OT - Trucker's newsgroups.
G'day,
Topic says it: anyone know of a newsgroup for long distance truckers? I could be undergoing a career change shortly. I'm in Australia, but would be interested in US and Canadian groups. Thanks. Regards, Mac. |

OT - Trucker's newsgroups.
Topic says it: anyone know of a newsgroup for long
distance truckers? Mac, If you do find a GOOD one let me know.The only newsgroup I know of is misc.transport.trucking Every once in a while there is some useful information posted there but 90% of the posters are just bashing others on the board. I retired from the road in 1989 but I still have an interest in trucking issues. I have always wondered what driving one of those long trains across the outback would be like. I hauled heavy equipment and oilfield machinery in the 49 states and Canada for several years and it was very interesting. After I sold my equipment in 1982 I drove for three companies pulling dry vans and reefers. After seven years I decided it was time to stay home and get a regular job. Good luck if you do make it to the states. We have a beautiful country and spending a few years driving all around it will give you an experience you will never forget. Dennis |
