ONE with the Worx
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, and those who are neither. This is not your standard truck profile. Sure, the photos show an amazing Australian-built piece of art, a truck that packs more wow factor than a Cirque du Soleil performance.
Yes, we will talk about SoilWorx, the family-owned Melbourne company responsible for putting this total package on the road. Of course, I will also cover the driver of this top-notch T909, Mike Batten, a young man that SoilWorx has trained up through its ranks and who now pilots one of Melbourne’s most eye-catching units. But first we need to acknowledge someone else, a young admin office worker by the name of Samantha Johns.
Where am I going with this you may ask? Fair question. We all know truck driving is more than just a job – it’s a way of life, and ever since Gottlieb Daimler first put a 4hp (0.7kW) engine in front of a two-speed box back in 1896 to invent the truck, the truck driver was born.
