at the top of the gauge indicator.
350
00:22:30,001 --> 00:22:32,000
So we're right.
351
00:22:32,001 --> 00:22:35,000
We're going to have to keep moving.
352
00:22:35,001 --> 00:22:43,000
On a mission to pull a triple trailer load
through the harsh arid centre of Australia,
353
00:22:43,001 --> 00:22:50,000
Rex's 30-year-old hand-built Marmon
prime mover is testing his trucking skills.
354
00:22:50,001 --> 00:22:53,000
It was down below zero before now.
355
00:22:53,001 --> 00:22:55,000
It's actually just under half the tanks.
356
00:22:55,001 --> 00:22:57,000
So we're back in business there.
357
00:22:57,001 --> 00:23:01,000
Rex's reputation in his
hometown, Laverton, is on the line.
358
00:23:01,001 --> 00:23:04,690
He must complete over
3,000 kilometres through
359
00:23:04,702 --> 00:23:08,000
the brutally hot
desert in just four days
360
00:23:08,001 --> 00:23:11,000
to get back in time for
an important commitment.
361
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
We've got race horses
running around down there.
362
00:23:15,001 --> 00:23:19,000
So we just want to make sure
that they're running on good ground.
363
00:23:19,001 --> 00:23:23,000
Relationships are the
community I regard very seriously.
364
00:23:23,001 --> 00:23:29,000
I believe investing in the town to help
build your town and get everybody on board.
365
00:23:29,001 --> 00:23:35,000
It was about 40 out there as well.
366
00:23:35,001 --> 00:23:40,000
This time of the year is always challenging
because wheel bearings run high.
367
00:23:40,001 --> 00:23:43,000
The truck runs high, the diffs run high.
368
00:23:43,001 --> 00:23:45,000
It's a risk of breakdowns.
369
00:23:45,001 --> 00:23:50,000
It's a little bit warped.
370
00:23:50,001 --> 00:23:53,000
So yeah, sort of backed it off a bit.
371
00:23:53,001 --> 00:24:00,000
That's up.
372
00:24:00,001 --> 00:24:03,000
Yeah, we've got a bit of heat in the diffs.
373
00:24:03,001 --> 00:24:05,883
The diff, or
diff-erential, redirects the
374
00:24:05,895 --> 00:24:09,000
truck's power from the
engine to the wheels,
375
00:24:09,001 --> 00:24:14,000
replacing a diff can take days
and cost thousands of dollars.
376
00:24:14,001 --> 00:24:18,000
Yeah, it's supposed to be
about 80/85, but it's a bit hard.
377
00:24:18,001 --> 00:24:23,000
It wasn't happens as the diff heats up.
378
00:24:23,001 --> 00:24:25,000
It's too hard. They could fail.
379
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
That was a stray coal.
380
00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:44,000
We want to run our aircrafts,
we're hot in front of us.
381
00:24:44,001 --> 00:24:47,000
Well, it's not fun, yeah.
You'd have to be watching them.
382
00:24:47,001 --> 00:24:52,000
Irishman Liam O'Connor
is feeling the outback heat.
383
00:24:52,001 --> 00:24:57,000
He has less than an hour to get to
his first overnight stop at Mount Magnet,
384
00:24:57,001 --> 00:25:01,000
or risk missing his
critical delivery deadline.
385
00:25:01,001 --> 00:25:05,000
These trucks are north of one million each.
386
00:25:05,001 --> 00:25:07,000
It's been some bit of kit.
387
00:25:07,001 --> 00:25:10,000
Operators are on sideways,
costing the client money,
388
00:25:10,001 --> 00:25:13,000
and, yeah, we're losing money
when they're sitting on a trailer as well.
389
00:25:13,001 --> 00:25:16,000
So, yeah, there's a bit of pressure
to get these trucks delivered.
390
00:25:16,001 --> 00:25:23,000
Just here in time was a late start,
so it's not a bad finish to a day.
391
00:25:23,001 --> 00:25:26,000
Have a bit ease and maybe a few Guinness.
392
00:25:26,001 --> 00:25:34,000
If you want to start getting
harder as we move up along,
393
00:25:34,001 --> 00:25:37,000
so, yeah, we'll be heading
on for Mount Magnet.
394
00:25:37,001 --> 00:25:44,000
More than 900 kilometres further north,
