Veteran truckie is still lovin’ it after 34 years

Still at the Little River BP on our way to catch the ‘Spirit of Tasmania’ at Geelong, we were fortunate to catch up with Craig Lansdown from Kooweerup who had also dropped in for a quick cuppa and a quick break.

He was driving an eye-catching Southern Sons 2021 T-909 ‘Anniversary’ Kenworth with a 600 Cummins up front, and towing a B-double of Lusty trailers on his way from Clyde to Lara to load up with soy meal, and then return home and knock off for the day.

“I’ve been with Southern Sons for four years now and what a great family outfit they are to work for, in every way,” he said.

“They are an honest family-owned company, specialising in bulk transport services and delivery to the stock feed and grain industries, and we get around quite a bit.

“Look at the gear, and how well maintained everything is.

“They have four sons and three of them are involved in the business, and the whole atmosphere is so good there you could even call it ‘homely’.

Craig has chalked up 34 “good years” out on the road now all up, and still has no regrets.

“I call this my retirement job, and am still loving it, but I mean working for an outfit like this and driving a truck like this; it couldn’t get much better could it?
