Workin’ THE BIG CAB

I really did want to focus my opening paragraph on family, because this story is all about family. The star of the show is driven by a family member, the office is run by family members, the truck gets serviced by family members and the company has been family-run since it started in 1965. All of this family involvement during a time where a lot of the country is having forced family time and subsequently driving each other up the wall.

The McClintocks, on the other hand, have grown a highly successful business by working for and with family. Originally that was the tone I wanted to take when introducing Jayden and his father, Jeff McClintock, in this opening stanza.

Then, I found out the family started in pineapple farming before moving to transport. How could I pass up the opportunity to make some rather truckie-based innuendos? I mean, we all know you normally start trucking and end up getting pineapples, not get the pineapples and then get into trucking. There were so many comments open to me. However, I won’t, because I know everyone just wants to know more about the stunning Kenworth T610 in the photos. Let’s go!

I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of McClintock’s Transport’s newest rig while cruising through Brisbane a few months back.
