Back in the early 70s, Alan and Lee Tanner's sawmilling operation in Tairua on the Eastern Coromandel was ankle-tapped by the truck-killing topography of the region. Getting logs to the mill and product to the Auckland, Waikato, and Bay of Plenty markets left a trail of tired and expired inferior trucks. Then the big American machines arrived, and their world changed. From then on it was bonnets, power and torque and fleet of magnificent iron. The physical barriers had found their nemesis.

This month we're joined by David Tanner from McCall Creek Mississippi with his take on the US Presidential elections, and Finance HQ's local rep Adrian Hunt who was heading home on a Friday 'arvo' and thought he'd pop in, only to find himself thrust in front of a microphone. What a great sport! 

If you're looking for an entertaining, frank, funny, no-holds-barred yarn with one of the great industry characters of the modern era, you'll do no better than Robert Pascoe, founder of RPC Logistics. Starting his own metro trucking business in the highly competitive scene that was early 80s Auckland, he had all the key components required to make a go of it – smarts, savvy, a huge work ethic, and several hundred-weight of cheek. Strap in – here we go as he recounts a wonderful adventure in business as only he could. 

We catch-up with our new Euro regular in Sweden, log truck driver Mattias Vikberg. It's been a muddy autumn in the forest, there's a new configuration, thankfully no wild animals, and he's about to join a Scania Roadshow for a couple of weeks demonstrating alternatively propelled heavy trucks. It's all go in Mattias's world!

In 2015, Dave Carr organised the inaugural Magpie's Truck Run in the South Island. Tragically, this well respected good bloke passed away shortly after. His good mates, Dave Ching and Cam Lill took up the banner and kept the event going, renaming it the Dave Carr Memorial Truck Run. Built on a spirit of camaraderie, good company, and a love of the industry, this year will see it's ninth running, and it's now a major event on the national trucking event calendar.

Don’s story begins in pre-war Hauraki Plains, first in business for himself and then amalgamating with the family enterprise, high profile entity of the era Sarjants Transport, a firm that would become half of Provincial Transport Ltd.

Don went on under his own flag and was a pioneer in the arrival of big US trucks into the local and wider Bay of Plenty log truck scene.

In two months Don turns 90, an amazing human being who will have you with him the whole way through the story. 

She's a big red land, our closest neighbour, best buddy, and nirvana for truck-heads! Each month we catch-up with one of our many friends the land of the billabong to see what's happening locally.

Blake Noble's written a Carriers' Corner blinder in the July 24 issue of New Zealand Trucking magazine. It's time to shake off the dross people and create your own silver lining – just what the industry and country need at the moment. We had to chat to him about it.

Of course, we delve into the latest offerings from Mike's Transport Warehouse – proud sponsors of the vocational podcast feature interview. 

The old saying goes 'everything you'll ever need is right beneath your feet'. Philip Wareing is a superb example – a young, hard-working industrious bloke who went into business in the mid 70s as a pathway to realising his dream of owning a farm. Yes, he's certainly ticked that box, but so much more also. On a stunning Autumn Canterbury morning in his Methven office, he took time to share a truly inspirational story.

This is one of the great New Zealand business stories and an interview you certainly won't want to miss.

We might be a little country tucked away in the bottom of a big world, but we can still come up with plenty of surprises for those coming here from other markets – cool trucks, plenty of variation, and big engines. Supporting the aftersales is key to the company vision and tomorrow's success.

In the Mike's Transport Warehouse feature interview, another life truly akin to a Boys Own Adventure, Ken Kirk has lived life to the full having witnessed at an early age just how precious and fragile it is following the death by accident of his brother Malcom. Trucks, machines, lighthouse keeping, and lots more are in the Ken Kirk life book, all spread between the ANZAC nations. He's a life lesson in opportunity, optimism, and learning. There'll be plenty to take away from this one.

Dave, Gav and Carl talk about trucks, industry, events of the past month, the Feb 24 issue of New Zealand Trucking magazine, and anything else that takes their fancy. Where 'Blokes yarning' ends up is often alarming and always fun.

In the Mike's Transport Warehouse feature interview ... With Kenworth's New Zealand representative Southpac recently holding its birthday weekend for the great marque's 100 years, we went looking for a true Kenworth guts-and-glory story about big trucks, long hours and big loads. One of New Zealand's legacy trucking brands and liveries, Rorison Mineral Developments (RMD) trialblazed its way through early big-truck bulk cartage in the central North Island and Bay of Plenty. Founded by the late Ian Rorison, a risk taker and innovator who tapped into all that Kenworth promised on its arrival in New Zealand, RMD in the late 70s and 80s had it all – and drivers Ron McClean and Ken Forsythe share their tales.

Then, the Teletrac Navman Technology, Maintenance and Safety Conference takes place on 13 and 14 March. It's going to be like nothing before, an unaffordably affordable two-day conference with the sole aim of providing delegates with useable, practical, tools and information they can take home and apply to their businesses across a plethora of key industry subjects. New Zealand Trucking Association's Carol McGeady updates us what to expect. 

One for the bookshelf… In the early 2000s Mike Isle wrote Ridin' the Rainbow, the history of the New Zealand Truck Trailer Manufacturer's Federation. Commissioned by the Federation, it is a must read for anyone with an interest in New Zealand road transport. Now, he’s released the sequel, In The Blood. It documents developments in the industry through the first two decades of the new century … the successor generations, and new entrants. Written in Mike's unique, dramatic, yet conversational style, In The Blood should not be left off the bookshelf of any transport buff. 

What happens to old tyres? A long-term problem that up until now has had no sustained, viable solution. But that's all changed. Last year, the government announced  a recovery fee be placed on the all new tyres sold to cover the cost of recovery, recycling and reuse. Tyrewise is the entity tasked with administering this gargantuan exercise and we talk to Adele Rose to find out all you need to know.

Finally, last month Billy Clemens, Projects and Policy head at Ia Ara Aotearoa walked us through the association’s Diversity Toolbox. This month, we talk to Renwick Transport co-owner Jax Smith about taking the message to the industry as a diversity champion in the Marlborough region.

She’s a biggie! Enjoy!

Dave, Gav and Carl talk about trucks, industry, events of the past month, the December 2023/January 2024 bumper Chrissy issue, and anything else that takes their fancy. Where 'Blokes yarning' ends up is often alarming and always fun.

For a real Christmas treat, Dave had the privilege of being invited to Clive and Donna Taylor's residence in Paraparaumu during November 23 for a gathering of the originals from the Motor Truck Distributors Palmerston North Mack Trucks assembly operation. Such a special occasion with Ron Carpenter in attendance also, there were only a few who could not make it. Make yourself comfortable for what is one of the most memorable and historically significant group feature interviews ever.

Dave also interviews Victor Carvalho, Scania New Zealand's new man in charge. With the local market reaching an interesting customer support phase as the first wave of NTG sales approach their million kilometre mark, has the morthership once again picked just the right man for the job?

Murray chats with top New Zealand economist Cameron Bagrie. 

Finally, with an aging workforce and freight volumes set to sky rocket in the years ahead, we can no longer rely entirely on traditional recruitment methods to attract new talent into the trucking industry. Billy Clemens is Policy and Project boss at Ia Ara Aotearoa Transporting New Zealand, and he shares what they're are doing to help the industry consider a broader view on who might be out their looking for a way in.

Enjoy!
