Hopefully SA will lead the way with meaningful changes in Heavy vehicle licence reform. Jarrod from the NHVR joins us to discuss the vexed issue of personal use in the logbook and what we should be doing when we're in the parade at a truck show etc. then Adam Gibson from NTI is with us to discuss the NTARC report and its key findings as we'll as a couple of other things without notice because Adam is a wealth of knowledge on trucking technology and making use of it and while I've got him I'm going to take full advantage and ask some of the questions I get asked all the time.

Australia's total wine grape crush climbs in 2024, but remains still well below the long-term average, a safety operation targeting truck drivers on the Nullarbor finds some not complying with national fatigue management rules, and the pig hunting industry hopes the collection of 10,000 pig ears will provide some answers to controlling the pest.

The iconic Ray Marshall Transport Kenworths ran our highways for almost 30 years and Robbie explains how they got into transport and what led to the beginning of Marshall's, as they were known, with their unique fleet of trucks and drivers.  They were immaculate, fast and from an era that will never be revisited.

And in Trucking Memories this week we take on the Gunbarrel Highway, a rough track running through Aboriginal Country from the Stuart Highway westward over the WA border.
