Welcome back to another weekly Vlog! Woo! Another vlog! It feels so good to get these weekly vlogs out for you guys. In this one I depart on Monday arvo from Brisbane in a 4 truck convoy southbound from Brisbane. Long story short we lost one truck(he didn’t stop with us) and one of us broke down so we ended up a 2 man convoy pretty quickly but it felt tough as f**k for a few hours 😂 once I arrived in Sydney I loaded up then headed for Melbourne! I hope you guys enjoy this one I enjoyed making it thank you for all your support on everything we do me and my wife(mrs cross) really appreciate it! Let’s go for a drive!! #trucking #kenworth #k200 #australia #trucklife #cabover #cummins #roadtrain #vlog #brisbane #sydney #travel #truckdriver #truckdriving #convoy #melbourne #getpaidtotravel - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Enjoy the early upload guys I thought I scheduled it for 5pm, apparently not 🤦♂️ #amateur
43 years driving in the states. Retired year ago. Owned my own truck most of them years. Did over road 10 years but last 33 was local, hauling gas. Home every night. Biggest wish was that I would be able to come down there and truck a little with you guys. Never happened. I love watching all the Australian trucking shows when I can. Farming now. Wish I love. That’s how I started life. lol. Take care young man. Always hug the little one. They may grow fast. Take care
There’s a lot of us motor racing fans and truckies that have total respect for Don Watson Transport.
It must of been an impressive sight seeing the convoy of fleet units on the road.
Finished near where I live, Chiltern. We see you guys from our back porch go by North and Soith bound, lit up like Christmas trees at night. We can hear you on a still night but used to it now. Give us a toot sometime.
No worries mate can I see you house from the road?
@@crossfamilytrucking only if you knew what to look for, goes out of view in a flash
Mate, regarding your trailer lights. Old mate on The Homeless Trucky had a fix. He used a phillips head screwdriver to slightly spread the fingers on the centre pin on the plug on the trailer plug so you get good contact when you plug the electrics in. Hope that helps
Haha, Isaw that too and you saved mementioning. Works on your caravan plugs too.
Another excellent vlog, enjoyed the convoy, reminded me of when you used to see QFM trucks heading north.
Keep up the excellent work and safe travels.
As you 4 trucks were going down Sydney we were coming up from Sydney we noticed the donys convoy great work guys
Cheers brother what were you driving?
Awesome channel bro ! Mint 👌
How do you like the guardian? Have one in the trucks I drive and can't even scratch your head or laugh without it going off. And it'd be nice to tow a b-double less tyres to check. Good onya mate drive safe
I don’t mind it mate i do a lot of day driving so hardly any yawns to set it off
Love the video....brings back memories trucking in b.c. Canada...👍🇨🇦
Cheers mate thanks for watching 👍
Awesome video. Its great to know what its really like vs the ambulance chasing media doing stories on the "dodgey truckie". Kudos to you, safe travels and best wishes to you and your family!
Cheers mate appreciate it 👍
Nice one mate can’t believe how many trucks were parked up at that BP mate
That servo is always packed.
Awesome video mate
Nice vid, cool seeing something a bit different. Was a good mix of pov and facetime. Don't know about those jandals though mate, that was such a kiwi thing to do! hahaha
Awesome stuff mate, stay safe out there.👍⚡👍💪💪
Cheers brother 👍
Great videos, squeaky can't help himself, I hear him every day
Hi , About your truck popping the circuit breaker .. I would check the electrical plug .. both ends where it attaches to your truck and then to the trailer and the whole cord to make sure there are no crossed wires. If you can't find it then get a new one from your depot/Maintenace mechanics. That would be so annoying and it seems to happen no matter what trailers you have, that's why I think it's the trucks electrical cord or plugs . Thanks for the video.
Another Awesome vid Bud, I loved the speed footage of you driving to get loaded near the end, I think it's called time lapse - I think. Either way you definetly do it again, maybe brisbane to gold coast in distance. Your content is On Point, so just keep pumping them out and before you know it you'll get your first You Tube Subscriber Plaque ( 100k ), I wish you luck.
