In this episode of the Ripple Effect Podcast, we’re joined by Milly — a veteran heavy haulage pilot driver with decades of wild stories, sharp wit, and a heart of gold. From navigating massive oversize loads across Australia to dealing with clueless motorists, dodgy radio calls, and breakdowns in the middle of nowhere, Milly shares what life is really like behind the pilot car wheel. It's not all flashing lights and wide loads — it’s early mornings, dirty boots, and holding your nerve when things get hairy. We talk about the weirdest things she’s seen on the road, near misses, truck-stop culture, and what it’s like being a woman in a male-dominated industry — especially when you’ve got to bark back just to be heard. There’s laughs, lessons, and moments of reflection — all wrapped up in that no-nonsense Milly style. 🎧 If you’ve ever driven a rig, followed a pilot, or wondered what really goes down on the open road — this one’s for you.
