142. David and Andrew Derham - Derham's Transport
Copy Southbound Podcast
We managed to get down to Lara and catch up with father and son, David and Andrew Derham. Their transport business is well known in the area with their fleet of tippers a common sight on the highways in the Melbourne area, but it’s the beautiful restorations that have caught Bruce’s eye for years and the renovation on Davids original cabover Kenworth was just the start of a line up that’s still coming together. Dave’s story of his modest growth and smart business sense is a great example of what can be done with a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck.

141. Durkin's Thorpdale
Copy Southbound Podcast
Thorpdale is synonymous with potato cartage and the Durkin name is right amongst it. With Michael Durkin kicking off the transport business on the family farm, he was known for some pretty flash gear for the era. His son Kelly now heads the trucking side with a full family affair making this business tick along nicely. A few of Bruce’s favourite trucks reside in the fleet so it’s a wonder he’s not still down there!

We were also able to sit down with some great people from Radio Nemo. Dave Nemo has been the voice of trucking radio through more changes than you’d believe – through AM radio, satellite ratio, and now digital streaming. And through all the changes, he’s managed to keep professional drivers of the US awake, alert and hopefully, alive.
Jimmy Mac is a native New Orleanian who has visited 49 states and called 4 of them home. Having worked in law enforcement, education, contracting, and the entertainment industry, he is now proud to be a member of the Radio Nemo family.
Lindsay Lawler is a singer, songwriter, radio host, and Nashville-based entrepreneur. She spent many years as the national spokesperson of the Highway Angel program in the trucking industry, and her song "Highway Angel'' has become an anthem for truck drivers everywhere. She founded the Highway Angel Truckstop Tour and performed free concerts for truckers at truck stops across the country. Last year she released the song "I'm Okay" which People Magazine highlighted in a personal interview with Lindsay, and in addition to countless singles including a duet with 80's star Tiffany.
