Use to go with my uncle and then when he was old enough my cousin, usually the Adelaide to perth, Alice springs or Townsville runs for TNT and NTFC in his Kenny double roadtrain. (bleeding horrible and uncomfortable before you ask, but massive inside the bunk area though)
So it’s all i wanted to do when i got old enough, oh and be a soldier, so i did both and joined up at 16 and got my license at 18 
Saw my first lady of the night in townsville when i was 12
Love the job love the life and won’t be changing it even though I got qualifications in IT
