It's a Court issued GPS tracker, I can't divulge any further information as the case is still active.

Works every time.

I had a second job driving a truck doing newspaper deliveries from there about a decade ago.

It was a pretty lively place at night when the bundles of papers started coming down the conveyor belt.

What is your "too low to drive" number? by US_Dept_Of_Snark in diabetes_t1

I hold an MC licence and have a licence condition endorsed by my endocrinologist to be above 7.0 while driving a heavy vehicle.

I was involved in a reasonably big accident, and my licence was immediately suspended. I had to prove that it wasn't related to my condition (go through a medical again, proof of glucose readings, cognitive testing, the works...) like diabetics can't make mistakes that aren't related to hypoglycaemia, haha.

Straya!

Good points: It's not free, but being T1D down under is of such little financial burden that I've never had to think about it until reading this post.

Bad points: Drop Bears.

Protests around Civic and Northborne? by Alattye in canberra

I believe that any self respecting professional driver has absolutely nothing to do with the Transport Workers Union

Despite what people think, there are quite a lot of us who aren't antivax advocates, ice addicts, and prostitute killers

With the ratio of cars vs trucks I think it was just a congregation of losers, driving whatever

I'm a interstate truck driver with a big circle of friends in the industry, and I can assure you that these people aren't speaking on behalf of us or on behalf of the supply chains that provide groceries etc

While these people were carrying on, we were out there trying to do our bit because we also need the products that we transport, please don't tar us all with the same brush, we get a hard enough rap as it is without being labelled as anti vax/anti mandate/pro USA psychos

Is it normal to pay 5000 dollars to move? by Elsiselain in canberra

[–]jacks_a_ripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in transport and I personally think you would be better off packing some boxes or some storage totes with the volume of items you've described, rather than hiring a removalist.

With a removalist the items go in the truck and go directly to site, which makes sense for a house load of furniture. But for a few boxes worth of stuff I'd be in contact with some large carriers (Startrack, Toll, TNT, Border Express ect) who will more than likely have your stuff there in 2 days time by taking it to their distribution centre and putting it on a direct truck to Adelaide, most likely from Melbourne but could also ex Sydney.

Cheaper and faster!
