Hi! Welcome to my YouTube channel. My name is Casuarina (CJ) and I am a truck driver, ambassador, transport industry advocate and recently a published author!
On this channel I bring you along with driving vlogs, interesting interviews, truck shows and other fun adventures.
I've been a truck driver for nearly a decade and early in my career I didn't have anyone online I could learn from so I hope I can help inspire others to look into jobs within our diverse and interesting industry and help spread awareness and education along the way. Being a truck driver has opened up my world giving me opportunities I could've only ever dreamed of.
I can't wait to see where we go next.
Thank you for being here with me on this journey. Lets go!!

Apologies friends - no uploads this week. My VLOG for this week (3 weeks Trucking in New Zealand) is close but not perfect so I’ve decided on holding off on its upload.
I’m currently in Tasmania as Rural Alive and Well (RAW)’s AgFest Ambassador. I’m spending this week out trucking Tasmania and exploring what the industry is like in this beautiful part of Australia.
Today was out logging and it was such an incredible day.
While I’m here I want to be immersed in the experience not head deep in a laptop.
Thank you for your understanding and patience! 🩷🩷

Hi Friends, I just realised that last night's Raw Driving Video didn't go live - my apologies I scheduled it for the wrong day. It will be up at 6pm QLD time tonight.
Hope you enjoy it

I'm excited to let you know that I've had a couple weeks working from home and catching up on my admin and editing. This means for the first time since starting to create videos I've got content scheduled and we have consistent videos being uploaded.
At this stage the plan is:
Tuesdays - Driving Vlogs / Interviews / Events
Thursdays - Raw Driving Views (the next three weeks will see us driving through Western Australia including the Kimberly's and the Pilbra - I know you will love the scenery in these)
The videos are scheduled for 7:30pm Brisbane, Queensland Time.
As we progresses and the channel grows this may evolve but I'm excited for some consistency, a schedule and the variety of content you will be getting over the coming weeks and months.
This Thursday I am off to Melbourne for the Transport Women's "Driving the Dream" conference where I will be a keynote speaker. Then next week it looks like I may be getting back into the fuel tanker - we will see.
Regardless lots going on... lots of footage to work through and get up on the page and exciting adventures to look forward to.
As always thank you for sticking with me and supporting my dreams - it's cool seeing it all coming together. See you out there soon.
Let me know what your favourite type of videos are

Good news — I finally have my MacBook Pro back from Apple and I’m back to editing every moment I can!
Thank you so much to everyone for your patience over the past few weeks while it was being repaired. I’ve got a lot of footage ready to go and I’m excited to start getting these episodes out to you again.
The next video will be all about the Bathurst 12 Hour trip and race, travelling in Scott Taylor Motorsport’s Kenworth T909 race transporter — it was an incredible experience and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Right now I’m over in New Zealand for the Taranaki Truck Show, which is happening tomorrow, so I’ll be filming as much as I can while I’m here as well.
Plenty of adventures coming soon — thanks for sticking with me! 💕

With a new year comes new adventures 🥹✨
I’m so proud to announce an exciting new partnership between @scotttaylormoto and @truckingwithcj.
Scott and the team have entrusted me with the role of transporting the team to the Porsche Carrera Cup rounds around Australia, as well as the Bathurst 12 Hour next month — an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for.
In between race rounds, the truck and I will also be attending truck shows and events to help promote the transport industry, raise awareness around mental health, and of course, show up for the kids — inspiring them and highlighting the pathways into this industry.
I am truly honoured by this opportunity and can’t wait to see the adventures we’ll embark on together throughout the year.
Thank you to @scotttaylormoto for seeing the value in the work I do and for choosing to support me on this journey.
To anyone reading this:
For every door that closes, another one opens.
For every yes, there have been ten no’s.
Never give up. Keep going. 💕

Hello! I hope you’re all having an amazing start to the year.
Let’s talk FIFO work.
Across all my platforms, I still get messages every single day with questions — Am I still doing FIFO? What was it really like? Would I recommend it? How do you even apply? The list honestly goes on.
So I want to turn this back to you, my community.
Let’s get specific. Let’s get real.
If you could ask me one thing about FIFO work, what would it be?
I’m planning one dedicated video to cover this properly, so I want to make sure I answer the questions that actually matter to you. If you’ve ever been curious, unsure, or seriously considering FIFO — this is your chance.
I’m really looking forward to taking a drive down memory lane and sharing it all with you.
Drop your questions below 🤍

Filmed my 2025 wrap up video today.
While on my 2 weeks off I sat and reflected on the year that was and decided I wanted to pull together a video to share celebrating all the special moments. I will be editing this tomorrow and uploading this week. Hope you enjoy it ✨

I’m back from my two week holiday / offline and I’m ready to hit the ground running.
Just prior to logging off I jumped on a call with Sebastian from the American YouTube channel @TruckYoo

Hello!! Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone for the support in 2025.
This year was incredible and while I’d love to do a recap right now, the honest truth is I’m tired.
I will do a 2025 overview video next month.
In the meantime, I’m physically logging out of all my accounts for the next two weeks returning on the 5th of January. (My accounts will be watched over by my team but I will not be checking messages comments etc)
I cannot remember the last time I’ve done this. Potentially years. I’m excited for this downtime to sit, reflect and recharge.
I’m so excited to 2026. The calendar is already filling up for the first half of the year, full of adventures and cool events. I can’t wait to come back inspired and creative and ready to hit the ground running.
Sending you all love throughout the festive holiday season. To those who are having a break and those working. I hope it’s a safe and happy time for you all.
See you in 2026. Much love, CJ ✨

And just like that… it’s time to edit my next Vlog.
This will be of my drive last week driving from Adelaide City to the Gold Coast in the Supercars media Transporter. I’m posting this to hold myself accountable and challenge myself to have it finished by… tonight? Let’s see how focused I can be!
Thanks as always for all your engagement and support with the channel! How cool is it seeing a community grow on here alongside the other platforms 💕 appreciate you all!
