Truckie Tuesday: Bells Line Blowouts, Caravan Chaos, & The “Death Book” Debate

This segment originally aired in our full Bonafide episode on 18 March 2026.Rod Hannifey checks in from Dubbo as he prepares for a massive road train run to Perth, just as the closure of the Great Western Highway threatens to send freight traffic into chaos via the Bells Line of Road. The boys unpack the real-world fallout of detours, rising fuel costs, and why Australia’s reliance on diesel is bigger than most people realise.There’s also plenty of listener feedback — including frustration around fatigue rules and logbooks, a wild run of caravan stories (from flapping doors to near misses), and a deeper look at the growing skills shortage facing the trucking and mechanical trades. Plus, Rod explains why delays at loading docks can cost drivers days of pay, and just how quickly panic buying can turn a fuel scare into a full-blown problem.🫶 Join the Bonafide Subscriber Page Here 👉 ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Jsgn8GnPw/⁠⁠---Nature Bee Makes Bonafide Possible ❤️🔥 USE THE COUPON 'LUKE 10' AT CHECKOUT TO SAVE 10% ON YOUR ORDER 🔥👉 ⁠⁠⁠PowerBee Meal Replacement Shakes⁠⁠ ⁠😋👉⁠ ⁠⁠Complete your wellness routine with PowerPollen with the Bonafide Offer today⁠⁠⁠---Have Your Say on The Bonafide Podcast!☎️ Call the Bonafide Hotline - (02) 9128 9311 - to leave a voicemail😎 Follow Luke on ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠🎥 Subscribe to us on ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ to stay updated with LIVE SHOWS!👊 ⁠⁠LEAVE US A DIGITAL VOICEMAIL HERE⁠⁠📧 [email protected]🍻 Support the VICE CAPTAIN by Following EHVA on ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ &⁠⁠ Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠, OR ⁠visit ⁠⁠ehva.com.au⁠
