    I also think the loss of the middle Don hit the family pretty hard. This Don was killed in a racing accident in the '90s. Best wishes to a good family of truckies.

    What’s the most impressive physical thing you’ve ever done?

    After a yacht race to Noumea, I was given the job to bring the boat back to Sydney. This was in the days of sailing by the stars and I had no idea how to use a sextant.

    Major trucking company runs out of fuel after decades of service

    I guess you just didn't notice them, or didn't drive on the highways that much. I have recognised them for years as Don Watson was a great racing car driver who was killed some years back.
