:) that's good to hear. i didn't know if i'd have a load of people saying "omg! no, that can't happen. run away as fast as you can!" or what. i...
I guess if I can survive cutting my teeth with a company that doesn't maintain it's trucks very well, once I've got the experience and can move...
I'm in the south west of Western Australia. A fairly rural area with not a whole lot of trucking companies. The company I've started with has...
