FRUIT OF THEIR EFFORTS

“GOOD THINGS come to those who wait” is one of those throwaway lines parents normally use when they are not allowed to swear at their kids for continually asking for some annoying new toy. The original line was “all things come to those who wait”, which seems as redundant as the line “it’ll be in the last place you look” (of course it will, why would you keep looking after you’ve found it?). Anyway, I digress. Nowadays the more appropriate line is “good things come to those who get off their arse and earn it”.

Never has this been personified better than with the simply stunning Kenworth T909 of Frank Commisso Transport. The company’s flagship truck, a 26 metre-long Viagra pill, is a detailed work of art and the result of generations of slog.

I seriously had to go back to my motel room after interviewing Frank and his two sons, Marcus and Joel, for a nanna nap. Just hearing the effort they have put in to grow the transport and their fruit company, Go Troppo, wore me out.

This story runs second really to the photos you have all been perving at and it is kind of about the big T909, but more importantly this story is about passion and work ethic – two elements that just emanate out of the Commisso family.

Passion is an attribute of vital importance to our industry and on so many levels.
