Seeing the sun rise and set is one of the truly great things about trucking, and something drivers will always highlight when talking about the best parts of the job. On a crystal clear morning on SH93 between Clinton and Mataura, Southway Transport driver Dig McMahon snapped this absolute pearler of his Scania R450, capturing to a T the pristine solitude a sunrise and empty road always deliver. Dig’s clever composition of the shot encompassed the key elements perfectly. And now for the busy day ahead delivering the freight to the good people of the lower South.

Thanks, Dig, for a great shot, You are our Rhino Photo of the Month winner. Thanks to Jo Pauletich of Southways for submitting it.

“Dig takes heaps of amazing photos,” she says.
