Medium Vehicles sales Manufacturer

March saw a total of 1,245 heavy-duty trucks delivered, up 216 units on February’s total and 210 trucks ahead of March 2021. With March 2018 sitting at 1,174, this is looking very promising. The heavy-duty sector now sits at 3,012 units delivered YTD. Kenworth kept its commanding lead in March with 271 deliveries, up 45 on February to reach a total of 647 YTD and comfortably ahead of its March 2021 total of 222. Isuzu took second place with 186, up nine on February and a significant increase on March 2021’s figure of 102. This brought Isuzu to 490 YTD, while third place Volvo saw an increase of 16 on February’s total to reach 177 and manage a YTD of 447. Mack took over fourth place for March with 90 units – a sizable increase on February’s 52 – while UD Trucks tucked itself into fifth with 70, up from 55 the previous month. Mercedes-Benz, despite selling 11 more than February, was pushed down the rankings with a total of 69, with DAF (60), Scania (59), Hino (58) and Fuso (57) providing a tidy run through the middle of the pack. Of the rest, MAN’s total of 36 saw it double its March 2021 total of 18, while Dennis Eagle unfortunately took a plunge down to one after last March’s 15.

Light-duty

The medium-duty segment again provided solid sales, with a March total of 686 trucks delivered, up 84 units on March 2021 and a notable increase of 142 units on the previous month. This brings the segment total to 1,651 YTD, up 189 trucks on 2021 first quarter sales, if a bit behind 2018’s first quarter result of 1,768. March 2022 saw Isuzu maintain a sizeable lead with 295 deliveries – 47 ahead of its February total – to bring it to 753 YTD. This a growth of 179 units compared to the first quarter of 2021. Hino remains second with a March 2022 total of 228, up 56 units on the previous month and squeaking just ahead of its March 2021 total of 222. Third place Fuso is also up on February’s total with 121 deliveries and is also running slightly ahead of March 2021’s 115. Numbers drop sharply from this point, with UD Trucks in fourth on 15 and the remaining eight medium-duty manufacturers all under 10 units.

Light-duty truck sales remain strong, over double that of the medium-duty sector and 127 ahead of the heavy-duty sector, with a March 2022 total of 1,428. This is an increase of 197 light-duty trucks sold on March last year. The segment sits up 248 trucks YTD compared to 2021, with a total of 3,219. Isuzu is too hot to touch with 576 deliveries in March – a massive 350 unit increase on March 2021 and a YTD of 1,207 over double that of last year. This was also a significant increase of 230 units on its February total, making it clearly the one to watch. Hino is starting to pull away in second with a March total of 329 units compared to Fuso’s 257 in third, though both show significant growth on March 2021’s 222 and 115 totals, respectively. Iveco retains fourth place with 97 – a huge increase on its March 2021 total of 13 and an increase of 35 units on its February 2022 result. The middle of the pack is looking a lot healthier than last year, with Fiat also bringing 66 units and Mercedes-Benz bringing 52 to the total.

IN BUSINESS

With a new record set for first-quarter sales figures of new trucks in Australia, 2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the market. Steve Brooks looks at the names to watch

Kenworth is making the most of a booming heavy-duty market

Kenworth’s command of a

heavy-duty

sector was particularly strong

Three months doesn’t make a year but if the results of the first quarter of 2022 are anything to go by, this will be a year that sets an entirely new bar for some Australian truck suppliers. Despite the impacts of a pandemic and political grandstanding on a grand scale, the demand for trucks has never been so consistently strong, culminating in an exceptional first quarter result. In fact, the best first quarter result on record. As Truck Industry Council chief executive, Tony McMullan, comments: “The first three months of 2022 have brought record new truck sales in Australia. “As we have seen since the beginning of 2022, the leader of this growth has been at the heavy end of the market, with both heavy- and medium-duty sectors showing strong growth, up 23.6 per cent and 12.9 per cent, respectively.” But so, too, has the light-duty category improved significantly. “Over the same period, light-duty truck sales are up by 8.4 per cent,” he remarks. Looking at the bigger picture, McMullan says: “This level of sales growth across all truck segments will likely stem the ageing of our truck fleet. However, more needs to be done to ensure that the significant level of safety, environmental and productivity

features available in newer trucks permeates through our nation’s fleet.” On the eve of a federal election, however, he also took a swipe at the federal government’s lack of effort on the emissions front. “The federal government’s inaction in implementing ADR80/04, Euro VI and alternatives is disappointing,” he says. Some brands, of course, achieved significantly better results than others and, predictably, Kenworth’s command of a heavy-duty sector, delivering 3,012 trucks in the first quarter, was particularly strong. At the end of March, Kenworth held 21.5 per cent of the sector, delivering 647 units in the first quarter of the year, while corporate colleague DAF fell to 4.1 per cent (124 units) after a record result in 2021. Perhaps the biggest surprise, however, came from overall market leader Isuzu. Despite the fact it has no dedicated prime mover model in its vast local line-up, Isuzu Australia knocked Volvo out of second place in the heavy-duty stakes by taking 16.3 per cent on the delivery of 490 units. In our recent exclusive interview with Isuzu Australia chief Andrew Harbison, he made no secret of his belief that with at least one modern heavy-duty model in the stable,

DEALS Data

Isuzu was more than capable of challenging Kenworth’s long-established leadership. Nor did Harbison deny his frustration that despite Isuzu buying UD from Volvo Group, the popular UD Quon continues to be sold through Volvo Group Australia (VGA). “There’s no doubt in my mind Isuzu Australia could do a very, very good job of distributing a UD heavy-duty product,” he says. Positive trend Meantime, VGA appears to be on the road back from a few difficult years. The group’s premier Volvo brand may have lost second place on the heavy-duty ladder in the first quarter results but its 14.8 per cent on the delivery of 447 units at least points to a trend in the right direction. From there, it’s a big drop to fourth and fifth positions where Volvo stablemates Mack and UD held 6.6 per cent (200 units) and 5.9 per cent (179 units), respectively, at the end of the first quarter. For Mack particularly, it’s a welcome improvement on the poor performance of 2021, while for UD, it signals consistent acceptance of the versatile Quon. All up, the combined first quarter results of Volvo, Mack and UD put VGA at the top of the corporate rankings with 27.3 per cent of the heavy-duty sector, ahead of PACCAR’s Kenworth and DAF with 25.6 per cent, and both groups a long way ahead of Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz, Fuso and Freightliner trio on 12.8 per cent. The galloping success of Mercedes-Benz and Scania over the past few years slowed to a modest canter in the first quarter of this year, notching 5.4 per cent (163 units) and 5.2 per cent (158 units) respectively as supply issues continue to dog the fully imported brands. Yet, arguably the biggest concern for the Daimler Trucks trio is the consistently slight sales of its Freightliner Cascadia conventional. After a lacklustre 2021, accounting for 3.4 per cent of the heavy-duty market with sales of 439 units, Freightliner’s 3.1 per cent on the delivery of just 94 units in the first three months of this year was considerably less than inspiring. From any angle, Cascadia has a great deal of ground to cover to bridge the gap with a seemingly resurgent Mack and Kenworth’s vice-like hold on the conventional class. Among the placegetters, Japan’s Hino and Fuso each have new models on offer and appear locked in a battle for heavyduty business with 4.4 and 4.3 per cent, respectively, while Iveco’s 2.9 per cent was

perhaps predictable given the pending end of local assembly at the historic Dandenong (Vic) factory. The last three cellar dwellers in the first quarter figures are all from the Penske stable with MAN on 2.5 per cent, Western Star on 2.4 and waste specialist Dennis Eagle on a miniscule 0.2 per cent. In the medium-duty class, there were no surprises, with Isuzu dominating as it always does, holding 45.6 per cent, perennial bridesmaid Hino on 30.9 and Fuso on 17.9 per cent. With these three brands accounting for 94.4 per cent of the medium-duty class, the pickings are sure to remain exceedingly slim for the remainder of the field. There was, however, one medium-duty newcomer worth mentioning. SEA Electric recorded three sales in the first quarter of the year. A sign of the future, perhaps! And, finally, while the light-duty league continued Isuzu’s historic domination with 37.5 per cent at the end of the first quarter, the contest between Hino and Fuso remains intense with 23.6 and 21.3 per cent, respectively. From the figures so far, 2022 will be a year of record results but there’s an increasingly evident trend that the strong will only become stronger and stragglers will struggle to make the most of a hugely buoyant market.

With a strong focus on customer service and supplying high quality used trucks, trailers and heavy machinery, EPJ Trading is a family-run business that goes that extra mile

Jack and Sharon Griffiths

EPJ is

dedicated

to keeping its customers satisfied

Based in Trentham, about 90km north-west of Melbourne, EPJ Trading is a supplier of used trucks, trailers and earthmoving and forestry machinery and has a high level of customer service at its core. Begun by Peter Griffiths around 50 years ago, the vision for EPJ Trading was to grow and maintain a stable working environment for future generations as well as provide quality service to customers. Today, EPJ is part of a group of companies run by four of Peter’s children: Sharon, Jack, Mark and Ben Griffiths. The group of companies include an earthmoving division in Victoria and beef cattle farming and a logging/forestry enterprise in Tasmania. On average, EPJ has 10 trucks, 10 trailers and 20 machines for sale, covering all ages, makes and models of used trucks and machines, and supplying these across Australia and internationally. Previously the company manufactured plant trailers and low loaders and brings this expertise to the used truck and machinery market. EPJ’s business model includes the supply of quality older trucks to the market for a fair price and the company aims to cater to a market that does not want, or is unable

to, purchase new trucks. It trades in prime movers, tippers and water carts of all models, with a focus on the Kenworth brand. With interruptions to supply chains due to COVID and the current huge demand for trucks both causing delays in the supply of new vehicles, EPJ has had many new customers through the door looking for quality used trucks for their fleets. EPJ is dedicated to keeping its customers satisfied, with the company being built on a reputation of fairness and integrity. It is this reputation for being honest and providing quality service that has allowed this business to thrive, with many repeat satisfied customers. It also aims to respond promptly to all enquiries and will endeavour to source items for clients that it doesn’t have in stock. EPJ is also actively involved with the community, sponsoring the Trentham Football Netball Club and local CFA volunteer fire brigade, and are sponsors of the 2022 Trentham Spudfest, which took place at the beginning of May and celebrates the local potato harvest.

It might not be a name you see that often in the world of road transport, but, like the mythic big cats prowling the bush, maybe on a rare occasion you’ll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a Cat truck flash past you on a dark road.

This 2014 CT630 prime mover is from when Cat tried to stake a claim on the Australian truck market by working alongside Navistar in a move that, ultimately, proved to be short lived. However, if you are intrigued by novelty, this truck has under 400,000km under the belt and has been well kept over the years. With a Cat C15 engine providing 550hp (410kW), 18-speed transmission and a big sleeper, give it a look.

The same Cat C15 550hp engine powers this Kenny as well, mated to an 18-speed Roadranger transmission. There is also A/G 400 air-bag suspension, Dana R46-170 diffs @ 4.1 ratio and Gantry dual exhausts. In the back are twin bunks and in the front twin air ride seats. Several stylish elements elevate this truck above the crowd with an alloy bullbar and rims matched by silver paintwork and scrollwork, with oxblood trim and padding on the inside the cab. With Kenworth the best-selling new truck brand in Australia, you might struggle to get your hands on one any time soon, but here we have a classic example of the Kenny brand with plenty left to give.

’ 86 Mack Super-Liner MKII V8 500hp 12-spd transmission 300,000km $325,000 Bulla VIC 0439 476 666

If you thought the silver Kenworth or Cat were eye-catching, this takes impressive to a whole new level. It may have originally been a 1986 Mack Superliner MKII but an extensive restoration has turned this into an altar to the Bulldog. There’s so much bling on this thing you’ll be blinding the hoards of bystanders that are sure to want to give it a look over. And have you always felt that a dog on the front just wasn’t enough? Well, there are two more on top of the chunky stack intakes and even on the seat covers inside. The mundane details seem irrelevant after the striking exterior, but if you want to know what’s under the bonnet it’s a 500hp V8 with 12-speed gearbox and rated to 110 tonnes GCM. Clearly a labour of love, this Mack comes with a lively price tag but is also a unique homage to the brand.

Iveco to drop dealerships in New Zealand Federal Budget receives mixed reactions Fuel excise reduction raises questions Will new trucks improve road safety?

29/4/2022 1:06 pm

News Iveco will now sell its own trucks in New Zealand

Iveco moves away from dealerships in NZ Iveco Group will take all of its truck sales in-house As part of an ongoing operational review following its transition to standalone manufacturer and distributor of ‘on-highway’ assets, Iveco Group has announced that it will assume full responsibility for Iveco vehicle sales in New Zealand, via its Auckland facility. The decision is based on the company’s desire to form even closer relationships with its New Zealand customer base, with a view to better servicing its needs. Iveco’s Auckland site already accounts for the majority of vehicle sales in New Zealand, meaning most buyers will be unaffected by the move. The operational change will mean that three existing dealerships will cease sales of Iveco vehicles in six months’ time. Iveco Group has invited the affected dealerships to remain part of the network in service and or parts capacities, and is also in the process of appointing additional service and parts dealers to grow its capabilities in these areas. Iveco Trucks Australia head of network, product and marketing, Ella Letiagina, says that New Zealand is an important and growing market for the brand. “In recent years, Iveco has experienced strong growth in New Zealand, especially since the opening of our flagship sales service and parts facility in Wiri, Auckland during early 2019,” Letiagina says.

“We believe that by concentrating sales efforts at this location we can further streamline our processes, leading to greater efficiencies, while also benefiting future buyers who will enjoy a more engaging and seamless customer journey.” Letiagina acknowledged the contribution that the three impacted dealerships – AdvanceQuip, Star Trucks International and Waikato Iveco – had made during their tenure as Iveco sales dealerships. “I would like to thank our outgoing dealerships for their dedication to our brand and Iveco customers over the years,” she says.

“And for existing and prospective New Zealand Iveco owners, I reassure them that our new direction will see even more engagement with them and that they’ll be well catered to, not only from a sales perspective, but from a total ownership experience. “We’re also extremely excited about bringing several new products to New Zealand later in the year.” This change across the ditch comes after Iveco announced in December last year it will extinguish manufacturing capabilities at its Dandenong, Victoria factory mid-2022 in favour of full importation of Iveco trucks from Spain.

David Armstrong tribute 27/4/59 – 17/4/22

Travelling about the countryside, meeting and interviewing truck enthusiasts, is certainly one of the perks of this transport media game. Like minded, genuine men and women who share a passion for trucks and road transport in general, quite often become mates through shared interests. David Armstrong was one of those blokes. Sadly, while the Easter long weekend was being enjoyed by many, Armstrong passed away suddenly on Sunday April 17. I met him in August 2021 at his home in Cootamundra to compile a feature for the September issue of Deals on Wheels.

David Armstrong

Armstrong and his Katoomba blue R-200 International, which he restored with his son Craig (who passed away in 2015) were regulars at truck show and classic-truck, road run events, will be sorely missed by his fellow enthusiasts. Sincere condolences to his wife, Vicky, and family at this difficult time, from myself and the Deals on Wheels team. – Warren Caves

News The report recommends ways of making the road safer for freight operators and transport companies

Inquiry into road safety tabled The road safety report calls on governments to implement new laws to protect freight operators and transport workers The Joint Select Committee on Road Safety has tabled its final report for its Inquiry into Road Safety. The report examines factors contributing to fatal and serious injuries on Australian roads and considers opportunities to improve road safety outcomes for freight operators and transport companies. Some of the measures it uses to improve road safety include: • Supporting the design, construction and maintenance of highquality road infrastructure that minimises the likelihood and severity of road crashes • Encouraging the uptake of modern

heavy vehicles fitted with safety features • Effectively managing speeds to safe levels • Ensuring road users and freight operators are equipped with knowledge and skills to respond appropriately to transport safety risks • Promoting safety for gig economy participants who use the road as a workplace • Enhancing road safety in the heavy vehicle sector. The tabled report identifies the need for effective leadership

in relation to national road safety, noting that past efforts to improve road safety have been stymied by poor governance and failure to report progress. The importance of high-quality research and accurate data to help understand the road safety environment for heavy vehicle users and freight operators is critical to improve road safety outcomes. The report includes 61 recommendations relating to these matters and stresses the importance of making the road safe for transport companies using the road. “The committee’s report outlines a series of measures that may be taken to improve road safety in the shortterm, while also highlighting some of the steps that should be taken if we are to achieve sustainable reductions in road trauma into the future,” committee chair Darren Chester says. Chester and the report says that although the committee has outlined ways to improve road safety, it’s ultimately up to governments to take responsibility for the roads and implement these recommendations urgently.

RVS transition period extended The road vehicle standards period will extend by a year

The RVS transitional period will be extended to June 30, 2023

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications has advised the road vehicle standards (RVS) transitional period will be extended by 12 months until June 30, 2023. The extension supports those in the transport industry who have been affected by the Covid pandemic and global supply chain issues resulting

from it, which have made it challenging to transition to the new regulatory framework in time. Any previous transitional period deadlines that occurred before June 30, 2022 have also been extended by 12 months, but it’s important to note this doesn’t include any deadlines that have already expired. The extension will also facilitate an

uninterrupted supply of vehicles to the market by allowing the provision of vehicles approved under the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 that would otherwise not be able to be provided to the market past June 30, 2022. The department says it is important that businesses continue making arrangements to transition to the RVS legislation so they can continue providing vehicles after July 1, 2023. “We will continue to work with you to ensure the transition to the new regulatory framework is as smooth as possible,” the Department’s advice says. “If you have already transitioned to the RVS legislation you can continue providing road vehicles using approvals granted to you under the new legislation. “We are in the process of updating relevant pages on the Department’s website and this will be completed shortly.”

News The federal Budget is a mixed bag for transport

RMIT expert weighs in on transport budget An industry transport expert says the Budget has its positives and negatives for the sector A transport expert says the federal Budget is significant but also a missed opportunity when it comes to the transport sector. Professor Jago Dodson is a professor of urban policy and director at the Centre for Urban Research at RMIT University. The Budget was handed down at the end of March by the federal government, which made announcements regarding funding of the Australian transport industry. Dodson says the funding of intermodal freight terminals in Victoria is a significant development when it comes to its infrastructure.

“The most significant announcements in relation to transport and infrastructure in Victoria centre around the two multimodal freight terminals in Beveridge in Melbourne’s north and in Truganina in the west,” Dodson says. “It signals confidence in the Inland Rail project and will go some way to reducing the number of trucks on Melbourne’s roads, reducing congestion and contributing to carbon savings.” The Budget also handed down money to fund certain road upgrades in Victoria to help ease traffic congestion and enhance the

efficiency of the transport industry. “There is also some funding for some notable but not hugely significant road upgrades, including Mickleham Road in Melbourne’s north,” Dodson says. But, according to Dodson, the Budget was also underwhelming for those in the transport and infrastructure sector, with the federal government not funding sustainable transport options. “Overall, the Budget has been another missed opportunity to support Victorians and Melbournians who are interested in cycling and walking as a means of travel,” Dodson says. Dodson also laments the federal government’s decision to reduce the current fuel excise. “The fuel excise reduction is a further disappointing measure,” Dodson says. “It is better to provide general income relief or tax credit than to diminish a mechanism that assists to moderate travel behaviour away from cars. “And the revenue foregone is money that can’t be spent to maintain roads or expand public transport, walking and cycling.”

HVIA commends jobs and skills budget focus The HVIA CEO says the budget focuses on critical areas in the transport industry The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) is commending the federal government for focusing on jobs, skills and training in the 2022 Budget. This comes despite many in the transport industry lamenting the Budget for not doing enough for sustainable transport and companies. HVIA says the budget offers business encouragement to take on new apprentices and to upskill existing workers. “There is a lot in the Budget for our members to work with. Our industry is in desperate need of new skilled workers and these initiatives are designed to ramp up the pipeline of apprentices that underpin our future workforce,” HVIA CEO Todd Hacking says. “There are also focused initiatives in there towards training existing workers

The Budget has poured funding into skills training in the transport industry

to ensure they are equipped with the skills to be a part of the next phase in our industry’s future.” HVIA says it is looking at the skillsets

and training needed to service fleets that will be dominated by battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in future. The need for skilled migration is another factor necessary of funding according to HVIA, with the industry needing to fill current vacancies in the workforce. “The Budget announcements have some welcome investment opportunities for small business and some announcements that reflect the evolving needs of the workforce including a more flexible approach to maternity leave,” Hacking says. “The relief at the bowser through a temporary reduction in fuel excise will not only make a big difference to fleet operators, but the impact will also make a difference all the way down the supply chain.”

