325. Australian Trucking News and Opinion with Mike Williams and Trev Warner

Oh, I did a bit of flying bowing

up and

back and then...

Then I did another North Queensland run and it's just, you know, just with the delays and there was an issue in Rockhampton yesterday and just the extra traffic, it's just, you know, I wasn't up on my hours overall, but just the week was just diabolical.
