Dave has also been a regular contributor to Trucking magazine over the past 10 years. This has included the composition of numerous company profiles as well as articles on multi-trailer operations and driver migration in Australia, Canada and the United States.

These later trips involved the piloting of four-trailer road trains and 120 foot long “turnpike” vehicle combinations.