QTA election blueprint to focus on freight investment The association calls for a mass investment in road freight to revitalise the industry The Queensland Trucking Association (QTA) has released its federal election blueprint publicly, saying it wants the government to focus on a “generation defining” investment in road freight. According to the QTA, issues impacting the road freight industry need to be at the forefront of the policy debate, as now is the time to shape and improve road freight efficiency in Australia. With economic policies being a cornerstone of the upcoming election, the QTA wants emphasis to be placed on the road freight industry. The QTA says the road freight sector is crucial to the prosperity and growth of the nation, as it stimulates employment opportunities and drives economic growth. “The opportunity must be taken to improve road freight efficiencies for the benefit of our economy and international competitiveness,” QTA CEO Gary Mahon says. Released under the banner of the QTA’s ‘Four the Future of Road Freight’ election pillars, it’s key areas it wants attention focused on include: • Increasing infrastructure funding for Queensland bridges, freight routes and rest stops • Funding of a pilot of the QTA Jobs Ready driver training program • Reforming the workplace relations framework to support employers • Increasing tax incentives to boost uptake of zero emissions and safety technology “The time is now to make investments to increase the connectivity to export markets and ports that supply our communities in all weather,” Mahon says. “To achieve this, funding must be directed towards the Inland Freight route and connecting bridges to strengthen the freight network. “Unlocking access for high productivity vehicles will have far-reaching benefits across the

entire supply chain and drive industry confidence to safely invest in the future.” According to the QTA, complex Commonwealth and state taxes are the major barriers or businesses when it comes to investing in high productivity and zero emissions vehicles. The QTA want these taxes to be stamped out and urge the next federal government to direct more economic stimulus packages towards unlocking key freight routes

while also training more heavy vehicle drivers to progress the future of the transport industry.

Labor pledges truck stop investment Labor’s pre-election announcement allows truckies to rest easy The Labor party has made a preelection pledge to invest $80 million into new rest areas for truck drivers across the country. The truck pit stop initiative forms a major part of Labor’s freight industry policies ahead of the upcoming federal election. Announced by Senator Glenn Sterle, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure Catherine King and Labor candidate Zaneta Mascarenhas, the new truck stop project would commit funding to building new and upgraded rest areas for truckies. “Truck drivers travel day and night to keep Australia moving,” Sterle says. “But despite their importance to our economy and our way of life, drivers are too often forced to put up with a serious lack of suitable rest areas.” The $80 million pledge is the first time Sterle admits to seeing a federal commitment going “directly towards improving the safety and productivity of our truckies”.

But it’s no blanket funding boost – Steele says consultation and tailoring specific projects to truckies’ needs is pivotal to the initiative’s success. “Most importantly, specific projects will be selected in close consultation with the men and women who have their hands on the steering wheel day in and day out,” Steele says. “It is imperative that our truck drivers have quality rest. The only way they can do that is if they have access to and can rely on fit for purpose rest areas where they need them.” The Labor party says the truck stop issue is one that has been made loud and clear by the transport industry. Having also reared its head in the recent Senate inquiry into the road transport industry, Labor says it’s now time to act on the issue and pledge money towards placing truckies at the top of their list.

ATA and TWU clash over work diaries Where the ATA wants to abolish work diaries, the TWU says this will “gut safety standards” In an effort to break the stalemate in the National Transport Commission’s (NTC) review of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), the Australian Trucking Association has drafted a replacement Road Transport Act, which includes getting rid of work diaries. “The word ‘circus’ conjures up images of colourful clowns, trapeze artists and popcorn. However, to the trucking industry, the word ‘circus’ is what they’re using to describe the National Transport Commission’s review of the HVNL,” the ATA says in a statement released on its website. “The review has dragged on since 2018 and there’s no end in sight. To say it’s disappointing is an absolute understatement.” The ATA has decided to “take action and introduce a circuit breaker” that acts as an alternative policy. Included in the Act are several proposals, such as the need for every business operating trucks to address driver fatigue in its safety management system (SMS). Other regulations would set out maximum work hours for noncertified businesses, while certified businesses could exceed this set level if it has appropriate risk controls. Under the policy’s regulations,

businesses would also be required to keep records of driver work hours instead of using official work diaries, meaning minor fatigue/work diary offences would be eliminated. Instead, long-term fitness for duty would be handled through the licensing system, as all heavy vehicle drivers would be required to have regular medicals against fit for purpose medical standards. Hitting back However, the Transport Workers Union (TWU) condemned the idea of removing work diaries, saying that ATA’s proposed changes show it doesn’t represent drivers’ interests and warning that it would lead to increased numbers of crashes and fatalities on the road. The TWU says that having employers in charge of monitoring driving hours puts “the fox in charge of the henhouse”, with a 2021 survey conducted by the union of 1,100 truckies revealing that one in four had been pressured by their employer to work beyond legal hours and skip rest breaks, while one in five had been pressured to falsify working hours in their logbooks. “The ATA submission also proposes watering down certification rules, allowing transport businesses

The ATA wants to shift the responsibility of recording of driver work hours to the employer

who claim they are not exceeding maximum working hours to operate without ongoing scrutiny of their safety standards and practices,” TWU says in a statement. “Road transport is an industry in crisis, with deadly pressure from wealthy companies at the top of supply chains to speed and drive tired to meet unrealistic deadlines compounded by gig companies undercutting the industry.” TWU national assistant secretary Nick McIntosh says if the National Transport Commission is serious about improving standards in the industry, the ATA’s proposal must be rejected. “Federal regulation is absolutely the best way to clean up the industry’s economics, but not like this,” he says. “Drivers need an independent body with the power to set enforceable standards in road transport; something the Senate recommended over six months ago. Regulation like this would drastically lift standards and stop unregulated gig bottom feeders like Amazon from undercutting the industry.”

News 22 recommendations have been made to the NSW government to improve protections for gig workers

Gig economy report says NSW lagging behind TWU wants the NSW government to follow a recent inquiry report The Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) says the New South Wales government must make changes to the gig economy, after the release of a report focusing on the gig economy in the state. The report, Impact of Technological and Other Change on the Future of Work and Workers in New South Wales: Report 1 – The Gig Economy, is the outcome of the NSW Upper House’s Future of Work Inquiry and recommends the NSW government establish a new tribunal to set enforceable and fair standards for all workers in the gig economy regardless of their employment classification. “These workers’ legal status under Commonwealth legislation as ‘independent contractors’ as opposed to ‘employees’ means they have few workplace entitlements,” explains committee chair the Hon Danial Mookhey in the report’s foreword. “While the committee has noted the positive impact of on-demand work on the New South Wales economy, and some benefits that can flow for workers from flexible arrangements, our primary focus

TWU national secretary Michael Kaine

has been on the many significant disadvantages attached: the absence of guaranteed minimum wages and working hours, and of paid leave provisions; poor safety standards; and the lack of a fair dispute system in the event of workplace injury.” The committee says that NSW is falling behind other states in developing laws to establish decent working conditions for gig workers, that a lack of minimum wage and other workplace entitlements for gig workers is increasing inequality, gig workers lack the power to interact and negotiate with on-demand

platforms, and that the lack of access to a low-cost independent tribunal to hear and decide disputes is leading to injustice in the state. The report lays out 22 recommendations to provide greater protections for gig workers, covering wages, collective bargaining, work health and safety and workers’ compensation. The TWU says this report highlights the federal government’s failure to regulate the industry, instead leaving the states to devise an industrial system. It says the inquiry’s recommendation will help create a much-needed model to lift industry standards. “The fact this inquiry was held in the first place is a testament to the scores of gig workers across NSW prepared to call out gig behemoths’ exploitation and abuse,” TWU national secretary Michael Kaine says. “If adopted, these recommendations would finally bring NSW’s industrial system into the 21st century, as a tribunal with strong powers to set enforceable standards would help end the insecure work crisis undercutting secure jobs.” The TWU says the current gig model of exploitation is built around companies deliberately placing workers outside industrial protections so they can be loaded up with unsafe work or risk being terminated, which could result in higher numbers of serious injuries and deaths. “The reality is that the federal government has let gig exploitation rip across Australia,” Kaine says. “It’s clear the only job Scott Morrison is worried about securing is his own, and Australian workers are being hung out to dry in the process.” The recent inquiry received submissions from and heard countless stories of gig workers being abused, underpaid fair rates and seriously injured on the job, as well as failures to report workplace deaths of gig workers.

ATSB releases WA truck crash review The Bureau suggests safety tips for truck drivers to avoid level crossing collisions with trains The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has released a report on a 2021 truck/freight crash in Western Australia to prevent further instances and provide information for truck drivers regarding driving safety. A road-train, comprising of a prime mover and three tipper trailers, entered Kalgoorlie’s Yarri Road, Parkeston level crossing in front of a freight train in February 2021, causing the collision that resulted in serious injuries. An ATSB safety review investigated the characteristics and circumstances of the level crossing collision involving the train and heavy vehicle to recommend safety tips for all freight operators to avoid similar crashes in future. The review found the driver of the truck was distracted by reaffixing their mobile phone mount to their vehicle’s windscreen before the truck entered an active level crossing and collided with the freight train. The ATSB says the assumption drawn from this information is that the truck driver likely didn’t see the train coming until it was too late to stop before colliding with the freight vehicle. The train crew including a driver and tutor driver sustained

serious injuries, while the truck and train were both substantially damaged due to the train derailing and coming to a rest about 40 metres from the impact point. “Approaching the Yarri Road level crossing from the south, drivers need to look ahead and across a curve to see the active crossing lights,” ATSB director of transport safety Dr Michael Walker says. “Because of the effects of the distraction, the truck driver was probably only looking at the section of road directly ahead of the vehicle, contributing to them not identifying the flashing lights until it was too late to stop.” According to the ATSB review, the truck driver was reattaching a dash-mounted mobile phone cradle while trying to place the mobile phone in the cradle, meaning the driver’s attention was diverted from the road for critical periods ahead of the level crossing. The ATSB says the level crossing design wasn’t the issue, with Walker saying it “was consistent with the applicable Australian standard and provided sufficient opportunity for attentive drivers to identify the flashing light level crossing controls and stop”. The investigation notes the truck

driver was familiar with the route but hadn’t encountered a train at that level crossing before, with the ATSB saying it’s a timely reminder for truck operators and businesses to stress paying attention and remaining safe on the roads to its drivers. “Given the size and weight of most trains, the onus to take action to avoid a level crossing collision rests almost entirely on the road vehicle user,” Walker says. There have been 11 collisions between heavy road vehicles and trains at level crossings across Australia between July 2020 and June 2021, with 23 such collisions occurring over the past five years. “In 2021, the ATSB commenced a safety study into level crossing collisions involving trains and heavy road vehicles in Australia,” Walker says. “The study is on-going and includes a review of previous collisions to determine their characteristics and circumstances, and also determine if there are any unidentified systemic safety issues or learning opportunities that could enhance the safety of future transport operations.”

The webinar releases results on a heavy vehicle driver fatigue study

VicRoads program reviewing smarter roads The program is already shaving travel time off busy freight routes When were you last stuck in bumperto-bumper traffic, lamenting the traffic lights? VicRoads is onto it, having started its biggest ever traffic light review to make transport easier for drivers and freight operators. VicRoads director of transport operations Emily Lodder joined Rafael Epstein on ABC Radio’s Drive program recently to discuss the review and its progress. “So far, we have reviewed 331 signal sites in Melbourne’s west, east and south-east, and we’re going to be reviewing a total of 850 by the end of the year before we move to the rest of metro Melbourne, which will be another 2,000 sets of lights next year,” Lodder says. “Previously we’ve reviewed these signals about once every 10 years, and that’s because of the numbers of tools, systems and resources we had available, that was as quickly as we could get to them.” But the smarter roads program, led by VicRoads, has meant Lodder and her team can get to Melbourne’s traffic lights more frequently to ensure smooth operation and prevent congestion through key freight routes. Under the program, traffic lights will be reviewed once every four years to ensure signals run smoothly and are synchronised across corridors to share green time fairly. “That’s really important – we’re not just sharing green time between cars; we’re considering everyone at the

The smarter roads program will ensure all intersections run as smoothly as possible

intersections. All modes of transport, including buses, trams, cyclists and pedestrians as well,” Lodder says. The smarter roads program focuses on safety, with engineers optimising traffic lights to make it easier for transport users and freight operators to get where they need to be. The review includes examining when intersections have their greatest demand and other trends, including signal timing and coordination. According to VicRoads benefits are already being seen, with motorists travelling near the Monash Freeway seeing an average saving of two and a half minutes in morning peak hours. Outbound truck drivers in Werribee are also benefiting, saving up to five minutes during afternoon peak periods, while in Dandenong there’s also been incremental travel time improvement. Once done working on these areas, VicRoads will attack closer to the city and the key freight routes in the inner suburbs. “Once we finish in the west, east and south-east we’ll be looking at the rest of metro Melbourne, so we’ll be focusing on the inner suburbs around the CBD, especially where we have lots of public transport movements,” Lodder says.

NRSPP releases driver fatigue webinar The webinar releases the results of a study on driver distraction technology With driver fatigue being a major focus for the Australian trucking industry in recent times, the National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP) has released a new webinar to help provide guidance for transport workers and their employers regarding how best to stay safe on the roads. The webinar Emerging Technologies Driver Monitoring Project: Eyes on Fatigue presents an overview and the results of a recently conducted research into the heavy vehicle transport and logistics sector. Part of a joint initiative involving the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), the Queensland Trucking Association (QTA), In Cabin Technology Providers and 11 transport and logistics organisations and drivers. Aiming to provide insight into determining the effectiveness of in cabin driver monitoring technology designed to reduce driver distraction, inattention and fatigue in a heavy vehicle transport operation, the results have been discussed in the online webinar. Presented by senior lecturer in organisational psychology Dr Darren Wishart, his expertise in the work driving safety area helps to assist organisations in driver behaviour change and reducing the frequency and severity of crashes in organisational vehicle fleets. To watch the webinar and learn the results of the study, as well as receiving tips on how to limit heavy vehicle incidents while out on the road, head to the NRSPP website at www.nrspp. org.au/resources/webinar-emergingtechnologies-driver-monitoring-projecteyes-on-fatigue, where you can download the presentation.

Austroads’ project delivery guide has been updated to improve efficiency

Updated guide to project delivery Austroads has updated its project delivery guide to reduce costs for transport agencies Austroads has updated Parts 2 and 3 of the Guide to Project Delivery to improve efficiencies and reduce costs for transport agencies in the project delivery stage. Having been informed by the feedback from practitioners and the review of international, national and local infrastructure projects, the updates enhance guidance on project planning, providing most current industry best practice and techniques. Austroads says the guides had to be updated to align with progressing project delivery practices and concepts. “The focus of this project was on assessing common challenges and reviewing new and emerging methodologies and how they can be applied to improve quality outputs and value for money for project delivery,” Austroads’ transport infrastructure program manager Ross Guppy says. The revised Part 2 covers planning and controlling projects, providing high-level guidance on risk, procurement strategy, change control, performance monitoring, community engagement, tendering and contract award, while allowing for the preferred practice of jurisdictions. Part 2 outlines the principles and advantages of modern methodologies, such as lean construction, digital engineering incorporating building information modelling and new engineering contract. “These methodologies can be beneficial at the planning, design and procurement stages to reduce costs, shorten construction times, increase productivity and manage projects efficiently and effectively,” Guppy says. Other updates include adding a program manager role to the role clarity section and modifying the governance section to expand on the personnel that should be informed during times of project delays or risks. Two chapters on tendering and contract award were also moved into Part 2 from Part 3 of the Guide to Project Delivery. Slight changes were made in Part 3 relating to contract management and terminology.

WA not adopting HVNL changes WA is one of two Australian state/territories that haven’t agreed to the HVNL Western Australia and the Northern Territory are the only two Australian state or territories who still refuse to sign the nationally recommended Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) due to preferring their own systems. For most of Australia, the HVNL governs all regulations regarding heavy vehicles and freight operators in the transport industry. But WA and the NT have never signed the intergovernmental agreement for the HVNL from the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), instead preferring to use their own transport management systems and laws. A 2021 report from the National Transport Committee (NTC) titled National Transport Reform Implementation Monitoring Report says the two Australian regions have never signed the HVNL agreements nor their amendments, while WA is also yet to sign the Rail Safety National Law agreement. According to the WA government, it says the motion of refusing the HVNL started back in 2011. “In 2011 the then Premier of WA declined signing the HVNL as the benefits to the state of this reform were not demonstrated,” WA transport minister Rita Saffioti says. “Successive transport ministers have consistently advised the Commonwealth that WA will not be adopting the HVNL, as the WA government is committed to maintaining its own heavy vehicle driver fatigue arrangements.” WorkSafe WA currently manages WA’s driver fatigue scheme under

occupational health and safety legislation in a system that was developed in close consultation with the WA industry. The WA government says its current policies are tailored to suit the unique operating environment in WA. “The strong relationship between the WA government and the transport industry is critical in maintaining the current high levels of safety, productivity and efficiency,” Saffioti says. But the WA rules are a work in progress – the WA government has strengthened the Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (WAHVA) to include compliance legislation. Its main difference is that the WAHVA is mandatory for all Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) operators, while the NHVR’s accreditation system isn’t. Saffioti says WA’s individual laws and systems put the state’s transport industry ahead of the other states. “Engaging with the transport industry has helped WA achieve outcomes that are often the envy of our eastern state counterparts as we continually improve our policies and processes, particularly relating to innovative approaches to RAV access to the WA road network and permit turnaround timeframes,” she says. Despite not signing the national framework, the WA government still says it supports the harmonisation of heavy vehicle regulation and the adoption of nationally consistent practices but stresses these reforms should be beneficial to the state.

Federal funding has been allocated to address black spots in three states

Black spots to be addressed The investment across WA, SA and Qld will improve road safety

Funds for Great Southern freight network The non-primary freight network will become safer according to the federal government In a pre-election bid, the federal government is planning to allocate $6.4 million towards Western Australia’s Great Southern secondary freight network. The federal government has previously shown it wishes to fund road improvement projects, including black spot projects, across three states, but it is now investing in freight upgrades too to enhance Australia’s supply chain. A total of $8 million will be put forward by the federal and state governments in a joint funding arrangement that sees the Great Southern secondary freight network receive much-needed improvements to non-primary transportation routes across the country. Changes include widening road lanes, sealing road shoulders, improving line markings and erecting new signage to make secondary freight routes safer for transport workers.

The proposed upgrades would make the secondary freight route safer for operators

The $6.4 million allocated by the federal government forms part of the federal Budget it handed down, with state governments covering the remaining $1.6 million in funding. Local members say the project will improve the agriculture industry amongst others in the area. “This funding will create jobs, boost business investment and drive the region’s economic recovery from the Covid pandemic,” O’Connor member Rick Wilson says. The funding allocation announcement was made early due to the premature Budget, as the upcoming election means the federal government is releasing plans for future growth ahead of the election campaign.

The federal government has committed to funding 96 separate black spot projects across Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland to help prevent further transport crashes on Australia’s roads. Part of the $1.3 billion black spot program from 2013–14 to 2025–26, the funding will go towards safety measures including traffic signals and roundabouts at locations across the nation where numerous serious crashes have occurred or are at risk of occurring. The campaign to improve Australian road safety focuses on the three states and upgrading road quality to prevent crashes along important freight routes. The biggest emphasis will be placed on Queensland roads, where a further 53 dangerous crash black spot sites will receive $22.1 million funding. WA will also receive $12.91 million to update 30 black spot sites, while South Australia will be allocated a further $8 million to upgrade their black spot areas across the state. “The federal government is committed to reducing deaths on our roads and sparing families from the immeasurable impact these tragedies have,” deputy PM Barnaby Joyce says. “Funding under the black spot program will deliver much needed safety upgrades to some of the most dangerous sections of our roads, making them safer and keeping commuters and freight moving.” The federal government will invest more than $25 billion in road safety projects over the next four years, especially into the black spot program to fix critical crash points. By doing so, the safety of motorists is expected to improve in these areas, while freight traffic along key routes will become safer and more efficient.

