2014 Cummins winner Naomi Milne said Trucking Australia was an exceptional opportunity to network and have your say.

“The trucking industry is more like a family that you want to have that once-a-year get together with. Trucking Australia facilitates this professionally with heaps of fun included,” she said.

“The program offered was interactive and structured, which allowed for views and sentiments to flow.  It was made truly memorable being able to see Directhaul win the John Kelly Award, whom I had been the HSE Senior Advisor for.”

At Trucking Australia 2015, everyone in the trucking industry is invited to contribute their views and help develop industry action plans through open forum sessions.

Attendees will also take part in an interactive workshop on fuel security, taking the role of government officials, fuel suppliers and trucking businesses to explore the implications of a fuel emergency and how businesses could respond to an unexpected interruption in fuel supply.

The competition winners will be contacted by phone and published in the ATA’s Friday Facts newsletter on Friday 27 February. For the full competition terms and conditions or more information, go to www.truckingaustralia.com.au.
