Something different today as Bruce interviewed his mate Ian Watson from Bolinda in Victoria. Ian is an American truck enthusiast and hot rodder from way back and has been the Australian representative for the American Truck Historical Society for many years. But his ventures in business opened a door to America and it's something unique. We thank Ian for giving his time to us to share his amazing history.

Part 2 of our conversation with Gillian Bristow from Bristow Legal. A big part of this episode focuses on Subcontractor Management, a critical issue in our industry right now.

Sometimes we come across some absolute gems and Vinnie was one of them. While Bruce was still down in the Victorian Gippsland area, he received a call from Paul Groves of Colac, asking if he had time to catch up with his Uncle Vinnie so a detour was made and we were able to capture the story. Bruce told me about this amazing, gracious and gentle man and said how fortunate he feels to be able to do these podcasts and meet the country's finest. Unfortunately, Vinnie was laid to rest yesterday after passing away just over a week ago but thankfully, his family asked for us to go ahead with the interview. Rest in Peace ol mate.

In this episode Bruce is joined by Gillian Bristow from Bristow Legal. Gillian has been involved with the Australian heavy vehicle industry for 30 years and she specialises in contract negotiations, contractual and insurance disputes and chain of responsibility issues.  Bristow Legal | Solutions for the Road Transport Industry
