J.B.M. Logistics FYJ 300-350 8x4 Agitator

A sub-contractor, working for Boral, Jess Milano of Swan Hill moves some serious weight in his agitator day-in, day-out so his Isuzu FYJ 300-350 8x4 agitator sure comes in handy. And when the concrete pour is done, and he returns to base, with the eye-catching, schmick yellow cab, he looks like an absolute pro.

United Driver Training FXZ 240-350

As a man who teaches the next wave of Australian truck drivers the craft, Adam Van Vegchel of United Driver Training knows what’s important when it comes to trucks. Says Adam “Price, reliability, comfort, power. I have driven just about every brand truck and nothing compares to Isuzu, that is why I now own 2 Isuzu trucks (1 crash box & 1 synchro)”

From Mackay to Cape York, Kuranda Tree Service are arborists who take care of any knotty problem you might have in the tree department. And owner William Turner always brings his Isuzu FRR 500 Tipper to the task. “It’s nice and quiet, good on fuel, nice to drive, has heaps of room, and cruise control.

Adelaide City Concreting NQR 87-190

Concreting is a family affair for Rugola brothers, Paul and Vince, who run Adelaide City Concreting. Taking them across the City of Churches is their trusty stead, the NQR 87-190.
