G'day
from Oz
Ian Davies emigrated
to Oz 4 years ago and landed a job with a
company in Queensland driving
interstate on the eastern seaboard.
For the last 5 months he has been driving a road-train.
Ian says that the Brisbane to Melbourne run is certainly different than driving
in the UK.
And life, for Ian, in Oz, is pretty dam good.
The Truck
Kenworth T650 with a Detroit 14 litre 550 HP
The Job
Usually averages around the 5000 to 6000 kilometres a week.
Ian says:
‘
Drivers hours are a bit different out here.
I've done a fatigue management course which allows you to drive for
14 hours a day.
Rest periods are 10 hours in 24 hours with a constant break of 6
hours’
