Kenworth Legends Lunch
An undoubtedly favourite brand of many Aussie trucking companies, Kenworth trucks are the mainstay of many transport businesses, and some drivers won’t even climb into anything else.
Not only are the trucks unique, so are the drivers behind the wheel and the maintenance crew under the hood.
Join the trucking industry as we come together to recognise the incredible achievements of Australia’s Kenworth Legends.
The Kenworth Legends Lunch is a conference highlight, bringing trucking stalwarts together to share their journeys, successes and hopes for the future.
These are great Australian stories of pioneering people; people who still live amongst us today.
