ORANGE CRUSH
In a country dominated by cricket, rugby league and cross-country netball (or Aussie Rules), it’s almost sacrilegious that I start this story with a quote from one of the all-time greatest real footy (soccer) players, Pelé. I’m not to saying there’s probably no good lines from Ricky Ponting or Jonathon Thurston or some AFL player that I don’t know. It’s just that Pelé, in one quote, managed to sum up completely the journey to success of Flying Horse Transport and, in particular, the man behind the bright orange truck you see before you: “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and, most of all, love of what you are doing.”
That one quote sums up Rasdeep Singh Bajwa, who is better known as Rusty and is the man behind Flying Horse Transport.
I best clarify something here. Rusty is the driving force behind Flying Horse Transport’s amazing orange T909. Notice how I was very specific? That’s because Rusty is the first to point out the success of the company itself is down to so many other people, not just him. He makes it abundantly clear he is merely one of the several successful pillars of the company.
Rusty is not even trying to earn brownie points when he dobs in his wife Rajbir Kaur as the major force behind his success.
“She is the main person in this. She stands with me in all my ups and downs,” Rusty says.
