    Where are all the FOX Trucks gone?

    A few years ago it seemed every 2nd truck on the Hume freeway belonged to Lindsay Fox - You are passing another Fox. Over the past few months I have hardly noticed any Fox trucks on the hume. The past few trips on the hume I have only seen one or two Fox trucks per trip. Any reason why?
    I see a lot more smaller truck companies on the Hume now.

    At my work the linehaul trucks are owned and driven by Linfox.
    Many of the trucks are branded with the end user's company logo (eg Coles, Woolworths etc).

    I know up here they use a lot of subbies to tow Linfox trailers / freight , not sure about elsewhere.

    Cheers Ean

    Being a truck driver myself I see heaps of them. They are out there, just not so much in your face as they used to be.

    They are also using toy trucks now instead of real ones, so this also makes them less conspicuous.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Due to name and shame rules I have little to offer, just that Lindsay's learners are still out there with Toll's trainees.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
