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 will still be responsible for delivering our new tomorrow. This month we chat with Mark Irving from Mt Maunganui based Heavy Vehicle Machinery Solutions (HVMS) about what they're gearing up for in the conversion space.

This month, Dave McCoid joins National Road Carriers general manager of policy and advocacy James Smith in a discussion debunking the myth an adversarial relationship exists between the different transport modes at work in our country. The truth is we're in this gargantuan task together, and each mode is hugely dependant on the others to play their critical part.

Cameron Bagrie updates with his regular look at the economy.

Clear the Air is the section where 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!

It's a truly wonderful Kiwi road transport story and a lesson in so much – understanding your business and the market in which you operate, never over reaching, business as part of the community, and loving what you do. In 1975 Merv Pryce and his mate Malcolm Savage purchased the business of Maurice Vickers Transport in Stratford. It marked the beginning of a five decade adventure that hasn't quite ended yet. We sat down and chatted with Merv and former employee, contractor, and good mate Graeme Forbes. It was an absolute treat on a lovely afternoon in the shadow of Mt Taranaki. Burn all your textbooks, this is a tale of business done well by a true practitioner.

In 2015, Dave Carr organised the inaugural Magpie's Truck Run in the South Island. Tragically, this well respected good bloke passed away shortly after. His good mates, Dave Ching and Cam Lill took up the banner and kept the event going, renaming it the Dave Carr Memorial Truck Run. Built on a spirit of camaraderie, good company, and a love of the industry, this year will see it's ninth running, and it's now a major event on the national trucking event calendar.

You could be with him at the Rover's Return 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.

Using trucks as billboards to raise awareness of key social issues is becoming an ever more common thing, making fantastic use of a highly visible and mobile communication medium. Dirtworks is a civil earthworks and transport company based in Whenuapai in Auckland’s north west and as we run into the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s annual Blue September campaign, New Zealand Trucking magazine editor Gavin Myers caught up with Dirtworks  general manager Lewis Morgan about their new Mercedes-Benz AROCS that’s spreading not just its payload, but the message on a particularly poignant subject for the truck driving industry.

This Christmas Edition ...

In 1993 Maarten Durent and the late Mike Corliss took the bull by the horns and a tiger by the tail, embarking on a journey that would change their lives forever. In their former roles at Specialist Transport Equipment (STE) they demonstrated an unrivaled energy and enthusiasm for the truck importation, sales, and support  industry. Now the two had PACCAR's marques all to themselves in Godzone. They believed they had what it took to grow something fantastic, and although the challenges came thick and fast – including the passing of Mike in 2012 – time has proven them right. To round out the year in which Southpac celebrated Kenworth's 100th birthday, sit back for what is an unmissable interview with Maarten Durent – possibly the ultimate "Get shit done!" motivational business talk you'll ever hear. 

In the Aussie update this month we cross to the lucky country for a catch-up with expat Bradley Gallagher who drives the well publicised Airlie Beach Hotel Kenworth T909. Forget glass-half-full, Bradley has been a glass-completely-full truck nut since he was a kid, and it appears the gene has been well and truly handed on to son Lucas. 

You could be with him at the Rover's Return 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.

We catch-up with our Euro regular, Swedish log-truck driver Mattias Vikberg. His passion for all things trucking proves we are a global community, and half a planet away there's a more in common than you might think. This month – it's dark just after 3.00pm and daylight around 10am for Mattais at this time of the year. We also talk snow chains, Reindeers, and picking berries and mushrooms in Sweden.

Innovation has been at the core of Straitline Canvas since the start. Partnering with TR Group the firm has recently begun a trial of a new breed of curtain made from 35% recycled PVC.

Don Gordon is today one of the true patriarchs of Hauraki Plains, Thames Valley trucking. Many of you will know his sons Craig and Nigel Gordon, both well respected engineers in their respective fields in the road transport industry.

Don’s story begins in pre-war Hauraki Plains, first in business for himself and then amalgamating with the family enterprise, high profile entity of the era Sarjants Transport, a firm that would become half of Provincial Transport Ltd.

Don went on under his own flag and was a pioneer in the arrival of big US trucks into the local and wider Bay of Plenty log truck scene.

In two months Don turns 90, an amazing human being who will have you with him the whole way through the story. 

She's a big red land, our closest neighbour, best buddy, and nirvana for truck-heads! Each month we catch-up with one of our many friends the land of the billabong to see what's happening locally.

The phrase 'Trucks as a Service' appears to be popping up more and more. New Zealand Trucking Media editorial director Dave McCoid talks to New Zealand Trucking magazine editor Gavin Myers about what it might actually mean and where that particular path might lead.

