Gday Ken, thanks for showing what you guys/gals do each week. I don’t know what it is about your videos but I’m hooked . Really enjoying how you are editing your clips, with the music and little bits of information about the towns you travel through. It would have to be annoying standing around for hours at times waiting to load/unload when you only get paid by the km?…. Great work mate . If you ever get into merchandise I will be first to buy a “ The homeless truckie” trucker cap

I never did like kilometre rate I think it is a poor second cousin to hourly. And I think klm rate rips drivers off eg,waiting times holdovers,breakdowns etc ,I think it’s just a petty way to pay blokes who have a go and robs them of a decent living. If they worked it out it would be pretty much of a muchness and I also think it’s a form of pushing a heavy vehicle driver to make their deadlines and keep customers happy. Lindsay brothers has a bad history and a lot of blood on its hands for the bad old days they didn’t get the name tip over transport for nothing,I’ve seen it for myself it wasn’t pretty. However they seemed to have cleaned up their act up to some degree,and that’s why I think klm rate is a blight on the industry and the government and the NVHR should abolish it without delay Ken,love your vids and how loyal you are to Lindsay’s keep up the good work and greasy side down,happy trails 😊
