i was lucky enough to secure a wellington driving job with the hobbit transporting equipment all over nz. Our first job to matamata required a fleet of over 30 trucks and vans to travel from wellington to matamata. The flow on was something like this...over 30 drivers on the day; all transport were hired for months; film crews comprising of specialist riggers, gaffers, and the like; petrol stations to refuel, vans and buses to transport drivers and crew on/off and around various film sites, hotels and motels for everyone, hired caravans, marquees, food bought in to sets, food cooked on site; hire mobile cranes and drivers; hired portaloos and staff to clean them; rental for film sites and the flow-on flows on. I was paid good money and was well looked after. Thankyou Peter Jackson for the opportunity to earn some decent money.
