Evan.

i know he has a few still running Adelaide to Melbourne. A couple of Aerodynes and an old E cab all towing for TNT/Ceva auto. And an anteater towing a single. Think he still does a bit for Ipec too. But nowhere near as big as he was years ago. See what I can sus out.

Thanks guys, didn't realise he was still running, but any contacts would be perfect as i can't find him listed in any phone books.

Cheers,
Evan.

If I remember correctly he was running (at least) 1 entity called Mickway Linehaul, or similar.

old mick is still goin. he is trading under the name of victoria trucking which is listed in thephone book. i know that this correct cos my old man worked for mick back in the late 1970's,80's and the early 90's and he still see's him every now and then. he started there when most of the original blokes where there in one of the black real quick cab ova's. a lot of the older truckers would know hi or would of heard of him. hes got a heap doin local round melbourne,about 10 each way doin melbourne-sydney plus adelaide. i think ive got some photos so i will see if i can dig em out.............
