Small fleet owner Alan Watts was hard at work under the bonnet of his Kenworth T650 when Big Rigs saw him in Townsville recently.
It was steaming hot and Alan was trying to repair the air conditioning which keeps his cabin cool. “I do most of my own repairs,” he said.
The 50-year-old driver is a part owner of the family company Ingham Carrying Service, with his dad Sid.
“Mum and dad started the company 54 years ago and we have three trucks,” he said.
Alan likes stopping at the BP Cluden Roadhouse for various reasons.
“It has good food and facilities, and I come here a fair bit,” he added.
Alan has been carrying containers and likes his home town of Ingham, which is 110km north of Townsville.
Ingham Carrying Service provides a full range of services including transporter services, transporter supplies and machinery over an extended service area.