Scania will appeal the decision to the European Court of Justice

Scania to appeal EU antitrust judgement The company is contesting the decision for the second time Scania is appealing an EU General Court judgement regarding alleged violations of EU antitrust rules to the European Court of Justice. On September 27, 2017, the European Commission adopted a decision holding Scania liable to pay a fine of around $1.3 billion for allegedly having participated in inappropriate exchanges of information and collusion with other European truck manufacturers. The inappropriate behaviour allegedly contained information and collusion with pricing and the introduction of emissions technologies between 1997 and 2011. Later in 2017, Scania appealed to the General Court and on February 2, 2022, the General Court’s judgement confirmed the EU Commission’s findings against Scania. The General Court dismissed Scania’s appeal entirely and upheld the amount of fines set by the EU Commission in 2017. But Scania is still contesting all findings from the EU Commission that were confirmed by the General Court. Scania maintains that it neither entered into any pan-European agreement with other manufacturers regarding pricing nor colluded to delay the introduction of new engines compliant with EU legislation for exhaust emissions. Scania has filed an appeal on April 8, 2022 against the General Court’s judgement to the European Court of Justice as the last court of instance in the EU. The appeal date has not yet been set for when Scania will contest the alleged violations of EU antitrust rules judgements made previously.

Daimler subsidiary opens European R&D centre Daimler will work with Torc to bring autonomous trucks to long-haul trucking within the decade Daimler Truck independent subsidiary Torc Robotics is opening a technology and software development centre in Stuttgart, Germany. The centre will allow Torc Robotics to continue developing autonomous trucks for the United States and facilitate an easier deployment for the company. Torc will use the talent available in one of Germany’s prime truckmaking regions to help develop Level 4 autonomous virtual driver technology for deployment in autonomous trucks throughout the US. Torc is already regarded as a leader in SAE Level 4 self-driving vehicle software for heavy-duty vehicles and will look to further expand its capabilities in one of Germany’s more popular automotive development regions. Torc Europe is an independent entity and a 100 per cent subsidiary of Torc, with an office located in Stuttgart near an existing Daimler Truck R&D facility, while also not far from the Daimler Truck headquarters. Torc Europe is hiring software engineers, data scientists and architects in the areas of systems, safety, validation and product development to continue developing autonomous heavy vehicle technology. “Torc is working closely with Daimler Truck to optimise the entire product stack including the virtual driver, sensing and computer hardware, and the redundant chassis to be the first company to launch a scalable and profitable self-driving

Daimler’s Freightliner Cascadia test truck in front of the Torc Europe Stuttgart office

product,” Torc founder and CEO Michael Fleming says. “Torc’s Stuttgart technology and software development centre will leverage the deep automotive and trucking technical and product expertise to make this a reality.” The 18,000 square-foot technology centre also has an additional 12,000 square feet that will be used as a workshop. Torc will rely on its partnership with Daimler Truck, who heavily invested in the robotics company in 2019, to continue improving its driverless technology for heavy vehicles. “Collaboration thrives because of the partnership with Daimler Truck,” Torc VP of Engineering Mike Avitabile says. “Combining Daimler Truck’s experience with Torc’s expertise in automated vehicle software and automated truck systems will help accelerate bringing our product to market.” Both Torc and Daimler are collaboratively pursuing a goal to bring autonomous trucks for long-haul trucking to the roads within the decade.

Feature Though fuel excise has been cut, fuel tax credits have also been removed

Fuel tax saviour may be failure The recent fuel excise tax cut was meant to help the transport industry, but some say it’s only hurting businesses. ATN’s Sean Mortell spoke with Fennel Forestry’s Wendy Fennell and SARTA’s Steve Shearer to get their views In the recent federal Budget, the government announced a fuel excise cut to help reduce the soaring price of fuel. It was meant to benefit everyone, but many say it’s lumped more pain on a transport industry that was already hurting. You can hear the strain in Wendy Fennell’s voice as she speaks to ATN about the impact the past two years have had on her business. The director of Fennell Forestry watched the transport industry suffer when the Covid-19 pandemic first placed added stress on truckies and freight operators. Then, when fuel prices soared following the outbreak of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, Fennell Forestry was sent into another financial tailspin. It’s been three decades since the business first cut and loaded logs to establish itself as a mainstay in the plantations industry from Mount Gambier to Perth. Despite all this experience, Fennell is crying out for relief from the federal government for when she next takes her fleet to the service station. She says, however, that what she’s getting is the opposite. Instead of support, the federal government has announced a cut to the fuel excise tax for all motorists filling up at service stations. “It was a huge disappointment,” Fennell says. “When I first heard about the fuel excise cut, I quickly realised it wasn’t

SARTA CEO Steve Shearer says that this is an unsustainable situation for trucking businesses

going to benefit a transport operator at all because we lose the fuel tax credits that used to help pay for the fuel we did use.” It was the worst possible result for Fennell. In the recent federal Budget handed down by the coalition government, the government announced a fuel excise tax reduction that saw the current excise halve from 44 cents per litre of fuel to 22.1. Initially, it sounded like the perfect antidote during a period where money was quickly lost to the rising price of fuel. But what the federal government didn’t say on Budget night was that it was also scrapping the Fuel Tax Credit (FTC) scheme that transport

operators across the country use to help subsidise their fuel costs. “Following the government’s reduction of the fuel excise tax, it was just another hit to the bottom line,” Fennell says. “There hasn’t been any ability to change our costs because our customers aren’t aware of how it’s affected us and it’s taking a while for truck operators to work out how much it is impacting the industry.” Interconnected The removal of the FTC doesn’t sound like it would have a massive impact when the fuel excise tax has been halved. But, Fennell argues, removing the FTC means transport operators barely save when it comes to pumping fuel back into its trucks. For truck drivers filling up, there are three costs involved. The fuel excise tax is included in petrol prices and is a stake that the government receives as taxation. By halving this tax to 22.1 cents per litre, it means Australians see a drop in fuel prices like many have noticed at service stations. The second is the FTC, which is a payment given to transport companies after they buy fuel as a means of partially funding the heavy costs associated with using fuel to deliver across Australia. The third cost is the Road User Charge (RUC), which is a toll that the federal government enforces on heavy vehicles that use diesel and travel on public roads. The current RUC was increased by 2.5 per cent per litre in 2021–22 to 26.4 cents per litre. What does this mean? Although many motorists may be praising the federal government for reducing fuel prices by up to 22.1 cents per litre, the government isn’t footing the bill for this decrease in fuel price. Instead, it could be the transport industry who end up paying up to $700 million, as the removal of the FTC for heavy vehicle operators means they only experience a fuel price reduction of four cents per litre. It pales in comparison to the 22.1 cents per litre drop in fuel prices that all other road users have enjoyed. “It’s been very challenging because

Feature Wendy Fennell from Fennell Forestry says the fuel excise reduction isn’t the beacon of hope it is said to be

there’s already been a lot of price gouging happening at the pump,” Fennell says. “It has been considerably difficult. We’ve been looking at how much fuel we hold and what price we buy it at, and we really need the government to re-think this fuel excise cut before we go into our next Business Activity Statement [BAS] return as it won’t be sustainable.” Bad for business Fennell Forestry isn’t the only transport business suffering. All over Australia there are truck drivers and freight companies struggling to find the funds to cover the removal of the FTC after already fighting to cut every cent possible when fuel prices first surpassed the $2 per litre mark. South Australian Road Transport Association (SARTA) CEO Steve Shearer also spoke to ATN, saying he has encountered many different transport companies who will struggle to pay their BAS fees at the end of the next quarter in June. “A lot of people are just starting to wake up to the problem and plenty still don’t get it,” Shearer says. “But as soon as you explain the removal of the FTC they instantly understand. “They will certainly understand when they do their next BAS payment, which isn’t due until after the election, when the next federal government is in a period where it can’t make major changes.” In recent years there have been calls to remove the FTC system as it costs the federal government $8 billion, making it the biggest fossil fuel subsidy in the country. But scrapping it just as the fuel excise tax is reduced means transport companies are paying over 80 per cent of the excise cut bill while the federal government only pays for around four cents per litre of the fuel reduction motorists see when they now fill up their tanks. “The federal government is being cheeky for claiming the cut when they’re making truck operators pay 18 cents of it,” Shearer says. “They’re running around as if

they’ve given the community the cut when they haven’t – it’s galling.” Out of the 22 cent per litre reduction to the fuel excise tax, the removal of the FTC means truck drivers are paying for 18 of the 22 cents per litre reduced. It’s what Shearer describes as a “political sleight of hand” worth $700 million dollars for the transport industry. Time for change Shearer is working to educate many in the industry about what is happening, with unions across Australia waking up to the news that the fuel excise tax reduction will barely change what transport operators pay at service stations. Transport associations and unions are already warning consumers not to expect price drops, as freight operators can’t afford to pass on price reductions when they are only paying four cents per litre less on fuel than before. Shearer expects the federal opposition to oppose the government’s initiative and call for the FTC to be reinstated before transport companies begin folding around the country. “If we can’t get either party to fix this,” Shearer says, “truck operators won’t be able to pay their BAS payment in June and they’ll go broke. “The tax office can then give them as much time as they want to pay them back, but it won’t change much if transport companies don’t have the money.” They may play different roles in the transport industry, but both Shearer and Fennell agree that the current situation could’ve been easily

avoided if the federal government had consulted with members of the industry before removing the FTC. Fennell just wants the FTC scheme to return before it’s too late, and Fennell Forestry is forced to make tough decisions. “We need the government to acknowledge their error because I’m sure their objective wasn’t to lump the transport industry with increased costs,” Fennell says. “They just need to reinstate the fuel tax credit, it’s as simple as that. “The government aimed to relieve pressures, but it has actually done the opposite through a very poorly thought-through policy.” Fennell says she also feels for customers, who won’t experience a drop in costs at supermarkets or stores due to transport operators not being able to pass on any price reductions. She fears that many transport operators may go broke, meaning the supply chain could be in danger of returning to its disrupted state that caused supermarkets to empty during the Covid-19 pandemic. “When the transport sector has been providing a lot of the solutions to many of the pandemic problems over the past two years, this policy they have dropped is very poor by them,” she says. For Fennell the solution is simple – keep the fuel excise cut but reinstate the FTC system for transport operators. But she’s not hopeful of receiving financial relief any time soon. Instead, she’ll just hold tough yet again and hope Fennell Forestry can live through another challenging period.

Technology or training – how do we make Australian roads safer? New safety features are being mandated to reduce the risk for truck drivers. But industry members say there are other pressing issues that must be fixed to lower the number of heavy vehicle crashes in Australia. ATN’s Sean Mortell reports In the lead-up to the 2022 Victorian easter weekend, 11 people had already died from road accidents in the month of April. Five of these fatalities were from the first weekend of school holidays alone. These April road accident deaths take the 2022 tally to 76 deaths on Victorian roads, a 15.2 per cent increase from the same time a year ago. It’s no wonder Australian road safety is such a massive issue for governments and the transport industry. For heavy vehicle operators who use the roads as their workplace, the risk is ever-present. In the federal government’s latest quarterly roads deaths in crashes involving heavy vehicles bulletin, heavy rigid truck-involved deaths rose from 18 in the September 2021 quarter to 21 by the end of the year.

HVIA CEO Todd Hacking

Five-year trend lines from the government suggest heavy vehicleinvolved road deaths are increasing

again after Covid-19 restrictions kept many vehicles off the road. So far, there’s been no clear solution to the issue. The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) is on the search for ways to prevent these tragic crashes. It’s launched safety campaigns and welcomed the mandating of Australian Design Rules (ADRs) on various heavy vehicle safety technology that will become compulsory for all transport operators taking to Australia’s roads. But HVIA CEO Todd Hacking says the answer to making roads safer for heavy vehicle operators is a deeper issue than just mandating the newest truck safety technology. “We’ve been issuing education campaigns and change management processes,” Hacking told ATN. “We’ve found there are lots of

DOW 479-063 ATNews CF.indd 78

Feature

operators who think it’ll never happen to them and that the new technology introduced will only make their lives harder. “There’s a cultural issue and we really need to make sure we can allow all transport workers to go home safe and prevent these accidents from happening.” These educational safety campaigns have been a constant from the likes of the HVIA over the past few years. But now the federal government’s road safety review panel is investigating if there’s a new way to make work safer for heavy vehicle operators. “Recently the Australian Community Media (ACM) pushed for the government to implement two new heavy vehicle ADRs on advanced emergency braking and electronic stability control. Now, the Joint Select Committee on Road Safety wants the federal government to incentivise the purchasing of newer and safer heavy vehicles to increase their affordability and take older truck models off the road.” Hacking says that more newer trucks on the road is important and can make the difference between life and death, but that incentivising the latest models isn’t a viable longterm option. “This technology is there for when it’s really needed, as it’s there to assist people in their time of need,” he says. “I don’t think we can keep incentivising forever, but I do believe we can improve the way incentives are directed to focus on the newest safety technology.” This technology ranges from the recently mandated emergency braking and anti-rollover installations to LSM Technology’s tyre monitoring systems. But HVIA isn’t supporting any one piece of equipment to be included on new truck fleets, instead saying it depends on the particular transport company and its needs. “Our approach has been to talk about safety as a general topic,” Hacking says. “There are lots of different safety technologies out there, but operators can’t have every feature,

Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Australia (CILTA) national chair Dr Kim Hassall

so we encourage them to use good information to choose what is best for their fleet.” Need for education But not everyone believes these newest safety features are the best solution to making roads safer. For Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Australia (CILTA) national chair Dr Kim Hassall, the way to combatting heavy vehicle crashes is to stop focusing solely on fatalities and serious injuries. “Unfortunately, the federal government bureau report says there have been 177 fatal crashes involving heavy vehicles in the past year, but there’s also been 5,075 crashes, so the ratio suggests fatalities and serious injury are just the tip of the iceberg,” Hassall told ATN. “These newest technologies mitigate the serious nature of an incident and are welcomed, but they won’t stop many of the crashes happening on the roads.” Hassall argues that these features are a great safety addition to prevent the worst possible outcome from occurring, but technology alone won’t stop heavy vehicle road accidents from happening. When it comes to incentivising the purchasing of newer trucks with the latest technology, Hassall says it

isn’t a strong solution because newer trucks tend to be involved with more crashes anyway. This is because older trucks are already being phased out by transport companies and used for shuttle work or container jobs at ports where they don’t travel the same distance as newer models do on linehaul operations. This means transport operators are already using newer trucks with updated safety features on the roads when possible. Hassall says although the latest safety features have their place in the transport industry, they can’t be the sole focus when it comes to limiting the number of heavy vehicle collisions on Australian roads. Both Hassall and Hacking agree that educating drivers and improving their skills is fundamental to making roads safer. “One of the big solutions that’s being worked on by Austroads is working to upskill truck drivers,” Hassall says. “There’s a massive training and competency gap in the existing training and upskilling development for drivers currently. It’s woeful.” According to the National Truck Accident Research Centre’s 2021 report, around 40 per cent of major crashes over the past decade involving trucks have been the fault of the driver. From Hassall’s perspective, this means just under half of the time the driver isn’t skilled enough for the situation they’ve found themselves in. He wants this to change. Although it’s agreed around the transport industry that the latest safety features for heavy vehicles are beneficial and help save lives, a more effective way of making roads safer is to prevent dangerous crash situations from the outset. The industry says technology can’t help this and that fatigue management and driver training could be just as effective in reducing the road toll figure. “These training programs are pivotal in ensuring truck drivers don’t get involved in road crashes,” Hassall says. “It’s a deeper issue than just technology and Austroads is trying to fix it.”

The HVIA is calling for people to sign the e-petition to make Australian standards accessible

HVIA call to make standards accessible HVIA wants Australian standards for heavy vehicles to be made free Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) is calling for members of the transport industry to sign the current e-petition to make Australian standards more readily available for heavy vehicle operators. The e-petition is currently open on the Australian Parliament House petition register and calls for Australian standards to be made free or at a reasonable cost for anyone in the industry requiring them to perform their duties. HVIA chief executive Todd Hacking says access to all Australian standards should be free as he pushes for these standards to be made available to the heavy vehicle industry. “It is our members who have volunteered their time to develop the industry benchmarks, yet as soon as that is done, Standards Australia is putting them behind a paywall,” Hacking says. “The Australian heavy vehicle industry comprises thousands of people who are preserving our nation’s ability to produce world leading innovative vehicles, and yet their viability is constantly being hampered and challenged by layers of red tape and profiteering. “Our members are committed to adhering to these standards and the regulatory framework, however, in 2022, there has got to be a better model.” Hacking is strongly encouraging HVIA and other members of the transport sector to sign the e-petition to help make the change. For a single task or service, a number of standards may be required, often mandated by legislation. “A trailer manufacturer gave me one typical example where a single piece of equipment included reference to 20 different standards, none of which are free,” Hacking says. “Nobody is questioning the outcomes of setting design, safety and engineering benchmarks – we are all proud of that – but let’s not allow Australian innovation and hard work to be exploited. “We agree with the petition that the existing model is unsustainable and cannot hope to achieve its very worthy purpose while it is creating barriers for industry to comply.”

ATA calls to reset road safety ATA chair wants a complete overhaul of road safety policy The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) says it wants the next federal government to reset the nation’s approach to road safety and productivity. While launching the ATA’s 2022 election policy charter, ATA chair David Smith says he wants more emphasis to be placed on road safety. “The number of crashes involving trucks is falling, thanks to the work of the industry and governments,” Smith says. “But it won’t be acceptable until there are zero deaths and zero injuries on our roads.” The ATA is calling for an improvement in road safety and has listed a target it wants to see reached in the coming years. “Our target is for a 25 per cent reduction per year in crashes involving trucks, once the measures we propose get started,” Smith says. Under the ATA charter, Smith wants to see: • the federal government fund and operate all major freight roads • a 10-year, $5 billion truck roads and rest area program so truck drivers always have a safe place to stop • continued full expensing for trucks and trailers to increase the use of newer and safer trucks • air crash-style investigations of

ATA is looking for a 25 per cent reduction per year in crashes

truck crashes where there are lessons to be learned “The ATA’s policy charter calls for an improvement in the industry’s productivity and the elimination of red tape,” Smith says. Currently, the ATA says trucking businesses need to lodge 44,000 applications per year to use roads that were built to be used and uses recent examples to prove the need for a policy overhaul. “The Tasmanian road access system shows it is possible to reduce this paperwork by 95 per cent,” Smith says. “A policy reset by the federal government would get the same results nationally.” Smith also slams the government’s decision to halve the fuel tax for light vehicle owners for six months, due to the fuel confusion it has caused the transport industry. “As our charter points out, the current model for setting truck registration charges and the road user charge on fuel is broken, we need a different approach,” Smith says.

Works have started to improve the Princes Highway

NSW M1 and Dubbo bridge projects announced Works along the M1 and the Dubbo bridge will make NSW freight traffic move smoother The federal and New South Wales governments have announced major road works to upgrade some of the state’s key freight routes. Starting with the M1 Pacific Highway extension to Raymond Terrace, this has taken a step closer to reality with a shortlist of companies being invited to tender for construction. Registrations of interest are also being called from pre-qualified contractors to widen Hexham Straight as part of the M1 extension. The M1 extension will be a transformational project for the Hunter region according to the federal government, with the 15km upgrade including a fourlane divided motorway with two lanes in each direction and new interchanges at Black Hill, Tarro, Tomago and Raymond Terrace. It will improve connections between Newcastle and the New England Highway, M1 Motorway and the Pacific Highway to enhance safety and traffic flow along a key freight route for NSW. The federal government has also called for tenders for the new Dubbo bridge project, with a lead construction contractor wanted to build the $220 million funded project. Tenders will be invited on April 28 and will be open for eight weeks,

The Pacific Highway will be extended

with the head contractor to be announced by the end of 2022 to construction can begin in 2023. The federal government says these works in NSW will establish a critical spine of freight networks to make transporting through the state more efficient and safer. “The new bridge over the Macquarie River in Dubbo will keep commuters and freight moving, ensuring the valuable commodities that earn Australia money continue flowing to ports and overseas markets,” deputy PM Barnaby Joyce says. “Extending the M1 will also significantly improve journeys for tens of thousands of motorists across the Hunter region to bust congestion and provide faster and safer journeys for truck drivers.” A mandatory pre-tender meeting for all prospective pre-qualified tenderers for the Dubbo bridge project, including a site inspection, will be held in May at the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo. Following the meeting, an information session will be held to meet prospective tenderers next door to the centre at ‘The Greens’.

