MrsEddieBetts - look away
 
Used to do Melbourne - Brisbane mainly (20 hours over two days). Also spent a few months doing Melbourne - Perth and also 6 months driving triple road trains from Alice Springs to Darwin back when the rail line finished at Alice and the containers where unload off the train and onto trucks.
Last 15 years has been local Melbourne and Country Victoria delivering steel / reo or pre-fab concrete panels to building sites.
The European trucks have gained a lot of market here. I think as our roads have become better their market has increased. Scania and Volvo have always had a bit of the market dating back to the mid 80's. More recently Mercedes Benz has mad inroads as has Iveco . MAN is a bit behind the others but they are out there.
Last year the Euro trucks combined had most of the market but Kenworth was still number 1 . Volvo was only just behind in second and Scania fourth. Isuzu was the third biggest in the market.

I find your observations about the commercial hauler market fascinating, seriously.
 
That's a bit uncalled for.
Our captain was under attack! Apologies to anyone caught in the friendly fire.:D

Having the team named too early is quite an unusual complaint.

It seems that your captain is complaining about Turbo doing his job too efficiently.:laughv1:
 
Hit me with your rhythm stick.

I can't be bothered to search ahead, so I'm just gonna post this repeat RIGHT NOW, suckas!

Same here mate, and there's still long hours driving even if you aren't leaving Victoria.

A trip from Melbourne to Mildura for example would take around six hours.

For a contrast before we improved our road network the longest journey in Ireland, was about seven hours going from Derry right at the very top of the island to Cork down at the bottom.

Only 50km difference bt Derry - Cork and Melb - Mildura, 489km to 542km
Good comparison.

Real enjoyed Derry

I've never been to Derry or Belfast to my shame, but i'd rate the Irish cities i've been to in the following order.

1 Cork Trying to be impartial here, but it's kind of like a smaller/more charming version of Dublin. I kind of prefer the 90's and early 00's version of the city though

2 Waterford Very underrated place i find. The economic recession in the 80's as well the 2008 economic crash hit the place hard.

It wouldn't be as vibrant as Cork or Galway for example. It's a historic port city though and i find it to be very picturesque if the weather is nice.

3 Dublin Great memories of the place although there is a joke that Cork folk make about Dublin Zoo, ie the real animals are outside the cages!:laughv1:

4 Galway I live here and the old man does come from the Aran Islands after all. It's a lot smaller than Cork, Dublin and Limerick but it's a great town with a lot of charm.

The Aran Islands and Connemara being on it's doorstep is another advantage.

5 Limerick gets the wooden spoon it's not as if there's anything wrong with it as such, but i find the places listed above to be better and nicer.

Killarney in county Kerry, county Clare, and the cities of Cork, Galway and Waterford are also within reasonable driving distance.

So again there's nothing wrong with Limerick, but i just see no reason in stopping there for too long when there's much nicer places to go to.
