To Issue 504 of your Deals on Wheels Magazine

By the time you’re reading this note the chocolate hangover from Easter should just about be gone and the weirdness surrounding school holiday traffic and mayhem will be settling down.

For those in the transport game, April features a number of opportunities to attend events focused on the issues impacting the industry, including two NatRoad Trucking Forums in South Australia on April 10 and 11, and the Australian Trucking Association’s Trucking Australia 2024 conference in Canberra from April 17 to 19.

Issues such as electric truck size, shape and charging challenges are sure to be on the agenda, along with the conditions of the roads, the lack of high-quality rest stops around the

country and the potential impact of the new rules around freight contracts to be governed by the Fairwork Commission.

While that’s the serious side of the game, we know a lot of our readers are more focused on the fun, the people and the trucks, and in this month’s issue we have plenty to offer.

See if you can find your truck in our coverage of the shows held recently at Clunes, Kyabram and Oaklands, read about the history of Western Star trucks and learn more about truck spotting photographer Ray Lawrence and his passion for heavy vehicles.

We have all the latest events for the calendar, and stories of restorations on a host of trucks including a classic Commer, some wonderous Kenworths, a Mack or two, and a shed full of Internationals.

I hope you enjoy the read and would welcome any feedback on what you’d like to see more or less of in the magazine on 0421 299 963 or at geoff.crockett@primecreative.com.au

Volvo's massive 780hp truck engine coming to Australia

The battle for maximum power has stepped up a notch with Volvo Trucks announcing its plans to bring its 780hp D17 engine to Australia to power a new series of FH16 models from July this year.

The D17 engine will be available at ratings between 600hp and 780hp.

The increased horsepower also comes with an increase in torque too.

The 600hp variant now offers 3000Nm of torque, while the 700hp offers 3400Nm, and the range topping 780hp option brings 3800Nm.

While the 17-litre, Euro 6 D17 engine shares similar general composition to the 16-litre engine, the extra capacity comes from an increase in cylinder bore, or greater diameter.

The new engine also includes a new fuel injection system, low friction cylinder liners as well as wave top pistons to ensure

optimised combustion. All power ratings will be compatible with hydrotreated vegetable oil.

“A world of possibilities has been built into this engine platform,” says Volvo Group Australia director of product and performance Shayne Commons.

“Highly efficient drive trains capable of using alternative fuels will be a key part of our path to net zero emissions.

“More power gives us the option of gearing our trucks for more efficiency on highway, more torque means less gear changes and more top gear time.

“However, for the person behind the wheel, the performance of the D17 engine in the new FH16 will impress, driver feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, especially in regard to holding road speed in undulating terrain. Drivers will want to drive this FH16.”

AIS BORN Star

We take a look back at the history of one of the most iconic truck brands in Australia –Western Star

Words: Kayla Walsh

Images: Western Star / Penske

Maxwell’s Heavy Haulage’s 1989 6900F

Western Star might not sell as many units as Kenworth or Isuzu, but the brand still has a firm place in truckies’ hearts.

Here, we take a look at the history of the company, from its beginnings in North America to its long love affair with Australia and where it is today.

1967

In the 1960s, there is a major difference in the style of trucks needed on the west coast of Canada/the US and in the Mid-West, compared to those in the east.

Pozzolanic

had two 1989 4864F Western Stars

Western truck operators put an emphasis on power and tare weight reduction – so for this reason, in 1967 the White Motor Company starts its Western Star division.

It is set up under the name White Western Star, with a new plant in Kelowna, British Colombia in Canada, sharing headquarters with White in Cleveland, Ohio in the US.

Production for Western Star is moved to Utah, but it is left out of the 1980 sale of White to Volvo. Instead, it is sold to Bow Valley Resources and Nova Corporation, each owning 50 per cent.

Bulk Carriers

1983

Western Star Trucks Australia is founded, securing distribution rights for Western Stars in Australia.

By now the White Motor Company is defunct, and former staff from the company bring their production expertise to Western Star, with tools and equipment purchased from White in an auction.

The first Australian Western Star is built from CKD packs at the Wacol facility in Queensland.

Heritage models 4864 and 4964 are produced from 1983 to 1989, offered with customised packages: Cheyenne, Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Mohawk, Pawnee and Navajo.

1990

Western Star introduces the Cornerstone project in a bid to reduce the cost and weight of their rigs. Three new models are produced: the 4864S, 4964SS, and 4864FX.

The pre-Cornerstone 4964 continued for heavy-duty operations.

1991

Western Star decides it needs something to compete with Kenworth’s dominant K100,

These 1992 4864Fs are certainly eye-catching

launching the 1064 Series. Based on the DAF 95 platform, using its frame and cab, it offers Detroit Diesel, Cummins and Caterpillar engines.

The Western Star parent company begins to have financial difficulties around this time, and its assets are purchased by the owners of the Australian subsidiary, Terry Peabody and Bob Shand.

1992

Western Star decide to put a halt to local assembly in Australia, and the first fully built Western Star units arrive here from Canada.

1993

The 3900e – an aerodynamic, short-bonneted truck – is introduced. The last Western Star truck is produced at Wacol facility.

1995

The Heritage 6964F is introduced, replacing the Heavy Duty 4900 Model.

1997

The Western Star Commander 7564F, based on the ERF cabover, rolls off the production line for the first time.

1998

The Constellation Series is introduced to Australia, starting with the 4864FXC, 4964FXC and 4964EXC (extended bonnet). The new cab and sleeper package offers more interior space and comfort options.

2002

More models in the Constellation Series –the 5864SS and 5964SS – are introduced. They are aerodynamic, short and long bonneted models with set-back front axles.

2003

The 6964FXC replaces the 4964EXC in the Constellation Series, and Constellation Series 4800FS (Fleet Spec) is also introduced.

2005

The 4864FXB model is released to comply with new 26m b-double legislation.

2010

The Western Star 4964FXT is released.

2011

Western Star brings toughness and lighter weight components to short BBC applications, including snowplow and mixer, with the introduction of the 4700.

2014

Western Star unleashes the 5700XE, which features a new aerodynamic design.

2020

Starting this year, the Western Star X-Series (47X, 48X, 49X) is released in Australia.

The brand says: “The X-Series breaks new ground in safety, in strength, in technology, in reliability and more importantly it breaks new ground out on the jobsite and in how the job gets done.”

2022

The 57X is released – a more driver-focused highway truck, loaded up with new technologies and safety features.

2024

In 2023, Western Star sales in Australia were down 14.2 per cent on the previous year with 182 units, so it still has a long way to go before it can compete with big players like Kenworth and Isuzu. However, the iconic brand is still beloved amongst truckies for its durability and traditional look – and remains a popular choice for restorations.

Truck sales continue to soar in 2024

Heavy and medium truck sales have dominated this month’s sales results

The sales results for February 2024 are in, and it’s recordbreaking territory for total sales across the heavy duty, medium duty, light duty and commercial van segments.

The Truck Industry Council T-Mark Data* has reported a total of 3,592 vehicles were delivered to the market this February, beating the previous record of 3,499 sales, reported in February 2023, by

Heavy Vehicles – Monthly Sales

Medium Vehicles – Monthly Sales

Light Vehicles – Monthly Sales

Scania hit fourth position in heavy duty truck sales in February

Image: Scania Australia

93. The third highest February on record was way back in 2008 when 3,017 vehicles were delivered.

The top 10 sales results, per brand, and across all categories for 2024 so far, as at February 29, are as follows: Isuzu (1808), Hino (679), Fuso (567), Kenworth (453), Volvo (434), Mercedes-Benz (251), Iveco (199), Scania (194), Mack (140) and UD Trucks (105).

Heavy Duty Trucks

With 1308 heavy duty trucks delivered in February 2024, a new record for the month has been set – well and truly over the previous record of 1,224 trucks, set in February 2023. Across the top three brands in the category, each delivered more than 200 trucks last month, Kenworth (279), Volvo (247) and Isuzu (201).

Looking at vehicle deliveries, as at February 29, 2024, Kenworth has 20.1 per cent of market with 453 trucks hitting the road, followed by Volvo on 18.9 per cent with 426 trucks and Isuzu on 14.7 per cent with 331 trucks sold so far.

ISUZU 48.8%

Medium Duty Trucks

While February had an extra day than usual this year, the total sales of 649 vehicles in 2024 vs 570 for the same month in 2023 would suggest there’s more at play in this market segment than an extra 24 hours of sales time. All up, to the end of February, there have been 1,089 medium trucks delivered, with Isuzu accounting for 53.4 per cent of those sales (582 trucks). Hino (332), Fuso (101), Hyundai (17), Iveco

10 sellers so far this year.

Light Duty Trucks

The Light Duty truck segment appears to have come off the boil a little when compared to this time last year, with 1,047 trucks delivered this February, compared to 1,280 sales in February 2023. Year to date, the segment has delivered 1,870 light trucks to market in 2024, down when compared to 2,269 in 2023 and slightly up on the 1,791 delivered in 2022. Not surprisingly, Isuzu dominates the segment with 47.9 per cent of the market share. In terms of year to date sales figures, the top 10 are: Isuzu (895), Fuso (346), Hino (269), Iveco (121), Mercedes-Benz (107), Fiat (69), Hyundai (27), Renault (17), Foton Mobility (9) and Volkswagen (8).

* NOTE: Truck Industry Council is the peak body representing all suppliers of on-road heavy vehicles in Australia. TIC members represent 18 truck brands currently on sale in Australia, plus four truck engine and major component brands.

*T-Mark is a database that compiles all trucks (that is, non-passenger carrying vehicles with Gross Vehicle Mass above 3,500 kg) sold into the Australian market that comply with Australian Design Rules. All road registered vehicles are captured, plus most of the off-road vehicles

Scania (194), Mack (140), Mercedes-Benz (138), Fuso (120), UD Trucks (98), Hino (78) and Iveco (64), round out the top 10.

Ray Lawrence hasn’t let his physical disability stop him from becoming one of Australia’s bestknown truck photographers

Words: Kayla Walsh

Ray Lawrence always wanted to be a truck driver, but with a physical disability that causes muscle weakness, he knew that wasn’t going to be an option.

The Ipswich native, 55, was born with Dejerine-Sottas syndome, a neurological condition that progressively affects his ability to move.

Lawrence transitioned from crutches to a mobility scooter in 2004, and now uses a power wheelchair.

Lawrence has been photographing trucks for the last ten years.

Image: Mick Jones Photography

But he hasn’t let his disability stop him from indulging his passion for trucks, and he’s now a well-known truck photographer.

