😢 What a week!!! Received a call early yesterday morning from an old mates son Matthew to inform me of the sudden passing of his Dad Les Cumming. For a decade I worked with Les on Ron Bunkers Big Blue Ones ( Bunker Freight Lines ) & for all of that time Les was an East West identity. For anyone running the Melbourne to Perth track not to know of Les would be unheard of. He was a stalwart of that road pulling DFE / Star Track Express freight & a pioneer of the B Triple combinations that are now so commonplace across The Paddock. Les was also BFL Victorian Drivers delegate for eons & was passionate in that role & made a point of getting to know the hundreds of drivers that passed through all the depots gates regardless of them being from his patch or not. I was fortunate early on in my time at BFL to be mentored by all the old hands there & Les was one of them. During my tenure as a National nightshift manager & then Operations in Perth Les was my all important go to man on all the happenings across the Nullarbor. His importance at Bunkers shall not go unrecognised. My condolences,utmost respect & much love go to the Cumming family as well as the many many mates Les gathered in a lifetime of trucking Australias highways. These were the trucks Les guided across the paddock in the 10 years I worked with him 👌👊☝️👍
