Daniel’s latest addition, the P 450 8x4 twin steer, put straight to work Apples and oranges: The bonneted Kenworth and futuristic Scania couldn’t be more different, but they work together perfectly for Daniel Daniel King with his son Jaxson and wife Karly, with their freshly delivered Scania The T610 SAR, Daniel’s pride and joy, in all its glory Daniel’s handy Manitou MTX 625 4WD telehandler, with son Jaxson showing us how it’s done 156

Daniel’s decision to go with a European cab-over came down to the combination he planned on running, as well as the amount of technology in the Scania. “I was pretty blown away by the amount of technology in the truck, and what Scania offered with the driving training and the safety features,” he says. “I get the email every Monday morning telling me what the truck has done over the last seven days, from fuel to braking, even cornering. It’s leaps and bounds ahead of the Kenworth for technology. “The things like lane departure and the driver aids obviously won’t avoid something like an accident if it’s going to happen, but you’ve got a bit of help to reduce the risk. “Oh, and the fuel economy is really, really good with what we’re doing!” QUALITY DRIVERS Of course, another truck meant finding more drivers, an increasingly difficult task with the so-called ‘driver shortage’ plaguing the transport industry. “Finding good drivers is hard. Drivers that look after your equipment and deliver the load in good condition,” he says. “Thankfully we’ve managed to find a really good group of guys who do the right thing and show up every day.” When asked the age-old question about his son Jaxson, ‘is your son going to get into trucking, too’, Daniel had to think about it for a second. “Twenty years down the track I do wonder whether these jobs will still be around and look, my dad used to say ‘don't do it, aim higher’ and so on” he says. “But I was just drawn to it. So if my son wants to, then he can do it.” While the days of learning the ropes on the road with your father are a bit different now, Daniel still can’t wait to get Jaxson in the truck. “I’m looking forward to having him in the truck with me, but it won't be like what it used to be,” he says. “He definitely won’t be able to do what I was doing 20 years ago!” Daniel has plans to grow the business, something he says might provide Jaxson with a range of options should he choose to enter the world of transport later down the track. “My old man was always a solo operator and liked it that way, but if things go my way and we keep working hard I'd like to expand. That’s the aim,” he says. “Then there might then be an opportunity for Jaxson to come into the business to do a range of things.” It’s over to you Jaxson, let’s see if we can’t make it four generations of Kings in trucking! ’13 Scania P440 6x2 cabover, 970K, 2 others available similar 03 9357 8895 or search TA1032793 $59,000 ’07 Scania P420 PM 420hp, semi-auto trans, end and side tipper hydraulics 08 6555 9390 or search TA1018020 $88,000 ’06 Scania P420 Tipper Pitman built tipper body 12 mths old, 781K, opticruise. 03 9357 8895 or search TA1025852 $55,000 ’ 08 Scania P310 6.7m steel tray, enclosed front section, 6 cyl turbo diesel 03 9998 4812 or search TA1018929 157