Catch you in the next one.
Awesome vid brother Bringing home the bacon 🥓🥓and so humble 👍
Cheers brother 👍
Love the videos mate !!!
An idea, when you stop for your breaks and talk to the camera could you maybe put the current time where you are ?
I try and avoid adding times to the videos mate a lot of people love to pick it all apart and try and make out like I’m doing something wrong with my log book 🤷♂️ sorry mate
Great to watch mate 👍🏻
People love a look into other people’s careers/lives… 👍🏻🏁🤘
Cheers brother 👍
Got yourselves a convoy,south bound n trucking 🤙

Cheers brother 👍
I'm a non trucker from NZ with a class 5 that I got while living in Australia. It was a bucket list of mine. Never really drove but wish I did. Now my bucket list is complete. Just got my commercial pilots license. love your channel
Cheers mate sounds like you’re living it up 👍
Peter Brock Drive is a good place to split and rest up nice and quite.
I want to do trucking myself
Mate you are funny the way you use your finger when you annunciate. It’s funny. Keep up the good work.
Cheers mate ☝️👌👆🤌🤘👈
😂😂
Good on ya mate keep it safe ✌️
Cheers mate 👍
Hello from Brazil, have a great day
Nice one pal, it used to be nice traveling with a few boys, and occasionally a girl who was one hell of a driver, we'd chat and look after each other. Great vlog, nice info , funny bits. You've got the lot.
Cheers mate it’s always fun in a convoy hey appreciate it 👍
good video😊
There's a nice little spot down the road from that BP behind it there's a nice quiet street to have a nap
Will keep that in mind mate 👍
@Cross FamilyTrucking any time mate off old wallgrove Rd/ eastern Creek Rd
I have stayed there couple of times
At the BP you should have done what they do in America, take your break in the fuel island!!
Do they do that in America 😮
@@William2512 Yes, because they don't don't know how to reverse between trucks without tearing the p;lace up.
Uk truck drivers do it too.... Pain in the arse
I'm a unicorn 🦄 😅😅😅 damn near killed me
Love the videos man, just a quick question, what white sticker on the windowscreen with the 5 dots on.
It’s just for the lane departure system we have mate it’s just information about it 👍
Ahahah i knew i was going to feature in this one, as you were all leaving Hemmant you drove past me, hope you had a good few days off.
Thanks mate where were you in the video? 👍
@@crossfamilytrucking in the driveway of the neighbouring business where the dw trucks are kept in Hemmant 😉
chur bro you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and your family from a person who's loves trucks from Hamilton east new Zealand bro choice videos awesome
I saw you parked up near the Horsley Drive on Tuesday. I wasn't sure how many big cabs they have so at the time I wasn't sure if it was you or not.
It was me mate 👍
Noticed the CB chatter
Not a trucker or anything I like your story this is why I watch.
Watch a few other trucker channels from uk for entertainment like trucker Tim o and the CB not a standard accessory like au and us in Europe
Possibly a content idea buddy PG rating of course
You have a interesting story keep it up mate
I’m guessing you didn’t get to witness those two single trailer trucks like only 3 months apart tipped over on their sides entering the on ramp at 6:30? What an absolute drama it was, traffic was almost backed up to the port of Brisbane. Another day a huge overload semi was trucking a 60 tonne plant machine and it dropped through the rusty trailer at 90 km/h and dug into the Port of Brisbane motorway, left a crater in the road over a metre deep. Would of been a hectic ride.
I was stuck in traffic for one of those rollovers mate it backs up pretty quick 👍
Hey. What app are you using to track your work dairy hours? Just stumbled across your channel. Pretty good viewpoint from a driver's perspective.
Hi maté another great video
Ps have u consider have a cat 🐈 loll
😂😂 thanks brother 😽😽
Thanks!
Thanks a lot mate I appreciate the support 👍
Next time you are at truganina, please notify me. I'd love to come meet ya and give you a feed or drink travel home
after 25 years as a chef .. i want to be a truck driver now
Nice video, what that alarm that keeps going off in the cab, sometimes it’s quick beeps and other times there slower..?
