If you're looking for an entertaining, frank, funny, no-holds-barred yarn with one of the great industry characters of the modern era, you'll do no better than Robert Pascoe, founder of RPC Logistics. Starting his own metro trucking business in the highly competitive scene that was early 80s Auckland, he had all the key components required to make a go of it – smarts, savvy, a huge work ethic, and several hundred-weight of cheek. Strap in – here we go as he recounts a wonderful adventure in business as only he could.
We catch-up with our new Euro regular in Sweden, log truck driver Mattias Vikberg. It's been a muddy autumn in the forest, there's a new configuration, thankfully no wild animals, and he's about to join a Scania Roadshow for a couple of weeks demonstrating alternatively propelled heavy trucks.

It's a truly wonderful Kiwi road transport story and a lesson in so much – understanding your business and the market in which you operate, never over reaching, business as part of the community, and loving what you do. In 1975 Merv Pryce and his mate Malcolm Savage purchased the business of Maurice Vickers Transport in Stratford. It marked the beginning of a five decade adventure that hasn't quite ended yet. We sat down and chatted with Merv and former employee, contractor, and good mate Graeme Forbes. It was an absolute treat on a lovely afternoon in the shadow of Mt Taranaki. Burn all your textbooks, this is a tale of business done well by a true practitioner.
In 2015, Dave Carr organised the inaugural Magpie's Truck Run in the South Island. Tragically, this well respected good bloke passed away shortly after. His good mates, Dave Ching and Cam Lill took up the banner and kept the event going, renaming it the Dave Carr Memorial Truck Run. Built on a spirit of camaraderie, good company, and a love of the industry, this year will see it's ninth running, and it's now a major event on the national trucking event calendar.

Don Gordon is today one of the true patriarchs of Hauraki Plains, Thames Valley trucking. Many of you will know his sons Craig and Nigel Gordon, both well respected engineers in their respective fields in the road transport industry.
Don’s story begins in pre-war Hauraki Plains, first in business for himself and then amalgamating with the family enterprise, high profile entity of the era Sarjants Transport, a firm that would become half of Provincial Transport Ltd.
Don went on under his own flag and was a pioneer in the arrival of big US trucks into the local and wider Bay of Plenty log truck scene.
In two months Don turns 90, an amazing human being who will have you with him the whole way through the story.