Many of our readers will have seen Lawrence’s snaps from the side of the Warrego and Cunningham Highways, or spotted him at one of the many truck shows he covers.

“Since I got into truck photography about ten years ago, I’ve taken in the vicinity of one million photographs,” he says.

“I have almost half a million pictures saved on my hard drives currently.”

Lawrence’s father drove a truck before he joined the Air Force, and Lawrence developed an early interest in all things automotive.

His childhood love of sketching trucks grew into snapping them with a ‘point and shoot’ camera, before progressing to an intermediate camera and ultimately a DSLR.

He has honed his skills over years of practice, picking up tips from other photographers.

“I’m mostly self-taught,” he says. “But I was a member of the Ipswich Photography Society for a few years, and a joined some local camera club groups on social media.

“Like with anything, you’re never going to know everything there is to know about photography.

“I have definitely improved a lot over the years, but I’m always learning.”

Lawrence has noticed a big increase in the number of truck spotters in the last year.

“Truck spotting has really taken off - right around the country, not just in Queensland, where I am.

Lawrence recently snapped this cool truck, owned by Mills Family Trust.

Image: Ray Lawrence

“I think southeast Queensland has played an instrumental role in the rise of truck spotting.

“We have a lot of photographers here and big events like Lights on the Hill, and those events have really given photographers an opportunity to improve the quality of their work.”

Sharing his advice for up-and-coming truck photographers, he says: “Understand your camera, pick safe locations where you are out of harm’s way, and make sure that the drivers can see you – because that interaction with the drivers is what makes the photograph.”

Lawrence attends as many events as he can, with the help of his disability support worker Angela.

“I try to go to all the local shows, like Brisbane Convoy for Kids, Brisbane Truck Meets...

“We flew to Melbourne and then drove to Castlemaine for the Castlemaine Truck Show.

“Because I’m in a power wheelchair, logistically it’s a bit difficult – you can’t just jump in a car.

“It takes a bit more planning, more coordination.

“But this year, I definitely want to do more travelling and attend more events around Australia.”

He’s even taught his support worker about photography, and she’s started to take her own truck snaps.

“Angela uses my spare camera, and she’s taken some great photos!” he says.

Lawrence enjoys promoting the road transport industry through his work and says the trucking community has been very kind and supportive.

“There’s a great bunch of people in the transport industry.

“99 per cent of truckies are very supportive of what I do and enjoy seeing photos of their trucks.

“Especially the grain guys like Ambrose

and S&J McMahon’s Transport, they always share my work and say thanks.”

He says local and interstate truckies are quite familiar with him and have learned the spots where he hangs out.

“I’ve been told that they will keep an eye out for me, and that they enjoy seeing me,” he adds.

Although his dream of becoming a truckie never became a reality, he has achieved many impressive feats in the automotive space.

“Back in the late ‘80s I raced a Honda ATV – I was racing against able-bodied people, I was the only one with a physical disability,” he says.

“In 1987, I won the Australian Flat Track Championship.

“I’m a pretty determined character, when it comes to setting my mind to something.”

S&J Mahon's eyecatching Kenworth was the perfect subject for a picture.

Rounds MAKING THE

March has been the biggest month of the year for truck shows, with a number of events on every weekend

From Clunes to Kyabram Mack Muster and more, we were spoiled for choice this month, with new and old rigs making the trek and showing off around the country.

We’ve scoured the show scenes and caught up with a few truck show enthusiasts who happily travel the country to share their passion projects with others and to see what’s new in the show scene.

Powerful Peterbilt

Blue seems to be the colour of the season, with a plethora of dazzling rigs sporting the electric colourway.

Malcolm Leech’s 1992 Peterbilt VMR is no exception.

sleeper then the top of the sleeper in the cabin goes up on a 45 degree angle in grey.”

Malcolm says he was lucky that the Peterbilt was in fighting shape when he purchased it.

“All we have ever done to it was take the round fuel tanks off and chuck some square fuel tanks on it.”

“We’ve basically only changed the appearance it’s been great.”

The rig even boasts the original seats from over two decades ago, a testament to the care that goes into maintaining it.

“We spend a lot of time and weekends doing maintenance to keep it the way I want it. It’s super important.”

Malcolm Leech’s 1992 Peterbilt VMR stands out in the line-up.

Owning the truck for over 22 years, Malcolm says it used to belong to Freestones Transport.

“It used to be white with red and silver stripes, but I’ve managed to change it around a couple of times now,” he says.

“It’s a funny sort of design now. It's blue and comes right through the cabin of the

The only massive change is ditching the original Peterbilt engine for a Caterpillar, something that Malcom says is necessary for his trucks.

“I have three Peterbilt’s and they're all Caterpillars. The whole fleet is Caterpillar. When you find something good you should stick to it,” he says.

Working Western Star

Hitchcocks Haulage’s fleet is a feast for your eyes.

All adorned in a stunning blue with blinding chrome work, their 2023 Western Star 4800 stood out at the recent Kyabram Mack Muster.

Colin Hitchcock says their entire fleet is Western Star, specifically with Detroit engines.

“The truck we took to Kyabram was the very last 4800 Western Star to ever come into Australia before they cut off the Constellation series,” Colin says.

“That’s why it has the number plate LAST 48 on it.”

It’s fitted with a spacious sleeper cab and is powered by a Detroit DD15 engine that purrs beautifully.

The rig’s impeccable chrome work was all custom fitted, only the best for Hitchcocks.

“We chose custom accessories and wrapped stainless tanks,” he says.

“We even put on some additional lights and extra stainless accessories.”

Hitchcocks Haulage is a 100 per cent family-owned company that saw the brother

and sister team of Colin and Jayne purchase the transport equipment from their parents in 2005.

It’s safe to say this rig is put to good work by the duo.

Despite being such a showstopper, the rig is mainly used to tow the trailer that carries older trucks they have restored around to the shows.

If you ask us, we think it deserves just as much attention.

Blushing Bedford

One of the oldest rigs on display at Clunes was Geoff Trengove's 1952 Bedford ML.

Coming strapped with a cracking story, the rig has been continuously registered for more than 70 years now with only two owners and is still on its original plates.

Purchasing the rig in 1987, Geoff seems to have had a hard time with it over the years.

“When the original owner bought it new, he drove it and drove it. Every time the tray wore out he would just go to the truck wreckers and buy a secondhand tray and put that on it.

Hitchcocks Haulage’s 2023 Western Star 4800 is the perfect workhorse.

for your eyes the fleet is a feast

One of the oldest rigs on display at Clunes was Geoff Trengove’s 1952 Bedford ML.

“So, when I got it, there were more tray components than would normally be on there. I started to get a bit suspicious.”

This was just the beginning of what Geoff would soon find out, was a string of work done.

“A few years after I bought it, I was driving to Mildura for a club trip and it just started bucketing down,” he says.

“All of a sudden steam came out from under the bonnet and we knew that something wasn’t right.”

It turns out that the truck had various engine and water pump rebuilds, with the same old fan blades being placed back on the truck every time.

“The fan blades must have done 300,000 miles and they had a fatigue crack in them.”

Since the initial struggles, Geoff has managed to bring the old girl back to life, painting it up in the early 90’s and getting it spick and span.

“It’s faded now, but I’ve been brushpainting some of it to get it back to being presentable,” he says.

One of Geoff’s favourite things to do, back in the day, was drive it through Melbourne late at night.

“All the partygoers would get excited and get a thrill out of it, oh it was fantastic.”

Celebration CLUNES TRUCKING

There were trucks, cars and buses from the distant past for all to enjoy at the small Victorian town of Clunes in March

Words | Alex Catalano • Images | Prime Creative Media

Ahot and sweaty Victorian morning (and afternoon, and evening) wasn’t enough to keep trucking tragics, families and interested visitors away from this year’s Clunes Historic Vehicle Show.

The sign to let you know you’re in the right place

Rows upon rows of vintage trucks, cars, buses, and even machinery long forgotten to time lined the grassy fields of the Clunes Showgrounds, located 35km north-west of Ballarat along Ballarat-Maryborough Road. Instantly, walking through the gates, making sure you got your hand stamped first, the sense of community and history hung strongly in the air – even more so than the heat of the sun.

Truckies came from all over Australia, some as local as Ballarat and others from Queensland and South Australia – such is the loyal community that surrounds Clunes.

Shade may have been scarce, but the joy of those both showing off their trucks and wandering around checking out what others had brought along was anything but.

The set ups to stay cool even offered a laugh – plenty of canopies propped up by the trucks and trailers themselves and camping chairs outnumbering people.

Organiser Murray Pope had initially described the show as being for “anything

more than 30 years old”. Some of these rigs were pushing 50, 60, some even as old as 70 and beyond.

Straight out the gate was an unmissable AEC Militant 6×6, as green as it was dazzling. Restored by Warren Harris of Harris Heavy Haulage, it looked as though it could very easily still be cruising down the streets of Ballarat, despite being first built in 1954.

Wandering across the rows of trucks had your head being pulled left and right, especially when so many didn’t look a day older than new with how brightly they shone.

The numerous restorations were particularly impressive, sporting their freshly minted decals and painted chassis’ with hardly a chip or scratch in sight.

That’s not to say those showing the signs of their age were any less of a feast for the eyes. One of the oldest rigs there, a 1952 Bedford ML had one of the greatest stories behind it.

Continuously registered for more than 70 years now with only two owners, it is still on its original plates.

Some of the models scattered around the grounds were exceedingly rare and unique. Ian Watson’s 1946 Kenworth W Model was no doubt one of the standouts amongst the showgoers.

Now standing just two years shy of 80 years old, it was certainly one of the contenders for oldest on show.

While truckies flocked to Clunes from across Australia, some of the trucks had been on even longer journeys across their lifetime. Take for example ‘Bruiser’ the F761TL Brockway.

‘Bruiser’, a 1975 model, was one of 10 identically spec’ed trucks ordered for a Brockway dealer in Los Angeles, California. After working in the States for most of its lifetime, it has found its way here.

One of the more unique set ups spotted was Robert’s Atkinson 3800 International, unmissable in its bright red finish and complete with finely painted black and white decals, with the trailer to boot.

From the distance the side of the trailer looked like a proper verandah you would spot in any old country town, except it was off the side of a truck, not a cozy little shack.

Robert has fully converted the trailer into a live-in home. After 56 years driving, dipping his toes into owner-driving but never quite enjoying it, he’s retired and travels in the truck alongside his trusty little Jeep.

