There’s nothing these adorable truck-loving brothers love more than cheering on truckies as they travel along Victoria’s Western Highway – bringing smiles to many drivers’ faces along the way.
Logan, who turns four in January, and his little brother Jackson, who recently turned two, are no strangers to the trucking scene. Their grandfather and great uncle are truck drivers, and it looks like they may follow in their footsteps one day too.
Their mother Cait Forth revealed that she first posted a video to TikTok of her boys doing some truck-spotting back in May – and couldn’t believe the response.
“That video went viral. I just posted it because I thought it was a cute video and it went crazy. It’s had 5.3 million views,” she said.
“It went everywhere – it was seen all over the world. I saw there were even people from America and the Philippines who had commented.”

Another popular video has already amassed over 1.8 million views. “It’s just crazy,” Cait said.

As Big Rigs chatted on the phone with Cait, Logan was heard in the background saying, “I want to drive a truck.”
When his mother asked what sort of truck, he replied, “I want to drive a Kenworth. I love Kenworth.”
And it’s not hard to see where his inspiration comes from.
As Cait explained, “My dad is a truck driver. He’s been in it a very long time. He’s 74 and he’s still driving. He used to do interstate but now he does local work. And there’s trucking on my mum’s side too, with my uncle.
“Dad works for an ag contractor in Koroit. He was in a K100 but that got sold recently so he’s in either the T909 or the T600. He likes Kenworths – always has.”
@frothy_94 Ripper day for it truckspotting #truck #aussietrucks #aussietrucking #kenworthtrucks #truckinglife #honkyourhorn #trucklife #withouttrucksaustraliastops #truckspotting #trucksoftiktok #kidstrucks #armpumpfortruckers #aussietruckin #trucks Hats from @COUNTRYTRUCKERCAPS @Kenworth Oficial ♬ Days Like These by Luke Combs – Luke Combs
Cait and her boys live in the town of Beaufort, Victoria – not far from Ballarat. And Cait works as a dairy farmer, which she’s done for the past eight years. “We’re near the Western Highway so that’s where we go to see all the trucks. They’re growing up as country kids, as we live out of town.
“We go out of town a bit into a little intersection and I park up on the strip on the side of the road, so the boys can hop on the back of the tray – so it’s far away enough from the road that’s it is safe.”
@frothy_94 What more could you ask for on a ripper day. Happy kids, happy truckies 💪🏻🚛#truck #aussietrucks #aussietrucking #kenworthtrucks #truckinglife #honkyourhorn #trucklife #withouttrucksaustraliastops #truckspotting #trucksoftiktok #aussietruckin #armpumpfortruckers #trucking ♬ Davis Brothers Band – davisbrothersband
Cait added that she loves seeing the joy on Logan and Jackson’s faces as trucks come through and honk their horns. “They get so excited and it makes me so happy when I see that.
“There are regular trucks that come past and when they see the boys, they’ll flick the lights and honk the horn.
“The truckies love it too and say it’s amazing to see. I’ve made a few friends in the trucking industry from the boys’ videos.”
With the boys’ love of trucks, Cait has taken them to a number of truck shows. They’ve been to the Boort Truck Show twice and have also visited the Horsham Truck Show.
As is common with many siblings, Cait says sometimes her boys will argue, “But one time they never fight is when they’re on the back of the ute.
“Dad says don’t let them be truck drivers. And I say they can do whatever they want to do!”
