Truckie Tuesday: No Fuel, No Shower? And Belinda's Tunnel Appeal

Bonafide with Luke Bona

Show Notes

If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff.

A driver tells Rod Hannifey he was refused a shower at a truck stop because he hadn't bought fuel, even after offering to buy food. Rod knows of only one truck stop with showers on his run to Adelaide, and he found a key-tag block he couldn't use because he doesn't cart livestock.

Luke and Rod work through your mail, from radiator fixes with a raw egg or pepper to why caravans on the Nullarbor should leave gaps and show their UHF channel front and back. There's also a question for next week about EWD phones in compliance mode.

Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law updates Danny's case, and her win of the week is an appeal she says cut a Transport for NSW registration suspension after a tunnel incident. Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday.

Guests: Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host), Belinda Hughes (Hughes Law)
