		<description><![CDATA[My hat is off to the RTA this time&#8230; jump into the truck and run down to Port Botany, sounds easy when you say it like that. It was about 5pm when I left with around a five and a half hour drive down to the Port. I had the route all planned in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I climbed out of the old 950 Kenny and swapped it for a Cab-over Aerodyne with an extra 40 ponies driving the whole show. Just to make sure I didn&#8217;t get too carried away we whacked an extra trailer on the back. It&#8217;s B-double time! I can&#8217;t remember being more nervous about going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the end of last year I had to take a medical to be able to operate under the rules of &#8216;Basic Fatigue Management&#8217;, allowing me to drive for 14 hours a day rather than the standard 12. Sound easy but I can&#8217;t get a doctors appointment in my home town for about eight weeks. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week was a holiday, of sorts. You always end up working too hard when you stay home for the week but at least all those nagging jobs get caught up with. So last night I climbed into a clean, serviced and polished truck (thanks guys, she looks and runs a treat) and headed for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I had to count the number of cars I see in a day I&#8217;d run out of fingers really quickly. If I counted the number of cars I&#8217;ve passed in the last six months, having done more than 100,000 kilometres, I think my head would turn into a singularity much to Steven Hawkins&#8217; disgust.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Yesterday was a bit of a rest day. A rest from driving a least although I worked my back side off catching up with jobs at home. I finally fell into bed after another 24 hours awake and slept from 8pm until 3am when the alarm signalled the start of another run to Sydney. [...]]]></description>

I turned on the scanner to see what I could find out. Three dead but the truck driver was okay and it was only ten minutes behind me. [...]]]></description>
