scotsman looks like a TYPICAL modern truck driver imo
jessicas dad:
The 2 Brits were the only ones who knuckled down and got on with the job without blowing their own trumpet about how good they were.
Yes…Until they see a crash, slow down to rubberneck…Say It ain’t my job, pull over for a 45 which becomes an hour and a half.(Cos’ I’m being paid by the hour) Refuse to let other trucks pass cos they’re doing 39.5 in a 40 etc…

The jock was a ringer for Nick Revitt lol
PMSL so true
I have never been to a truck show or a truckfest but the people in this programme strike me as the kind of people you would come across at things like that.
that american made me laugh. “i’m gonna do the speed limit of 60kph”.
it’s 60mph. 
That American annoyed me from the start with his “Americans are best at everything” then he is quite clearly the worst driver there English lad seemed o.k and Scotch bloke seems pretty much normal so far
Rikki-UK:
Next week should be good , rumour has it they are moving oversized loads, nearly as wide as their wing mirrors, in a country that has roads where you go 100’s of miles without passing a house… should be difficult getting them big loads down that huge wide road with no obstacles then…
They coming to do my job then? LOL
It’ll be interesting to see if there is a UK leg and how they handle it. All this faffing around on wide Aussie dirt tracks is just comical
A bunch of lightweights! last week the coffee machine was broken for 3 days and I banged my elbow whilst un-coupling.
Just searched for Disco Stu, not sure if this is the right person but he wouldnt be the odd one out in that company of numpties.
The Worlds Toughest Trucker. Is this what the programme is called. If the clowns who made this film did their homework they could find drivers who could " do the job " not just be the quickest to get to the finish line. Sorry to sound boring but.
When in my youth driving along a certain route from the UK to Terhan, Oman, Doha,ect ect ( The Middle East Run ) I think that you should by now get the drift, if you got stuck, Now this could be Broke down, Borders, Money, stuck in the sand or a 100s of other reasons you got on with it.
Our now famous English toughest trucker who got “stuck” in the sand called for help to get towed out. What did we do in the “good old days” got out the shovel, with a bit of luck another Brit or cloggie “Dutchman” came along to give you a hand.
I for one would not want a title " THE WORLDS TOUGHEST TRUCKER" going on the programme so far. The 100 grand would be nice though.
Motor Mouse. For those who remember the 70s CB 
Seems to me they have several things in common, bandanas, facial hair, and the ability to come across as total bell ends.
This nonsense is crying out for a you tube spoof, an easy one, just stop every five minutes wearing a bandana and a false beard and run up and down the trailer like a lunatic.
I challenged myself to watch it for more than five minutes, I failed.

I don’t understand this. If you don’t like it don’t watch it. This applies to IRT, WTT and EST&T.You’d have to be pretty stupid not to see that this is just boggo entertainment and aimed at the general public not the type of people who come on here. Its not for hardened truckers who wish to earnestly debate the pros and cons of the Eaton Twinsplitter, its a way of people killing a bit of time after people have had their tea. The advertisers do not care that factually there is no chance of falling through the ice / spilling cream cakes / getting eaten by a croc etc. - its a tv show.
Does anybody honestly believe that any of these are worse than 99% of the absolute dogmuck that pollutes the TV schedules? These days I hardly watch any telly, I’ve seen all three of these programmes now and again but I can take them or leave them. The frothing at the mouth on here is pretty embarassing.
Posted elsewhere but still applies ^.
i dont see how hanging out a moving vehicle means you can check a crack in the rear end of a trailer with a wide load on… maybe rikki can explain this one 
at least that bloody whinger zola has gone.
I’m the worlds toughest trucker I came in last night and had just greased the fifth wheel and turned the hall light on and got grease over the cream wall the mrs went spare and I’m still alive.

No you’re not, you’re the World most selfish Trucker.
You shouldn’t be alive, so you must also be the Worlds most lucky Trucker.

.
It is standard operating rpocedure when doing wide loads not to rely on your mirrors… Every few miles your 2nd man should open the passenger door, and hang out the door as low as possible to check the load and trailer are still OK.
If the big boxy thing obscuring your rear view via the mirrors can be viewed then your OK. It is still on the trailer or only recently fallen off.
If you cant see it , then it fell off a while ago and you are about to be penalised 15 minutes
HTH
When TIR was in its infancy a driver started on the Italian run. He had never been TIR before & let slip to the old hands that he had won ‘The Driver of the Year’ competition.They ragged him so much he left the truck in tears at the top of M.Blanc & back hitched home never to be seen again.
Be careful what you wish for ?
& what about Zog & 2 mil miles accident free? Anybody ever been to Ceylon & seen the size of it? & even half of that was no-go until recently.
I wonder what the Oz drivers think of the TV boys & the dramatic way they stripped the gears?
Heckled Rotguts Or Wurst…!!! = anagram for
Worlds Toughest trucker…!!!
Who was kicked off in the end…was it p1sshead & the long suffering Oz?
nope zol and his redneck best trucker in the world buddy
Now they have something in common?