He leaps from show to show, place to place, staying for as long as he pleases with all the

Trucking memorabilia as far as the eye can see

Mini trucks inside, mega trucks outside

The sort of set up that’s ideal for show days

amenities you could possibly need. Robert says he’ll be in Albury next and has the whole calendar for the next 12 months laid out.

Even better than the outside may be the inside, with memorabilia as far as the eye can see. The interior is lined with posters, artwork, stubby holders, and an assortment of pictures of trucks that he has driven in the past – it’s clear that Robert’s career holds significant sentimental value to him.

For those looking to escape the heat, there was plenty to do indoors.

Food and ice cream stands were popular attractions, while there was fun to be had for the little ones with motorised miniature trucks doing laps in one of the sheds off to the side of the Showgrounds.

For a real taste of history, there was the photo display, located just off to the right of the entrance to the Showgrounds.

Housed inside were walls covered with black and white photos of trucking history not just of Clunes, Ballarat and surrounds, but Australian trucking as a whole.

Most were marked clearly with the models and owners, but some had been discovered

with little to no information about who they belonged or the work they did, shrouded in mystery and lost to time.

If you weren’t so truck-inclined, there were plenty of other old-school vehicles to give you your historic fix – buses and cars of various models and makes had their own sections to wander down.

For the real gearheads, there was even a display of some of the earliest engines, boasting an eye-boggling four horsepower. It may have been hard to convince the everyday person to give up the horse and carriage for that new and shiny technology.

When all was said and done, with raffle prizes handed out and trucks slowly making their way back out the gates, the gathered crowd made their procession to the National Hotel, past the timeless post office, the library, a quaint bookshop and a handful of sparse motels for those staying the weekend.

With a good chinwag to reminisce on days gone by on the road and beyond, it was just another precious display of history in the quiet town of Clunes.

The bulldogs were mustered in force in country Victoria last month

he bulldogs bark could be heard all across Kyabram last month, as over 181 Mack Trucks rolled out for the 2024 Kyabram Mack Muster.

Making a triumphant return after a six-year hiatus, organisers rejoiced after seeing their hard work pay off.

“We set a record this year with 181 Macks. There was about 52 of other makes of trucks there, so around 230 trucks overall,” organiser David Willis says.

“I mean we were just wrapped; it was a huge event for us.”

Macks from all walks of life graced the town, with almost every model and make accounted for.

A standout at the event was a 1988 Mack bicentennial Super-Liner.

“The bicentennial Super-Liners are pretty special trucks,” David says. “They've got a pretty unique colour scheme.”

Back in 1988, Mack thought of a unique way to celebrate Australia's bicentennial year and celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Mack Trucks down under – a limited edition truck.

“At the time, when they came out, there was only 16 of them made like that. All 16 still exists, which is quite amazing as well. But to get two of them at a show is just incredible.”

One of the organisers David Daws brought down a 1923 AC Mack that blew people away.

“We are pretty sure it the oldest surviving

Australian Mack, and it’s been fully restored,” David says.

To show off the 100-year-old rig in all its glory, it had its moment parked up at the front gate.

Also joining the kennel up the front was a couple of 2000 Centennial Tridents and the brand-new Super-Liner.

The successful event saw over 1000 attendees eager to take a peek at famous B-Model variants, F-Model cabovers through to the R-Models, Value-Liners and more.

The event also included a dinner with 165 attendees and presentations from former Mack employees – Russell Simpson and Dennis Taylor – who travelled down from Brisbane.

“There were people old and young at the dinner. Everyone was hanging on to every word they said, it was just great.”

Defying the odds by beating a seemingly endless supply of challenges thrown their way, David says he still can’t believe the support they received.

“We were honestly overwhelmed,” he says.

“We really only put the event together in about four and a half months after we had a lot of things change and cancel on us.”

Now fully back in the swing of things, start thinking and prepping for the 2026 Kyabram Mack Muster, which David says he cannot wait for.

Oaklands OUTSTANDING

Smashing records left, right and centre, The Oaklands Truck Show was a huge success

Wandering around the Oaklands Truck Show had everyone’s head turning left and right.

With an expectation of just over 75 trucks, organisers were enlightened to find 124 trucks lining up for their chance in the spotlight.

Organiser Jimmy Beale says they were blown away by the attendance.

“It was a record-breaking year for us. Before this, the most we’ve had was 104, and that was before the pandemic,” Beale says.

Chopping it up to the amazing warm weather and need for sunshine, Beale says the energy was palpable.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if next year was even bigger. People loved it, and they said they’ll definitely be coming back.”

Boasting a small population of just over 300, Oaklands had attendees coming in from all over the country to join in on the festivities.

“We had some blokes come down from Sydney, and from all over,” Beale says.

“All American Custom Chrome came down in their 1967 v8 Peterbilt with a black trailer.

“You could purchase almost anything you could think from them, and they’re keen to come back next year.”

Competition was fierce this year, with many drivers’ eyes set on taking home a trophy.

Kearney Transport managed to take home Best Fleet with their display of five Kenworth’s, and 0-2 Years Best Truck.

Stellar Transport was giddy over their win for Lights on the Hill Memorial with their 1986 Kenworth W900 SAR, in memory of Wayne Martin.

A 1998 Kenworth T900 from Willett Transport came so close to getting the big one, taking home Runner Up Truck of the Day and Best Truck 21-26 years. But it didn’t end there for Scott Willett, also winning Best Artistic Truck for their 2024 Kenworth 659.

The big kahuna at every show is always the Truck of the Show, this year taken out by JDN Transport and their 2019 Kenworth T909.

But it wasn’t just trucks leaving tracks at Oaklands, with other forms of transportation coming to share in the stares.

“There were a lot of nice cars and bikes that came for it. It was really great to see.”

Beale says some of the trucks were in immaculate condition, being worth over half a million dollars.

“Some of those trucks would easily be worth $6-700,000,” he says. “One bloke had an exhaust on his truck worth over $15,000”.

“It was just amazing to see.”

Trucks weren’t the only highlight of the event, with live music from local Albury/ Wodonga band Lucey gracing the ears of the attendees.

“There was such a big crowd and everybody enjoyed it so much. It was such a treat.”

“Now we can’t wait for next year.”

Driving MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

What better way of sharing a health message than on the sides of trucks working on our nation’s road projects?

Words: Alex Catalano

You may have spotted Altus Traffic’s uniquely designed trucks at the site of road projects across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

A traffic control company, Altus has partnered with mental health organisation The Shaka Project to display important messages across its fleet of vehicles all over the country.

The two first joined forces in 2021, with every Altus employee donning a shaka (a hand signal where thumb and pinky are extended and the other three fingers remain curled) shirt with the goal of starting the conversation about men’s mental health.

Shaka Project founder Sean Phillip first met with Altus CEO Ben Marsonet over two years ago, forming their partnership after giving a talk at an Altus site in Adelaide.

you think.” Now, the trucks are an active part of the Altus fleets and could be out anywhere on Australia’s roads day-to-day.

The ‘You Matter’ slogan is just one of the many messages The Shaka Project aims to spread through its range of initiatives, including talks and events at schools, worksites, football and other sporting clubs.

Working with Altus to add the imagery to their trucks is another way of creating a conversation starter, Phillip says.

Stigma around discussing mental health is particularly evident in men, an issue which The Shaka Project and Altus are trying to change.

“Ben started following our page a couple of years ago,” Phillip explains. “He reached out one day off of one of our posts, and I said we should do some work together. We met up over Zoom two or three times and he said I should come to Adelaide and speak at one of their worksites.

“Ever since then we’ve built this incredible relationship. We’ve done events at a majority of their sites around Australia with their traffic controllers.

“It would have been just over 12 months ago, I got an email from Ben and he said: “I’ve issued these trucks, let me know what

An Australian Longitudinal Study of Male Health report says that up to 25 per cent of Australian men have experienced a mental health disorder in their lifetime, with 15 per cent experiencing the same in a 12-month period.

“We always get messages from people seeing the trucks and it’s always a great way to start the conversation and get more people talking,” Phillip says.

“Even when they’re on the road and stuck in traffic having a bad day, they can see the trucks and get a nice friendly reminder that they matter and they have worth.

“People will be driving past and snapping a photo and sending it to us. They’ll say ‘I’ve been having a bit of a rough day and I saw this’.

“Even personally when I first saw one of

the trucks on the road, I was having a bit of rough day. I caught it out of the corner of my eye and the first time I saw it, it put a massive smile on my face.

The Shaka Project team took their message on board the HMAS Brisbane before the ship set sail for six months at sea.

“Personally, it’s made a really big impact. It’s making an impact, and that’s one thing Ben wanted to do, to try and spread that message.

“It’s really special and we’re very grateful for the relationship with Altus. They’re doing some special things in Australia.”

The trucks are just one part of the organisation though – a visible beacon of the message The Shaka Project is trying to spread.

It has taken Phillip to all corners of Australia, and even internationally. One particular highlight was getting to talk to Royal Australian Navy members about mental health onboard the HMAS Brisbane.

“It was just a whole new world. We had an incredible presentation for the guys and girls there that were just about to go out for about six months.

“It was really good to get in there and talk to them and see a different side of the world.

“The most special place I’ve been is in really regional country New South Wales, the farm towns in southern Queensland and towards far north Queensland as well.

“You get into a local footy club full of 100 people, they all know each other, they all love each other and you’re able to have a really impactful conversation.

“That’s the biggest highlight for me, getting into small communities that have really been impacted by mental health and suicide and getting in there and reigniting the conversation. The feedback we get is unbelievable.

“We went to New Zealand last year and we’re off there this year again for a few events. To take it international is really special.”

As for the shaka itself, the story behind the symbol is a simple one. It has taken on a greater meaning however, Phillip says.

“It derives from my step-son, he’s 10 years old. When he was four or five, just before I started the project, I was at the playground with him.

“He came off the slide pretty hard. I was that lazy parent, sitting about 30 or 40 metres away. I thought ‘should I go over to him, is he alright?’ He looked up at me and gave me a shaka and I gave him a shaka back. He brushed himself off and kept playing.

“I thought that was a cool way we communicated without using words.

“We find that’s the biggest thing with men and their mental health, that first communication is always the hardest.

“If we can put a shaka in front of it, say this is a safe space, you’re wearing a shaka shirt, it gives them permission to say ‘hey I’m here, I’ve got empathy and understanding about mental health. You can have a chat’.”

