    Default New Truck

    We had our new truck sign written yesterday. Do you like it?

    (PS, I picked the colours for the logo...)

    Pretty safe on that front Torvaig, at the moment we are more likely to be washed away in a flash flood. Rain, rain, rain, rain. I think we are turning into Caithness.

    Looks very nice Lolabelle, you must be proud of it! I was wondering what the metal bars round the windscreen are for? Is it to be protected against jumping possums?? :-)

    Hi Raven, I wasn't sure what that was sure either, so I've just rang Dave and apparently that is a "Stone Deflector". The name says it all I guess.

    I'm glad I don't have to foot the bill for filling that big silver tank.

    Are you aiming to put a roo on those bars?

    Where are your usual runs ( if there are any usual runs)?
    Just when you think everythings fine, life slaps you in the face.

    This truck will be used to transport steel from Sydney to Brisbane (about 1000km) it does 2 runs a week. We have two that do that run, and the tanker is usually on a different prime mover and I would love to have enough money to be able to fill it with fuel. Fortunately we cart stuff for other people .

    As for the bull bar, I hope we don't hit any roo's, but round here it's kind of a forgone conclusion.

    Right you are golach, but I still hope there are no collisions with this one, it cost too much money
