Просмотров 3,1 тыс.2 года назад
New Zealand's heavy haul fleet has had much asked of it over the years.

Просмотров 8 тыс.2 года назад
Linehaul drivers link the cities - and their deliveries are usually time-critical - a job not made easier by the country being split in two by Cook Strait.

Few city dwellers could image the skills required to muscle these big logging units, and would probably be amazed where these drivers are asked to ...

Rural drivers get to see the hidden corners of New Zealand, and its a great place to develop the skills needed for...
NZ Tippers - a short intro
Просмотров 5 тыс.2 года назад
New Zealand relies heavily on its tipper fleet, and they are the trucks that move the fertilizer, the coal, the woodchip, gthe rain, the aggregate and numerous other bulk loads that are needed to keep this country functioning.