Klassic KENWORTHS

When it comes to Kenworth fanatics, they don’t get much more passionate than David Chapman

Words: Kayla Walsh

David Chapman fell in love with Kenworth trucks when he was just a kid, watching American TV shows like B.J. and the Bear, which featured a classic Kenworth Aerodyne. A teenage Chapman, or “Chappo” as he’s usually known now, was determined to get a job with the brand he loved – and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“I had three options at the time,” he tells Deals on Wheels. “Get an apprenticeship, join the police force, or go back to school.

“I hated school, so that wasn’t going to happen. I tried to get an apprenticeship with Kenworth, but they knocked me back.

“So, I joined the police force, but I only lasted a few weeks. I really wanted that Kenworth job, so I went up to see them in person, and they agreed to give me an apprenticeship based in Sydney.

“Back in the day, they were still assembling trucks, out of boxes basically. I started there in 1974 and they were building their last couple of trucks, even though the factory was building new ones, they still had some

bits and pieces in Sydney that they were throwing together to sell them.”

Chapman stayed with Kenworth, moving up through the ranks to become the Service Manager, until the company closed his branch down.

In 1985, Chapman set up his own business, Northwest Trucks in Tamworth, NSW, in collaboration with two business partners, Scott Turner and Michael McCormack.

He’s spent almost 40 years repairing and restoring old trucks, but never lost his loyalty to the Kenworth brand.

He teamed up with his business partners as well as motor trimmer Bruce Gunter to set up the Clarendon Kenworth Klassic truck show.

“We started a show with just three trucks around 21 years ago,” he says.

“Then we brought the Kenworth side of it in to mark 50 years since the first Kenworth was imported to Australia.

“That was when the show really started cementing itself.”

The line-up of Kenworth SAR Legends at the Kenworth Klassic, 2023

The Kenworth Klassic 2023 featured one of each Kenworth model ever built, from the yellow S model on the right up to a 2023 Kenworth K220

Last year’s event brought together about 800 trucks, around 500 of which were Kenworths, old and new.

To celebrate 100 years of Kenworth in Australia, they had one of each model that was ever built on display.

“We have a team of amazing volunteers working on the show and they pulled it all together,” he says.

“It was so much work – too much work! I don’t know how they did it.”

Chapman is now officially retired, but has no plans to get out of the game completely, and is currently in the process of building a new workshop for his colleagues.

“I’m building a big workshop so the boys can go work over there and I can just sit back,” he says.

“We’re going to do a lot of second-hand spare parts, because we’ve got yards and yards full of Kenworths.

“We’ve got basically everything from current model Kenworth back to 1929. We’ve got 30 registered on the historic rego, and

another 40 or so that aren’t restored yet, or are damaged and we’re going to repair them.”

The Kenworth Aerodyne remains Chapman’s favourite model, and he owns 17 of them.

“They built 103 of them and I’ve saved 17 from the wrecking yards. I’m nuts,” he laughs.

“I got to take one of the first Kenworth Aerodyne to the Sydney Truck Show when I was just 20 years old, which was an absolute privilege.”

Chapman also got to meet one of his childhood heroes, Greg Evigan – the star of B.J. and the Bear.

“We’re trying to get him to Australia for the Kenworth Klassic,” he said.

“Maybe not this year, but next year!”

The focus of this year’s Clarendon Kenworth Klassic is the iconic W model.

Chapman says that if anyone has a W model lying around their yard, it’s a great incentive to finish it in time for the show.

“As soon as I announced the theme of the show this year, I had about 40 private messages in my inbox on Facebook from people who have half-restored trucks they’ve been building for 20 years – me included!” he says.

“I’ve got one we haven’t even started, but I’m going to build the complete truck. It was an iconic truck back in the day. And it’s going to be ready and raring for this year’s show!”

Labour OF LOVE

For Andrew Dorling, restoring his dad’s Commer was about far more than just bringing an old truck back to life

Words: Kayla Walsh

Images: Andrew Dorling

Interstate truckie Andrew Dorling is the first to admit he’s a perfectionist – and when it came to restoring his dad Mick’s 1963 Commer, he wasn’t cutting any corners.

It’s been 30 years since Mick bought the truck, and Andrew has spent the past seven of those fixing it up as a replica of a rig his father drove as a young man.

The finished Commer finally made its big debut at the Lardner Park Heritage Truck & Vehicle Display in Victoria earlier this year –and many members of the crowd agreed that it stole the show.

“I had a lot of people coming up to me, telling me I should be proud of what I had done,” he says.

“Some people said it was better than if

you’d paid a professional to restore it.”

While Andrew was pleased to get some recognition after all his hard work, it wasn’t really about what other people thought. It was about his mum and dad.

“My mum got really crook, and in the hospital before she passed away, dad promised her that he would get the Commer going before it was too late for him,” he says.

“Then about seven years ago, dad was in a real bad accident. He ended up in hospital in a coma.

“That’s when I decided that if we were going to fulfil his promise, I needed to get on board and get the project underway.”

The Commer was in a pretty bad way when Mick picked it up in South Australia many moons ago, so he had later acquired another Commer locally with a cab and chassis in better condition. Eventually, another cab came up that was even more promising, so he picked that up too.

Andrew had his work cut out for him, replicating the striking green truck, trailer and cattle crate his dad used to drive around metropolitan Melbourne, Gippsland and Dandenong back in the day – and he was determined to keep it as authentic as possible.

The job started with Andrew and his dad pulling the truck apart and sending the chassis rails away to be sandblasted before being painted.

trailer after a lot of work

Dorling did all the paint work on the trailer and the cattle crate himself

“While we were waiting on that to be done, we got to work on the trailer,” he says.

“It was a bit worse for wear, so I got the grinder and started cutting the trailer up.

“I put new beams in the trailer, a complete new front and back, new suspension and new wheels and tyres.”

Andrew then had someone come to his shed to sandblast the trailer, before he painted it himself and added new lights and timber flooring.

He decided that if the truck and trailer combination was going to be a really accurate replica of his dad’s old rig, he needed to build a cattle crate. This he made from scratch, taking care to make it look authentic.

“I bought some rough-sawn timber for the sides,” he explains.

“Then I bought a thicknesser and ran all the timber through it to get a smooth finish, and cut the sides and put them in.”

Next up were the decks of the crate.

“Dad wanted to just put plywood in it to make it easy, but I said we needed to keep it to how it used to be in the day.

“Decks were all tongue and groove back then so I made all the decks that way. I then painted them and put sheep mesh on them.”

The trailer and cart completed, he refocused his efforts on the cab, which had to be sandblasted and have a lot of rust

The cattle crate coming together

The cabin needed to be sandblasted before painting

removed before it was ready to paint.

He wasn’t confident enough to paint it himself, so he sent it away to be done professionally, along with the signwriting.

Mick’s original Commer had “Mick’s Big Rig” written on the front, but for the replica Andrew decided to go with “Mick’s Pride” instead.

He also put his mum’s name – Eileen – on the left-hand door, and his dad’s name on the right-hand door.

“Mum’s not here and one day dad won’t be here anymore so I wanted to pay tribute to them,” he adds.

Mick, who used to own his own mechanical workshop, rebuilt the truck’s motor - a Commer Knocker TS3.

“Because it’s a ‘63 model, we had to make any parts that couldn’t be bought,” Andrew says.

“I made the mufflers, the exhaust system, the gearbox crossmember, the brake lines... “I wanted to keep everything period correct, so I made the air lines out of steel instead of nylon.”

A family friend did a complete re-wire on the truck, and Andrew and Mick got the seats reupholstered, refurbished the gauges and the dashboard, got new cables made for the accelerator, and built a bullbar based off old photos of the truck.

To Andrew’s delight, the type of mirrors that were on Commers in the 60s were still available, and the lights are also the exact same style as Mick’s old truck had.

It was finally time for the finishing touches - and the clock was ticking as Andrew had promised his dad he would have the truck ready for the Lardner Park Heritage Truck & Vehicle Display in February.

Mick was also sadly diagnosed with cancer during the process of the restoration, which added more pressure for Andrew, who didn’t want to let him down.

“The cancer is not going to go away, he’s doing chemo which is slowing it down,” he says.

“After he had his accident, I took over the labour on the Commer but he was still the brains of it all.

“I did all that labour to give back to him, to do something for him after all he’s done for me.”

Thankfully Andrew just about made it over the line with the truck, getting it roadworthy and registered just two days before Lardner Park.

“On the morning of the show, dad looked really crook,” he says.

“I was getting the truck ready - shining the inside of the tyres as well as the outside, and all the threads and everything to get it as presentable as possible.

“I was just underneath the truck, polishing it, and I looked up and saw dad.

“All of a sudden, he had a big smile on his face and a bit of power back in his body.

“And I thought to myself, it was worth it all just to see that.”

Dream TEAM

What started with one new truck, grew into a collection of nine vehicles

Words: Tiarna Condren

Images: Steve Livermore

What happens when you pair up a vintage enthusiast and a professional truck restorer?

You create an unstoppable dream team.

Doug Livermore always loved all things vintage, especially old International trucks.

While not a mechanic or truckie himself, Doug had a keen fascination with the rigs, and found himself slowly fashioning a growing collection.

His son Steve Livermore says there are currently nine Internationals displayed in a big shed on their property.

“He has a large collection,” Steve chuckled.

D-Model Internationals on show

“All of them are Internationals built between 1936 and 1941 or thereabout.

“They are all in the same model, but there are different styles. Some are large trucks; some are ute versions and small trucks.

Steve says the obsession began with Doug’s father’s farm truck; a brand new International he purchased in 1939.

“We've always been in the orchard farming business, and we've always had that truck, even now.”

“That sort of sparked dad's interest into seeing if there any other sort of similar models around and got him interested in collecting them.

“We started off with that one and got it restored. And then dad started hunting around for others.

The first truck Doug ended up purchasing was a D15 imported from South Australia.

Following the purchase, Doug had caught the bug and ended up purchasing three or four local trucks before starting to import them from the USA.

Despite his keen fascination, Doug was

not equipped to carry out the much-needed restorations himself.

“He didn’t do any of the work himself. He enlisted the help of Steve Corstorphan and his father Jim.”

Doug and Jim had been lifelong acquaintances, with Jim transporting Doug’s fruit for him over the years.

“They’d known each other for years so when Jim moved into the restoration business with J Corstorphan Pty Ltd, that’s where he went.”

Over the years, Jim and Stephen ended up restoring seven to eight trucks for Doug.

The last restoration they did together was a 1937 D35 International that Stephen Corstorphan says was almost in irreparable condition.

“The truck had been rolled and caught fire,” Stephen says.

“We had a sandblaster over, and he told me the rats had been living it, it was covered in rust and it had been burnt for sure.”

