Just a couple of days after his 80th birthday, Maurie and I were homeward bound to Melbourne.
Maurie shares his memories of earning 35 pounds per week, which he says was big money in those days, and talks about a time when fatigue management hadn’t even been thought of.
Above all else, Maurie still has a love for truck driving, which comes across with how fondly he speaks of his co-workers and the industry as a whole.
