Jono grew up loving trucks. When asked which truck he loves most, he answered “904s”! Jono’s daughter Amelia won the Little Truckers’ Club logo draw, and Rochelle Thomas had arranged to meet them at the yard to give Amelia a prize and get a photo. Jono had been busy cleaning his truck, so Rochelle seized the opportunity to do a quick interview.

Jono has been driving trucks for 13 years. He’s been with Foxpine Haulage for the past four years and loves it – not surprising as he gets to drive the 2008 Kenworth T904. He was parked up at the yard in Feilding for the weekend, loaded with pruned logs to take to a Taupo mill early Monday morning.

If he could change anything in the transport industry, Jono said it would be the condition of the roads. When asked if he would choose Maccas or mac and cheese, he said Maccas, although Amelia says Dad makes mac and cheese at home.
