Tidy Inter

Around 1983, Used to work with this guy shifting wheat off the Auckland port, He would would run just up the road to Fort st where the roller mills were. It was immaculate and always garaged, another contractor had a TK Bedford six wheeler on the job as well and just as tidy.

Yes good for backing round corners, without power steering too.

Yes Swishy, long wheelbase trucks and short trailers are interesting to back arnt they. I went for my semi licence in an LTL9000 with a short tri tipper, kept me on my toes for the test i assure you lol.
