Good on ya Robert.

I always try and work in with the truck drivers as I have plenty of time and they are working hard and have deadlines to keep. It's hard enough for them as it is without me holding them up. I always use the UHF to comunicate. They are usualy a great bunch of girls and boys driving those big rigs.

I am an ex Coach driver and sort of know what they have to go through.

Never had a problem rounding up the cattle Robert. I always told them 15 mins before the actual round up time so everyone was on board when I wanted to fire up the beast.

So which article do you want us to read? If you click on its heading you will produce another URL in the address space at the top of the page. Copy it and post it for us.

As an aside, it was Rod Hannifey who organised all caravanners and clubs to use UHF channel 18 for our road channel.