Princes highway upgrade processing Works have begun to make the intersection and surrounding roads safer Major safety works have begun at one of south-west Victoria’s most important intersections as part of continued upgrades to the Princes Highway between Panmure and Warrnambool. The intersection of the Princes Highway west and the Great Ocean Road at Allansford have started, forming part of the Victorian government’s investment into keeping the highway safe for motorists and heavy vehicle operators. Planned safety improvements include widening and resurfacing the road, with shoulder widening in the eastbound and westbound lanes of the Princes Highway west also occurring to reduce the risk of run-off-road collisions. A left-hand side barrier will be installed to prevent vehicles from running off the road and a centreline barrier will be introduced to prevent head-on crashes. Works will occur Monday to Friday from 7AM to 7PM weather permitting, with weekend work also a chance of going ahead while crews work between Swans Lane and Brucknell Creek to widen and seal road shoulders. Crews will also upgrade the existing outbound overtaking lane, apply rumble strips and install safety barriers. The Princes Highway upgrades form part of a larger scale safety project, which has already seen upgrades completed at Naringal-Panmure Road, Chisletts Road and Swans Lane intersections. These intersection works include laying asphalt to improve the road’s lifespan and reduce the need for future maintenance works and installing a new inbound overtaking lane between Panmure and Allansford.

Heart of Australia initiative receives more funding The federal government’s funding ensures Isuzu, DAF and Kenworth can continue to provide prime mover medical services Mobile medical program Heart of Australia has received another funding boost from the federal government to ensure its mobile services continue to provide medical programs to remote Queensland communities. The federal government is committing $17.2 million to the initiative to guarantee its mobile medical clinics, which are run in Isuzu, DAF and Kenworth trucks, will continue to service rural areas in the state for the next four years. The Heart of Australia fleet is currently at five trucks, with the combination of vehicles from Kenworth, Isuzu and DAF hauling custom-designed mobile clinics around Queensland. Paccar Australia started the initiative when it donated two Kenworth K200 prime movers, with Black Truck Sales following with an Isuzu F Series FSD260 before Paccar added two DAF prime movers. The latest model in the fleet was the Heart 5, which was a DAF XF 530 that was launched in February. Heart of Australia says it’s thrilled to have these five mobile clinics continuing to improve access to specialist medical services in regional Queensland. “Having the continued support from the federal government can give Queenslanders living in rural and remote areas the confidence we will continue to be there for them, no matter what,” Heart of Australia founder Dr Rolf Gomes says.

Trucks like this Isuzu have been converted into mobile clinics

The fleet of five trucks visits 33 Queensland communities, ranging from Goondiwindi in the South to Weipa in the far north and Winton in the west. The clinics, which are housed in these five prime movers, provide different specialist medical services including cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, sleep medicine, geriatric medicine and general medicine, as well as CT and X-ray imaging. Since Heart of Australia began operating in 2014, it has saved more than 500 lives, with the fleet travelling more than 500,000 kilometres through Queensland to reach isolated communities. “This is a major step forward to ensure Queenslanders living in rural and remote areas have the same access to medical specialists as those living in the cities. It will make an enormous difference in improving lives and supporting the work of local GPs,” Gomes says. “Bringing medical services to regional and remote communities breaks down the barriers of distance, meaning more Queenslanders can get the health care they need. “A special thank you to all of Heart of Australia’s partners and supporters, whose ongoing contribution has been instrumental in helping us achieve this major milestone.”

Additional support for Healthy Heads program Paccar Australia, NHVR and Pickles all recently announced their support of the mental health initiative Paccar Australia, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and auction company Pickles are supporting and funding the Healthy Heads in Truck and Sheds (HHTS) Roadshow. Healthy Heads is supported by industry partners and works to champion mental health and wellbeing. Mental health is now recognised as a significant issue across the community and prevalent amongst the transport industry where factors such as long hours, workplace isolation and pressure to meet delivery schedules are all common to workers in the sector. Along with the need for continual alertness while operating heavy machinery, workers in the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries are especially vulnerable to mental health problems. The HHTS initiative makes an effort to tackle these issues directly, with heavy industry backing leading to the creation of the initiative and resulting roadshow. Paccar Australia, NHVR and Pickles are partners of the HHTS and have been funding and supporting the mental health outreach program which now hits the road. The HHTS Roadshow is now set to tour the country in a specially fitted out, medium rigid DAF LF truck. After taking to the road in March 2022, the HTTS roadshow will appear at 22 industry events throughout the year to serve as a constant reminder to be wary of transport workers’ mental health. The initiative will provide educational material tailored to the needs of the heavy vehicle and supply chain sectors, with the HTTS team also encouraging the use of the free Healthy Heads app and distributing pocket-sized handbooks containing practical mental health and wellbeing tips.

Diagnostics: Open Road

The battle continues Hang in there because it’s still going to be a hard slog Logistics experts are predicting that global supply chains impacted by the pandemic won’t be back to anything near normal until at least the end of 2024. Steve Callihane, the head of food group Kellogg, recently told Reuters: “We’re hoping, in the back half of this year, we start to see a gradual recession of the shortages, of the bottlenecks, of just the overall dislocation that is in the supply chain right now.” He added: “I wouldn’t think there’ll be any kind of return to a normal environment until 2024 because it has been so dramatically dislocated.” That’s a sobering thought if you’re reading this over your bowl of breakfast cereal. Strained supply lines are one big reason it’s costing you more than a year ago. Unlike Coco Pops, there’s no sugar coating the fact that being a road transport operator in Australia will almost certainly become harder before it gets easier. It is a fact is that if people running offshore supply chains do as much as sneeze, Australian road transport operators catch a cold, if not Covid. Problems overseas are compounded on our own waterfront by archaic access regimes for trucks going to and from our seaports and inefficiencies on the wharves. We all know how much more difficult the pandemic made the freight task

Despite ongoing challenges with supply chains and fuel pricing, demand for road freight continues to grow

and none of us want a new variant, although that’s a possibility. What’s now clear is that the global economic downturn that proceeded the onset of Covid probably made its impact several degrees worse. Manufacturers had already reacted to the economic slowdown by scaling back production plans for the next year. As the first wave of the virus washed over the world, they were caught on the hop by an upswing in demand brought on by vaccine rollouts and increased household spending – at least in the developed world – thanks to economic stimulus measures like our own JobKeeper. Labour shortages played havoc and consumers spent big on goods instead of services. If you’re a last mile operator, you’ll know all about that. Our own economy was already coming off the back of bushfires, and our states and territories reacted to the pandemic by wrapping their borders in the red tape of inconsistent passes and health rules.

Since then, our businesses have had to cope with sky-high fuel prices and a continuing driver shortage. It’s just as well the Australian road freight industry is as resilient as it is. What we didn’t need was the raw deal we copped in the recent federal Budget when the Fuel Tax Credit was slashed to zero, to balance out the impact of halving fuel excise. Somebody forgot the words essential industry. NatRoad was making progress in lobbying for a reversal when the election was called and the government went into caretaker mode. We’ll take up the cudgels again as soon as a new Parliament is formed, regardless of who is running it. We’ll also go into bat for the resurrection of Unfair Contract legislation that was finally introduced into Parliament just as the sittings ran out of steam. The upside of all this is that there is economic light at the end of the tunnel. The demand for road freight will continue to grow in Australia, despite investment in rail. And profits should grow in line with that, despite the fresh change challenges that de-carbonisation will bring.

The new NT hubs will help make use of the territory’s resources

Government announces new NT logistics hubs The federal government commits funding to three new NT hubs The federal government is committing to investing in new logistics hubs in the Northern Territory that will benefit miners, farmers and developers of new industries. Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce says the federal government would invest $440 million in three logistics hubs across the territory. According to the federal government, the logistics hubs will unlock the region’s resources and strengthen supply chains while boosting exports to the NT. The project includes funding two new logistics and agribusiness hubs in Alice Springs and Katherine, while money will go towards a massive multimodal logistics hub at Tennant Creek. The three new hub projects include funding: • $216.8 million for a Tennant Creek multimodal logistics hub • $160 million for an Alice Springs logistics and agribusiness hub • $63.2 million for a Katherine logistics and agribusiness hub “Our investment in new hubs at Tennant Creek, Alice Springs and Katherine will ensure valuable commodities such as gas and critical minerals reach ports and international markets faster, generating more export income and making our nation wealthier,” Joyce says. The resources sector in the NT is valued at $6.45 billion due to strong interest in gold, zinc, bauxite and gas development in the region. This move for new logistics and agribusiness hubs will help make the most of these minerals, according to the federal government.

WA freight corridor concept released The concept, part of the Westport program, will revitalise WA’s freight corridor The Western Australian government has released plans for the AnketellThomas Road freight corridor as part of the next step in Western Australia’s Westport program. The plans have been released or community consultation, with stakeholders being able to see how the plans will connect future container terminals in Kwinana’s outer harbour with the Tonkin Highway. This connection will provide an efficient WA freight and supply chain network while also supporting Westport’s objective of a modern and efficient trade network to meet future growth. The concept includes four traffic lanes and grade-separations at key intersections to provide uninterrupted movement for freight vehicles and better safety for drivers. While the final concept is subject to further planning and consultation, the road corridor has been identified and a Planning Control Area (PCA) will be put into place to ensure proposed developments in the area support the future road freight corridor. The Westport team are engaging with stakeholders, landowners

and local community members to progress the design and are seeking feedback, with the PCA forming the next step to guide the development of the future corridor. While the WA government’s longterm program with Westport will continue to plan and design the freight corridor to support the future port in Kwinana, it’ll consult with a Landside Logistics Opportunity Study to determine how goods can be moved as efficiently as possible. “Westport is a project to deliver a new container port in Kwinana – it’s important we get it right,” WA Transport Minister Rita Saffioti says. “The announcement of the preliminary design of the new freight corridor is a big step forward for the project. “The Anketell-Thomas Road freight corridor will be a key link, connecting the new container terminal in the outer harbour with Tonkin Highway and meeting the needs of the Kwinana industrial area as it continues to grow.”

The ALC forum will focus on freight issues and the supply chain

Deloitte says Australia not ready for 5G A new Deloitte Access Economics report reveals a lack of business readiness for 5G adoption Economic advisory company Deloitte Access Economics has warned in its new report 5G Unleashed: Realising the Potential of the Next Generation of Mobile Technology that the potential boost to Australia’s gross domestic product (GDP) in coming years may be affected by a lack of readiness for 5G technology by businesses. The report found that, while Australia is currently ranked third globally in terms of mobile connectivity, it is at risk of falling to ninth by 2025 due to a lack of business readiness for change and a policy regime that needs to be updated. Deloitte says that Australian businesses were found to be slow when it comes to readiness for adoption of 5G, despite 62 per cent of businesses leaders across four sectors agreeing 5G will accelerate the growth of their business. Of those surveyed, 59 per cent say that they have no strategy to realise 5G and nearly 30 per cent have no plans to implement 5G. The report’s economic modelling estimates 5G will increase Australia’s GDP by $67 billion by 2030 based on the current trajectory for adoption. However, an additional $27 billion can be realised, it says, through adoption of 5G technology. “With nearly 90 per cent of businesses facing barriers to 5G adoption, Australia can only unlock the significant economic dividend by lifting business readiness and re-energising the

policy regime and framework for 5G,” Deloitte Access Economics partner and technology, media and communications lead John O’Mahony. “The report also sets out 11 policy priorities for government across three key areas – driving national adoption of 5G, infrastructure deployment and spectrum allocation – to support accelerated 5G adoption and rollout, and facilitate enhanced investment in 5G.” CEO of Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) Louise Hyland adds that Australia’s mobile telecommunications sector has invested billions in the 5G rollout over a number of years. “Australia’s world-leading 5G rollout has seen three live networks established and operational 5G base stations at almost 4,000 sites at the end of 2021 with significantly more brought online since, while trials of 5G technology are being undertaken by industry and supported by the Australian government’s 5G Innovation Initiative. “But in reality, that opportunity only has value if the potential can be realised, and that’s why we are calling on industry and government to now play their role in driving an enhanced rate of 5G adoption.”

ALC announces supply chain national forum The ALC will focus on the supply chain and national freight issues The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) has released the details of its forum event for this year, which will specialise on national freight and supply chain issues. The forum, which brings together end to end supply chain expertise and global insights, will be held in Sydney on May 25. ALC chair Philip Davies says the ALC is pleased to host the forum with a worldclass line-up of industry leaders and speakers on supply chain management and national freight. “This is an opportunity for senior industry leaders, policy makers, technology experts and innovators to exchange ideas and discuss the state-of-play in the sector,” Davies says. “As we emerge from the challenges of the past few years, the freight, logistics and supply chain industry in Australia is re-sitting its priorities, with a renewed focus on efficiency, productivity, safety, the resilience of supply chain systems and making a steep change in emissions reduction.” The forum will include the likes of Inland Rail CEO Rebecca Pickering, Infrastructure Australia CEO Romily Madew, Toll Group managing director Thomas Knusden, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry CEO Andrew McKellar and Tech Council of Australia CEO Kate Pounder. ALC CEO Brad Williams is looking forward to focusing on preparing for the immensity of the growing freight task. “As leaders in Australia’s end to end supply chain industry, we are at a critical juncture and the importance of what we do has probably never been so visible or so important,” Williams says. Australian’s urban freight task alone is expected to grow by 60 per cent by 2040 and our urban infrastructure is already groaning under the weight of capacity constraints.”

Pennsylvania puts forward facility access bill If passed, truck drivers will have greater access to bathroom facilities In recent years, truck stops across Australia and the world have seen limited access from transport workers due to Covid-19. But that’s all set to change in Pennsylvania, where proposed legislation gives truckies in the state greater access to bathroom facilities. A Pennsylvania lawmaker introduced the bill to allow truck drivers better access to bathrooms and facilities in the state’s General Assembly following Washington state’s successful legislation this year. The introduced bill is a massive issue for not just Pennsylvania but the world over, as truck drivers continue to fight for better facilities in the wake of Covid. In some American states truck drivers haven’t been permitted to use restrooms in facilities where they are picking up and dropping off. It’s also landmark news across the globe, where Australian truck associations have been fighting for increased access to toilet and shower facilities at truck stops since 2020. In 2020, Australian Trucking Association (ATA) chair Geoff Crouch said truck drivers shouldn’t be denied access to these basic amenities while working to deliver goods across the country.

“In a time where truck drivers are working harder than ever to deliver essential goods to communities across the country, we’re being told that they cannot access the proper facilities needed to support them in their role,” he said. “I have been given firsthand reports from operators where drivers have arrived at roadhouses only to find the facilities were shut, whilst some customers’ receiving points have distributed notifications saying that toilets are not available to non-staff.” It led to Crouch describing the issue as “not only unfair and unreasonable”, but also a “humanitarian issue” facing truckies globally. This movement for increased access escalated even more on March 29 when representative Jason Silvis introduced the Truck Driver Restroom Access Act to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The bill requires retail establishments, shippers, receivers and port terminals to provide truck drivers with access to restrooms while delivering or picking up goods during regular business hours, with the bill being referred to the House Transportation Committee. Four days before this, a memorandum titled ‘Restroom

Pennsylvania is considering legislation regarding facility access

facilities for truck drivers while picking up or dropping off a shipment’ was presented to members of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives seeking support for the cause. Groups like the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA) have supported the bill, saying it raises awareness of an issue truckies are forced to confront daily and that contributes to driver shortages across the world. “Getting more people into the industry is going to require making changes to make the job a little easier for drivers on the road,” PMTA CEO Rebecca Ovler says. If Pennsylvania follows Washington’s new law, it will require terminal operators to provide enough restrooms for heavy vehicle drivers in areas they typically access, including inside gates and truck queuing lots. Drivers will also be able to leave their vehicles at reasonable times and locations to go into restrooms, with the state’s Department of Health being able to issue violations for noncompliance.

The partnership will ease freight route congestion

Roads Australia partnership to ease freight traffic Victoria government funding Geelong freight network The government’s funding will free up critical freight routes The Victorian government is investing $330 million into the South Geelong region to improve the area’s transport and freight network. The works include local and major road upgrades, such as the Barwon Heads Road upgrade, as well as delivering more frequent and reliable train services on the Geelong Line as part of the Geelong Line upgrade. Up to $2.2 million is being invested to resurface 3.8 kilometres along the Geelong Ring Road as part of the Victorian government’s annual road maintenance blitz to make roads in the region safer and more efficient for freight and heavy vehicles. Resealing works on the Geelong bound lanes of the Surf Coast Highway between Dickins Road and Mt Duneed Road have been completed, adding to previous improvements made to the highway including the flexible safety barriers and hybrid roundabouts in 2019. In addition, $1.4 million has delivered side road activated speeds at three high risk Mount Moriac intersections. Duplication works in the South

The works in south Geelong will help freight move easier through the region

Geelong to Waurn Ponds route will result in around eight kilometres of train track and upgraded signalling being updated, according to the Victorian government. This will enable five more trains per hour during peak times and three per hour between it for growing communities such as Marshall and Waurn Ponds. The Victorian government says all of these works will combine to make transport for freight companies easier through the area. “The South Geelong region is growing – that’s why we’ve made this investment in improving the transport network to better connect people and get them where they need to go,” Victorian roads minister Ben Carroll says. “Whether it’s vital maintenance projects on local roads or major projects like the Geelong Line upgrade, we’re connecting locals and making it easier for freight to travel through.”

Two Roads Australia members will partner to reduce congestion along key transport routes Roads Australia has announced members Altus and Downer have signed a new strategic partnership that highlights the growing importance of effective traffic management as the nation delivers a record transport infrastructure pipeline. The new deal sees Altus acquire the Downer Traffic Management business, as well as extending the two organisations’ 15-year partnership across multiple regions, to further develop and improve freight traffic across Australia. This partnership will allow both organisations to leverage the power of new technologies and innovative approaches to improving safety in road work and heavy vehicle traffic zones. “Demand for traffic management is booming, with record investments in road projects nationally,” Altus Traffic CEO Ben Marsonet says. “This is an industry that is yet to experience the sort of disruption we see across other sectors, and there is great potential to better use data, technology and innovation.” Marsonet says although traffic management is often invisible to many Australians, its impact on everyday traffic and the ability for the supply chain to remain efficient is understated. “We believe leveraging the extensive data we generate and investing in innovation has potential to positively impact motorists and the heavy vehicle industry,” he says. Downer Queensland general manager of road services Darryl Byrne says: “We are delighted to work with Altus as we strive to create a safer, more productive and efficient industry. “Altus’ commitment to the safety of their people and their focus on innovation is in perfect alignment with our own vision.”

