“I thought this site is about communicating between all drivers …..”
Hi Dave N. Great reply! Smoky ….. I have a better idea! Bring up the rate for frieght, “Not speed” , suport TWU in their fight for better ,safer respectable work conditions that will cover the cost to suvive for both the ownerdriver and companies within the transport industry. I know 1st hand that things are starting to happen and yeh there are a few hick ups at present with gov dept in some rushed solutions to date ie new log book , workcover with OHS, self defence procedures etc . I hope its all for the best!
Carl ….. I drive a car and a coach. Sorry I don’t tow a carravan - just a pop top when taking my wife and 3 little girls on holiday. “big deal” SO what do you mean about this game?? I thought this site is about communicating between all drivers.
I personally find, not sitting up the ass of the vehicle in front leaves the driver to concentrate and do the speed that they’re comfortable with SO get up RTA for more dual pass lanes.. DONT BAG OUT THE OTHER DRIVER. This word (family) what can we do to preserve that living word?
I mean (mine,yours tanya’s westy’s others even Chris’s new baby girl!
Carl stop being a such a hypocrite and DO a little to preserve this word (family)…
Just dropping in to say hi to every one. Keep safe

Smokey! Smokey! I think you need some anger management.
The old saying is “if you haven’t a good word to say about someone then keep your trap shut”.
Why lash out at the very people of your profession who are endeavouring to help and educate the non truck driving public.
Smokey,I talk to Heavy Haulage Drivers from all round and not only on this web site mate,thank God there’s only a few like you.
I must say that a majority of these drivers[bus drivers included]have issues about the public’s view of them but they put their case forward and hopefully it gets across.
So how about forgetting the anger and insults and direct some encouragement and advice, That’s if you are able!

Hi dave
Going great but very busy ,how are you going?
hope ya!! tribe is healthy as well. g,day chris how,s little one.Got to say cris thumb s up to the truckies on the pacific hwy on how courteous they were when traveling sth last week to newcastle.
Mother,s gone quiet? Westy what have you done??. I think this silent treatment of her,s is not normal??
Smokey
Mate, dont let that stuff get to ya!.
I reckon the driver who drive,s with respect to others whilst on the roads is the real winner!!, saddly this is not reconised often. Same in (Some) schools, The kids” that get rewards are often the one,s that can,t behave in order for some teachers to gain control,
Other than the one,s trying their best silently .
they are called( silent achievers ).
keep safe ian b

Smokey,
I was as tactful, (diplamatik), as I could be re your last post, but, I really should retract the bit about roadhouses. It’s bad enough that we have to eat that stuff in most places, but to have to listen to it while we eat it is just a little too much.
Mate there’s a great web site, called http://www.hightalk.com, that would really suit your style of writing….!

Ian B,I’m great,families great although most of grandkids have had the usual sniffles and colds. I had a dose for a couple of days but got my oldie but goodie remedy going. Tried and true mate. Night time before bed … Hot orange juice with two fingers of rum[has to be Bundy!], garlic cap’s and Vit C through the day.
Look after your Mum and Dad, wish I still had mine.

Hey Dave ….. I mean’t those drivers in road registrable vehicles on the pacific being courteous! I didn’t include the gezer (as in the defective moped chair with the sheep skin seat covers in which keeps their toosh warm) ha ha ha! MATE!!!!
After MUM telling me of my father on a walk frame with wheels going down the new steep ramp they had built at their house - MAN !!! I was told that He went from (0 to 85kms, hr in a 50km) zone in just under 3 seconds as he was trying to negotiate that sharp bend at the bottom.
The frame is now a write-off and the words DAD said that day I’ve never heard before and would never repeat! Personally I feel that both my parents are a bloody worry!! Just ask that granny who drives the trendy granny XR6.
As For your question on which tyres are best? The ones that carry air just in the tops of the rubber!
HA! HA! HA!

The following is my OPINION ONLY.
Firstly Smokey, I didn’t win that Competition I was a National Finalist. If I had won that Competition I would have Winner on my name. I’m not surprised you didn’t know it was on, you obviously can’t read. The ads were in every Big Rigs Issue, Owner/Driver, and in every Shell Roadhouse - as that’s where you could enter.
Who’s the DICKHEAD now Smokey? You might want to invest in rego plates that say stupid!!
September 1st, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Ian, it did have air in the top,it was only flat on the bottom.

Hey Chris[nappy boy],You know deep down that Smokey could have beaten you all. …. Any way the question I want answered is “how in the hell did this fella get his licence?”
Well mate only been in the shop for less than 12 months and we’ve had our first break in.
Small amount of cash taken plus a cold drink …must have been thirsty work!

Hey Smokey,
Just so you know, the competition was VERY promoted, and most folk of reasonable literacy, truck drivers or not, knew when and where it was happening well before the event. You must have been really disappointed that you didn’t get the chance to show us all how good you are!
For your information, the number plates on my truck are worn with pride. I am not a hard man to track down, and yet have never had any complaint from the general public about my driving. If I really drove like a dickhead, don’t you think I would be trying to hide my identity instead of having personalised plates? I am not hard to track down, and most drivers would know my truck on the road, whether I like it or not, but as I am a professional driver, I have no reason to hide. Hence the personalised plates, on an easily identified truck with my name on the side. Who’s name is on the truck you drive (if you drive one, that is)? Probably one of those plain white ones with no distinguishing features, so no one can identify it when you do the wrong thing.
Now here’s the fun part, dickhead. How dare you come on here and start sprouting shit to all and sundry about me tailgating on the Monash Freeway. Get yourself some evidence, a witness and a credible story before going off your dial. Even better, if it’s my truck, CALL ME!
For what it’s worth, you would not stand a chance in any competition based on professionalism (you want me to use smaller words for you?). I don’t know you, as far as I know, but you don’t seem to be a very bright fellow, judging by your comments on this site. They do make a good lesson in spelling and english for grade three kids though.
Before you start rubbishing people on here, get your facts straight, or find another boat to row!
By the way, for your information, you can’t get plates with diackhead on them, it’s too long a word. Dickhead!
