FUNKY FRIDAY 🎉

Some days the job’s easy. Other days it’s a seized bolt, a dodgy part, a deadline breathing down your neck, and a head that’s heavier than the truck on the hoist.
Here’s your reminder: you are never alone. 💛
There’s always someone who’ll lend a hand, grab a coffee, have a yarn, or just sit in the ute with you in silence. Lean on them. That’s what mates are for.
And if you’re the one who’s got it together today, check on your crew. The bloke who’s always the first to crack a joke might be the one who needs a “how are you really going?” the most. You never know what someone’s carrying.
Some days are dark. But they get a whole lot brighter when your mates are in them. ☀️
So this Friday, have a laugh, shout a mate a coffee, and ask the question twice if you need to. R U OK? 🔧

🔧 BREAKDOWN SPOTLIGHT 🔧
Not the worst breakdown we’ve seen this year… but it was hands-down the trickiest.
Picture it: a paddock, half a job done, zero ability to roll, and Mother Nature chucking in some rain just to really make the day sticky (literally). This rig wasn’t going anywhere under its own steam, if it could’ve rolled in, it would’ve been on a wing and a prayer. It couldn’t. It sat there. Stuck. Sulking.
Enter Riley 🦸 the man doesn’t do “too hard.” He pulled the axle off on-site, hauled it back to the shed, got it sorted, then saddled up and rode back out to finish what he started. Mobile mechanic energy at its finest.
So..... what broke? 🤔
Drop your guess below 👇 — winner walks away with pure, unfiltered bragging rights (redeemable at the shed, value: nothing, ego boost: everything).

Quick little drive to wyaga after tyre blow and kissed both air bags

🎬 CALEB'S NEXT PHOTOSHOOT, EVERYONE 🎬
Forget the trailer assessment, forget the actual job. Caleb has found his true calling and it's modelling.
There he is. Flat on his tummy under the trailer, chin resting delicately in his hands, legs kicking away like he's writing in a diary about his summer crush. Vogue called. They want to know if he's free Tuesday.
Meanwhile the trailer is just sitting there like "mate I have a cracked chassis and you're doing your best teen-movie daydream impression underneath me."
Some blokes assess trailers with a torch and a checklist. Caleb assesses them lying down, feet in the air, fully committed to the aesthetic.
10/10 dedication to the craft. 0/10 usefulness to the job card.
⚠️ Disclaimer: No trailers were harmed in the making of this photoshoot. Caleb's ego, however, is thriving.

FUNKY FRIDAY 🔧🧡

Real talk for a sec.
The blokes and legends you work with, the ones covered in grease, cracking s**t jokes over the truck bonnet, stealing your good pen 🖊️, chances are you spend more hours with them than with your own family.
So this Friday, shoutout to TradeMutt for keeping the conversation about mental health loud and unmissable in an industry that's usually pretty average at talking about feelings.
Here's the thing though, it's not just about a colourful shirt (even though ours slap 👇). It's about actually checking in on your mates. Not the "yeah good hey" drive-by. The real one. The "nah for real, how ARE you" one, where you actually stop and listen to the answer.
Have a laugh, give 'em heaps, take the p**s out of each other like always, that's half of what keeps this crew going. But when something's off, it's ok to say so. And it's ok to lean on the fellas next to you when it's not ok. That's not weakness, that's just how good crews work.
So check in on your work wife or husband today, or whatever we're calling Dwayne this week. Properly. You never know what someone's carrying under the coveralls.

Look after each other out there. 🧡

⚠️ DID YOU KNOW? ⚠️
If you're pumping waste oil back into a 205L drum and you don't vent it… that drum can and will let you know about it. Explosively. At the seals. With feeling.
Our apprentices found this out the hard way,a proper muck-around-and-find-out moment courtesy of good old pressure build-up and zero venting.
Nobody got hurt, but a few hearts stopped for a solid second and at least one apprentice needs a change of un**es.
Free lesson for the day: vent your drums, people. Physics does not negotiate.
⚠️ Disclaimer: No apprentices were harmed in the making of this post. Their dignity, however, took a direct hit.

🎉 IT'S OFFICIAL! JOSH IS A TRADESMAN! 🎉
Massive congrats to Josh on ticking off his apprenticeship and stepping up as a fully qualified tradesman. Well and truly earned.
This bloke rocked up on a whim in his second year and never looked back; hard worker, valued part of the TOTR team, and yeah, occasionally a temper that could strip a bolt at 20 paces. 😆
Josh, we reckon you're going to go far in this trade. Maybe not quite as far as that 10mm you just launched across the workshop, but far.
And nothing says "celebration at work" quite like a foot-long Subway and a box of Subway cookies. Living the high life, mate.
Proud of you mate. Cheers to the next chapter. 🍻
