Default A reverse border raid

When he departed Lithgow at 7AM yesterday with an empty trailer, Tony Smith thought he was going to make a quick border raid deep into Victoria to pick up some tyres.

Little did he suspect the tables were to be turned as he wound up crossing the border into Victoria with a full trailer after making the fatal mistake of calling into Yass. "Ahh an empty trailer" says Max. We can fix that!

So many long hours later he arrived in Eltham to the traditional gun tractor greeting around 10.30PM and was guided to my place.

A short sleep later it was morning and time to depart to continue the raid for the tyres, then drive all the way back to Lithgow to commence the night shift at 11.30PM

Thanks Tony for your delivery!
