Alan Ross has been around for many years and with the help of family, friends and loyal staff, has built a transport company and solid reputation for service and reliability. With a current fleet exceeding 60 vehicles, Alan has dedicated himself to giving back and supports charity events and personal needs of many like many on the South Coast. And, he’s hilarious! Bruce was in stitches listening to Al’s take on life and predictions of the future. It’s a raw, open and honest discussion – and loud!!!

Nev Storey started in transport as a young bloke following in his Dads footsteps at East Coast Transport and then Intermodal. Another one of Bruce’s restoration mates – yes, he has a few – Nev has focussed on not only running a successful company but also restoring some of our countries most unique vehicles. He is also known as being one of our most generous and helpful operators with a reputation most would envy. We are sure you’ll enjoy this one.

Bruce originally met Alby Twyford on the first Haulin' the Hume and was in awe of his beautifully restored and period correct trucks. Alby has been an owner operator for many years as well as an avid restorer and his attention to even the smallest details makes his collection of vehicles stand alone as pure time warps. This interview was fitting for Alby as he had just retired the week before and is now free to concentrate on bringing the past back to life.

The South Coast and Hayes Haulage go hand in hand following a few generations of the Hayes family keeping the legend alive. With some big equipment for the day and some unique ones at that, a reputation for rebuilding vehicles the old way and improvising with whatever was available at the time, Hayes Haulage has been a common sight down the East Coast of Australia with a history that had Bruce in his element.

Bruce & Brendon decided that it was time to share their knowledge and experience following close to 10 years working in compliance. It's a minefield really, but with a bit of direction, we hope that this discussion may help some of you. Please understand that this information is from our experience as Auditors, Trainers and Incident Investigations that we've been involved with and it's something that all employees of transport companies can be exposed to. 

It is not legal advice, but purely a guide that we hope you benefit from and an acknowledgement to the many queries we've had, both online and in messages.

Glenn Dawson is one of those naturally talented blokes who can turn his hand to near anything automotive and does it with perfection. A long term close mate of Bruce’s, we finally convinced him to come onto Copy Southbound to share his experiences in a raw and at times, emotional interview discussing the highs and lows of his career. I know for a fact that Bruce is indebted to Glenn for life following the countless hours that he spent helping Bruce get his prized cabover finished and anyone who can put up with Bruce’s ridiculous attention to detail must be something special.

Well what can we say about Crackers? Gordon was raised by one of the legends of the older generation, Harold McCracken, a fastidious and well known operator who made his name with his B Model Mack ‘Ramblin Rose’ and his traditional Cortina hubcaps. The detail on this first truck set a precedent for Gordon who, as a self-taught pinstriper, began to line and scroll everything in the house that had a hard surface. We’re sure you’ll a kick out of his history, love of trucks and absolutely hilarious sense of humour.
