Keep On Moving SPECIAL EDITION (The MTD Reunion Episode)

In Episode 27 of the Keep On Moving Podcast...

Dave, Gav and Carl talk about trucks, industry, events of the past month, the December 2023/January 2024 bumper Chrissy issue, and anything else that takes their fancy. Where 'Blokes yarning' ends up is often alarming and always fun.

For a real Christmas treat, Dave had the privilege of being invited to Clive and Donna Taylor's residence in Paraparaumu during November 23 for a gathering of the originals from the Motor Truck Distributors Palmerston North Mack Trucks assembly operation. Such a special occasion with Ron Carpenter in attendance also, there were only a few who could not make it. Make yourself comfortable for what is one of the most memorable and historically significant group feature interviews ever.

Dave also interviews Victor Carvalho, Scania New Zealand's new man in charge. With the local market reaching an interesting customer support phase as the first wave of NTG sales approach their million kilometre mark, has the morthership once again picked just the right man for the job?

Murray chats with top New Zealand economist Cameron Bagrie. 

Finally, with an aging workforce and freight volumes set to sky rocket in the years ahead, we can no longer rely entirely on traditional recruitment methods to attract new talent into the trucking industry. Billy Clemens is Policy and Project boss at Ia Ara Aotearoa Transporting New Zealand, and he shares what they're are doing to help the industry consider a broader view on who might be out their looking for a way in.

Enjoy!
