Hello, darkness, my old friend.I've come to talk with you again “ are the opening lyrics to the sound of silence - the theme tune to the graduate written and sung by Paul Simon. 

This week we go BACK and forth  with an old  friend to many transport operators and he explains how he experienced complete darkness whilst driving a hgv through the deserts of Namibia. If you can connect Switzerland with the plains of Africa then you will have guessed that it is Matt Eisenegger  BACKing the truck up on his life’s journey within the commercial road transport industry. 

Matt ‘s surname is not only keeping up with the joneses it’s uniqueness leaves other names in the dust of his desert vehicle. Unlike the common or garden name of our host Matt’s surname is Swiss and came to the east end of london with his great grandfather. His father made the move north having met his mother through a Wallace Arnold coach holiday in Cornwall. 

In this weeks conversation Matt Circles BACK to tell us how he moved  from maintaining trucks to selling them to reporting on them and then publishing the #FORS Magazine. 

His Afrikaner guide  in the sands of #Namibia realised that Matt and his fellow truck journalists visited an area of Africa that nobody had ever previously visited. 

In this podcast we discover  if like Paul Simon’s lyrics “in restless dreams he walked alone” in the silence of the darkness. Thankfully he breaks his silence on how  his vision came silently creeping  to him whilst he was sleeping under a canopy under the stars .....
