The words 'Outback Truckers' and 'ACA' tell me that it wouldn't be worth watching anyway.

Needs another clutch adjustment. Kangaroo hopping and using the starter motor to take off again. Happens when the prime contractors withhold your pay.

I think the words 'ACA' alone would be enough to say that it's not worth watching.

He's a clown that guy, saw the other week where he's a "teacher"for upcoming truckies, because he's out there doing it so he makes a good teacher, my God save us.

I'll never forget the episode where he was right up some guys clacker because he was daring to slow down for a rail crossing. If the guy had stopped he would have run into him easy as.

I was looking forward to seeing a current affair to see whats up. Being in the transport industry as a Penske Dealer i enjoy the show a lot, but that bloody turbo guy gives the industry a bad name.. yes hes that guy everyone loves to hate and makes good TV.. but come on... he took a "short cut" last week to save 500kms.. he ***** some guys freight,the trucks tires and front hub cap and radiator..but it sounds like he reneged on paying for the truck? so thats why a current affair picked it up?.. so anyhow the short cut worked out well?

I think the word they use in the trucking industry is that he's a'cowboy'?

The last episode i saw a few weeks back he could'nt even pay for his fuel at the servo and had to ring a mate to bail him out!
