The What’s Your 20? podcast by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has clocked more than 5,000 downloads, with the first full season now available to binge in time for the holiday season.
Hosted by experienced industry personalities Rob and Sarah, Season 1 of What’s Your 20? cuts through the noise with candid conversations from behind the wheel and featuring drivers, industry professionals and NHVR leaders on key issues including road safety, fatigue, heavy vehicle regulation, and the realities of life on the road.
NHVR Acting Executive Director of Corporate Affairs Steve Smith said the NHVR was pleased to be playing its role in shining a spotlight on the heavy vehicle industry.
“What’s Your 20? is giving heavy vehicle drivers a genuine voice to share what they’re experiencing out there on the road,” he said.
“The podcast taps into the stories so many drivers and operators share, as well as highlighting critical safety tips and updates.
“To continue to support the heavy vehicle industry, we’re considering launching a second season of What’s Your 20?, and will soon be inviting drivers and operators to complete a survey on what they would like to see next.”
The strong support and response to the podcast exceeded expectations for What’s Your 20? hosts Rob and Sarah.
“I had a blast recording and swapping tales with Sarah, and it’s great to hear from listeners - including people that I’ve worked with over the years - that they relate to the conversations and are getting real value out of it,” Rob said.
Sarah said the podcast highlighted the diversity and depth of experience across the heavy vehicle industry.
“It’s been a pleasure working alongside Rob and interviewing people from all walks of life, with their own unique skills and perspectives, on what it means to work in road transport,” she said.
“In the next season it would be great to further explore the camaraderie amongst drivers and operators and hear their stories – a lot of the time it’s an experience you can learn from and have a laugh about.”
