What is the most exciting aspect of driving an 18-wheeler truck across America (or any other country)?

And personally, I love to see the changing landscape, both day to day and as the seasons change.

When driving more than 100km from your base, we have a maximum of 12 hours loading/driving per 24 hours with strict rest times during that 12 hour working day, so it takes 14 hours to work/drive those 12 hours.

We MUST have a seven hour sleep break in every 24 hours. And a normal work week is a maximum of 72 hours, followed by 24 hours not driving (working six days in seven).

Our trucks have big horsepower (kilowatts), and big fuel tanks to cope with the long distance.

And we have up to three trailer road trains (53.5 metres long) on some more remote roads. I have that licence, though I am usually towing Bdoubles or two trailer road trains.

With a Fatogue Management Certificate, that 12 hour work day can extend to 14, but with very strict rest break requirements.

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

We allow higher weights than US trucks - 42,500 kg (93500lb) versus 80,000 lb for a single trailer semi.

We have unfenced roads in many locations so have to watch out for roaming kangaroos, emus, sheep, and camels.

We use both Cabover and long bonnet trucks. I drive a nice Scania Cabover with 560hp and a 12 speed auto-changing gearbox. Comfortable and easy to drive after years of old Western Stars, Kenworth and Ford L9000s with 13 and 18 speed manual gearboxes.

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.

it takes around three days to drive Adelaide-Darwin, or around four days to drive Sydney-Perth.

It's a good life if you like your own company and have an understanding wife.

In Australia we have 22 wheel trucks as standard - three axle trailers.

Towns are few and far between so there are roadhouses in some remote areas to fill in the gaps.

All heavy vehicles (over 12,000 kg max weight) are limited to 100kmh (62 mph), even where the speed limit is higher.

We have to have enough technical knowledge to make some repairs on the road.