Major Motors now takes over the Kalgoorlie dealership from GTP

Australia delivering on emission reduction targets FCAI data shows manufacturers are lowering vehicle emissions The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) has released the 2021 results of the industry-led voluntary emissions standard. The standard was established in 2020 in the absence of a federallyled and mandated emissions target for Australia’s transport sector. The aim of the FCAI standard is for MC+NA vehicles (heavy SUVs and light commercial vehicles) to have under 145 CO2 emissions under 100g per kilometre on average, while passenger cars and light SUVs have on average under 100g CO2 per kilometre by 2030. The MC+NA outcome for 2021 was an average of 212.5g of CO2 for every kilometre travelled, which is a decrease from 218g in 2020. The result is set against a target of 193g of CO2 per kilometre for 2021, while passenger cars averaged 146.5g of CO2 when its target was 150g of CO2 per kilometre. “FCAI member companies are making significant advances in emissions reduction technology with every new model release in their efforts to lowering emissions and meeting the increasing customer demand for zero and low emission vehicles,” FCAI CEO Tony Weber says. The FCAI also reiterates its call for the federal government to mandate the scheme to

reduce emissions in Australia’s transport sector. “Clear and consistent policy direction on a national scale is critical for manufacturers to prioritise new low and zero emission powertrains for the Australian marketplace,” Weber says. “We are reiterating our calls for governments to adopt the FCAI voluntary emissions standard as part of its ambition to reduce emissions in Australia’s transport sector.” The FCAI says the target should allow manufacturers to bring the full range of low and zero emission innovation to the challenge, and not limited in what technology manufacturers can use. “While our future is full electrification, our short-term pathway to achieving emissions reduction will encompass a range of technologies available,” Weber says. “This includes hyper efficient internal combustion, plug in hybrid, hybrid and full battery electric options. You give us the target, we will give you the technology to get there.”

GTP has a history in servicing road transport in central Western Australia, having been established in 1973, but Isuzu says customers can expect to see familiar faces as long-serving GTP employees continue their roles under Major Motors. “Goldfields Truck Power has worked diligently to support local trucking and transport for decades, notably supporting automotive apprentices entering the industry,” Isuzu operations manager Kevin Brown says. “The kind of team longevity apparent here is hard to come by and really symbolises the strength of the relationships the business has built with customers in Kalgoorlie and surrounding areas.” It’s great news for Major Motors, who will welcome its newest dealership with a strong connection to Isuzu Australia. “We’re delighted to have Major Moors looking out for the best interests of Isuzu Trucks customers in WA,” Brown says. “GTP has always treated their customers like family, and we have no doubt that this changeover will support and grow the kind of valued face-to-face service that local customers have come to expect.” Major Motors first forged a bond with Isuzu Trucks over half a century ago and have strong ties to the western coast of Australia. As an Isuzu Trucks dealer, Major Motors provides in-house customer care centres with access to a range of service and support programs designed to ensure that Isuzu truck ownership is a positive experience for customers.

News Western Star models from 2016 to 2018 are being recalled

Western Star issues truck recall The recall says a cable stud may contact the bulkhead, potentially causing a vehicle fire A recall has been issued and listed on the Federal government’s department of infrastructure regarding certain Western Star trucks. The recall says 108 Western Star models between 2016–2018

have been recalled, inclusive of all variants within the model. According to the recall, the bulkhead pass through power cable stud with an attached gasket seal may contact the bulkhead.

If this does occur, it may result in electrical arcing, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire and serious injury to vehicle occupants and bystanders. If you do own one of these Western Star models, the recall recommends contacting your preferred Western Star dealer to arrange to have the necessary work carried out, including having parts ordered in prior to your arrival, free of charge. It also notes that this recall is in addition to a similar recall issued in 2018, and completion of this necessary work is required irrespective of whether work was carried out previously or not. The recall suggests contacting supplier Penske Australia for any queries, while a full list of vehicle identification numbers affected by the recall can be found on the vehicle recalls page: www.vehiclerecalls.gov. au/recalls/rec-005395.

Volvo FMs are being recalled after an issue was found regarding seat belts

Volvo truck to be recalled The Volvo FM is being recalled due to the passenger seat belt The infrastructure sector of the federal government has issued a recall of the Volvo FM truck. Four units of the 2021 Volvo FM have been recalled due to a proper regarding its assembly. The improper assembly of the Volvo FM means the passenger upper seat belt screw may not be screwed into the B-pillar, resulting

in the possibility of the seat belt not operating as intended. According to the government this is a hazard, as in the event of an accident a seat belt not operating as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to the vehicle occupant. Consumers and owners of the affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Volvo Group

Diagnostics: Regulatory Round

All for one Building a single, consistent national regulator The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) priority is to build a single, consistent national regulator for the heavy vehicle industry. To achieve this, we work closely with each level of government, industry and agencies to ensure we have a safe, efficient and productive heavy vehicle industry serving the needs of Australia. We continue to progress the National Services Transition (NST) program, working closely with governments and jurisdictions to transition regulatory services to the NHVR. National reform isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen overnight. We’re working towards a blueprint for the NST, approved by ministers and jurisdictional heads, that outlines the journey the NHVR is on to become the single national regulator for all heavy vehicles in Australia. What the last two years has shown is that national consistency must be our paramount goal. You can’t have individual rules or requirements for operators that need to travel across the country seamlessly. We have been able to create seamless operations in South Australia, Tasmania, ACT and Victoria, where we are now the regulator. In these states, we have increased the levels of resources, services and functions at no cost to industry. We’ve provided improved regulatory capability and we’re now starting to see harmonised policies, procedures and training of our staff.

NHVR will be transitioning NSW later this year to join South Australia, Tasmania, ACT and Victoria

Sal Petroccitto, CEO of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator

We are well on track to transition New South Wales (NSW) later this year. This is a significant milestone in terms of transitioning one of the largest jurisdictions to the NHVR. It is also a jurisdiction that has been leading the way in terms of safety and enforcement. As part of the transition in NSW, we will be undertaking the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) functions as well as delivering the heavy vehicle inspection services function for the NSW government. What does the NST mean for industry? A more consistent approach to compliance and enforcement is the most significant improvement for industry, particularly those drivers intercepted on the roadside. The capability to deliver timely national responses to critical compliance issues will also be a significant advantage of the NST. Industry can rely on a single contact point for consistent, reliable information about the HVNL and issues facing drivers or businesses. The other key piece of work are the relationships we build with our existing and new partners.

As you’re aware, there are two regulatory agencies that implement the HVNL – us as the regulator and the police agencies. We have been working closely with all police agencies to address any inconsistencies and our relationship with NSW police continues to grow as we undertake this transition. In the states where we have transitioned, we are delivering an ‘inform, educate, enforce’ approach. While we acknowledge this takes time, we also reserve our regulatory powers for those that consistently do the wrong thing, to ensure we maintain the highest safety outcomes. We’re using multiple data sources to ensure we identify high risk operators. Examples include crash data, data captured from our national camera network, information provided from industry, police and other state agencies. We are becoming data rich to ensure we can tailor our activities to the areas where we need to provide the most focus. So, compliant operators and drivers shouldn’t see us, as we are focused on allowing industry to operate seamlessly and effectively in doing what they do well. As we complete the full transition of services, we will continue to grow our data and resource capabilities which will allow us to become a truly riskbased regulator.

MTP

MOORE TRUCK PARTS PUTS ON A SHOW AT AAAA At a recent Australian Automotive After Market Association (AAAA) and Collision Repair three-day conference at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, after-market truck parts reached another exciting milestone. Peter Moore, CEO of Moore Truck Parts (MTP) was more than impressed with the attention their award-winning display received and that it was so well accepted by new and existing customers; the likes of repair shops, spare parts dealers, insurance companies and vehicle manufacturers. MTP displayed many new products in their everincreasing range of body panels and glass parts to suit the majority of Japanese and European trucks available in Australia. MTP prides itself that their products come with a lifetime warranty that was first introduced by Moore over 20 years ago.

Photo: Recent aftermarket parts expo saw plenty of eyes on the MTP stand.

Peter Moore openly acknowledges that MTP’s quality aftermarket parts are not marketed to compete with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) market, MTP purely offers truck owners, repairers and insurance companies an alternative product to keep their truck/s on the road with minimal costs and delays.

Kevin who is based in South Australia, for their dedication and hard work for the three days of the exhibition and their work prior to and after the event. Moore would also like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of his team in the background for their help in organising such a successful exhibit.

News The Canadian utility will trial electric vehicles in its fleet

Enmax starts Canadian electric fleet vehicle pilot The pilot will act as a test for the utility sector Electricity and energy utility Enmax has become the first utility in Canada to pilot medium-duty electric fleet vehicles. Two Enmax electric fleet vehicles are hitting the streets across Calgary. The pilot program is the first of its kind in Canada and could save an estimated 4,300 litres of diesel per vehicle every year.

“This pilot will help us better understand the performance of electric vehicles and how they operate in the field,” Enmax president Jana Mosley says. “When it comes to electrification, we have an incredible opportunity to do just that, by electrifying first.” The pilot forms part of Enmax’s goal to electrify its mobile fleet by

Logistics company picks Kenworth for order Kenworth says the deal proves 4 Gen Logistics’ focus on EV technology Kenworth has announced it has received an order for 20 Kenworth T680Es from US logistics company 4 Gen Logistics. The order process began when 4 Gen Logistics owner David Duncan attended a Kenworth Driving to Zero Emissions customer event in January at the Paccar Innovation Centre in California. During the event, Duncan test drove a Kenworth T680E and learnt about its new battery electric model. “I was very impressed,” Duncan says. “I especially noticed that the T680E is very quiet and responsive.” 4 Gen Logistics provides drayage services to California’s Port of Long Beach and has a terminal in Rialto near San Bernardino to serve the Inland Empire. The family-owned transportation business plans to base its Kenworth T680E electric vehicles at the two facilities, complementing its

combined 147 Kenworth T680s that it currently owns, including three which run on compressed natural gas (CNG). According to Duncan, the test drive and event helped influence his choice to place the order for T68OEs through Inland Kenworth in Phoenix. “We take pride in being early adopters of the latest technologies the industry offers and we look forward to being one of Kenworth’s first customers to place the Kenworth T680E into operation,” Duncan says.

2030, as Enmax says electric vehicles aren’t just better for the environment, but they’re also more cost-efficient in the long run. “When compared to a standard gas or diesel vehicle, the total cost of electric vehicle ownership over the lifecycle is about 50 per cent less for maintenance and operational expenses,” Mosley says. Having received just over $1 million in funding from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) for the pilot, Enmax says it will share what it learns with peer utilities to help advance a cleaner energy future for the industry. “ERA funding is helping to de-risk a promising technology by supporting its field testing in a real-world setting,” ERA CEO Steve MacDonald says. The two Class 6 fully electric trucks have a custom-built body from Intercontinental Truck Body and chassis from International, a subsidiary of Navistar. The logistics company will add 20 more Kenworth electric trucks to its fleet

“4 Gen is committed to becoming a zero-emission fleet by 2025 – 10 years before California requires drayage trucks operating in the state to achieve that standard.” The logistics company also used voucher incentives through the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) zero-emission incentive project and grant money from California’s Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) to purchase the 20 trucks. Kenworth assistant GM of sales and marketing Jim Walenczak says: “This major Kenworth T680E order is a strong commitment by David Duncan and 4 Gen Logistics to significantly drive towards zero emissions.” In addition to the T68OE, Kenworth’s Driving to Zero Emissions program also features the Class 6 K270E and Class 7 K370E battery electric vehicles and Paccar parts charging stations, designed for pickup, delivery and short regional haul operations.

Pure Hydrogen and Bucher will work together on developing zero emission garbage trucks

Pure Hydrogen and Bucher enter agreement Pure Hydrogen and Bucher will partner to build zero emission waste collection trucks Australian clean energy company Pure Hydrogen is entering into an agreement with sustainable machinery developer Bucher to produce waste collection trucks in Australia. The two companies will collaborate in a new waste management collection initiative that will begin throughout 2022. Bucher will supply Pure Hydrogen with refuse truck bodies, including electronic side lifter arms and garbage truck compactors. Starting on July 1 2022, Pure Hydrogen will then use the truck bodies and integrate them with hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEV) before supplying them to Pure Hydrogen’s Australian customers as part of a cleaner waste collection system. From this arrangement, Pure Hydrogen will become Australia’s leading supplier of hydrogen fuel cell-powered heavy commercial vehicles, forming part of the company’s commitment to provide more sustainable waste management solutions to the public. “We are delighted to be partnering with Bucher Municipal for the supply of waste collection bodies,” Pure Hydrogen managing director Scott Brown says. “The market for garbage trucks running on clean green hydrogen fuel is significant and will help what is a very large industry reduce its emissions and fuel costs.” The two companies have entered a 60-month contract with the option of a one-year extension available. Pure Hydrogen has recently completed ordering all of the components required for the trial HFCEV truck that will help collect waste in Australia.

Canberra trials electric garbage truck An electric garbage truck will be put through its paces on the capital’s streets Transport is responsible for 60 per cent of harmful emissions in the ACT, so, when it comes to tackling climate change, switching fuelled vehicles to electric ones is a high priority. Following the addition of 12 battery electric buses to the Transport Canberra fleet this year and a further 90 on the way, the ACT government has taken another step toward zero emissions by trailing an electric garbage truck. The electric garbage truck, a diesel Hino FE 1426 with an electric motor conversion, will be based at the government’s Allara St depot in Civic, which has already been fitted with charging infrastructure following an earlier electric tipper truck trial. The trial will provide an understanding of the features and benefits of electric powered heavy commercial vehicles to provide

The NHVR has now allowed seven EWDs

NHVR gives green light to seventh EWD The regulator now allows Bustle Technology’s EWD option The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has approved a seventh electronic work diary (EWD) option. Bustle Technology’s EWD option is now available for companies and transport workers to use. The NHVR says operators are starting to reap the benefits of EWDs through productivity gains, better fatigue management and enhanced driver safety. “For example, Bustle’s EWD complements its existing end-to-end transport management system solution, which includes compliance, workshop, operations and finance modules,” NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says. “By wrapping as many solutions as possible into their software and aligning it with the Industry Master Code of Practice, Bustle is enabling transport operators to run compliant operations with fewer systems. “When we developed the model for EWDs, we set the performance standards, not the type of technology, and enabled the market to meet the standard.” NHVR says the range and diversity of solutions on offer with EWDs in the heavy vehicle industry allows companies to choose the “most suitable EWD for the size and complexity of their business”. Drivers are reminded when switching to an EWD to continue to carry their written work diary for a transition period to comply with the requirement to carry 28 days of records. The NHVR also recommends drivers check the NHVR website to ensure they’re using an NHVR-approved EWD.

Hyzon to build Hydrogen refuelling depot

Hyzon will open a depot in Melbourne

The Noble Park-based depot will service the latest wave of hydrogen powered trucks Hyzon Motors Australia has announced plans to build a green hydrogen refuelling depot at its regional headquarters in Melbourne. The new commercial scale hydrogen depot will support Hyzon’s growing manufacturing operations in Australia and will work to supply hydrogen to new customers while showing the commercial viability of hydrogen as a way of decarbonising fleet operations. Hyzon is working in partnership with RACV, hydrogen specialists ENGV and others to confirm a design before planning, permitting and developing the green hydrogen depot, which Hyzon expects to have online in late 2023. Currently, Hyzon is delivering a first order of hydrogen powered vehicles for RACV subsidiary Nationwide Group, with these vehicles forming the first customers of the planned hydrogen depot. RACV is helping to develop the green energy strategy for

Hyzon’s Noble Park site, with the green hydrogen refuelling depot expected to be powered in part by onsite solar generation. Hyzon officially opened the manufacturing facility and announced the development of the green hydrogen refuelling depot in April. “Green hydrogen is a key part of our plan to halve emissions by 2030 and we’re creating jobs in new industries as we lead Australia’s clean energy transition,” Victorian energy minister Lily D’Ambrosio says. Hyzon CEO Craig Knight adds: “Our hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles will play a key role in the decarbonisation of the transport sector and be a key component of Australia’s fuel security strategy for the future.” According to Hyzon, the company’s green hydrogen depot is only the beginning of a push towards renewable hydrogen technology in Australia.

Carrying THE LOAD

As part of ongoing work to help improve the lives of truck drivers across Australia, a survey was undertaken to truly understand the physical and mental pressures truckies have to manage on a daily basis. Here, Deals on Wheels speaks with Dr Caryn van Vreden from Monash University to hear why greater research into different aspects of truckie health is necessary Words | Cat Fitzpatrick

t's a common complaint – you’ve been on the road for hours and your back is playing up again, or you want lunch but the only option is fast food, or for the fourth time that morning you get cut off by another car driver in a rush. The endless stresses and strains from being behind the wheel can build to become a daily burden of physical and mental stress exacerbated by tight time pressures, a lack of facilities and abuse from the general public.

It was found that short-haul drivers suffer higher levels of mental stress due to traffic and abuse from the public

At Monash University’s Driving Health project, research has been undertaken to build a picture of the health and working life of truckies in Australia to understand the pressures they face, with the final aim of developing programs to improve driver health. Part of this research involved an online survey of 1,390 Australian truck drivers to generate a snapshot of their physical and mental health.1 Driving Health is a three-year project that started off analysing workers’ compensation data to look at the overall health of transport workers. It was found that truck drivers are at much higher risk of

being injured or killed while on the job than other transport workers or employees in other male-dominated industries. Deciding to focus on why this was the case, the Driving Health team spoke to truckies across Australia to get a clearer picture of their overall health and mental wellbeing. The survey results were stark, if maybe unsurprising. A quarter of respondents reported being overweight and over half obese. Three in 10 reported three or more chronic health conditions and poor general health. Back problems were the more commonly diagnosed condition, followed by high blood pressure and mental health problems, while 44 per cent of drivers reported chronic pain. “We know from a lot of research in the transport and trucking industry, and other industries, that physical and mental health go hand in hand, and that was shown in our results as well,” says Dr Caryn Van Vreden, project coordinator in the Driving Health team at Monash University. “Drivers with a larger number of diagnosed medical like diabetes or a mental health

issue, or musculoskeletal issue, were more likely to have severe psychological distress. It’s important to look at these things together because none of it works in isolation – it all works together to impact the overall health of a driver. So, without good physical health, it’s almost impossible to have a good mental health state.” As well as being the largest survey undertaken to date of Australian truck driver health, this was the first to look at the differences between long-haul (driving more than 500km a day) and short-haul drivers. This showed that short-haul drivers were more likely to suffer from severe psychological stress, while long-haul drivers were more likely to be obese and report pain lasting for over a year. “We looked at both long-haul and short-

haul because we know that things like time spent on the road, time spent away from family, access to food – these things differ between long-haul and short-haul drivers,” explains van Vreden when asked why it was important to understand the differences between the two. “We found that short-haul drivers tended to fare a bit worse with mental health – they had higher psychological distress – whereas longhaul drivers were more likely to have pain or musculoskeletal problems and that reflects the conditions under which they work.” She says that this comes down to the common problem of long-haul drivers spending a long time on the road in a confined cab with not much time or available facilities to get out and stretch or do some exercise. The increased level of mental stress experienced

Along with exercise, a lack of access to healthy food is contributing to problems with weight management, particularly for long-haul truckers

by short-haul drivers could be due to being stuck in urban traffic all day, dealing with abusive members of the public and bad driving from other road users. “Drivers were really motivated to speak to us,” says van Vreden when asked about the response from truckies to the survey. “I think they are really aware of what the problems are in the industry and what needs to change. "We decided to do this survey online so we could reach as many drivers as possible. It ended up being one of the largest surveys for truck drivers in the country and we think that it’s really because they have a lot to say.”

Challenges of the road As well as the well-known difficulties of attracting younger drivers into the industry, previous work undertaken by the Driving Health team showed that that suicide is the second leading cause of death in younger drivers. This was backed up by this survey, with results showing that younger drivers and those with multiple diagnosed medical conditions are at increased risk of severe psychological stress. “Obviously, older drivers who have been in the game longer have learnt how to manage those day-to-day problems that come along with truck driving,” says van Vreden as to why this is the case.

Drivers were really

motivated to speak to us

“They might have fewer familial obligations, so younger drivers might have a young family, children at home, that they don’t get to see. But [older drivers] are also more experienced – they have been in the industry long enough to deal with the day-to-day stressors of scheduling, long hours on the road and the public. “The thing that younger people might not realise about being a truck driver is that it’s an extremely skilled, very tough job with high demands but, realistically, it is also underpaid and undervalued.” As to why drivers are also less likely to access mental health services, she says that it’s partly cultural, with male-dominated industries being less encouraging towards talking about mental health problems, but also due to a lack of tailored services. “Part of our research found that truckies need to talk to somebody who understands what they are going through, so someone who may have been a truck driver themselves or has worked in the transport industry,” she says.

