Trucking with CJ

Come along for the ride.
Hi!! I'm Casuarina — better known as CJ — and this is my channel, Trucking with CJ. I'm a professional truck driver with a decade of experience driving all around Australia, including hauling our famous road trains. These days I'm also an industry advocate, ambassador, and recently published author, working to shine a light on the world of trucking.

On this channel I bring you along on my journeys: driving vlogs, interesting interviews, truck shows and all sorts of fun adventures.
When I started out, I didn't have anyone online to learn from — so I hope this channel can inspire someone to look into our diverse, fascinating industry, and spread a bit of awareness and education along the way. Driving has opened up my whole world and given me opportunities I'd only ever dreamed of.

I can't wait to see where we go next. Thank you for being here with me on this journey — let's go!

A quick message to say hi! I’ve been getting lots of messages and comments asking where part 3 is - apologies for the delay / appreciate your patience. Life has gotten busy! I’ve been on the road more and travelling a lot. Im actually in the northern territory again this week and will be out trucking and filming all week but rest assured part 3 is almost complete and will be up asap.
Please understand that I do this all myself and do my best to turn them around asap. I am the driver, the filmer, director and editor 😅🫠

Ok! Off to bed as I have an early start tomorrow. Can’t wait to see you all where I’ll be heading this week 🐊☀️⛽️ it’s going to be spectacular

Thank you everyone for your incredible support of Part 1 — the Gold Coast to Darwin vlog!

I’m excited to let you know Part 2 goes live tomorrow. I’ve been working hard on this one trying to get it just right. All the layers of visuals, music and voice overs take time for someone like me, so I appreciate your patience.

Again, thank you for your ongoing support. At this rate we’re getting closer to that goal of 100k subscribers 💕

Hello Friends! Just a quick note to let you know there will be no vlog uploads this week. I've poured a few hours into editing this afternoon for the Alexandra Truck Show Vlog but my brain is elsewhere and i'm not happy with how it's coming together so i'm going to put it on the back burner for a moment.
This week I am getting prepared to head to Darwin for the Supercars and Porsche Cup Race. This will be my first time heading from the Gold Coast to Darwin and I'm so excited.
It's pretty obvious that my brain is focused on all the jobs I have to complete before i leave so best I focus on that and we can edit and upload later.
I appreciate your understanding and patience.
Take care and stay kind to each other!
(i've attached a few photos from the show in the meantime)

Recently I was contacted by a lovely lady asking if she could interview me. I looked at the podcast and couldn’t understand why she would want to speak with me … it wasn’t a trucking podcast like I was used to. After an exchange of emails I agreed to jump online and speak with her.
So two opposite worlds came together and I was able to speak to an American audience about my life as a truck driver. It turned out to be a beautiful chat. If you’d like to watch the link is below

I just uploaded a new profile photo.
What do we think?
Do we like it or was the logo better? 😅💕

Do your kids have a favourite truckie they love to wave at?

This here is a picture book that celebrates the transport industry and the people who keep it moving - a whole crew of drivers from every walk of life, each with their own truck and their own job to to.
Easy to read, quietly educational, and made for every little one who points at every truck that rumbles past.

The best part? Kids love spotting the people they recognise inside it.

Everything we love got here on a truck - let’s celebrate it.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the logging industry and the trucks that keep it moving. I thought I’d get into it when I lived in Canada, but it never quite happened. Then again in New Zealand I’ve tried to head out bush — but every time, it fell through.
This month, all of that changed.
Thanks to a warm introduction from Heath, I met Dwayne from Orana Enterprises. Dwayne and Jac kindly spent the day with me giving me an in-depth look at their logging operations. I then got the chance to jump in a new 659 with Matthew and we drove out of the bush and down to the mill.
An all round great day and an experience I’m so grateful for.
Even more amazing — they gave me permission to film the entire day, and it’s now a full YouTube episode.
A huge thank you to Jac for these incredible photos, and to the whole Orana team for such a memorable day. Episode is live now — go check it out! 🌳💚

What an honour it was to be @ruralaliveandwell ambassador and get to explore more of Tasmania 🥹💕

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