Marble Bar is Australia's hottest town,
395
00:25:44,001 --> 00:25:48,000
where temperatures have been
known to exceed 50 degrees.
396
00:25:48,001 --> 00:25:53,000
It's a long way from the green,
green grass of Liam's home.
397
00:25:53,001 --> 00:25:58,000
I left Ireland in February 2012, but
came here and set up my own company.
398
00:25:58,001 --> 00:26:00,000
Nothing and other doors.
399
00:26:00,001 --> 00:26:03,000
Yeah, it's just been a
constant battle, I guess.
400
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
I drive the truck because I enjoy it.
401
00:26:07,001 --> 00:26:08,000
It's up new to me.
402
00:26:08,001 --> 00:26:11,000
It's up and I wouldn't have done back on.
403
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:26,000
We'll be travelling through the
edge of Caragini National Park.
404
00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:29,000
It's a pretty impressive sight.
405
00:26:29,001 --> 00:26:31,000
As we come to the top
of the steep declines,
406
00:26:31,001 --> 00:26:36,000
we would have to get our gear
selected and take it all the way down.
407
00:26:36,001 --> 00:26:41,000
Fifth should be our gear, I reckon.
408
00:26:41,001 --> 00:26:42,000
Keep it up.
409
00:26:42,001 --> 00:26:46,000
It's definitely been a bit
of a challenge for a teat.
410
00:26:46,001 --> 00:26:48,000
A little bit nervous.
411
00:26:48,001 --> 00:26:50,096
This truck's over 45
times empty, so it'll be
412
00:26:50,097 --> 00:26:53,000
a lot of weight, so it'll
push on its own hood.
413
00:26:53,001 --> 00:26:56,000
It's the main thing, it's
just watching tires blow out.
414
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:09,000
♪
415
00:27:09,001 --> 00:27:12,000
Halfway down, so yeah,
we're over the worst of it.
416
00:27:12,001 --> 00:27:18,000
Just got through the
Caragini National Park.
417
00:27:18,001 --> 00:27:20,000
It's a lovely place to drive through.
418
00:27:20,001 --> 00:27:26,000
Getting thoughts out of
the dirt road to Maverick Bar.
419
00:27:26,001 --> 00:27:28,000
We're just going to ride down.
420
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
And we better start
pulling our back now, Dave.
421
00:27:31,001 --> 00:27:33,000
It's about to get fun.
422
00:27:33,001 --> 00:27:34,001
Yeah, I'll be up.
423
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Just absolutely wrecking the truck
and the trailer and everything around it.
424
00:27:51,001 --> 00:27:56,000
How would you drive the backpacks?
425
00:27:56,001 --> 00:27:57,000
This is a bit wrong, eh?
426
00:27:57,001 --> 00:27:58,000
Yep.
427
00:27:58,001 --> 00:28:01,000
It's pretty different to what the
boys at home will be dealing with.
428
00:28:01,001 --> 00:28:04,000
I wouldn't say them
any dirt roads like this.
429
00:28:04,001 --> 00:28:08,000
This kind of road just knocks the
ears out of the truck and the trailer.
430
00:28:08,001 --> 00:28:09,000
And myself.
431
00:28:09,001 --> 00:28:14,000
Try and find any smooth
path to where you can.
432
00:28:14,001 --> 00:28:17,000
Minimize the cartagation
in the mountain in the bay.
433
00:28:17,001 --> 00:28:22,000
Otherwise, things are
just going to fall apart.
434
00:28:22,001 --> 00:28:26,000
It's worse than I expected.
435
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000
We're just coming into an
Arab pre-class in here and on.
436
00:28:33,001 --> 00:28:35,000
It's just barely the way to the trailer.
437
00:28:35,001 --> 00:28:38,000
No room for stepping off here.
438
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:48,000
The trailer was any wider.
439
00:28:48,001 --> 00:28:49,000
We wouldn't have got you.
440
00:28:49,001 --> 00:28:52,000
You've got a type one here and I'll keep.
441
00:28:52,001 --> 00:28:53,000
Yeah, I got that.
442
00:28:53,001 --> 00:28:55,000
I'm even nervous.
443
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