Blake Noble's written a Carriers' Corner blinder in the July 24 issue of New Zealand Trucking magazine. It's time to shake off the dross people and create your own silver lining – just what the industry and country need at the moment. We had to chat to him about it.

We catch up with Penske NZ general sales manager Dean Hoverd to chat about the recent regional drive day held in Wacol Queensland, and the exciting times Penske has ahead with the latest generation of its two anchor products here, MAN and Western Star.

The IRTENZ 2024 scholarship was so close in terms of application quality, the body decided an unprecedented decision was required. Not only would one person receive the scholarship to attend a three-day Fundamentals of Heavy Vehicle Dynamics course at Michigan University, but two additioal assistance packages would be awarded also. Last month we talked to the winner, Rory O'Sullivan from Fruehauf NZ, and this month we catch up with the two recipients of the assistance packages – Tim Stone from Randal and Associates, and Alan Kirk from Gary Douglas Engineering, both from Palmerston.

Of course, we delve into the latest offerings from Mike's Transport Warehouse – proud sponsors of the vocational podcast feature interview. 

In the June Keep on Moving Podcast - Vocational Edition:

The old saying goes 'everything you'll ever need is right beneath your feet'. Philip Wareing is a superb example – a young, hard-working industrious bloke who went into business in the mid 70s as a pathway to realising his dream of owning a farm. Yes, he's certainly ticked that box, but so much more also. On a stunning Autumn Canterbury morning in his Methven office, he took time to share a truly inspirational story.

This is one of the great New Zealand business stories and an interview you certainly won't want to miss.

Supporting the aftersales is key to the company vision and tomorrow's success.

Dave, Gav and Carl talk about trucks, industry, events of the past month, the Feb 24 issue of New Zealand Trucking magazine, and anything else that takes their fancy. Where 'Blokes yarning' ends up is often alarming and always fun.

In the Mike's Transport Warehouse feature interview ... With Kenworth's New Zealand representative Southpac recently holding its birthday weekend for the great marque's 100 years, we went looking for a true Kenworth guts-and-glory story about big trucks, long hours and big loads. One of New Zealand's legacy trucking brands and liveries, Rorison Mineral Developments (RMD) trialblazed its way through early big-truck bulk cartage in the central North Island and Bay of Plenty. Founded by the late Ian Rorison, a risk taker and innovator who tapped into all that Kenworth promised on its arrival in New Zealand, RMD in the late 70s and 80s had it all – and drivers Ron McClean and Ken Forsythe share their tales.

Then, the Teletrac Navman Technology, Maintenance and Safety Conference takes place on 13 and 14 March.

New Zealand Trucking Association's Carol McGeady updates us what to expect. 

One for the bookshelf… In the early 2000s Mike Isle wrote Ridin' the Rainbow, the history of the New Zealand Truck Trailer Manufacturer's Federation. Commissioned by the Federation, it is a must read for anyone with an interest in New Zealand road transport. Now, he’s released the sequel, In The Blood. It documents developments in the industry through the first two decades of the new century … the successor generations, and new entrants. Written in Mike's unique, dramatic, yet conversational style, In The Blood should not be left off the bookshelf of any transport buff. 

What happens to old tyres? A long-term problem that up until now has had no sustained, viable solution. But that's all changed. Last year, the government announced  a recovery fee be placed on the all new tyres sold to cover the cost of recovery, recycling and reuse. Tyrewise is the entity tasked with administering this gargantuan exercise and we talk to Adele Rose to find out all you need to know.

Finally, last month Billy Clemens, Projects and Policy head at Ia Ara Aotearoa walked us through the association’s Diversity Toolbox. This month, we talk to Renwick Transport co-owner Jax Smith about taking the message to the industry as a diversity champion in the Marlborough region.

For a real Christmas treat, Dave had the privilege of being invited to Clive and Donna Taylor's residence in Paraparaumu during November 23 for a gathering of the originals from the Motor Truck Distributors Palmerston North Mack Trucks assembly operation. Such a special occasion with Ron Carpenter in attendance also, there were only a few who could not make it. Make yourself comfortable for what is one of the most memorable and historically significant group feature interviews ever.

Dave also interviews Victor Carvalho, Scania New Zealand's new man in charge. With the local market reaching an interesting customer support phase as the first wave of NTG sales approach their million kilometre mark, has the morthership once again picked just the right man for the job?

Murray chats with top New Zealand economist Cameron Bagrie. 

Finally, with an aging workforce and freight volumes set to sky rocket in the years ahead, we can no longer rely entirely on traditional recruitment methods to attract new talent into the trucking industry.

Strap in – here we go as he recounts a wonderful adventure in business as only he could.
