What if it Snows?

ummm, no 'gators' in Australia and I am not sure what a 'crown royal', are they made by Ford? and it is spelt 'crikey' and NO-ONE in Australia says that

ours is imported

a shortage of urea is the problem

 

like a hundred years ago I drove an International Acco (Aussie only truck) with a 5 speed non-synchromesh (crash) gearbox with a 3 speed 'joey' (auxiliary) box, so 2 gear levers, it was a cab over so had to reach through the steering wheel to change the 2nd gear lever - ahhh, the good old days (late 1970's)

 

@Trevor 57 How hard is it to get a foreign worker visa as a truck driver in AU…….?

 

right now, due to COVID restrictions, difficult.

Our international borders are opening up late February so things might improve.

Truck drivers are in short supply, mostly due to many of them having COVID and having to isolate. But even then, the industry struggles. A manager of one of our local company's told me last year that their average truck driver age was 62, no new people coming into the industry except for Indians

 

Pretty much the same here no young people want to drive a truck…… you guys run the kind of equipment I like.. wife is trying to get into a medical trial down under so my dream might just happen……

 

Good luck. I have no idea what the licencing arrangments are for international drivers. Contact one of the big company's the will probably give you guidance. Try Linfox, Toll or Ron Finemore Transport - they are pretty big National companies. My preference to you would be Finemores

 

There is a story on a MS farmer comparable to your take on driving vs remodeling. I will try to condense it and post.

 

How's things at the corner?
