A major concern for truck driver Patty Moulds is pulling up at a rest area and being unable to find a parking space because of caravans.
“It happens all the time and even at rest areas with designated spaces for trucks only. “So, I pull up beside them and most of the time they move.We need more rest areas for us drivers with facilities such as toilets,” he said.
The 42-year-old driver works for Carters Transport and had pulled up in K200 Kenworth when I saw him.
“I have a load of carboard from Townsville to Brisbane,” he said.
A truckie for 17 years, Patty likes stopping at the Golden Nugget Roadhouse in Gympie.
“The food is great and the steaks big,” he said.
Patty has been with Carters Transport for a year and before that drove for other companies which took him around Australia.
“In the next few years, I am looking at going to the US to drive trucks over there,” he said.
