road training from wa to queensland

[cwolf]

no probs thanks again.
the volvos got 2x 750 litre tanks and depending on load
can get between 1500 and 2000k range
but it's still new and should get better as it loosens up.

You could nearly avoid filling up in Victoria altogether and save the boss some dollars by not spending it on our over priced shitty fuel. (actually fuel is shit everywhere in the country apparently so it will just save money filling up here not on the shitty fuel )

 

[cwolf]

Yeeha ! finally loaded and pointing in the right direction ! !
thanks for directional advice krafty worked out well.
better than flying blind like usuall
just left sale

 

[KraftyPg]

I'll wave to you in about 30 mins.

Have a good trip

 

[cwolf]

hooked up again at broken hill and heading for the hills.

 

[KraftyPg]

Whats the thing on the arse end of the rear trailer?

 

[cwolf]

Whats the thing on the arse end of the rear trailer?

it's a scaffold basket. Has a lift point on each corner and a 4 leg lifting cable attached.
came from a bankrupt auction to get made would be around $40000 so worth the effort in transporting it.

 

[KraftyPg]

Ah fair enough, just goes to show that on any given day there is all manner of shit being transported on the highways.

Only another 2 days or so and you'll be home...looking forward to it yet?

 

[cwolf]

am i what !!!
I've already organised a barbi with some friends for the weekend.
Then i've got the usuall shit to take care of lawn, gardens etc. As well as go and pick up another D21 for parts, change the clutch in my evo as well as a million other things i expect.

 

[KraftyPg]

Geez bugger all that just keep on driving

 

[4.0lt]

jeez Krafty.... Sale is nowhere near as bad as Moe anyway cwolf have a good trip wave as you go through Mandurah.

 

[KraftyPg]

Don't bet on it, Moe idiots go to bed after 2am and Moe idiots don't purposely destroy the town they live in, they might destroy surrounding towns but not their own like Sale idiots do.

 

[cwolf]

and you know the funniest part of the whole saga . . . . The load that i took over has to come back again in about 4-5 weeks once they've done their job.

 

[KraftyPg]

So do you have to come and get it or is it up to the mob using it to get it home?

 

[cwolf]

they want us to do it but all depends on us getting another load to take over.
boss needs to make some phone calls.
i already opened my mouth and said i'd do it.
When the stuff comes back they've got a contract to send a heap
of the concrete things they're making to karratha.
53 road trains worth apparently.
Should keep us busy for awhile.

 

[KraftyPg]

So much for mowing that grass.

 

[cwolf]

G'day all finally arrived home today woulda been yesterday but for a couple of
small hiccups along the way back.
Hiccups called the rta and quarantine ):
i'll get more specific when i write it all up.
Arrived home to a nice surprise . . . My oldest daughters boy friend mowed
all my lawns and weeded the gardens ! sweeeet !

And i'll be havin a few days off maybe even a week so will give me a chance to
catch up on some of the things i haven't had a
Chance to do . . . . Liike lockin in the hubs a going bush with me nav !

 

[KraftyPg]

Hahaha see there was a reason to have kids, that boyfriend is now allowed to come back again!
