Friendly driver Richard Withers was having a fatigue break when Big Rigs saw him parked up in Townsville.
The 48-year-old Richard was driving a Volvo FH600 hauling shade huts for SEQ Transport when he stopped late for a chat.
“They are for the big RAAF base here,” he said.
After making his drop-off, Richard had to travel to Emerald to pick up cotton for Dalby.
A truckie for 27 years, Richard has been with the company for 18 months.
“They are very good to work for,” he said.
Richard said he normally drives a Volvo FH 700 which had damage sustained to a spring and was being repaired.
The roads he dislikes travelling on are stretches of the Newell and Bruce Highways and he said that many more rest areas are required for drivers.
His main roadhouse is at Roebuck Plains far away in WA.
Outside work he is a committed family man who loves spending time with his partner and their children.
Like most truckies I speak to Richard made a comment that the exterior of his truck was dirty.
But he had a great excuse having driven through a plague of insects.
On his latest trip Richard also came across numerous kangaroos.
