NSW based Macquarie Valley Transport and Queensland business Australian Heavy Logistics are finishing the year on a high note, having been accepted as the newest members of the TruckSafe industry safety accreditation program.

Australian Heavy Logistics specialises in providing heavy logistics services to the oil, gas and mining industries, as well as undertaking major project work throughout Australia.

Managing Director of Australian Heavy Logistics, Chris Miers said TruckSafe accreditation was the natural progression in their continued efforts to honour their core business values.

“Our specialist staff pride ourselves in our uncompromising dedication to safety, the highest quality equipment, accountability for our actions and service, and integrity in our dealings with all. TruckSafe provides us with guidance on how to improve our performance even further into the future.”

Kevin and Lea Munro, the owners of Macquarie Valley Transport, said they aimed to improve their productivity with the benefits of TruckSafe’s fleet management protocols.

“We’re a general carrier, and transport a lot of farm chemicals for the cotton industry,” Mrs Munro said.

“Joining TruckSafe is our way of moving outside the square and setting our business up to go further in the future.”

TruckSafe Chairman Stephen Marley said he was pleased to welcome the new members to TruckSafe, becoming some of Australia’s safest trucking operators.

 “TruckSafe is dedicated to assisting trucking operators to provide safe and professional service to their customers and the community at large,” he said.

“Joining TruckSafe is an action that benefits the operator, their staff and the community.  I’d like to congratulate Macquarie Valley Transport and Australian Heavy Logistics on welcoming 2013 as TruckSafe accredited members.”
