GAVIN’S WINNING GRIN

Gobsmacked! That’s how Gavin Sutton reacted when informed his 1989 Mack Super-Liner had been announced as the 2021 OwnerDriver Truck of the Year. Gavin, who runs Gavin Sutton Transport out of Tamworth in New South Wales, knew his truck was lined up against 11 other hot contenders, including five Kenworths and a couple of Peterbilts. But majority rules and the old Mack came up trumps to take out the coveted trophy.

I was quite taken aback by everyone’s vote,” Gavin admits.

“Most of the time people lean towards Kenworth rather than Mack. But at the end of the day it depends on the public’s view on what looks good and what doesn’t.”
