I'll betcha he didn't drive in the wheel ruts...nor would he have travelled very quickly!

Whip: you mentioned the New Plymouth Power Station a while back, as an aside; I built the chimney.

Well I carted the concrete.

Well I drove a Redimixt truck.

Well I drove one of four Redimixt trucks.

Well I drove it for one of three eight hour shifts...so I drove 'my' truck once a day.

Well I had some input!

One of the most boring jobs ever; eighteen loads/shift over the same half mile...

Came pretty close to rolling the truck on that job...my own fault...bored, inattentive, excess speed...because of the mud we kept the diff lock in permanently...that was what saved me...I could power it back on to ten wheels again.
Pretty close though but!
