Hulle ry saam en los mekaar op \u2019n sesuurlikse basis af om binne 24 uur hul aflewering te doen, baie keer op seepgladde paaie in die sneeu op vreesaanjaende kronkelroetes.<\/p>\n

Dit is nie snaaks om ongelukke langs die pad te kry nie, want die trokdrywers word baie moeg van die lang ure se bestuur.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So tussendeur vlieg sy die w\u00eareld vol om by haar kinders, wat onder andere in Engeland<\/a>, Australi\u00eb<\/a>\u00a0en Qatar<\/a>\u00a0bly, te gaan kuier en ook foto\u2019s te neem.<\/p>\n
