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.

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!

info_outlineThey say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and that applies to two of the nicest people we know. We thought that Geoff Cootes was a terrific bloke and then we met his brother Paul - they obviously came from great stock. Paul made his own way in the transport industry and like his famous father Ian, worked in the dangerous goods area but in bottled gas, expanding at a very young age before selling out in an outstanding fashion. He loves trucks, loves attention to detail and is an incredibly proud Cootes family member and one of those people you meet and feel like you’ve known him forever.
