A Kenworth K200 with plenty of lights was the first stop for Dustin Wright and his Dad Ian when out truck spotting one night recently. The truck started to pull up at the fuel station with the engine brakes on, catching Dustin’s attention.

Dustin walked over and met John Lane, the driver of the 2019 K200 for 4D Freight. After 35 years behind the wheel, 20 of them in Australia, John is no stranger to the white-line fever. He adds that like most truck drivers, it has been in his blood since he was a kid.

John and the team at 4D Freight mainly cart general freight nationwide wherever needed. When John worked in Aussie, he mainly drove roadtrains and B-doubles, carting express freight interstate. John’s favourite truck is a T908 Kenworth, which he drove most of the time in Australia.

Dustin asked John the big question: Cabbage or kale? John replied, ‘Cabbage’.

As John slowly drove the K200 away from the diesel bowsers – the Cummins X-15 set to go about its work – he gave a friendly toot and a flick of the lights and headed north.
