What an awesome shot to submit for the Rhino photo of the month. As the country sleeps, supply chain works at breakneck pace to ensure the lives of all Kiwis run as smoothly following the next sunrise, as it did for them after the previous.

Part of that means big wheels turning, trucking the vitals through the wee small hours.

Palmerston North-based Marshall Howl drives for one of the country’s longest standing full-fillers of overnight demand, Halls
Group.

He poised in the middle of the Desert Road one winter’s night this year and captured this beauty, with the moon illuminating Mt Ruapehu in the background, and in the foreground, his trusty 2007 Kenworth T404, marker lights ablaze, pointing north.

Thanks Marshall, not just for the photo, but for doing what you and all the other overnighters do. Your pic is our Rhino Photo of the Month winner for November 2021.