“It’s only now that we are seeing a lot of really great initiatives popping up for the transport industry with regards to mental health. “Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds is one example where they are trying to provide a space for truck drivers to go and talk about their mental health problems to people who know the industry and know where they are coming from.” When asked what, overall, many drivers find the most difficult to manage, van Vreden says that, although it is different for every driver, she commonly finds that a lack of physical activity is a key issue. “Physical activity is one of the hardest things for them to access because it’s hard to find the time, there are little to no facilities on the road, and when they do have a bit of time, they might be more likely to catch up on sleep,” she explains. “Diet is also really hard as there is a lack of good, healthy food on the road for drivers, but they have a little bit of control around what they may be able to carry with them in

Back pain is the most common physical issue reported

their cabin if they are lucky enough to have refrigeration in their truck. “Loneliness and metal state is an interesting one because we did ask drivers in a followup survey how much time they spent working alone. The majority of drivers spent most of their time working alone, but only a very small percentage of them reported experiencing loneliness. And we find that this is because they have quite a good support network – especially long-haul drivers who are constantly communicating with each other over the radio, so I think it’s the physical aspect that’s the most challenging.” Interestingly, however, even though such high levels of medical issues and mental stress were seen in respondents, truckies also reported high levels of work ability. “We definitely found it surprising,” she says of the seemingly contrasting information, “but we think it’s because truck drivers are really resilient people and … it’s a ‘she’ll be right’ culture. [Truckies] are resilient – they get on with the job regardless of whether they might have lower back pain or an injury because so many of them work with long-term pain.

“It’s the nature of pushing through, which isn’t a good thing for their health but there is that attitude of pushing through the pain and getting on with the job that makes that work ability value so much higher. They rate themselves with high work ability because they can still do the job despite being in physical discomfort and sometimes mental discomfort.” Improving driver health The final stage of the Driving Health project, using the survey data as well as phone surveys and interviews with drivers and their families, was to develop a Driving Health Allocator Training Program (DHAT). This is a free resource aimed at allocators and the supervisors and managers of truck drivers to help them understand how they can better support and improve the health and wellbeing of drivers in their company. “As part of our research we found that most of the interventions and programs that are out there focused on health are targeted at the drivers themselves and are placing the burden on truck drivers to improve their health,” says van Vreden.

physical activity is one of the

hardest things for them to access

“And what we tried to do in the last phase of the project was to target the direct managers of drivers – so supervisors, allocators, etc. – to educate them on the different things that influence driver health and to see if we could implement an intervention at that level.” She says that DHAT has been created to support other truckie-targeted initiatives that are improving access to health services. “We are definitely seeing really great initiatives from people like OzHelp’s Health in Gear, who actually go to truck stops and service stations with their Truckie TuneUp program. They have a nurse on staff to do health checks and they’ve got ongoing personal support that can be provided by telephone, and also online resources. So, apart from intervening at the level of the manager, we really think this approach of going to truck stops and interacting with drivers one-on-one will be a useful approach.”

you have to look at truck drivers and their individual working factors to know what you might need to intervene with,” says van Vreden of how a focus on truckie health could be expanded in future. “For example, you could target mental health programs to short-haul drivers or maybe a mindfulness course, or something that you can do to deal with the stresses of the public and the road. “In terms of the research perspective we’ve also found that there have been a lot of initiatives and programs implemented in the past but very few of them have been evaluated properly. We don’t have a lot of information about what works and what works well. We can work on that to develop new programs. So, from our perspective, evaluating existing programs and interventions would be really useful as well.”

What next? “What we’ve highlighted in the research is that, when you’re looking at the trucking industry, it’s not a one size fits all and that

Staying true to his love of Macks over the years, Bluey Gordon has now found his first one – a CH Mack – and is planning to restore it to its original condition. Here, he discusses a life rich in experience and the ups and downs that have made him the man he is today Words | Greg Bush

luey Gordon leans back on a desk chair, his demountable office building in the yard sitting adjacent to a varied assortment of Mack trucks. He’s up for a chat and has a multitude of stories to tell, unfortunately some of which can’t be repeated in these pages.

Proud Mack truck fleet owner Bluey Gordon

It’s been a long haul for the 76-year-old. Born and raised in the Darling Downs city of Toowoomba, it’s a place he’s always called home, apart from a 12-month compulsory military assignment to Vietnam in the years 1967 to ’68. But more about that later. Gordon tells of trying his hand at a number of vocations, including truck driving, pulling beers, selling baked goods and, finally, running his own fleet of Mack trucks with a new Anthem leading the way. For the record, Gordon’s given name is Graham but, as with many men born with red hair in bygone years, that was never going to last. “I’ve been Bluey all my life,” he explains. “A lot of people wouldn’t know my name.” He tells of his early working years driving a water truck around Miles and Chinchilla. “That was when they were doing seismic for oil in those early days. They were just smaller rigs, just truck rigs. We were drilling holes and they were blowing them.” Gordon says he enjoyed the work and, as he says, it made him a “few dollars”. Not bad for a bloke in his late teens during the 1960s.

That ended when he was called up for National Service in 1966, which the Coalition government had reintroduced the year before. Eight months later he was on a ship to Vietnam. The general belief back then was that conscripts weren’t required to go off to war unless they volunteered. “A lot of people say you didn’t, but there was no way out,” Gordon says. “You were made to go; there was no volunteering about it all. I had my 21st birthday going over and 22nd coming back.” At the time there was growing opposition about Australia’s participation in the Vietnam War and animosity towards the returning soldiers. The ship carrying Bluey and his war-torn mates, the HMAS Sydney, was due to dock on April 24. But it sat outside Sydney Harbour until April 26 to avoid possible protests. Once the ship docked, Gordon was handed tickets for his trip back to Queensland. He had leave owing from his two years in service and headed home to Toowoomba. Three months later he received notification that he was to attend Enoggera Army Barracks in Brisbane to be officially discharged. “When I went to Enoggera I was there for a week. They checked your teeth, grabbed your old fella and made you cough, and sent you home. I never ever heard from them since,” Gordon says.

“Even to get the medals, we had to apply for them. No one came near us. That was the end of the story.” Gordon says he has no fond memories of his time in the Vietnam War. “It wasn’t a place to be in any way, shape or form. There was nothing in the system that made you happy at all or what we had to do. “A lot of people would agree with me that they should never have dragged us off the street and sent us there. It should never have happened. “It would never happen to my kids. Never.” According to Gordon, he’d lost two of the best years of his life and returned with what he explains was a “bulletproof” attitude. The stigma surrounding returning Vietnam solders added to his state of mind, and friends from his pre-Army days were gone. “I’ve got five children and they would tell you stories about what I was like. I was never physically abusive to any of them, but I was

just cranky. I was just one of those blokes that, if it didn’t go right for me, I’d go off my head.” It wasn’t until aged 60 that Gordon sought professional help. “I realised I was out of control for most of my bloody life.” League legend However, there were plenty of good times for him, too. Back from the war, Gordon found work at Browns Transport, led by one of Toowoomba’s most famous rugby league players, Edwin Brown, whose nickname, due to political correctness, can’t be repeated here. However, any Google search will explain the Edwin Brown story and the protests leading to the removal of his name on a Toowoomba Sports Ground stand. “He was a great bloke,” Gordon recalls. “When I worked for him, he used to employ blokes and bring them up and get them to play for Toowoomba.”

Bluey’s first truck – and first Mack. He later had it repainted white

With a bunch of young men working at Browns, Gordon made new friends that he’s still good mates with today. Brown’s son was the local Leyland car dealer, leading to the transport business primarily running Albions, Austins and Leyland Boxer trucks. “He had a lot of eight-tonne trucks, he had trailers and did 30 trips a day to Brisbane. Most of them went down loaded and then back loaded. We had the foundry, abattoirs and we had bottles.”

Gordon spent around 13 years at Browns Transport, eventually being promoted to the role of foreman. A change of career came when his brother, Trevor, was offered the job of managing the Cheyenne Hotel in Drayton on Toowoomba’s outskirts. Trevor invited Gordon to join the business where he stayed for close to seven years. “We had a lot of fun at the pub,” he recalls. Following that venture, he was back behind the wheel. Not in a truck, mind you, but a school bus that he operated for close on three years. He laughs when he says that one of the school children is now in his employ. “He was one of the kids who was well behaved.” Daily bread After selling the school bus run, Gordon did a few odd jobs here and there until two locals he knew, Vyv Pascoe and Kerry Pugh, bought a bakery in town, renaming it Pascoe Pugh Bakeries. Gordon became a contractor, buying a van from the businessmen to deliver bread to vendors. “After a while I told them I’d had enough. So, when I sold the vendors’ run, they asked if I would work direct for them, which I did. “They had a little truck and I had to deliver a lot of pies. You’d go out everywhere, out in the bush, up in central Queensland.” The trips would take Gordon north to towns such as Moura and Moranbah, delivering about 1,500 cartons of products each trip. Each organisation would take 100–150 cartons, mainly directed at school and club annual fundraising events.

Gordon admits to taste testing the goods along the way. “I’d load up at 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning and Kerry would give me a couple of pies and say, ‘there’s your breakfast, get going’,” Gordon laughs. “I did that for a while and then I got to the stage where I’d had enough. I’d had a dustup with some of the fellas – they were just too lazy.” However, Pascoe and Pugh obviously saw something more in him, asking if he would like to try his hand at selling the bakery’s products. Having Brisbane Boys College already on their books, Gordon went looking for further customers, winning over prominent establishments such as Brisbane Boys Grammar, Brisbane Girls Grammar, Holy Spirit and St Andrew’s Hospital. He was eventually promoted to the role of sales manager. “We used to take a little Isuzu down to Brisbane, a four or six-tonner,” he says. “Then, as we got bigger, I said: ‘If you want to put a truck on, I’ll put one on.’ That’s how it started.” Gordon bought his first truck in 1995, a maroon-coloured CH Mack, despite initially having Ford on his agenda. He’d just dropped off a load of pies in Brisbane and called into the Ford dealership. It wasn’t a pleasant encounter. “The salesman there just treated me like

shit. I hadn’t owned trucks before and he underestimated me. “I said ‘thanks’ and walked out. From there I went to Mack and bought a truck that afternoon. “A lot of people say, ‘why are you buying a bloody Mack?’ Because they look after me – it’s a good brand.” With a new business name of Gradon Qld Pty Ltd, he was soon doing 13 trips to Brisbane each week. His truck tally grew to four – another CH and two Visions – when he picked up runs to the Gold Coast, Caboolture and Sunshine Coast. He has clocked up

30 years working for the same bakery, now known as Homestyle Bakeries under its new ownership. Passenger seat Gordon has bought eight new Macks since 1995, including three Granites. “One of them is rougher than the other two. What it is, I don’t know.” As for the new Anthem: “It’s like sitting in a lounge chair. It’s just the ride, it’s like driving a car. It’s very quiet and the seats are nice and comfortable. It’s a nice truck.” Unfortunately, he says he suffered a seizure

a few years back, meaning he’s no longer able to sit in the truck’s driver seat, unless its bobtail around the yard. “I’ve got a car licence but they took my truck licence off me three years ago. I love them but I can’t get into them.” It was also around five years ago that Gordon was given the opportunity of buying a water truck business, Queensland Water Services. What made it extra attractive was that it came with three Macks. Realising it was too big a task to run both businesses, his wife Pamela and one of his daughters, Leola, became directors of the venture, although Gordon laughs when he says he has the last say. “He’s the boss,” Leola asserts. As for as the Macks’ maintenance, in-house

mechanic John See keeps the wheels rolling. See knows the Mack brand well, spending 14 years with the truck manufacturer. He also hops into the driver’s seat when demand is high. Unlike the bread deliveries, the water trucks can run up as far as Central Queensland, although they generally stick to the Darling Downs, down to Warwick and east to Ipswich. Gordon also has a side tipper and a drop deck trailer for the occasional extra job. However, water was not a friend of the Gordon family in late February this year. Like most of Australia’s east coast, southeast Queensland copped a deluge and Gordon’s bakery runs to Brisbane were hit by flash flooding.

He had sold the old truck off when it ticked over a million kilometres. Twelve months ago, he recognised the old Mack on an auction website. “I wanted it back because it was my first truck,” he says. “I want to bring it back to its former glory.” Gordon plans take the cab off, strip it back and redo the chassis, brakes and bearings. The old CH sits out on the family farm, alongside an old B-model that he’s in the process of restoring.

A Mack Vision, another old faithful but still working in the fleet, has clocked up more than three million kilometres with the help of an engine replacement. “You wouldn’t know it by looking at it. It’s quite a tidy truck,” he says. Gordon admits to spending most of his time on the farm nowadays, although he’s always close to the phone. “I’ve got cattle there, and we pull a lot of water out of the farm as well for the water trucks.” As for retirement? He leans back and replies emphatically: “Not at the moment.” Gordon still has much to do, keeping an eye on business while tinkering with his beloved old Macks.

All good trucks need to have a name

ast ability and good looks generally don’t go hand in hand. Often it’s a case of choosing either aesthetics or ability but with Scott Shaw’s silver and blue 2005 Kenworth C500 he has the best of both worlds – good looks and massive amounts of kick-arse capability, kind of like Chuck Norris if he had plastic surgery. But a neat segue from a martial arts legend who is as tough as the proverbial coffin nail to the trucking incarnation of that same robustness has to be stretched today because we have not one, but two Kenworth C500s. Double Chuck anyone? On the prowess front, Shaw has no one to thank but the Kenworth gods for imbuing his Charlie with all the strength to go anywhere, do anything and drag back whatever, all in time for dinner, but when it comes to the C500’s good looks Shaw has himself and Jon Kelly of MegaTruckers fame to thank for that. “Some people say I'm good with the graphic stuff, but I don't know about that, but I drew it all up,” says Shaw on the stripe design of his C500. “I was going to do it the same as my old

nine, ‘The Judge’, which everyone knows. I changed it a little bit to fit in with the old RTA [Road Trains of Australia] stripes and just put my colours into it. Jon's got a good eye for detail so, between the two of us, it came off pretty good, I think.” Kelly has much the same to say on the theme of Shaw’s C500 but can also speak to the merits of C500 ownership as the white Charlie you see on these pages is Kelly’s personal truck, which he has brought out just for our photo shoot today. “Scott’s truck is little bit of his colours and then there's a bit of artistic license here with me chucking some of my colours on it just to liven it up a bit,” Kelly says. “So, it was a sort of scrapbook of both of our designs, and tastes and colours you know. We wanted to sort of keep it as original as we could but with a bit of a twist.” Back with Shaw, who’s based at Alton Downs outside Rockhampton, as his phone line crackles in and out of reception but he’s more than happy to talk about all things Kenworth, and his C500. “I'm only 25 kays west of Rocky and I'm

when the C500 came up

I jumped at it

Scott Shaw and Jon Kelly both had a play with stripes and colours to come up with something that’s modern but also a nod to the past

flat out getting service on the phone,” Shaw laughs. “I’ve known Jon Kelly for a while. Some people talk down about him but I've never had a drama with him and he's a good bloke to me. “Jon knew I’d been looking for one for a while so, when the C500 came up, I jumped on it. “I've been working for myself for 13 years now and I've been driving trucks 22 years, I suppose. Growing up on a cattle property is what got me into it. I mainly do tipper work and drop deck work, pretty much 75 per cent is side tipper work doing roads and construction. “When it comes to trailers I hook up as a quad set. Otherwise, I just run an AB-triple, but I’ve got Bruce Rock Engineering making new trailers up for the Charlie in Western Australia and they should be here soon. They're going to be all colour matched to the truck and I just have to get one of my A trailers sandblasted and repainted because my old ones were all red and white, and now the new

ones are going to be silver and blue to match the Charlie.” Being a Kenworth man, after the C500 is there anywhere left to go in the Kenny universe he would like to explore? “Nah, the Charlie will do me for a while. I'm gonna sell my T659, which is in the workshop at the moment with a broken crankshaft. I've been waiting a bit over three months to get a motor for it and I've had motors fall through and all sorts going wrong, but the story is I was pulling a quad and giving it a fair bit of horsepower and snapped the crankshaft right on the number six piston.” We all know things go wrong when anything mechanical is involved but Shaw hasn’t let the experience sour him on the Cummins. “These old Gen II are best motors out, I reckon,” he says. “Even on fuel economy, I reckon the old Gen II motors are better than all these new motors. It’s the way you set it up I suppose, other fellas will mostly disagree but yeah I

can't stand these new electronic motors. Gen II is electronic, too, but it's not like these new ones with the AdBlue and all that to them. “Part of the reason I went back to buying an older truck with the C500 was to get away from the new motors.” Tasty rigs While we’re waiting for the two C500s to roll out for some photos, we take a walk around Kelly’s new base of operations in Archerfield, Queensland and there’s a tonne of tasty rigs to check out. “It's pretty much like we're operating in a time where people can't get trucks and we've got 50 on the ground here,” says Kelly as we wander the yard. “We're defying, I suppose, the market trend of where people don't have the ability to get trucks. We've got some great trucks, but my biggest problem is I can't fall in love with everything and do a custom paint job or a custom fit-out on everything. That's the challenge,” he smiles. People who think reality TV shows are what they say on the tin might be disappointed when meeting Kelly in person. The fiery persona he conveys on MegaTruckers

might be lurking within but, in the flesh, he just comes across as a relaxed bloke who absolutely lives for trucks. “We try and make the process of buying a truck, and dealing with someone, as nice as we can,” Kelly says. “There are always speed bumps involved with trucks because they're mechanical and it can go bad and sometimes stuff goes bang, but, you know, we try and do the right thing by everyone.” Getting back on the subject of Shaw’s C500, Kelly’s eyes light up as both of them are in awe of what the big Charlies can do. “I've known Scott probably close to 10 years, if not more,” Kelly says. “His nine-oh was a good-looking truck and

we sort of kept in contact when he bought that new. Then he bought a truck off me a couple of years ago at the old yard when we kicked off at Rocklea. “When I bought this big package of Charlies he'd been chasing one for quite a while, so he just rang me one day and asked if I had one available. I said: ‘Matter of fact, I do.’” While selling the C500s was done without advertising a single one, the road for Kelly to actually get his hands on the trucks was a bit longer and more expensive than he might have anticipated. “I've known Dave Jones, who owns RTA, for a long time. We've done a lot of business over the years and I wanted RTA 193, which is the last Charlie made, and I've been trying to buy it off him for the last six years. “I actually had quite a few Charlies in the HHA [Heavy Haulage Australia] days. I had three of them that I did up, and they were very famous trucks. Everyone loved them and, ever since I sold them, all I’ve just been wanting is to fill that void of getting one back in the family. “So, I kept on Dave, and Dave being Dave

told me to piss off about 460 times and then made me buy another 30 trucks to get to the Charlie. He goes: ‘Listen. You can have 193 but you gotta buy 28 other trucks’, so when everyone asks how much I paid for the C500 I let them know it was about $7.2 million actually,” Kelly laughs. “When it came down to doing the deal he goes: ‘I'm not gonna sell you yours. If you want to buy them, you need to buy them all’, so he gave me a price and we came in and bought the lot. Six C500s and they're all gone now and we didn’t even have to advertise one of them.” Passion is the dominant theme here and it’s easy to see why, just ask Shaw or Kelly about their Charlies and the pride of owning what is the pinnacle of achievement in the trucking world is instantly visible on their faces. The legend of the C500 also shows that owning one is a bit like have a constant Chuck Norris in your corner – you know the old bloke is getting on a bit but you also know that, when push comes to shove, he’ll have you covered.

road ON THE

AGAIN

Last year’s quick jaunt in Scania’s new R770 flagship showed a lot of potential, but a more thorough undertaking was required to really put it through its paces. An overnight trip north from Melbourne to Balranald and back showed that this truck really does deserve the fanfare 137

29/4/2022 2:14 pm

very now and then, something special comes along. It doesn’t matter what it is. It can be anything. For whatever reason or reasons, it just comes together in a way which makes it, well, special. A cut above. A bit better. A good thing. Ahead of the pack. Something that doesn’t just do one or two things well, but does most things better than most. Even so, there’s a danger in calling something ‘special’ because so much depends on individual opinion. After all,

one person’s delight is quite easily another person’s derision and, let’s face it, when it comes to trucks, opinions can be poles apart. However, after a few days in Scania’s R770 flagship, it would almost certainly be a severely jaundiced and irrevocably riveted view that failed to acknowledge or even comprehend something altogether special about this Swedish package. It’s not just the muscle and mountainmunching 3,700Nm (2,730lb-ft) of torque bulging out of the burly 16.4-litre V8, or the way Scania’s much evolved 14-speed

Scania’s current cab is

certainly well appointed

overdrive (0.8:1) automated shifter pours such potent performance so smoothly and efficiently through a tall 3.07:1 rear tandem. Nor is it just the way the highly effective retarder works so compatibly with the software ‘smarts’ of the various cruise control and safety functions, or the exceptional road handling of the airbag front axle and electro-hydraulic steering system. It’s not even the remarkable ride and comfort inside a stylish and superbly built cab. Quite simply, what makes the R770 so special is the way all these things come

together to create a truck which, in this estimation, is to date the pinnacle of Scania’s achievements and, in any cabover comparison, sets a standard of the highest level. Again, other opinions may see it differently, and time and toil will no doubt deliver the ultimate judgement, but, over more than four decades, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to drive many good trucks. Special trucks. In any era, though, few have delivered so many attributes in one premier package as the R770.

