Episode 22 | Built for the Fourth Box

In this episode of Rolling Forward, we bring back Port of Brisbane’s Nicola and NHVR’s Lazlo "Les" Bruzsa and Josh Diyn to unpack the story behind the Super-A, a first-of-its-kind combination officially launched in December 2025 design to go heavy or go home. This conversation goes beyond the launch itself and into the real work behind innovation in transport: the early concept drawings, the challenge of weight distribution, the collaboration with truck and trailer manufacturers, road and pavement assessments, safety simulations, field testing, and the unexpected design changes needed along the way. The episode also explores the wider significance of the Super-A within the Port of Brisbane ecosystem: productivity gains, fewer truck movements, easing driver shortages, improving freight efficiency, and even supporting lower emissions over time.

On our second episode outside SEQH HQ, we unpack what electrification actually looks like on Australian roads, beyond the hype, the politics, and the assumptions. Matt and Corbin, ex-truck drivers turned EV specialists, tell us about the strategies for real-world applications at ports, DCs, waste routes, and metro deliveries, diving into: * What makes an electric truck work (and when it doesn’t) * Why fit-for-purpose beats ideology * Noise, air quality, and why cities feel different when trucks go quiet * The hidden wins: idle time, driver experience, extended delivery windows * How early adopters are shaping the future without betting the business There’s no silver bullet here, but an open group of minds with a very clear aim: putting the right asset in the right application.

Episode 17 | From Good to Great: Accountability, Culture & Real Change

In Episode 17 of Rolling Forward, Brett and Nathan sit down with Jennifer Elliott, founder of Integrity & Values, to unpack what leadership really demands, especially in industries like transport and logistics where pressure, consequences, and pace are part of daily life.   Jennifer shares lessons from decades of coaching leaders: why the hardest part of leadership is leading yourself, how real growth requires uncomfortable self-reflection, and why high-performing teams are built on one non-negotiable currency — telling the truth. The conversation explores accountability without ego, “good to great” change, and how leaders create cultures where people feel safe to bring ideas, challenge thinking, and own results.   This is an honest, grounded episode about what it takes to build a business that grows people and how growing people is what ultimately grows performance.
