Overnight,
I'm with you on the twin stickers, first job when came out of the army was on the coal at Burragorang.
Bloke who got me the job always used to say, " If you miss one, go around the corner and grab another one!"
Believe me, I lost plenty!
Best thing I found after cresting a decent hill and running off the other side, drop 4 gears by simply moving the main up one!
I love them

I drove a single drive, bogie trailer Commer Perkins repowered. ( I use the term powered loosely), with a V8 Perkins on the coal at Burragorang. The pull out of Brimstone was a real chore. Low gear on the big pull. One week was enough for me. Too underpowered and too dirty rolling that cover over the black coal. I went back to a real job on the highway.
