G’day Barry & Raewyn,
Just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the
truly exceptional service that Matt and the team in Dubbo
provide us day in day out with our freight needs. We are
constantly
pushing the boundaries with all sorts of ‘out of the box’
requests and never do the Dubbo team shy away from the
challenge.
For example, one of our customer asked to be advised via
text the expected delivery date and that the driver called
them at least one hour out from delivery! Our customer
was so impressed that his requests were met, that he
called me to tell me that he always asks for that kind of
notice but to date we are the only ones to actually do
it! This is just one example of many, many,
examples of the efforts that Matt and the Dubbo team go
to in helping us and our
customers.
Thanks again to Matt and the team in Dubbo and thanks
to you both for building such a great Australian business!

You say because I'm a truck driver, all I do is sit down all day and that my truck
is a road hazard.
You're right, I do sit all day; but I sit and see the problems with the world from
behind the steering wheel.
I see the young mother texting and driving with her child in the car.
I see the drunk driver returning from a night out.
I see the impatience to save five seconds.
I see the teen boy trying to impress a girl by speeding recklessly in and out of
traffic, without knowing that is the reason I had to see the first responders
close a body bag last week.
I see high school girls begging for attention by flashing their bodies.
I see the lover quarrels and romantic kisses.
I've seen things that allow me to see your next move on the road.
I've seen so many things that very few of the things I see surprise me
anymore.
All you see is that I'm a truck driver and my truck is a road hazard, but on
behalf of all my Trucking brothers and sisters, my workmates, my employers,
my family, I see a nation in denial!
Throughout this pandemic we started off as heroes but as the supermarkets
got restocked and everyone got their toilet paper we went straight back to
being zero.
Keep strong and safe all my driving brethren and even though people do think
we are nothing just remember without us they have nothing.....keep the
wheels turning for everyone and the shiny side up.
