Paul Watts loads up a relatively small load onto the Tuff Trailers’ quad axle The big 60-inch bunk allows for a fair bit of room for the driver to unwind new W900 ‘Big Bonnet’ Kenworths getting ordered. For a couple of years Dennis and his mates all worked their Kenworths pretty hard. They were heavily involved in the clearing and recovery work that went on down in South Australia after the Ash Wednesday fires. “Apparently Dad and Sharpie got kicked out of South Australia for working too hard,” Jarrod jokingly relates the yarn. This brings us back to where we were before, with Dennis and Shirley registering their new logging business and getting allocated the name Burgundy Heights Pty Ltd. The company was originally doing a lot of pine forestry work before moving into the plantation hardwood arena. It was very popular around the area and it saw Burgundy Heights expand quickly to keep up with the workload. “We took on carting for other crews as well,” Jarrod tells me, clearly recalling that it was around '90s when Jarrod’s Kenworth love affair really kicked up a gear as well. “We bought a second had T900 at Ritchie Brothers; it was our first T900.” By the end of that year though the family had ordered five brand new T900s. At this stage Jarrod was still at school, but a fleet of six cool Kenworths in your back yard would be enough to fuel any young man’s trucking passion. The next couple of years saw the company kept busy and as Jarrod finished school he ended up working with the logging crew full-time himself. There were changes in the way contracts were awarded and work was given that saw Burgundy Heights scale back on their workload. The focus shifted from plantation hardwood to more clearing and cleaning of areas. Trucks were sold off, trailers as well and new gear was purchased to help the company in its next venture. I did mention Jarrod loved the T900s though, didn’t I? Well, the last of those five new ones were kept; and it’s still in service. It’s the boss’s work vehicle now. Did I also mention the Smiths aren’t just hard workers, they are a family of pretty smart cookies as well? While their business acumen had them adapting with the times, their creativity and experience had them designing and building their own equipment. All in the aim of making their own work more cost efficient. I’m not the world’s best engineer, in fact it’s fair to say I wouldn’t even crack the 116
