Happy Easter Sunday.☀️

Got my head in the local newspaper…

Check out the Grinding Gears 2022 Photo Album under the photos tab.

On 12 November 2022, 100 trucks drove in convoy from Woolgoolga Industrial Estate south to the Coffs CEX Stadium and parked on display for the public to see and for truck drivers to connect with mates in the industry and remember those lost to su***de in our trucking community.

In 2021, Ian “ENO” Taylor felt the deep impact of losing his colleagues Mark Haines and Tom Seccombe. Both had died by su***de. Both fellow truck drivers, Eno wanted to do something to raise awareness that truck drivers needed help and support and encourage others to speak out and seek help when they need it so other families wouldn't have to go through this.

Eno went on to organise the first convoy of trucks in Coffs Harbour, reaching out to his network in the local community to make it happen. Since then this simple act of 'making a difference' has become an annual event, aimed at raising awareness around su***de prevention by reducing stigmas associated with it and by encouraging truck drivers, and other men in our community, to start conversations about their mental health.
