About

Hello there! My name’s Tim Giles and I’ve worked in the transport industry since 1977, mainly as a truck driver including a couple of painful stints as an owner/driver.

After a period of truck driving around Europe I emigrated here to Australia with my wife and four children to work as a linehaul driver.

After getting retrenched (again!) I drifted into writing about trucks and trucking, working as a technical editor and later managing editor at ATN and Owner//Driver.

I am now a freelance journalist, test driving trucks and generally being a nuisance to everyone. I contribute most of my trucking stories to ‘Prime Mover’ magazine as the Chief Technical Writer.

This website is a blog intended to keep trucking people informed and hopefully amused!