On the inside there’s a lot to like. Comfort, build quality and fit and finish are superb but the bunk has its fans and detractors

Scania’s cab cooler is an excellent inclusion

First pass Obviously enough, Scania’s European announcement in late 2020 that it was reclaiming the title of ‘world’s most powerful production truck’ with the launch of the R770 was big news in itself. Soon after, Scania Australia left no doubt that it was keen to bring the new model’s momentum to our part of the world to spearhead a major update of its V8 and 13-litre lines. Then, just a few weeks before Christmas 2021, following the arrival of the first two R770s in the country, came an invitation to take Scania’s biggest banger for a short

B-double run from Melbourne to near Bendigo and back. Not far, for sure, but more than enough to light the fire for something more conclusive. Something, in effect, to determine if this new flagship was actually as good as a few hours in Melbourne traffic and on the undulating Calder Highway were so quick to first suggest. From the outset, there was a lot to like and plenty to talk about. As our report last February stated: “Justifiably, all the talk at the moment is on the V8 flagship’s formidable grunt but the raw fact is that there’s far more to this truck than the burly block underneath.”

142

29/4/2022 2:14 pm

High on the list of likes was Scania’s overall build quality. “Typically, from the moment you climb in, certain things become blatantly obvious. First is the build quality, fit and finish of the modern Scania. First rate! Furthermore, Scania appears to have declined the trend to replace conventional gauges and switchgear with the digital screens and touchpads now in vogue with several of its continental competitors. For us more mature folk, it’s nice to see some things remain the same.” On another tack, “… it takes a while to forge familiarity with the many buttons,

switches and knobs controlling a vast array of functions but obviously, time and travel eventually overcome any awkwardness.” As for the grit and grunt of the big bore V8 hauling a gross weight of 62.1 tonnes with just 1,700km under its belt, expectations and reality were on much the same wavelength as the big Swede showed “an easy willingness to hold 100km/h around 1,250rpm”. “Yet, even with such potent performance on tap, it would be a mistake to think the R770 expresses itself with dashing displays of brute force or bold ferocity. It is, in fact, quite the opposite, delivering its deep reserves of resolve with a metered smoothness and seemingly sympathetic appreciation for the running gear putting such potent performance on the ground. “As was the case with the superseded R730, the 770’s hill-crunching torque peak is only available in 10th to 12th gears, delivering a remarkable capacity to maintain relatively high cruise speeds on long grades. Still, even when a hill demands a deeper gear, there’s nothing at all timid about 3,500Nm (2,583lbft) of torque being dispensed from 1,000 to 1,450rpm all the way from crawler cog through to 9th gear.” As further reported, 770hp (574kW) is reached at 1,900rpm which, on first impression, suggests thirsty fuel consumption. However, as the engine’s performance graphs show, power and torque curves cross over “at a twitch under 1,400rpm [where] the big bore V8 is still pouring out almost 740hp [552kW] and close to 3,600Nm [2,655lb-ft] of torque. What this means is that there’s a fountain of fight right where it counts on the fuel front. “At the end of the day, the on-board trip computer revealed a figure of 1.75km/litre, or 4.93mpg. It’s a return which didn’t disappoint, given such impressive strength from a new truck running at 62.1 tonnes on a route that varied from stuttering suburban traffic to flat freeway and long country grades.” Still, the day-long exercise wasn’t enough. Or at least, not enough to satisfy the thirst for more time behind the wheel to better gauge a range of factors, including the 770 model’s standard use of an airbag front suspension and electrically-enhanced steering system. Sure, the short pre-Christmas drive quelled some concerns from earlier experiences that airbag front suspensions are prone to being soft, even sloppy, while electric steering systems tend to be too reactive, but only a much longer drive on a wide range of roads would provide a more definitive conclusion.

143

29/4/2022 2:14 pm

There was also the desire to spend a night or two in the cab for two specific reasons: First to gauge the effectiveness of Scania’s integrated cab cooler powered by dedicated batteries that allow the system to operate fully for up to eight hours. As explained in our first report: “The cooler core is mounted behind the passenger side air deflector and plumbs fridge air directly through the cab’s HVAC vents. Critically, the integrated ystem deletes the need for cab ‘intrusions or adjustments’ to fit an aftermarket cab cooler.” And second, to attest if our estimation that Scania’s sleeper is one of the least desirable bunks in the premium cab-over class is truly justified. After all, why would Scania develop an extended cab – due in Australia later this year – which adds 300mm to the

depth of the current structure, if there was not the call for a bigger bunk? Difference of opinion Again, however, opinions vary and, according to a pragmatic, well-written email from veteran owner-operator Ken Begg following our initial report on the R770, there’s nothing at all wrong with Scania’s current sleeping arrangements. Based in Mildura (Vic), it’s 50 years since he bought his first truck and as an operator who nowadays runs a Scania R650 and a Volvo FH600 XXL extended cab driven by his son, Begg stoutly defended the current R-series bunk. “I have some experience in living in both a Scania cab and a Volvo cab and spend five nights a week sleeping in my truck,” he said. “The bed on the Scania is 1,000mm wide

144

DOW 479-136-149 ND Scania R770.indd 144

29/4/2022 2:14 pm

New DEALS

and Volvo is 1,050mm wide. Compare this to the ubiquitous [Kenworth] K200 cab, which only has an 800mm-wide mattress.” What’s more, Begg and his son are both big blokes and he was quick to point out that they each get a good night’s sleep in either the Scania cab or Volvo’s XXL bunk. “One would have to be a bit of a nit picker to say 50mm makes some sort of difference,” he commented, adding that in the Scania it takes just five or six seconds to effortlessly, “and I must stress effortlessly, roll the two seats forward to roll the bed out. The beds are pretty much the same size in both the ‘smaller’ Scania cab and the ‘larger’ Volvo cab, so I can’t see the bed being an issue.” There is, he continued, also a downside with a bigger cab’s impact on space between the rear of the truck and front of the trailer. As Begg explained: “We have roadtrain

walking floor trailers that get unhooked and put back together a few times a week. We need to hook up two hydraulic hoses to the couplings behind the cab and these hoses are quite inflexible and need some effort to align with the fittings. “The rear of the Volvo XXL cab is 300mm closer to the front of the trailer, which makes that area quite tight and I find the job of hooking hoses up behind the Volvo quite hard compared to the Scania.” Critically, though, Begg has ordered a new R770 with delivery expected later this year, and he confirms it will not be fitted with Scania’s bigger cab. Simply put, he doesn’t see either the value or the need for the extended cab. He does, however, see the benefit in “a couple of smaller features that are important to me”.

Over almost 1,400km, Scania R770 averaged 2.0km/litre. Big power doesn’t necessarily mean poor fuel economy

To date, the

pinnacle of Scania’s achievements

Short break on the Hay Plain. Few trucks have impressed as much as Scania’s new flagship

The Scania has two roll-out fridges under the bunk, one of which can be used as a freezer and the Scania has its own integrated a/c for engine-off usage. “It is an excellent cooler and saves having to spend another $10k [or thereabouts] on an aftermarket cooler.” A few weeks after Begg’s email, the R770 was ready for our longer run and while it was the same truck driven a few months earlier, there were a couple of differences. For starters, a bullbar had been fitted and a change in turntable placement had seen gross weight dropped to 59 tonnes. Yet, with

just 2,600km on the clock, the truck had obviously been busy with engineers rather than on demo duties. The plan was simple enough: leave Melbourne on the Calder Highway, heading north towards Mildura. Early dinner at Hattah Roadhouse, across to Robinvale then over the border to an overnight stop at Balranald. Next day, head to Hay and pick up the Newell at Narrandera, then south to Jerilderie and back into Victoria at Tocumwal, down to Shepparton and onto the Hume Freeway into Melbourne and Scania Australia headquarters at Campbellfield.

All up, just shy of 1,400km and while performance standards of the big bore V8 were already firmly entrenched in the brain box after the earlier drive, it was an ideal opportunity to assess not only fuel economy over the longer run but also the road handling qualities of the airbag front suspension and electro-hydraulic steering system on various road conditions. Plus, of course, with Ken’s comments in mind, to again consider the attributes or otherwise of Scania’s current R-series sleeper. The airbag front end and electric steering system were, however, the big factors,

especially since they’re now standard issue on the R770. Apparently, wide profile steer tyres are also now standard on the Scania flagship, though the test unit was still fitted with its original 295/80R boots. As stated earlier, previous experiences with steer axles riding on an airbag suspension and electrically enhanced steering systems weren’t particularly positive but, as our initial drive in the 770 indicated, Scania appears to have succeeded on both counts. According to Scania’s information, the airbag front suspension has overcome previous complaints about being too soft in cornering by providing the stiffest suspension it offers from a radius roll perspective. In technical terms: “This new airbag system has 495kNm/rad roll [roll stiffness] compared to 195kNm of the older airbag system and 385kNm of the leaf spring version.” Simply put, the truck ‘stands up’ better with the new airbag front suspension. Consequently: “This airbag suspension replaces the previous system’s multiple arms, and instead locates the [front] axle traditionally with a longitudinal helper leaf spring,” as the schematic, left, highlights. Furthermore, the new airbag design provides a weighing system on both front and rear axles via a dash display and, to assist with rough terrain or low clearance areas, Scania says it “has the ability to be raised up to 220mm or lower the vehicle by 80mm from the factory standard setting”. As for the electrically assisted steering (EAS) system, it effectively comprises two parts – the relatively standard hydraulic base gear and an electric motor. Scania explains: “The base gear functions as a normal power steering gear with hydraulic force. The electric motor assists the driver and adds extra torque to the input shaft on the base gear.” Importantly, “The system is speed dependent with the ability to offer lighter and easier steering during low-speed manoeuvring, whilst firming up for improved road feel and vehicle placement at high speed. The system also features a return-to-centre system, returning to the straight-ahead position automatically, which is extra beneficial when reversing.” Accordingly, Scania says while its EAS system ensures “that the steering wheel torque is always proportional to the resistance coming from the wheels”, it also insists “the driver is still responsible and in command despite the system’s comfort and safety benefits”.

In safe hands As it did in our first run months earlier, this truck was a delight to drive from the moment the big V8 burbled into Melbourne’s morning traffic, with a powertrain that simply oozes strength and smoothness, and top-shelf levels of comfort and class. Again, it took a while to become familiar with the various control buttons and switches, and it could be argued that the placement of switches for cruise control and the like on the lower edge of the steering wheel hub could be better, but overall it’s a small issue in an otherwise exceptional layout. The thing is, the longer spent in the truck, the greater the satisfaction grew. Admittedly, after mixing with Melbourne’s morning traffic and hitting the sharp climbs of the Calder Highway heading towards Bendigo, the truck’s on-board computer was showing

average fuel figures that weren’t particularly impressive. It wasn’t long after, though, as the Calder swings north towards Mildura that the average rapidly improved to 1.9km/litre (5.37mpg) and by end of the day after 650km from Melbourne to Balranald, had settled to a highly respectable 2.0km/litre, or 5.65mpg. Critically, the exceptional road manners and handling quality shown by the truck in our first run became even more impressive as the trip continued, and no more than on the second-rate stretch of road from Hattah to Robinvale. Narrow in parts with no shortage of rough and broken edges, a good deal of truck traffic plies this road. Yet, the Scania’s ride and handling instilled nothing but absolute confidence in the truck’s airbag front end and electrically enhanced steering system. Seriously, top marks. A blustery night had moved in by the time a reasonable parking spot was found

Desperate times, desperate measures There was a time when roadhouses lived or died on the ability to deliver reasonable food and reasonable service at reasonable prices. Nothing too elaborate, just good basic meals and an inherent regard, even gratitude, for a truck driver’s custom. And, regularly, some empathy for the difficulties of life on the road. But times have changed and with the notable, sole exception of Rob Stephens’ Hattah Roadhouse south of Mildura, the recent run in Scania’s R770 highlighted just how far the standards have fallen. The Bridgewater Ampol, for example, seemed as good a spot as any for a short nature break and maybe something to chew on. So, with the truck parked on the dusty pad out back, the woman behind the counter was asked for the key to the toilet. “You gunna buy anything?” she asked back. “Maybe in a sec,” I said, keen for relief. “Well, you can’t use the toilet if you’re not gunna buy something,” she said abruptly. “Are you serious?” I asked. Driven by desperation and animosity, a small puddle beside the truck soon demonstrated just how serious she most certainly was. Later in the day, fortunately, the Hattah Roadhouse was like a pleasant trip

down memory lane. A privately owned roadhouse where the food is cooked fresh, the prices are fair, the atmosphere and welcome are friendly, there are a couple of clean showers and toilets out back, and there’s a distinct appreciation for the men and women driving trucks through this part of the world. Word has it, too, that owner Rob Stephens was somewhat stern in his recent approach to a couple of VicRoads enforcers who decided the area opposite the roadhouse’s parking bay was a good spot for random checks on trucks. After a candid discussion about the effects on clientele, particularly after a protracted downturn in trade due to Covid, they were soon gone. Sadly, the Hattah experience was shortlived as that night the BP at Balranald showed better than most just how low roadhouse standards have fallen. Blocked and filthy showers and toilets, average food that takes ages to appear and a dusty parking bay riddled with potholes were as inviting as a nail in your best pair of thongs. Admittedly, things improved from here on, but only marginally, and the final coffee stop at Wallan on the Hume Freeway typified the modern corporate idea of a roadhouse, mixing trucks with road travellers and asking all to share the same fast food and high prices. Sure, the good ol’ days weren’t always good but when it comes to roadhouses, I’ll take the ol’ days, any day. – Steve Brooks

in a crowded, dusty, dirty and downright disgraceful BP roadhouse at Balranald. A long day made it easy to sleep but, then again, vicious rumours suggest I have the ability to sleep sound on a brick fence. No question, the Scania bunk is comfortable but as Ken Begg’s comments typify, opinions vary on whether the sleeper is adequate for linehaul work. Personally, and I stress ‘personally’, I’m not a fan of moving seats to maximise sleeping space. Maybe, as Begg suggested in his email, I’m being too Millennial in my estimations of what constitutes a good sleeper but, again, it’s doubtful Scania would be introducing an extended cab if there wasn’t some demand. Whatever, the simple fact is that without constant evolution in truck design and comfort features, drivers would be still sleeping in little more than match boxes attached to the back of skinny cabs. That aside, Scania’s current cab is certainly well appointed with its twin fridges and, now, an exceptionally efficient and silent cab cooler, which provided the perfect in-cab temperature all night. Anyway, well rested as dawn broke, the Opticruise transmission’s ‘Economy’ mode was selected for the run across to Hay

and Narrandera to gauge if there was any improvement in fuel economy from the ‘Standard’ setting of the day before. There is, of course, also a ‘Performance’ mode, which offers a few hundred revs more between shifts but unless the truck’s pulling very high weights, it’s hard to see why a driver would even consider it given the extraordinary muscle of this machine. With a steady breeze hitting the side of the combination across the Hay Plains, fuel consumption dipped to 1.9km/litre in Economy mode on the run across to Narrandera but quickly returned to a commendable 2km/litre when the Standard setting was selected for the run into Melbourne. Either way, doing the job with such ease, the big bore Scania showed yet again that big performance doesn’t necessarily equate to poor fuel economy. There’s probably not much else to say about the overall trip other than to express the fact that Scania’s R770 flagship was even more impressive on the longer run than it most certainly had been on the shorter run late last year. All up, a truly good thing. Special indeed!

f you are on top of your truck shows and charity convoys you would know the Sydney Convoy for Kids is regularly run in the latter part of the year. Therefore, seeing an article like this now would normally mean either I am really slow at submitting it or I’m a fortune-telling wizard pre-empting the event.

It was all smiles as the Pearson’s team get ready to head into the show. From left: Chris Mule, Lynette Gaylord, Janelle Smith, Isaac and Moses Elbaz, and Tom Haley

Sure, my editor will willingly attest I am a little slow getting my stories in. I live by the Douglas Adams quote: “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” But I’m not seven months slow, nor am I some kind of clairvoyant Hogwarts-type character as I look terrible in a pointy hat and my beard is too short. The truth is, the 30th running of the Sydney Convoy for kids, which should have taken place last October, was postponed. Surprise, surprise – it was affected by that virus and all those lockdowns. Instead of cancelling, though, the committee chose to postpone it. Postpone it until March 22, 2022 in fact. This allowed me to be able to get down and, along with my apprentice truck photographer, I managed to snap some shots and catch up with a few folks out raising money for NETS (Neonatal & Paediatric Emergency Transport Service) and the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation.

It should be noted that, although the lockdowns and border closures had changed from late last year, the cosmic world, or the fates, or whichever religious deity you believe in, still managed to throw a spanner in the works for the Convoy for Kids committee. This time it was by dumping enough water down that the event’s regular destination was more suited to a water polo carnival than a truck show. As the saying goes, some days you’re the pigeon, some days you’re the statue and with mere days till the event, the committee were no doubt feeling very much the statue. Instead of a further delay, the convoy committee combined their event with the inaugural Harmony Day event being organised by the team from Turbans for Australia and Liverpool Catholic Club. Thankfully the 30th running of the Convoy for Kids would still go ahead. With all the challenges surmounted, and with Sydney actually throwing on a near perfect weather forecast, it was no surprise that at 5am on Sunday morning there were trucks already rolling in. Sydney Dragway at Eastern Creek was the formation area for this year’s convoy and while I wasn’t a pleasant sight at 5am, some of the trucks definitely were. Grabbing shots was proving difficult at the early hour as, due to daylight saving, it was still awfully dark at

that time of the day in Sydney. As I awaited the rising sun my apprentice took the time to point out her fee for the day was ‘coffee, coffee and coffee’ – it was a subtle hint for me to join the other early convoy arrivals and line up at the coffee van. While I couldn’t get photos I could mingle around and talk to many of those that had been trying to shine their trucks up the previous day inbetween showers of rain. Many of those I spoke to had been supporting the event for years, some

even since the beginning. It’s a charity event that has lasted so long because of the good it has done. Previous years had seen entrant levels reaching as high as 800 trucks. Unfortunately, when you factor in the convoy running at a different time of the year, as well as the weather in the preceding week (which had been about as pleasant as a Bachelorette TV marathon), let’s not forget many truckies were out literally keeping the country afloat as the east coast was flooding.

All that resulted in a much smaller convoy than previous years. What they lacked in numbers, though, they made up for in noise and enthusiasm. When 7am rolled around the convoy set off from the dragway and down Ferrers Road towards Preston. The advantage for me and my apprentice was we were able to grab some convoy shots as the trucks left Sydney Dragway, then jump up onto the M7 as the

trucks rolled down Cowpasture Road and beat them to the Liverpool Catholic Club. I managed to capture a few shots as the trucks arrived and parked up for display, though I must admit the smell of the sausage sizzle dragged me into the event area well before the last of the trucks arrived. The Harmony Day event that had been arranged by the Turbans for Australia team meant that it wasn’t just a truck show.

