Edit Just twigged drive in the top pic walking back with lump hammer in hand, tyre checking perhaps

I think the hammer is to knock the dust and dirt out of the wheel centres before they go onto sealed roads and truckstops etc. I have read in Truckin Life about them having to do that. Eddie.

Hi Eddie, I read somewhere that drivers in Oz use a long bar etc to strike the tyres when checking for punctures, flats etc to save crawling or leaning underneath and hopefully keeping out of reach of deady snakes that may be caught up in the trailer undercarriages. Never had this problem with adders when delivering doon at Whithorn and Kidsdale although there were a few aboot.

Nice pics Jakdaw cheers

Todays starter…Fiats in Dubai from Danny McL and a load which suggests by the front axle tyre footprint that the steering would be fairly light

Here’s a shot of some of my good friend Gil Carlisle’s fleet from the 80’s. Regards Kev.

I don’t recall/know at which Truck show this shot was taken as I never attended any apart from one at Carnforth Truck Stop,but we had a group of drivers that were dead keen on attending these events,all the motors in the shot worked hard week in week out and got no favoured treatment from the Traffic office,so the lads had sure to be dedicated,which they were so I never interfeared as they were all a credit to Bewick Transport,and these particular motors were mostly not the newer end of the fleet either which was a further credit to these drivers. Cheers Dennis.
