MILESTONE MOMENT: As we come to the end of another big year, we're thrilled to report that Australia's number one trucking publication has cracked the 10 million online page view mark for a calendar year for the first time. It's been exciting to see such massive growth in our online readership - and the many benefits that brings to the companies who have partnered with us along the way. Thank you all for your amazing support. We look forward to working with you again in 2025, and beyond. We return with our first print edition on January 17 and then the foot goes back down on the pedal as we build in to the bumper Brisbane Truck Show edition in May. Do get in touch with General Manager Peter Hockings ([email protected]) to discuss partnership opportunities in both print and digital formats. From the truck stops and workshops, to the boardrooms and halls of power in Canberra, no one has a bigger industry reach than Big Rigs. Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.