Despite the major flaws, in true Doug fashion, he was persistent in making it work.

“I ended up giving in and convinced him to get tyres to finish the truck off,” Stephen says.

With a collection such as this, many would be surprised to find out they don’t regularly make the rounds at the truck shows.

“Some of them run, but they’re not sort of drivable,” Steve says.

“I’ve got a 1971 Loadster which is a much more modern truck, but its probably the only modern one in the collection.

“In a few years, most of these trucks will be over 90 years old, so it’s a long time ago.

“I think we’ll just let them rest in the shed.”

The shed now acts as a makeshift ‘museum’ ensuring the Internationals remain in good condition, protected from the elements.

It also stands as a monument to the passion and the lives of Doug and Jim, who have both since passed away.

Mack Trucks celebrated 60 years of manufacturing in 2023, and what better way to mark the occasion than by building the biggest LEGO truck in history?

Mack commissioned professional LEGO builder Ben Craig to create a life-sized Mack

Anthem, measuring 7.03m x 3.54m x 2.55m.

It was unveiled at the Brisbane Truck Show on May 17, 2023, too much excitement.

Largest Convoy of Tow Trucks

The largest convoy of tow trucks consisted of 491 trucks and was achieved by Fier D'être Dépanneur in Moulins, France, on October 13, 2018.

The trucks paraded through Moulins before breaking the record on a closed road outside of the town.

Longest Road Train

The record for the longest road train is 1,474.3m, held by Brisbane man John Atkinston.

Using a Mack Titan prime mover, Atkinson towed 113 trailers approximately 150m in Clifton, Queensland on February 18, 2006.

Fastest Truck Wheelie

Frenchman Patrick Bourny is well-known for his eye-popping truck stunts, and he holds several world records.

According to his website, he was the first person in the world to make a truck do a wheelie! Using a modified cab, he achieved this feat during the first Truck Grand Prix, on the Circuit Paul Ricard in France.

In May 2017, he broke the record for most rear wheel 360-degree spins by a truck in one minute (four spins).

On October 21, 2000, he also broke the world record for the fastest truck wheelie when he drove his modified truck on only its rear wheels at a speed of 90km/h in Lure, France.

Longest Ramp Jump by a Truck

The longest ramp jump by a truck cab measured an incredible 50.6m.

It was carried out by an American man, Gregg Godfrey, at Evel Knievel Days Event, in Montana, USA on July 24, 2015. Gregg Godfrey also previously held this record at 15.39m.

The longest ramp jump by a truck and trailer is 25.48m and was achieved by Mike Ryan on behalf of EMC Corporation and the Lotus F1 Team in Suffolk, UK on November 6, 2014.

Top Speed Achieved by a Blindfolded Truck Driver

UK man Mike Newman has been blind from birth, but that hasn’t stopped him from achieving some incredible feats.

On October 26, 2015, at Elvington Airfield in York, Newman drove a five-tonne MAN truck at 192.63 km/h. Despite having his eyes removed at a young age due to glaucoma, the Guinness record stipulated he also had to wear a black-out helmet. David Jenkins from Jenkins Motorsport accompanied Newman in a chase car, helping him to navigate.

It was his seventh land speed record, with previous achievements including flying a plane, driving a motorbike at 143km/h, driving a boat at 149km/h and driving a car at 321hkm/h.

Longest Distance Reverse Driving an Articulated Truck

Another one for the Australians! On October 3, 2009 in Cessnock, NSW, a team of 11 drivers reversed a 19m semi-trailer a distance of 109.7km. The truck began reversing at 5.20am and finished at 4pm on the same day.

The record for Longest Distance Reverse

Driving an Articulated Truck by an individual is held by stunt driver Brett Solomano from the US. He reversed a truck and semi-trailer for 89.06 km without stopping.

Heaviest Truck Pulled by Hair

This is a record not for the faint-hearted!

On December 2, 2017, Emirati strongman Mahmood Shamshun Al Arab pulled an industrial truck, weighing more than 10,380kg, using his hair in a ponytail. The event happened in the UAE during the country’s national day.

Largest Truck Stop

This one isn’t listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, but the world’s largest truck stop is reportedly the Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Walcott in the US. It boasts 94 fuel pumps, over 300 truck parking spaces, and six restaurants.

Delight SHEPPARD’S

John Sheppard

shares the story behind two very special trucks – a 1980 S Model International and a 1987 K100E

Words: Kayla Walsh

Images: John, Tony and Rhys Sheppard

If you’re a transport operator in regional Victoria, you’ve probably heard of the Sheppard family.

A passion for trucks runs deep in their veins, and 75-year-old John Sheppard couldn’t be prouder that his son Tony and grandson Rhys have both followed his footsteps into the transport industry.

In a recent issue of Deals on Wheels, we shared how Rhys, now 20 years old, was gifted a 1978 R600 Mack by his grandad at the tender age of eight.

Restoring the truck was a labour of love for the two of them, with young Rhys pouring his pocket money into parts over the course of 12 years.

The fully restored rig is now a regular sight at truck shows in Victoria – and the sweet story behind it was a big hit with our readers.

We heard that John had a few other trucking tales to tell, so we caught up with him to find out more.

owned by Dalgety Lime Works.

His next role was with Doug Murray, carting bulk fertilizer from Portland throughout western Victoria, before spending 13 years working with Merri Transport.

In 1985 he was able to buy his first truck, a 1980 S-Model International with a 300hp Cummins, a 15 speed Roadranger box and 3.7 ratio diffs.

Then in 1994, he and his wife Lyn purchased a courier business, which they ran for nine years before selling their fleet.

But the transport bug never left John, and he decided to buy a 1980 Kenworth Aerodyne and go back on the road as a single truck operator.

He carted woodchips from Morwell, Victoria to Millicent, SA for Sneaths Transport, before turning to interstate trucking.

John gifted this 1978 R600 Mack to his grandson Rhys when he was just eight years old

John’s story

A third-generation truckie, John got his first driving job hauling lime from the pit to the rail siding at Warrnambool in a TK Bedford tipper

His son Tony followed him into the business, with two of his own Western Star rigs, and Tony’s son Rhys soon joined the party.

Fast-forward to 2024 and John has recently retired, with time on his hands to divert into a

big passion of his – restoring trucks.

Like many truckies, John has a weakness for the nostalgic – and was given a thoughtful Father’s Day surprise last year when Tony tracked down the very first truck he ever owned.

Of course, John had no choice but to buy it, and he plans to restore it to its original glory.

The 1980 S Model International

Nearly three decades have passed since John sold his S Model International, so finding it involved a combination of luck and detective work.

“I knew who I had sold it to – a bloke in Dubbo – and he in turn sold it to a truck collector in Echuca,” John says.

“We go to Echuca for the truck show every year and we spotted it up there.

“The bloke in Echuca then sold the truck, but we knew who the buyer was. So eventually my son was able to track it down.”

Tony arranged for John to drive the truck to the Echuca Truck Show himself last year, to bring back some happy memories.

In the process of borrowing and returning the truck, John got to know its owner, and they struck a deal.

“I had two trucks that I was using before I retired last year,” he says.

“So when I retired last year I sold them to this guy and bought my own S Model International back.”

The truck was a prime mover when John sold it, and he would like to restore it to the way it was.

“Somewhere along the line, the chassis got lengthened and it got a tray put on to it,” he says.

“It’s still got the tray on it now but I’m

contemplating taking it off and putting it back to a prime mover.

“I’d like to paint it back to its original colours of white and blue as well.”

The 1987 K100E

John bought a very special 1987 K100E 20 years ago, from a friend of his in Shepparton, and used it as a working truck in Melbourne right up until his retirement last year. It was originally a long wheelbase truck that had a HIAB crane mounted behind the cabin.

“The HIAB crane had been taken off it before I bought it, but it was very long in the chassis,” John says.

“I had a metre removed from the chassis, and I had airbag suspension put under it.”

The truck is still registered, and the Sheppards now use it to tow Rhys’ Mack around to shows.

However, the rig has quite a lot of history behind it.

“For Australia’s 1988 Bicentennial, Kenworth celebrated by touring its new model range around the country,” John explains.

“Only seven Cavalcade launch trucks were made – a C500, the T600A, a T650, the L700 and three K100Es.

“The trucks were all painted in the Australian colours - gold, with green and yellow striping.

“I actually ended up with two of the Cavalcade trucks. I sold one and I kept my K100E!”

John's son Tony has two matching Western Stars, a 1997 and a 1989 model.

Fantastic FEDERAL

When it comes to hard to find trucks in Australia, the Federal brand has to be close to the top of the list

Words: Tiarna Condren

Images: Peter Morrow

A lot can change in a decade.

From the 80’s to the 90’s, we went from long mullets and shoulder pads to band tees and baggy jeans.

From the 90’s to the 2000’s, we went from Walkman’s to mp3 players.

For Peter Morrow, a decade saw his 1948 Federal D65 MA go from a rusted-out chassis to a work of art.

After restoring a 1937 Diamond T back in the 80’s, Peter was itching to get his hands on another passion project.

“I was looking for another truck to restore, but I wanted something a bit bigger. I fancied a World War Two model Diamond T or Federal but struggled to find one in Australia,” Peter says.

As many restorers do, Peter took to the internet and began scouring the web for potential trucks, eventually coming across the photo sharing website Flickr.

“I discovered this photo of a Federal for

sale in Petaluma, California,” he says.

“It wasn’t exactly what I was after but it was a civilian version of the army truck.”

What ensued next was nothing short of a treasure hunt.

“I traced the photographer who was only interested in photography, and he was able to tell me where he found the truck. And consequently, I found the owner, and I bought it off him.”

The truck was originally brought new in 1949 by Tony Lara for $11,250 from a Federal dealership in Sunnyvale, California.

Bought by Tony to tow bulk cement trailers, the truck would load up at a cement plant and drive 142 miles north to a concrete batching plant. He would then unload and drive another 102 miles home.

“A day's work for Tony was a round trip of 296 miles, which Tony did for 21 years, allowing for time off.

Annually, this truck and driver covered approximately 1.5 million miles (approximately 2.4 million kms) over the time of his ownership.

Tony Lara retired in 1971 and proceeded to sell the truck to Bob Alexander from Hollister, California.

Bob worked the truck for 20 years on general freight carting in the nearby area accumulating hundreds of thousands of miles.

Once Bob had his fun, he passed the Federal off to someone with intentions of restoring it…which never happened.

It passed hands once more to another potential restorer who also never got around to it.

