Keep On Moving Vocational Edition Ep11 (The Ken Kirk Story)

The intellectual might of the New Zealand Trucking Media team brings all they have to the table. The result is … concerning. This month the brain power is enhanced no end however, with a real pro – Tim Giles, editor of PowerTorque magazine in Australia, joins the team for a yarn. 

In the Mike's Transport Warehouse feature interview, another life truly akin to a Boys Own Adventure, Ken Kirk has lived life to the full having witnessed at an early age just how precious and fragile it is following the death by accident of his brother Malcom. Trucks, machines, lighthouse keeping, and lots more are in the Ken Kirk life book, all spread between the ANZAC nations. He's a life lesson in opportunity, optimism, and learning. There'll be plenty to take away from this one. 

Then, there's a whole new world heading our way, and whether we like it or not, we need to find out more about it so we're ready ... powering on talks to people in the know and those who have already headed off on a new propulsion journey. We aim to make it not too techy, delivering useful information for those who who will still be responsible for delivering tomorrows goods.

We get the segment going with a chat to Scott Robinson, national sales manager for Volvo Trucks New Zealand, and Kirsten Chaddock, national emerging technology manager for Volvo Trucks, Bus and Coach in New Zealand.

In a new podcast section, Clear the Air sees co-host Dave McCoid and his good mate and environmental champion Lindsay Wood discuss the climate and environmental issues of the day, as they should be discussed – respectfully! 

Finally, you could be with him at the pub having a beer ... It's always a hell of a laugh catching up with our good mate and Commercial Motor magazine editor Will Shiers to see what's going on in Blighty and the Euro zone.
