Keep On Moving

The intellectual might of New Zealand Trucking Media brings all they have to the table in a post workday chat at their local. Sometimes they convince some poor unfortunate soul to join them. The result is more often than not ….. concerning.
This month we're joined by editor of Truckin' Life, and Outback Trucker star, Glenn 'Yogi' Kendall - fresh from his first trip to Wheels at Wanaka 2025.

This month on the UDC Business Podcast ...

Many in the industry would say we need another industry representative body like a hole in the head, yet there's no shortage of those who believe we're far from an industry representation sweet-spot. Chris Webby is chairman of SIRTA (South Island Regional Transport Association), the new front name for the Road Transport Association Region 4. He tells us why they've established SIRTA, and where they believe the gaps are in industry representation. 

There's a whole new world heading our way, and whether we like it or not, we need to find out more about it so we're ready. Powering On talks to people in the know and those who have already headed off on a new propulsion journey. We aim to make it not too techy, delivering useful information for those who will still be responsible for delivering our new tomorrow.
This month, a unique opportunity to chat with the regional manager for a global giant. James Edgeworth heads FedEx in New Zealand and Fiji, and recently the company purchased 10 LDV eDeliver-9 vans for its operation in Auckland. We discuss the purchase, the plans, and get a mind-boggling insight into scale.