Long bonneted and beautiuful – the finished restoration

The truck as Peter found it on the internet in 2012

It was at this time that our persistent and willing Peter locked eyes on the Federal and had it shipped to Australia.

“I purchased it from the second potential restorer and brought the truck into Australia in late 2012,” Peter says.

Peter says that he did not even know that this Federal model was ever made.

“I've seen the tank transporter models which are out here in Australia, which I would have liked to have purchased but none are really available.

“But then I discovered this, which was based on that truck and appearance and I had to have it.”

The restoration took 10 years, with Peter

saying it wasn’t in the best of shape when he received it.

“The Federal had deteriorated somewhat over the years.”

Peter, with help from Mitchell from Bunyip and JC Diesel, started the resto journey by pulling the truck completely apart.

When the truck was originally made, there was a choice of two different Cummins diesel engines available for this model.

This particular truck was fitted with the NHB 200 horsepower engine, and then replaced by an identical engine in the 1960s.

“We had to completely rebuild it; it needed a lot of work.”

“The gearboxes were okay, and the

The cabin was overcome with rust and irreparable damage.

Peter had a crack of doing the interior dash himself

“I decided rather than try and repair it, I would replace it,” he says.

“I was able to locate another one in Oregon and I brought that out and fitted that.”

Peter had the brilliant idea to convert the cab into a sleeper after being inspired by a Marmon-Herrington truck.

He ended up cutting the back off and extending it by two feet.

“So, we made it into a sleeper, not a very wide one but nevertheless a sleeper.”

T he Federal received a beautiful coat of paint as well, sporting a stunning Ford Mustang metallic blue and red colourway.

“We painted lots of things that you wouldn't see, hand painted parts of the truck underneath that nobody would see. That took a long time.”

Peter even had a crack at doing the interior on his own.

One of Peter’s main goals was to replicate what a truck would have looked like in the 50’s.

“In other words, I've got all the accessories like lights, and anything else

that was fitted onto the truck from that era, which I imported also from America.”

The Federal was finally completed in 2022.

“I knew it would take a long time. Financial constraints plus time, and I had to take it up to Bunyip, but I live in Melbourne.

“I tried to work on it at least one day a week.”

While no longer working in the industry, Peter says his love for trucks goes back years.

“I used to be a truck driver until I was in my early 30s, I think.

“I've always loved trucks. I'm 77 now, but ever since I was a child, I've always loved trucks and loved driving.”

Peter has joined the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club of Australia and now loves showing off his impeccable rig at the truck shows.

“I’ve made it up to Yarra Valley twice, and one in Frankston.

“I occasionally drive it around the street just to keep the engine moving and the brakes operating.

People can’t help but stop and stare when they see it cruising around.

“There's a lot of interest whenever I park it or drive along the street because it's quite a vibrant blue colour,” he says.

“As far as I know, it's the only one in the country. There are other Federals here but not this model.

Long Road TAKING THE

Travel, horses, food and COVID

all played their part in Lindsee Cameron’s transport journey

Words: Tiarna Condren

Images: Lindsee Cameron

Lindsee Cameron took an unexpected path into the transport industry.

Unlike many others, her journey didn’t involve familial connections or a childhood surrounded by trucks, but rather a longwinded exploration of other careers.

“I had travelled around Europe when I was in my early 20s. I actually got a job in Ireland as a racehorse trainer,” Lindsee says.

“It became a disappointing position, and it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be.”

Deciding to leave and shop around for new jobs, she soon started working in hospitality as a waitress.

“It was really fun, especially waitressing overseas. Yet I was always leaning towards

being at the back of the restaurant.”

Lindsee grew up surrounded by cooking, with her brother even enlisting as a chef for the Navy and opening a restaurant.

“We come from a fairly cook orientated Italian family. We were taught how to cook at a young age and we loved it.”

“I think it's just always been there.”

Deciding it was time to open a new chapter, Lindsee packed up her bags and flew back to Australia, undertaking an apprenticeship with her brother at his restaurant.

“I ended up working as a chef for 12 years,” she says.

'get her foot in the door'

“I lived all over Eastern Australian doing that. I ran a restaurant as head chef for three years in Byron Bay for my Balinese friend and it was great.”

She then moved to Melbourne, working out in the Yarra Valley at some very prestigious restaurants.

After a decade, it dawned on Lindsee that there were more paths she wanted to explore and now was the time to do it.

“I actually went back to university and studied nutrition. It led to me taking on a less commercial role in a health-oriented industry.”

She began working at a health food store doing cooking demonstrations and recipes before switching to support work.

“I became a personal chef for people with disabilities. It was a great job to travel around with and I enjoyed it.”

When the pandemic struck and many

jobs were put on hold, Lindsee found herself questioning what she was doing.

“I was like, it's been amazing. It's been a great ride and adventure, but it hasn't really set me up financially,” she says.

“I think a lot of chefs feel that way. They get to their 40s and they're like, wow, it was so fun but where's my nest egg? I sort of got a little bit of burnout.”

Luckily for Lindsee, she had been friends with Women in Trucking Australia (WITA) CEO Lyndal Denny for over a decade.

“For my 40th birthday she really wanted me to come to Adelaide and have a look around at what she had been doing.”

“I had always been very interested in Women in Trucking, and I was always her number one fan so I decided to go.”

It became clear to Lindsee that while she had never really considered it in the past, truck driving was seeming like something she could really get behind.

“I ended up moving out to Adelaide and living with Lyndal, helping her out with some admin and bits and pieces for WITA.”

“I had been thinking about truck driving and getting involved with the mines.”

“The biggest issue I found was being female, it's really hard to get in. I was met with a lot of negativity of why females shouldn't work in the mines.”

Determined, Lindsee didn’t let the comments turn her off, but it instead empowered her to get it done.

While she was in Adelaide, Lyndal had been in the process of creating the Foot in the Door program.

Funded by the NHVR, the WITA program supports inexperienced female heavy vehicle drivers with securing licenses and employment.

“The program is all tailored around what you need and what you want and where you want to go in the industry. So I was like, wow, this is so perfect for me,” she says.

“I actually joined the first round and I just loved it. It's been amazing.”

In South Australia, C Class licensed drivers can go straight to an HC once they’ve completed a Training in Lieu of Experience (TILE) course and the appropriate driver training and assessment.

With financial support from the program, Lindsee was able to complete the training and achieve her HC licence, opening up a plethora of doors.

She now drives for NATRIO out of Adelaide carting soda-ash from the Port to Adelaide Brighton Cement and is the first woman driver they have ever employed.

“This company has taken me on fully knowing that I don't have any experience, which is great.”

“I've been treated with nothing but equalness and fairness, and it's been really amazing.”

Lindsee says the transition was to truck driving was surprisingly easy, and credits that to the company she chose to work for.

“There's a lot of companies out there that just aren't forgiving if you're a little bit green. And I think that's something in the industry that needs changing,” she says.

“There have been a few instances where quite often I'm thrown in the deep end and I have a bit of a panic moment.

“I'm like, oh my god, what do I do? Luckily for me, I have some pretty nice bosses and some good workmates that have got a lot of experience that I can call and they will always help me out.

Lindsee says while her path to trucking wasn’t typical, she is grateful for the opportunities she has received and is excited to continue her work as a woman in transport.

Who would've thought a former chef would be this comfortable behind the wheel

Immaculate INTERNATIONAL

It takes a lot of persistence to tackle the restoration of a 97-year-old truck and Keith Lee had it by the bucketful

Words: Tiarna Condren Images: Lee Family

Attention to detail was a key priority of this restoration

Some things can be done quickly, like brushing your teeth or making a cup of tea.

Other things however require patience and love, like cooking a meal or restoring a 1927 trayback International.

For Keith Lee, he knew once he set his eyes on the vintage rig over 60 years ago, it would take up a lot of his time.

Before Keith passed away in September last year, his cousin Greg Newman says he witnessed a lot of the magic take place.

“I got to see the whole rebuild off and on,” Greg says.

Keith ran a successful wholesale fruit business out of the Melbourne fruit market when he stumbled across the rare find.

“He was up in Griffith trucking, picking up fruit for some of his bigger contracts.”

“He would arrive at these farms out in the middle of nowhere, and they would always have equipment laying around.

“I suppose he was a bit of a bowerbird, always looking for equipment,” Greg chuckled.

“And then he saw the truck and immediately thought what a great project it would be.”

When he brought it back, it found home in his mother’s garage for a few years while he started trying to source parts.

“It was in every shape. Chassis, no cabin, no tray, he had to recreate all of it.”

Sourcing parts for an elusive rig such as the International meant Keith was using every possible avenue to come up with what was needed.

“Keith was a well-known bloke, and he had been around trucks and mechanics all his life,” Greg says.

“He was fortunate that he knew and dealt with people that had farms and lots of old equipment laying around.

“He had quite a network of people from different states that he could talk to and find where to pick up whatever he needed at the time.”

Being such an old and rare truck, Keith wanted to ensure every part of the rig was original.

“It’s got the original engine and gearbox. Matching numbers and everything.”

“He had to rebuild the engine, rebuild the gearboxes, the diffs everything.

“It was more like carbies and bits and

pieces that he had to remodel or rejuvenate for it.”

After spending time at his mother’s, Keith eventually moved the truck over to his shed.

“He had to raise the roof and garage by two feet to get it to fit,” Greg laughed.

“The whole restoration took over 55 years, all his life.”

The truck is now in immaculate condition, with every finish done to impeccable standards.

The exterior has been painted to a beautiful gold, with a complimentary light brown interior.

The tray and cabin were hand-made with timber.

“It was just a jigsaw. It was a gradual process of learning about the parts and working out how to recreate them or where to find the parts.”

“In 1927, all the cabins were all different. He had to look through photographs of Internationals being sold at that time and figure out how to recreate it.

“It was a labour of love and it looks perfect now.”

The perfect show pony, Keith never put the International to work, but it still garnered attention.

“It was a very well-known truck, especially within the fruit and veg market.”

The eye-catching rig even caught attention from the producers behind the Australian period drama The Sullivans.

“They used to come each day and pick it up on a tray truck and get shipped to Ripponlea

Gardens where they filmed.

“It was constantly used in the backgrounds of scenes and events.”

Keith was looking forward to getting the International seen more, and start bringing it around to truck shows.

“It was finally at that stage, floating it around from here and there and just getting it out there.”

Since Keith’s passing, the International is now listed for sale, with Greg hoping it goes to someone who can appreciate the love that went into it.

