The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s What’s Your 20? podcast returns today, bringing fresh conversations on the biggest issues facing Australia’s heavy vehicle industry.
Season 2 will see hosts and heavy vehicle veterans Rob and Sarah return to tackle key topics affecting drivers and operators, alongside expert interviews, industry insights and a few lighter moments from life on the road.
NHVR Executive Director Corporate Affairs Michelle Tayler said the podcast continued to provide an authentic platform for industry voices.
“What’s Your 20? is about meeting drivers and operators where they are, and exploring the issues that matter most to them,” Ms Tayler said.
“Industry is facing significant challenges, and this season will unpack important issues while also celebrating the people and stories that make trucking unique.”
Season 2 kicks off with Rob and Sarah diving straight into the issues hitting industry hardest, from fuel supply challenges and rising cost pressures to truck sightings and tales from their latest travels.
The episode also delivers a heartfelt interview and tribute to the late Lynette Craig, a much-loved figure in the trucking community whose warmth, generosity and iconic Larmtwich food van at Tarcutta’s Changeover Yard made her a familiar and cherished part of life on the road.
NHVR CEO Nicole Rosie will also return this season to discuss major priorities for the regulator and industry, including the amended Heavy Vehicle National Law, sham contracting and high-risk operators.
Listeners can also expect episodes covering dangerous goods, health and wellbeing, diversity, road safety and the future of trucking in Australia.
“Rob and Sarah bring genuine industry experience, making these conversations practical, relatable and grounded in real-world knowledge,” Ms Tayler said.
“We saw strong support for the podcast in Season 1 and listened to what industry wanted to hear more of, and it’s fantastic to again offer an informative and engaging companion while they’re on the road.”
Season 2 Episode 1 is now live, with new episodes released every Thursday.
