Episode 5 - "Built on Pride, Care, Respect & Excellence"(Ft. Owen Turei From Monaro Fuel Haulage)
Q: What's the best advice you've ever been given?
Always lead with questions, because it defuses tension, clarifies expectations, and helps you connect with others, especially when teaching or mentoring new drivers.
Episode 3 - "Polished to Perfection: The Reflection Story" (Ft. Francis and Ellen Cain From Reflection Metal Polishing)
Q: What sparked the move from polishing trophies to truck bars and then to a full-service shop?
A combination of passion, opportunities in larger scale manufacturing, and encouragement from a manager who saw Francis's potential to grow the business; plus the realization that a shop could deliver more consistent quality and service than a mobile-only model.
Episode 1 — “I Wear Many Hats” (ft. Timmy from Overworked & Underfucked)
Q: What advice would you give someone starting in the transport industry today?
Be patient and focus on learning the basics locally first, then gradually build up to longer routes and more responsibility, as rushing often leads to mistakes and higher risk.