Timber was king in the days when this classic truck first hit the streets Each piece of the engine had to be sourced or recreated to bring the truck back to life

It’s the truck we’ve ever bought

Welcome to my very first trucking short story. This is a bit of a challenge for me as my natural proclivity leans more towards the countless waffling. Yet for this feature story I am attempting to keep it very short and sweet. Instead of my endless rambling, I am letting the words of Fred R. Barnard’s famous advertising quote, ‘A picture paints a thousand words’ take over the spirit of this story.

‘bulldog’ aficionados like me, well I just can’t be denied.

The deal I made with John Dufty, the man who steers both the new Mack Outlaw and the family transport company, is that I would focus more on the truck than the company.

“We don’t normally do this kind of thing, but I’m doing it more for John Saint and the guys at JT Fossey,” John states. “We’re not much for attention, we just like to plod along and get the job done.”

There is no bad angle of the big Mack

Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t like I don’t have anything to say because I do. I mean just look at the truck that drew me to this story. It is arguably one of the coolest limited-edition Macks around.

Then you have the family trucking company that runs this stunning Outlaw Mack – the Dufty family. It’s a family steeped in trucking history and a family that epitomises old-school values and humility. They are a small-town, authentic Australian family. They work for their community, their family, and for the fun of it. They shy away from attention and avoid journalists like me. Unfortunately, the small family company has just put one of the coolest Mack Super-Liners on the road and for

In the spirit of that agreement let me shine a very short light on how we got to this stunning truck.

John Dufty grew up around trucks, tractors, and all things country. His passion for trucking started way back when he could hardly reach the pedals. Now, with the support and encouragement of his parents and the help of his wife Jo, he runs the company started by his dad many years before.

The family transport company is based in the small country village of Bellata, NSW. At the last census, this tiny town was home to less than 300 people and has been through every cliché Australian season over

the years. I’m not talking winter, summer, autumn and spring, I’m talking dry, drier, drought and flood. Through all of that John’s parents, David and Kerrie, have stayed local, raising two kids and working however and wherever they needed to.

Farm life

In rural NSW, farming is just part of the DNA, as is trucking, and at the age of only 18, John’s dad David bought an old Commer and began carting cotton around the local area.

David worked several seasons with the Commer but, as he and Kerrie began their family, they chose to sell the truck and get back into farming. David spent about 10 years doing farm work as the kids were growing up, but trucking was always just sitting in the periphery for the Dufty family.

In the early ’90s, about the same time John was at an age where he moved from a typical annoying child into a highly motivated and supportive youngster that could change tyres after school and have them ready for Dad as he came through town.

David and Kerrie formed Bellata Grainmoover and Contract Harvesting, the company that would eventually be working

the stunning Mack Outlaw, began with an old ACCO they purchased from David’s uncle. The purchase also included a flattop trailer and side delivery bins. The Duftys added some pumping gear and an Alcan tipper and began their story.

It wasn’t long before the workload necessitated an upgrade, the old ACCO making way for an R688 Mack, and then a White Road Boss.

“Dad bought the Road Boss in 1996, I think,” John explains. “That made him actually; that really put him on the grid.”

The old Road Boss, which is still in the shed by the way, used to tow a road train on cotton and a single on grain. Over the years there have been several other trucks in the company fleet, including the likes of a couple of G88 Volvos and even a classic N12.

The Road Boss served the family well for almost a decade, but like all truck operators there is always dreams of a new truck, and eventually the workload started catching up with the old White and it was time to look at an upgrade.

With no more Road Boss’s around, the next obvious choice was to steer towards the Western Star badge.

John lowers the ramps on the very versatile drop deck trailer. This time to make loading another road train of hay just a little easier

“We bought a ’98 Western Star Heritage; it was a big truck,” John recalls. “It was 10 years old but we ran it for another five years. Then we sold that to make way for a brand new 4800 Western Star.”

The new 4800 was John’s truck, so when the company added another second-hand 4800 a little later John moved onto that one. When it was time to replace that Star with a new truck, there were plenty of discussions before the family landed on the current masterpiece you see on these pages before you.

To start with the success the Duftys had had with the Western Star product meant that it was the first port of call when John went looking for a new truck.

“We love the Western Stars, they’ve been a good truck for us.” Unfortunately, timing was not on the Dufty side back in 2022 when they were looking to upgrade. Western Star was phasing out its old models and the new X model was on its way in. That meant there

wasn’t a truck to suit the Dufty specs … well, there wasn’t one that didn’t come with a long waiting list. John took that opportunity to look at his dream truck.

“I’ve always loved the look of the Kenworth 659s,” John says. “I wasn’t interested at all in a 9-0, but always loved the 659s.” That’s where John directed his attention, only to find out the wait time for one of those was about as long as waiting on a Telstra help line.

Around that time, John Saint over at JT Fossey Trucks in Tamworth had Mack Outlaw #4 sitting in the depot and he invited John over for a test drive.

For those of you unaware of the Mack Outlaw range, allow me to give you a brief overview. Actually, seeing as this is the part of the story John wanted me to focus on, how about I make it a little less brief?

John Saint, the dealer principal at JT Fossey Trucks, is the man responsible for the Outlaw Macks. Prior to the COVID years, John had this vision of a custom series of Macks elite Super-Liners. The idea was to take the company’s flagship prime mover and send it to the next level, with a customised interior, custom exterior features and top-of-the-line custom paint work. The best in the business were called in to take an already stunning truck and make it legendary.

It started with the removal of the factory

In order to suit John Dufty’s needs, John Saint replaced the Outlaws’ usual King bull bar with a custom front end. Still personalised with the Outlaw colour coded cutout

Probably the least used part of the truck, the spacious sleeper. What John loves about the family business is that he gets plenty of time at home with his family. But if he does need to be away. There is the room and comfort to do it

Not having a stick beside him was one of the things John Dufty was unsure of, but in the end, he has fallen in love with the Mack Auto box. With the extra crawler gear the truck is perfect for all applications

58-inch bunk which got sent away to have the interior fully Outlaw personalised. All the mod cons were added to the living quarters – fridge/freezer, microwave, inverter … even a TV and DVD player. Custom shelving was fitted around all these added extras.

While all this was going on, the seats had been removed and sent to Hunter Valley Seats where they were retrofitted with custom stitching that encompassed the Outlaw badging as well as being colour matched to each truck. John had decided, while he wanted the Outlaw trucks to all be of the same style, he also wanted each one to be iconic on its own. This was done by using the same colour pattern over every Outlaw but changing the primary colour for each one.

Brisbane’s Bel-Air paints were responsible for the amazing finish. The first Outlaw has red as its theme colour, #2 had Black, blue and then green for #3 and #4 respectively, and then, as you see on John’s truck, orange was the theme for #5.

I must admit I’ve seen a glimpse of Outlaw #6 and I won’t spoil it. Suffice to say, it is very ‘uplifting’.

King Bars also played an integral role in the truck’s design, with an outlaw-only FUPS bar for the series. Bling HQ in Brisbane created amazing Outlaw custom stainless features, adding not just the amazing lights and stainless but also laser cut Outlaw branding.

The other big player involved in the

presentation of the Outlaw series was Showman Signs, where ‘Showie’ gets to share his skills and talents, adding lines and scrolls to each Outlaw. All the work is done by hand with the same theme running through every Outlaw Mack. It’s only the colours that change. This keeps all the trucks tied together yet maintains their standalone identities as well.

Now that we have you up to date on the heritage of the Outlaw Macks, and how they are all colour-coded duplicates, let us discuss how and why Outlaw #5 is so different.

Outlaw attraction

Now where did we leave John? That’s right, he was visualising a 659 as he popped over to see John Saint and test drive Outlaw #4. “The truck was already sold but John took me for a test drive, and I must admit I really like it,” John says. (Writing a story with two Johns as the main protagonists is getting a little confusing, so I’ll start adding surname initials to help everyone keep track).

“I loved the way it drove, I love how it felt. I wasn’t too sure about the idea of the auto to start with but it was really good.” John Dufty was hooked, and John Saint was keen to get him signed up for Outlaw #5.

“The only problem was John was wanting all the Outlaws to be the same and we couldn’t go with a high roof,” John Dufty explains. “We do a lot of work around Augers

and the low roof is much better for us.

“We also didn’t want a bull bar, so those were two big things. In the end though, John decided to spec out Outlaw #5 for us with the low roof and no bull bar”.

As big as the change was for John Saint and his Outlaw series, it was a bigger change for the small three-truck Dufty fleet. For a company that defines the idiom, ‘flying under the radar’, they were investing in a very big, very visual truck. That decision was motivated not just by the company’s needs, but also by John Dufty’s love of the job.

“I’ve always loved trucks, and I love doing what I do. Sometimes I wish I didn’t. In the end though it is just a truck, it’s a workhorse, not a showpiece.”

That workhorse mentality was another driving force behind the decision to get the Mack.

“We’ve had Macks before and Dad still prefers to get behind the wheel of an old Super-Liner over any of the new stuff. But we needed something that can do everything, from highway stuff to being out in the paddocks working hard.”

As John admits, they don’t really clock up the kays, but they do clock up the hours and

so far the Outlaw has been doing exactly what has been asked of it.

“It is the flashiest truck we’ve ever bought,” John says, “but I’m really enjoying it. I love the view from it, once I got used to the visor, and I love the placement of the air intakes.

“Mum’s still not sold on the orange, but it has grown on me.”

In summation, I have failed to keep this as a ‘short story’ much the same as John and the Dufty family have failed to remain under the radar with such a stunning truck. The Duftys have been through as many good times as they have bad but continue to remain humble and modest.

Their motivating passion for the job cannot be described, it’s in their blood. Their loyal customers and great employees become part of the family. What is also extremely evident though is that even with all the eyepopping, jaw-dropping presence this Mack brings, it has not changed the down-to-earth demeanour of the family behind it.

I look forward to catching up with John in another 10 years when he is still happily plodding along, looking after all the same customers, and with an Outlaw Mack that still draws attention.

Your guide to getting your truck licence in 2024

Getting started in the transport industry, like many other jobs, can be intimidating. It can be hard to know where to start – not everyone jumps straight behind the wheel of a road train on the first day.

For those who’ve only ever driven a car or ute, figuring out how to get your truck licence can also prove a barrier to entry.

Previously the process was restrictively linear and rigid. Road transport and traffic organisation Austroads is beginning work in 2024 to make more options available for the pathways for those who want to get started driving or are looking to upgrade their licence.

Prospective truck drivers must have held their car licence for at least 12 months to apply for a light rigid or medium rigid licence. To apply for a heavy rigid licence, you will have to have held your car licence for a minimum 24 months.