Lane departure and proximity to the vehicle in front mate 👍
👍🏼
I think I passed you yesterday on the m7 without realizing until I watched your vid! Was there an oversize lowboy behind you?
Yeah mate I was in the parking just near Horsley drive 👍
Do Your own thing brother
G'day mate enjoying your videos do you prefer auto or manual? Cheers
I’m starting to prefer auto these days mate but don’t mind driving manual they’re more fun 👍
Big wheelers this gotta be don Watsons A team
might be a silly question with the autoshift but how do you change up and down gears?is it just a toggle switch?
Yeah mate just a toggle switch you can hear me pressing it in the pov shots 👍
love the content, im a local rigid driver in adelaide. I just have a question, whats the app called that has your logbook etc on it?
I use logbook checker mate 👍
you would be in hand cuffs and in side a prison cell if the police stop you here with those shoes on driving, don,t see the fosters being pack in the food baglol . good video be safe
Cheers mate 👍
Plugas are cheap you should have a 2nd pair just in case lol
Good idea brother 👍
We have the same car in the same colour
I thought it was wishful thinking to get a spot at Eastern creek
Always mate if you’re not fast you’re last in that place hey
Happy ANZAC day bro
You to brother 👍
Got featured in a video 😂 we must’ve been on different channels cause I didn’t hear your call out
I was gonna ask if you were meant to park there as well bro but I saw you back in the depot 👍
Noice!.. how many k's has the truck done?.. how old?.. wat r ya service intervals?.. just curious 😂
It’s done just over 1.1m mate not sure about it’s age and not sure if I should disclose service intervals 👍
Good driving .maybe keep in left lane more
😂 😂😂😂 that’s the biggest joke I’ve ever read
I admire your driving skills and experience. Trucks are the back bone of Australia. It's very concerning the high price of fuel to operate , tyres, ect. Plus being away from family. Your blogs are good and extremely educational thank you.
Hello Hey Hi and Howdy 👋 Hero, Waivin a Hand ✋️
Eastetn Creek is a joke to try parking up
For sure mate 👍
Just a question do you ever wash your truck.?
Hardly ever have time to mate! If I get into the wash bay in the middle of the night I will but that’s not normally the case 👍
That Easter ck bp is worse than Rocklea bp
Hi dude! Please review your home inside and out.
Do you mean my truck?
@@crossfamilytrucking no, I mean your real home
Nah mate that’s weird
@@crossfamilytrucking this is interesting
So your going to split and leave your A at BP when you have a depot 5mins around the corner.
That's a big reason why that BP is completely fukd when guys need to park for a shower and feed.
Very thoughtful of your to consider others.
🤷♂️
Another good video thank you.
You know why Aussies wear thongs. We don't have a high enough IQ to tie shoe laces. Take care and stay safe.
😂😂😂
Hi bro I have Mc driving licence and still I could not get job even Hc truck driving ,what should I do?
Keep trying brother 👍
Hey cob don Watson got Manuel big cabs?
There not all autos
I do know he has got a mixture of manual and autos , I'm 99% sure on that.
See what happens when ya don't lead the convoy ya get left behind
Ziptied thongs, ANZAC spirit - making the best out of any situation with what you've got at hand. Wonder what the rego on those thongs cost in QLD hahahah
Kmart special 10$ due for renewal soon I think 😂
They really need to F all the locals off that treat the shit as a yard. Imagine you were deadset needing your 7 and can't. Luckily you have a yard close. Its the same story no matter where you are unfortunately
I hear ya old mate 👍
you dont have roadranger license?
The red kw hes in a lot has a manual and he shifts it pretty good.
Leave him
Why can't you sleep in the depot
I could’ve mate would always prefer the side of the road though 👍
@crossfamilytrucking fair enough why the side of the road
Jandals bro not thongs! you know better🤣.
Sorry brother 😂😂
Thongs. Mate
@@patkelly6349 Jandals 😂
😂😂
@@bigneil8888 ok where are jandals Queensland’s name for thongs
Very little driving a lot of talking.Borring.
