Respect to the old boy Russell 😂harder then a coffin nail..

This reminds me... I've gotta rewatch the classic comedy "Bush Mechanics" God damn that show was hilarious. Especially hits when you've spent a lot of time with black fellas who live on country. As I have.

If you've never seen it, it's a must watch piece of Australian culture.

Cant believe you do this for a How do we all survive.

[budwilliams]

needs to do some maintance on this wreck!

[schadenfreude]

I find the narrated commentary grossly overdramatic. A leaking tire, or a delay from some other reason, is usually a normal part of the business of trucking, and rarely an extreme crisis.

For everyone watching, this isn't your normal Australian truck driver.

[walterarredondo]

Next time carry plastic wrap then put some of around the rim and that will do.

[johnnyallen]

Russell I can commisorate with you regarding those air start v8;s three strikes and your out

[dustinandtarynwolfe]

Just so you all know, dont put eggs in your radiator unless youre prepared to replace everything in your cooling system but the engine block. Thats not meant to be your first option, its the last.

[pommie]

wierd ?? forwhat they cost. truckers do not have small honda compressors on board along with tools

[edgarbarraca]

It sad that they dont.build superhighways in Australia 😅😅😅

Turbo shouldn't be a trucker in the first place. He is always clumsy and rough first with his truck, and second, with his client's load.

The rims in white will brake the dark side and look good