This is where the difficulties come in – the amount of waiting that drivers must do before they are able to not only upgrade their licence but get it in the first place.

In turn this limits the jobs that new drivers can apply for, only being able to drive light or medium rigid trucks for their first 12 months in the transport industry.

We hear you though – you want to drive the big stuff. You want to jump in a T909 and cart two massive trailers down the open road.

To upgrade all the way to a multi combination licence, the most complex truck licence available, it previously would have taken a full three years from when you first got your car licence.

Under the proposed changes from Austroads, this could drop down to only 12 months at the fastest, getting more drivers on the road with improved training methods.

One path that you may soon be able to go down has been dubbed the ‘supervision program pathway’. This could allow a minimum of six months to go all the way from medium/heavy rigid to multi combination, through an extensive supervision process.

Through this pathway, you would need a minimum of 420 hours of work experience in a MR or HR vehicle and six two-hour blocks of supervised driving to go from a MR/HR licence to a HC licence. This could be done in as little as 12 weeks.

Similarly, 560 minimum hours and eight twohour blocks of supervised driving would be required over a minimum period of 16 weeks to upgrade from HC to MC.

Drivers going down this pathway would require a minimum of 16-24 hours behind the wheel of rigid trucks, and 20-28 hours for combinations.

This would also include 6-8 hours of training time with a specialised instructor for rigids, and 8-10 hours for combinations.

However, the caveat for this method is that you would also need to take part in some post licence supervised driving, between 4-8 hours - depending on which class your licence falls under – in the first three months of having your licence.

While this may involve additional cost due to needing to employ more instructors, this is something that will most likely be organised by your employer.

If you want to get all the way up to a job that involves driving multi combination, this will be the fastest way to do so.

The other proposed method is the ‘driving experience pathway’, which is similar to the current method for getting a car licence.

This would require 600 proven hours of MR/HR experience to upgrade to HC, and 700 hours of HC experience to upgrade to MC. These both require a minimum of six weeks, taking a full year to go from a MR licence to a MC licence.

Knowing which licence you need is the key to choosing the best pathway for you, and in some cases, for your employer.

Austroads is also designing a heavy vehicle hazard perception test as a part of the changes to the licencing framework, so you will need to pass this before you can obtain your first rigid licence as well.

If you need more information on the revised National Heavy Vehicle Competency Framework, visit the Austroads website.

Happy driving to all the new truckies out there!

What you eat YOU ARE

Tracey Marley,

Words: Kayla Walsh

Images: Tracey Marley

Tracey Marley has been a nutritionist for years, but it was only when she explored Australia in a motorhome with her daughter that she really connected with truckies – and became the Truckie Nutrition Chick.

“It was in the wet season, and we spent a lot of time up north, and the only people we ran into on the road were truck drivers!” she says.

“We would get chatting and I would ask them about their background, and consistently they would tell me that their dads were truckies too.

“And sadly, a lot of them had died from heart attacks in their 50s.

“So I thought ‘This needs attention.’”

Attitudes in the industry

The nutritionist met

Marley branded herself as the Truckie Nutrition Chick, to let truck drivers know that she is specifically focused on their needs.

At first, truckies were reluctant to take her advice, but word of mouth spread slowly.

“They would say things like, ‘Oh I didn’t drink the green shake you gave me on Friday because all the boys were having a beer. I wasn’t going to pull out a health shake in front of them!’

“There was a culture of shame over wanting to be healthy.”

However in the seven years Marley has been working with truckies, she’s seen a big shift in attitudes towards healthy eating.

“There has been a real change in the industry.

“Truckies realise they don’t have to drive themselves into the ground.

“It’s not cool anymore to have a big belly and look tough.”

Gut health

On the other hand, many truckies don’t have an awareness of issues like gut health.

“I do talk about the big issues, but many truckies think that if they are don’t have diabetes or have to take heart medication that they are fine.

“If your belly is swollen and tight, you are a fermenting barrel of food. You are not getting any goodness from that food.

“Your gut makes serotonin – the natural feel good chemical that goes to your brain.

“And without serotonin, that’s where depression comes in.”

Get educated

Marley’s number one tip for truckies who want to be healthier is that preparation is everything – but before you plan and prep your meals, you should learn a little bit more about nutrition.

Marley loves connecting with drivers on the road

plenty of truckies when she travelled Australia in a motorhome

aka The Truckie Nutrition Chick, shares some top tips for eating well on the road

“The first thing truckies need to do is learn about what food groups are good for them,” she says.

“Many of them don’t know, and they don’t know how to read ingredients.”

Marley recommends clean, whole foods –and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

“Anything that grows on a tree or under the ground, I always say that.

“And real meat, not frozen chicken or processed sandwich meat.”

Preparation is key

Marley knows that it can be tough to eat healthy on the road, especially if you’re an interstate driver.

However she says a fridge/freezer and a hot plate can make the world of difference.

“Keep it simple,” she says. “I recommend steamed veggies and grilled meats.

“Skip the gravy and the cheesy sauces and all those things.”

She also recommends keeping some healthy snacks, like nuts, fruit and rice cakes, in the truck for when you get peckish.

Don’t blame the servo

Marley is aware that servos often have few options when it comes to nourishing food –but she says that’s not an excuse to eat badly.

“The servo has a mortgage to pay,” she says.

“You’re not their problem.

“You have to take responsibility for what goes in your mouth.

“They have to be a big boy, or put your big girl pants on, and get themselves organised!”

She said that you can usually find something healthy in a servo, if you have the knowledge of what foods are good for you.

“If you’re getting breakfast, you can leave the bread out, or ask them to boil some eggs for you instead of eating fried food,” she says.

“Ask them to leave the sauce off, or grill your fish instead of deep frying it.

“Small changes can make a big difference.”

The wrong kind of drinks

Marley says some truckies are far too reliant on caffeine, from endless cups of coffee to Coca-Cola, while others are addicted to flavoured milk.

“I can tell who my dairy boys are when they ring me up, because they sound nasal,” she says.

“I say ‘How much milk have you had today?’ It’s usually about a litre!

“A lot of them have sleep apnea because they are drinking way too much dairy.”

Marley says you can easily recognise a caffeine king because they speak quickly and seem jittery.

“They are stimulated and hyperactive and live on their adrenals, so they are prone to burn out and depression.”

Sleep tight

Many of the truckies Marley works with have issues with their sleep.

“Especially if they have that swollen gut, they are late to bed, tossing and turning, sleeping lightly and then they wake before their alarm.

“If they fix their diet and heal their gut, they will sleep much better. Many of them tell me their memory is better, they have less road rage, and their relationships are better because if they are lucky enough to get home at weekends, they have energy to engage with their wives and their kids.

“When truckies come to me, they usually want to lose weight. But that ends up being the last thing they care about, because they just feel so much better.”

You can find Tracey Marley (Truckie Nutrition Chick) on Facebook or call her on 0401 067 878.

The only way is up

A er 30 years in business, Skyreach is still o ering new solutions for any challenge thrown its way

Founded in the Brisbane suburb of Geebung by current managing director Rod Leech in 1994 and set to turn 30 in May, Skyreach is a true pioneer of Australia’s Access Hire Industry. When it rst started, access equipment providers were thin on the ground in Australia, and the vast majority of the machines then in the rental market at the time were second hand units from the USA. Skyreach product and training specialist James Nightingale says the company set out to be di erent, purchasing brand new machines that provided customers with the latest safety features, o ered simplicity of use, versatility on site and also increased productivity for the operators.

Today Skyreach is one of Australia’s largest rental providers of access and material handling equipment such as telehandlers, forkli s and elevated work platforms – including manli s, scissorli s and boomli s.

It has branches all along Australia’s East Coast, in Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane (with branches in Caboolture and Yatala), Mackay, Townsville and Cairns.

The company provides equipment to a broad cross section of industries and sectors including construction, civil, industrial, manufacturing, mining, defence and lm and entertainment.

Nightingale says Skyreach has a simple philosophy when it comes to the equipment it purchases.

Skyreach’s Elevating Work Platform range encompasses:

• Single Manlifts from 12ft (3.6m) to 26ft (8m),

• Scissorlifts from 13ft (3.8m) up to 105ft (32.2m),

• Boomlifts from 45ft (13.7m) to 156ft (47.7m),

• Knuckle Booms from 34ft (10.6m) to 156ft (47.7m).

The company also o ers:

• Track Mounted Scissors/Booms – some able to operate on slopes up to 16 degrees

• Speed Level Scissors – which can operate and drive on slopes up to 14 degrees

• Xtra Capacity Booms – able to carry 450kg or three people and operate on slopes up to 7 degrees.

• Hybrid Booms & Scissors – can operate as fully electric machines and can be recharged from the machine’s own onboard generator during operation

• Light Weight Boomlifts – specialised light weight machines for suspended slab jobs

• Outrigger Boomlifts – Boomlifts with outriggers working on slopes up to 19 degrees

• Spider Lifts – Light weight Boomlifts running on rubber non-marking tracks for indoor applications and also utilising outriggers to operate on uneven ground outside (these machines also have the ability to switch between diesel and electric modes)

Plant & Equipment

Skyreach is able to source many types of machine, in this instance, narrow electric scissorlifts with a very high reach. Image: Skyreach

“We have been successful because we stock the brands and types of equipment that we consider to be the best in each particular product segment,” he says.

“We ensure our equipment is tted with the latest up-to-date safety features and we will even source speci c machines to provide solutions for our customer’s speci c project requirements.”

A good example of this principle in action is when the company was approached by Aus-Rack Installations to provide safe access for them to build the racking for two major supermarket warehouse construction projects (one in Brisbane and one in Sydney).

The extreme height of the racking, the weight they needed to li and the limited width between racks meant that Aus-Rack needed special narrow electric scissorli s that would reach 31 metres high.

“No one had machines like these in Australia,” Nightingale says.

“We then investigated what products were available internationally and were able to source electric scissorli s from a specialist German manufacturer that provided the reach, weight li ing ability and narrow footprint that our customer required.

“We provided the customer with a 1.4m wide machine and a 2.4m wide machine, both of which were able to li 750kg up to the required working height.

“Over the course of both projects, these machines remained on site for over two years – to this customer and to other subcontractors.”

Skyreach can also o er Yellow Card training and Veri cation Of Competence (VOC) training on its equipment on site.

“This ensures that our customers are correctly quali ed to operate our equipment and the VOC training provides make and model speci c training on each machine they are using on site,” Nightingale says.