That's it. I'm done.
444
00:29:00,001 --> 00:29:07,000
I've got a bit of a hill here, all right.
445
00:29:07,001 --> 00:29:12,000
The ship can go around here with me because
this hill now is very steep, so yeah.
446
00:29:12,001 --> 00:29:15,000
Loose drone and turn messy very quick.
447
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Shit, man.
448
00:29:25,001 --> 00:29:27,000
The tracks are spinning on the hill.
449
00:29:27,001 --> 00:29:29,000
Strobe them to get traction.
450
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:38,000
I bet this car would have
taken up there that quick.
451
00:29:38,001 --> 00:29:42,331
We've just got to always
keep the train for car driver,
452
00:29:42,332 --> 00:29:46,000
or fellow truck driver, to just
do the dumbest thing ever.
453
00:29:46,001 --> 00:29:50,000
I'm just glad that they've all
got their lights on for once.
454
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
That was bloody short-lived.
455
00:29:58,001 --> 00:30:00,000
That was a bit of a funny one.
456
00:30:00,001 --> 00:30:02,000
It was solid rain for about five minutes.
457
00:30:02,001 --> 00:30:04,000
Now absolutely nothing.
458
00:30:04,001 --> 00:30:08,000
Mason Park Eye and his
team are on their second day,
459
00:30:08,001 --> 00:30:10,878
hauling over two million
dollars worth of oversized
460
00:30:10,879 --> 00:30:15,000
mining equipment out of the
remote Cape York Outback.
461
00:30:15,001 --> 00:30:20,000
We've just got a few hours up the
road and we sort of back the civilisation.
462
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
It's got a cow, like just
over our left fog line dead.
463
00:30:25,001 --> 00:30:27,000
Play there, stay.
464
00:30:27,001 --> 00:30:29,000
What are you going to do, bud?
465
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:39,000
I'm just going to figure out what
I want to do there for a second.
466
00:30:39,001 --> 00:30:40,000
That's a shot.
467
00:30:40,001 --> 00:30:42,000
He's fucking thinking.
468
00:30:42,001 --> 00:30:44,000
Modern, checking out the pig on the bottom.
469
00:30:44,001 --> 00:30:47,000
Trusted with leading the convoy,
470
00:30:47,001 --> 00:30:54,000
Mason is also responsible for a
sparkling new $700,000 company truck.
471
00:30:54,001 --> 00:30:56,000
This is my dream truck.
472
00:30:56,001 --> 00:30:58,000
Nice clean floor, Matt.
473
00:30:58,001 --> 00:30:59,000
It's a towel on the floor.
474
00:30:59,001 --> 00:31:00,000
That's an operator.
475
00:31:00,001 --> 00:31:02,000
We don't have dirty floors.
476
00:31:02,001 --> 00:31:05,000
It's your pride and joy,
you've got to look after it.
477
00:31:05,001 --> 00:31:06,000
It's a bit embarrassing.
478
00:31:06,001 --> 00:31:09,000
Every day I'm going to get
caught up and just staring at it.
479
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:11,000
I mean you can't blame
me, look at the thing.
480
00:31:11,001 --> 00:31:12,001
Pretty beautiful.
481
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
We're parked up for the night.
482
00:31:20,001 --> 00:31:22,000
Gonna have a couple of beers.
483
00:31:22,001 --> 00:31:24,000
Gonna kick the barbie in the guts.
484
00:31:24,001 --> 00:31:26,000
Some jobs better than others, aren't they?
485
00:31:26,001 --> 00:31:28,000
You want to chuck the steak on, would you?
486
00:31:28,001 --> 00:31:30,000
Oh, look at that.
487
00:31:30,001 --> 00:31:32,000
This is living.
488
00:31:32,001 --> 00:31:33,001

When you're doing oversides like this,

There's no safety ramps up here.

you've gone straight
down the side of that cliff.
509

When you're oversize, just got to give
everybody else as much room as possible
510

else has switched on as well.

517

What happens is the diffs

we're in a spot of boiler.

Yeah, I know.

We'll get into some maintenance on it,
