    G'day mate.
    Chris here. Calling from Australia.

    Found this forum looking on 'truckers flicks', I wasn't even looking for a trucking forum, I'm glad I found it though.

    I'm a member of a forum in aus called 'ozprodrivers.com', it's always good to hear the same old stuff from another country.

    I'm from New Zealand. O/O with a 5t payload rigid for 4 years.
    12 years in the UK. Company driver. Mainly for a company that moved Theater Shows around UK and Europe. Sometimes loading the shows into Sea Containers for moving to US and Aus.

    Now living in Perth, Western Australia. Been here for 2 years in April.
    Worked for Goldstar Transport for the whole time.

    Drive a Freightliner Century class apartment building, C12 Cat 430, 18 speed roadranger-still not 'got it'. Sometimes with a single trailer, sometimes a B-Double, Sometimes a 2 trailer Road Train. Loads are anything anywhere, in gauge, oversize, Flats, Curtains, lowloaders.

    Also drive a 1991 Nissan Patrol 4.2 petrol Wagon, bought as a crapper, doing it up.
    And 'she' drives a 1998 Nissan Patrol 2.8 turbo Diesel wagon-the tourer.

    It's good to be here, Chris
