Andrew Le Poidevin

Since Year 4 Andrew yearned to drive trucks, and spent school holidays traveling with a truckie friend until he was able to get his own license. At 20, he was driving prime-movers interstate.  After the job took its toll on his marriage, he became an owner-driver, and passed the trucking bug on to his son Rhys. Andrew remarried in 2008, with the wedding party arriving in three polished semis. He lives in Young and has written many poems about the challenges of the trucking life.