Parking was premium, so the marshalls had to do a good job organising. Big appreciation to all the volunteers

There were rides and events for all the kids (apparently I’m ‘too big’ for the fun rides) as well as plenty of small stalls and markets for the adults.

team. Life threw a lot of obstacles at them all and, as a team, they overcame them for a successful 30th running of the event. A special shout out must go to Mother Nature. During a period of pretty dismal weather, she took the day off and ensured the sun shone for the Sydney Convoy for Kids.

But the more I washed, the more it rained, so I gave in and thought at least I will still be there. Setting out from Dubbo, it rained all the way to Trangie and into the first hour of the truck show. But luckily, around 9am, the rain

lifted with only a few sprinkles, continuing after the ceremony and awards at the showgrounds around 3pm. The organisers had said the show would go on and they stood their ground.

The main street was busier than it has been for some years – since the last truck show at least. Naturally a few attendees ended up at the pub. As well as the food outlets, the showground played host to a market. However, while the tractor pull had to be cancelled, the demolition derby gave the hangers-on some fun and excitement, despite the rain returning shortly before the start. They breed them tough in Trangie. As well as the truck awards, the organisers are working on Trangie’s own Hall of Fame. While they don’t have a building yet, the first

six members were inducted, all local and industry stalwarts and long-time transport operators. Apparently, the reasoning behind the introduction of the Trangie Hall is due to the big Alice Springs Hall of Fame being a road too far. Organisers feel that having something close to the centre of New South Wales would be of benefit to the transport industry and could go on to become a regular special trucking event. Feedback following the Trangie Truck and Tractor Show the town agreed that the local businesses, residents and, of course, all the truck owners and drivers said it was well organised and worth the visit, despite the wet weather. Well done to all involved and let us hope the sun shines on the show next year.

Although Marcus Post may claim his family’s modified Ford LTL isn’t a show truck, it is a striking example of passion for the industry and a love of trucking history Words & Images | Warren Aitken

Y Marcus (right) stands proudly with his younger brother Bradley and a truck almost as old as the two of them together

ou know what I love about our industry? The dichotomy. Now that’s a pretty fancy word. I even had to look it up to understand but it’s fun and appropriate. As I understand it, dichotomy means a division between contrasting things or parts. How does it relate to our industry? Well, that’s easier to explain. We are an industry that thrives on new and modern technology while also being an industry that thrives on old and reliable technology.

The fancy new high-tech gear does the job that the old more simplified gear also accomplishes. In today’s story it’s the latter part we are going to focus on, with another twist. We will be focusing on the old classic gear, but with a young modern driver behind the wheel. By now you’ve all seen the gorgeous green LTL that graces these pages. That is our ‘old’. The ‘young’ is represented by Marcus Post, the driver of this fine-looking Ford. Marcus is a mere pup at only 28-years-old, however, he’s a young man with old school skills, all of which stem from the family run business he’s been a part of since day dot. This family business prides itself on not just old school trucks, but old school values, such as offering a better service, offering a better attitude and offering an all-round better product. Appropriately it is known as

Betterway Transport and after many attempts I finally managed to catch young Marcus for some photos and a chat. Firstly, I must start with a thank you to a good friend, Marcus’s partner, the lovely Corrina Riley. If the name seems familiar it’s no doubt because of the work she does with Woman in Trucking Australia Ltd, or because of the big Black Pete she drives. I’m thanking her because, although I’ve seen the Betterway LTL before and tried to grab photos, I have never managed a proper sit down. I naturally assumed it wasn’t my sparkling personality that was keeping Marcus away, it must just be the fact his LTL is always working. It turns out I was only half right. When Corrina stepped in to mediate a sit-down, I found out Marcus’s reluctance stemmed from humility more than anything else. “It’s not a show truck,” Marcus repeated to Corrina when she mentioned I wanted to shoot it. “He won’t like it, cause it’s not really a show truck.” Although it is a show truck to Marcus, he fears it’s not what many would see as a show truck. Add in the fact that, at nearly 40-yearsold, it’s been around the block a few times. Marcus was sceptical that others would see in the truck what he does. What he failed to

realise is, it’s not all about the chromed rims and stainless wrapping. The essence of our industry is passion. And nothing displays passion more than Marcus, his LTL and the entire Betterway Transport family. So, thank you Corrina for twisting Marcus’s arm, or whatever you twisted, to get him to agree to the story. Family focus Let us start by introducing the players in today’s action. We begin at the top with John and Belinda Post, the head honchos of Betterway Transport. This family company has two out of five sons already behind the wheel, one more itching to go when he’s old

enough, one working behind the tools and, just to buck the trend, one’s a guitar player. The family’s sole daughter went into nursing. It seems the whole family likes professions where you work hard with little recognition. Trucking has been in the Post family for longer than Marcus can recall. Marcus’s dad has been changing gears since before Jesus played halfback, and is still doing it today. When Marcus arrived in the Post household, the family was based in Tasmania where John was hauling logs out of the tough Tasmanian back blocks with an old Mack Cruise-Liner. Straight from birth Marcus was gripped by the trucking bug and would sit beside his dad in the truck as often as he could. Marcus was a bit too young to remember the Mack but recalls the Kenworth T440 his dad had when he was running express between Sydney and Melbourne. Before Marcus was out of nappies, though, the Kenworth was gone and John had returned to carting logs in Tasmania, this time with a tough as nails Ford LTS. NB: For those that know Marcus, please don’t use this turn of phrase to insinuate that he may not have gotten out of diapers until well after his 28th birthday, or anything similar. Anyway, it’s fair to say Marcus’s love for his LTL stems from his formative years alongside his dad in the Ford. John’s big LTS handled the logging work with ease. What it didn’t handle, nor did the Post family, were the demonstrations and protests that eventually curtailed Tasmania’s logging industry. When things slowed down John went back to doing more interstate work

Classic DEALS – Sydney and Melbourne, all that kind of thing – and whatever paid the bills. The ability to roll with the punches and adapt to the situation generated not just a resilience in the Post family but also helped inspire the company name. The Betterway Transport title was the brainchild of mum Belinda, bringing together her vision for how the company would operate and harking back to the era of trucking they’d been working in. All those things culminated in the new business name. Back in the early days you learnt how to do things and how to fix things, or you didn’t get anywhere. Essentially, you learnt a better way to operate, or you wouldn’t be operating. Mix that with Belinda’s aspirations for the company to offer a better service to its clients and it ended up with the new name Betterway Transport. By the time Marcus was old enough to be skipping school and riding alongside his dad, Betterway Transport was up and running with John and his LTS. The change from logging to interstate and general freight work also pre-

empted a change in John’s LTS. With the help of a few specialists the old girl got stretched out and a 60-inch (152cm) bunk added. It didn’t take long for Betterway’s reputation to grow, and so did the workload. This required a growth in the fleet. In late 2009, John and Belinda purchased a second-hand 1985 LTL, with a 3406 engine, a 15-speed overdrive box, Hendrickson suspension and a 40-inch (101.6cm) low roof sleeper. A driver was hired and the LTL was there to assist John with the ever-increasing workload. Sadly, none of the drivers really took the big Ford under their wing and it passed through the hands of several over the years. All the while the young Marcus kept his eye on it, cleaning it, servicing it and caring for it. Stepping up Eventually, Marcus made it clear to his dad that the LTL would be his. No one else deserved it. He started buying parts for it, tinkering around and coming up with cosmetic ideas for it. The only minor hurdle

was that Marcus didn’t even have his car licence yet. But the passion was there, that’s the main point. Years of travelling with his dad, assisting his dad, learning from his dad. All that experience had fostered an old school attitude in a very young new truckie. “When I was old enough, I left school and worked fulltime helping dad,” Marcus recalls. It was a choice he’s never regretted, complimenting his dad with teaching him more than he would ever learn from school. “He taught me how to earn a living.” Nothing beats the life lessons you pick up as a kid from the passenger seat. The two of them completely stripped down and rebuilt a Series 60 Detroit as a ‘leaving school’ present. It helped that it saved them money and taught them a lot as well. Although he was too young to get his licence, Marcus worked alongside his dad until that magnificent piece of paper landed in his wallet. Those years as an offsider taught him how to interact with customers and clients. It taught him how to load and secure a vast array of

different freight options. It taught him how to behave on the road and gave him invaluable on-road experience. All this was happening while Marcus was accumulating and modifying the LTL in anticipation of it being his workhorse. In 2016, the barn doors were swung open and the old LTL was let loose with Marcus behind the wheel. Betterway Transport was prospering in its element. The small company had a core group of clients that appreciated the family’s better way of doing things. Having Marcus on the road now meant the company grew. The extra truck enabled extra work. Even now the company is still growing. A fleet of five trucks now wear the Betterway logo. There’s three Kenworth T401s and the two big Fords – John’s LTS and Marcus’s LTL. Take note, though, that the big spacious Ford you see now wasn’t the truck that Marcus spent his first few years in. Originally it was nowhere near as roomy. “I spent three years driving it with the 40inch low roof,” Marcus says.

“With a fridge between the seats I literally was crawling into the sleeper every night. There was no room to stand up and get dressed either.” I’m pretty sure all those trucks in the ’80s were designed for much smaller drivers. The family made the decision to do a few minor moderations to the old girl, to make it a little more comfy for Marcus. When I say the family, I mean the entire family. For although I mention John and Marcus a lot, Marcus’s brothers – Bradley, Jackson, Sam and Joshua – played pivotal roles in helping with the LTL. None of the brothers had ‘spare time’. If they were idle, they were helping out. It is a family business to the core. Home job First step on the LTL’s modification process was adding 1,200mm into the chassis. This would allow for the 63-inch (160cm) Unibilt sleeper (that John had found on Facebook) to be fitted. While that was being done it was also decided that the rear end would get replaced. Out went the Hendrickson walking beam and in went an airline system. The 3.9 diffs

were replaced with 3.73s. Not only did the new suspension improve the ride but it aided the fuel efficiency as well. All these changes were a hands-on job for John and Marcus. Yes, professionals were used for specialist roles, such as engineers and fabricators, but as a whole everything has been a home team operation. Take the aircon unit fitted to the Unibilt sleeper – it was obvious it was going to need one. Marcus spent far too much time in North Queensland to be without a decent night’s sleep. However, John saw no need to spend 10 or 15 grand getting one installed when he could take pride in building one himself. So that’s exactly what he did, running a diesel engine plumbed into the fuel tanks and even installing an alternator to recharge the batteries and help run the TV, fridge and travel buddy oven that Marcus and John had fitted to the sleeper. The truck also got a repaint, the gorgeous green really setting the rig off and now matching his dad’s LTS. A couple of months off the road and it was good to go. At almost 40-years-old, the big Ford has seen

more miles than we can count. Marcus himself has piled on over a million kilometres, covering everywhere from Cairns to Melbourne, Adelaide to Mt Isa. The biggest problem he finds is that, with all that time on the road, he tends to come up with new ideas and plans for his beloved LTL. “I tend to drive down the road and either get ideas from other trucks or just think, yeah, that might work,” Marcus admits. The thing is, despite having grown up in a family that relies on each other to handle and solve problems or create and follow through with ideas, when Marcus has a vision he sets about doing it himself. He’s not reliant on anyone. As a man that needs to re-read Lego instructions I sit in admiration at the likes of Marcus and his dad and their can-do attitude. However, there have been times Marcus admits even his mum has questioned him. “When I do a run out west and there’s kangaroos and wildlife and stuff I come back and have to fix or replace a lot of things,” Marcus says. “Mum said to me once: ‘Don’t you get sick of replacing the same old shit?’ Honestly, no I don’t.”

Solving problems, adding features, fitting extra lights – it’s not just a skill itself but a testament to Marcus’s attitude. At the start of our interview Marcus was worried that people won’t see the appeal of his truck. “I see it and treat it as a show truck ’cause it is a show truck to me,” Marcus exclaims. “But it still has a lot that needs doing.” The fact is he may be right. However, the truck stands as a testament to the good old Aussie trucking family. It oozes cool, it sounds wicked and it gets the job done. It supplies the family, and it relies on the family. If truck shows had a congeniality award, you wouldn’t find a truck with more personality or more charisma than this Ford LTL. In summary I just want to commend Betterway Transport, John and Belinda in particular, and Marcus’s approach to his truck and his humility around it. The way I saw the young fella interact with customers and his professionalism on the road is a testament to the old school trucking ways that the family holds onto. Old school values coupled with old school trucks; it’s a breath of fresh air.

The old LTL was a little different when Marcus first took a shine to it

There’s a smile in every mile for Marcus Post

The 5A-4OR machining centre

Tread softly A new machining centre from Hare & Forbes offers its users high performance with a small footprint The recently released Hartford 5A-40R – CNC five-axis machining centre fills a market need for a cost-effective five-sided machining centre that does not have significant aftereffects, the importer says. Developed by Hartford, which enjoys a reputation for producing high quality machines, this model provides five-sided machining capabilities for users who may not need the all the facilities of a full five-axis simultaneous vertical machining centre. The 5A-40R will appeal to users who are looking for value that is typical of a well-known manufacturer, combined with compact design, high specification control capability and backed up by local service and technical support. Engineering shops will be attracted to the ability of the 5A-40R to efficiently perform machining on five faces of the job in a single setup. Its capabilities are ideal for items such as hydraulic manifolds or valve blocks, as well as fast and accurate machining of complex and non-linear parts and components such as turbines, blades, helical forms and other intricate castings. High precision and rigidity is delivered through oversized THK linear guideways that have ultra-low friction for smooth axis movement. This C-frame machine features fourth and fifth axes in a one-piece design. The B and C axis utilises YRT bearings specifically selected for their high axial and radial load characteristics, whilst maintaining very high accuracy. A precise dual lead worm shaft and gear is designed to deliver a high degree of reliability and maintains accuracy for predictable results.

Hi Reach provides a range of high risk work training courses

Solutions found Booms and scissor lifts, mast climbers, swing stages and other working at height solutions: Queensland’s Hi Reach Rentals has a team dedicated to finding what you need Hi Reach Rentals has many different ways of getting workers off the ground to do their job, managing director Colin Fox says. “We don’t just provide scissor lifts or boom lifts – we deal with a wide range of specialised equipment, including aluminium scaffolding, swing stages, mast climbers, spider lifts and a full range of UK Nifty Lift equipment that enables people to undertake and complete their work effectively and efficiently.” Fox says it’s Hi Reach’s very experienced team that helps make the difference for clients who approach them for advice for various tasks. “Every salesperson on the Hi-Reach Team has got extensive knowledge of equipment, and we offer a service above and beyond to advise our client base on what is the best piece of equipment for a job,” he says. “We can recommend the most costeffective solution for our customers, rather than just saying ‘a boom lift should do it’, our toolchest is wide and vast. “We have a variety of equipment and solutions we can offer, and that is why I believe we are a cut above a lot of our competitors.” The Hi Reach team has also built solid working relationships with their clients, Fox says, noting that many of his staff have worked in the industry for many years and are seasoned problem solvers with excellent networker skills. “It has to be a win-win situation for our customers and us,” he says. “We are not a volume seller. I am not interested in high turnover-low margins. I want a smaller turnover and margins that

represent the service that we are offering to our customer base.” For Fox, it is all about the support that comes with the product, and the people within the Hi Reach team. Hi-Reach has a full-time staff of about 65 and bases on the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and Brisbane, which also encompasses The Hi-Reach training company, The Hi-Reach Group is also well known for its provision of service. Fox says about half the team are service technicians that maintain not only Hi-Reach Rentals’ extensive rental fleet, but also offer mechanical service and spare parts to its customer base and beyond. The Hi-Reach Training company provides a wide range of high risk training courses such as work platforms over 11 metres, fork lifts, working at heights, working in confined spaces and a number of nationally recognised courses such elevated work platform yellow card, manual handling, under bridge inspections and many more. “We are not a general hire business – we don’t hire to the general public,” Fox says. “Instead, we deal with the small familyowed building firms, contractors, subcontractors all the way through to the large Tier one builders. There wouldn’t be a Tier one builder in Australia that we haven’t dealt with.” Hi-Reach’s heartland is South East Queensland, but the group works all over Australia.

The JCB generators will range in power from 8kVA to 2,500kVA, available for sale Australia wide. These add to PR Power’s existing line-up of CPG Cummins, Powerlink Power Systems and Trime lighting tower products, all of which are manufacturers of world-renowned high-quality products. “PR Power deals with all areas requiring industrial size generators, so that can be from mining and gas fields, through to industry, construction, major infrastructure works, offices, production facilities, utilities, water suppliers, gas suppliers, electricity suppliers… the whole kit and kaboodle,” Corbett says. “Generally speaking… the existing JCB distribution channels tended to operate in markets different to what ours were – so from JCB’s point of view it’s a great way of making sure that they can optimise their distribution opportunities across a range of different market types.” For PR Power itself, Corbett adds that there will be a series of features offered by the JCB range, which will appeal to new and existing clients. “JCB bring that level of quality and consistency which the market is realising it needs more and more, particularly when you talk about something as important as generators,” he says.

“JCB have different engines for different sized generators. They’ve tried to optimise the best engines that they feel will be most effective for that sized unit.” Each of the generators is fitted with a Mecc Alte alternator and come with a Maux Excitation system, which Corbett says holds a series of benefits over the more common selfexcited excitation system. “They are available for all alternators, it just means you’ve got that those extra features that you may not necessarily know you’re going to need,” he says. “One of my little sayings is ‘electricity is never important until you don’t have it’, so if you are looking at putting in a generator, you may as well put one in that you know is going to operate when you need it, being either prime or standby.” Other benefits of the JCB range include improvements made to the recommended service intervals – with most JCB generators recommending between 400–500 hours, instead of the more common 250-hour interval. “Your long-term operating costs will also be reduced because you have half your service intervals for starters,” Corbett says. On top of this, units of 60kVA and above come with a built-in remote monitoring system as standard, allowing the operator to keep track of the unit’s servicing needs. PR Power offers servicing from its three distribution hubs in Queensland, Victoria and Western

Australia, with product backup and support across the country through various service networks. Corbett says he’s found that where the hubs are physically located is often less important to his clients than PR Power’s ability to provide servicing and support with spare parts. “All the branches run a 24/7 backup service and support number, so when you ring us, you will speak to a PR Power employee,” he says. “That is part of being a service solution provider, that if you have a problem and you ring up and speak to somebody it doesn’t go to a call centre, it doesn’t go to message bank – you speak to somebody from within the company who can get the problem solved.” PR Power offers a prime warranty for 12 months, and a standby warranty for 24 months, which customers can call JCB directly to handle, rather than requiring users to go to the effort of contacting a subcomponent manufacturer. One of the things that JCB does differently from other generator manufacturers is that warranty is handled directly through them. Corbett says that becoming a JCB Power Products dealer provides PR Power another option to best meet its customers’ needs. “That means we can look at tailoring the solutions to what the application will be and that can be from embedded generators, it can be a synchronising generator, it could be standalone… all those sorts of specific applications are what we tend to specialise in,” he says. “PR Power will always endeavour to provide the best equipment, expertise, and solutions for the power generation market. It could be as simple or as complicated as it needs to be, and we have got the inhouse engineering and expertise to be able to custom design and make the solution work further for each individual application.” For more information regarding JCB diesel generators you can contact PR Power by calling 1300 399 499 or via www.prpower.com.au

Playtime’s over.

People talk about being in the “building game” but it’s no game, it’s serious business. And you need a serious truck to handle bigger payloads. Isuzu Ready-to-Work trucks can carry around a tonne more than a typical ute, most only requiring a standard car licence. So if you’re ready to get serious, head to isuzu.com.au or visit your nearest Isuzu Truck Dealer now.

Warranty is subject to the conditions outlined in the IAL New Vehicle Warranty. For further information please visit isuzu.com.au or contact your local dealer. Features shown are available across Isuzu 4x2 Ready-to-Work models only. FSA/ISZS940
