    well done,,,of course Australia has only 21 million people and is only 15% smaller than the US,,I am wondering why since Australia is such a wonderful country with great people why did it take you so long to throw out the English and you guys still drive on the wrong side of the road,,we drive on the right to confuse the English.

    G-day mate

    Would take to much time to swap around the sides if the road thing - time better spent in the pub haha. On the other hand we get to have B-Doubles, B-Triples, and Road Trains :D

    Pre trips on that must be fun.
    Log on duty, check all the tire pressures, log off duty, take 10 hour break.

    Or WORSE. The boss says "we need to rotate those tires for maximum wear."

    We get loads like that every six months to a year up here in Montana, USA. Fewer tires so lighter. You got me beat. Never seen one with so many tires. They go up Montana Highway 12 to deliver gear to the tar sands or bakken. It's a fun road while on the motorcycle because of the twisties, so I'd bet it'd be hell for those hopefully well-compensated truckers.
