The joint Australian Trucking Association (ATA) and Australian Road Transport Suppliers Association (ARTSA) Technical and Maintenance Conference 2016 (TMC) enters its 21st year to industry with its most comprehensive program yet.
The ATA released a new safety alert to highlight the availability of truck suspension seats with integrated belts.
The ATA has announced today the three finalists for the 2016 Craig Roseneder Award.
The award winner will be announced on Tuesday 25 October 2016 at the Castrol Vecton Awards Dinner, part of the 2016 Technical and Maintenance Conference in Melbourne.
The ATA today releases its new technical advisory procedure on slack adjuster setup and compliance to the National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual (NHVIM).
The Australian Trucking Association today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Melham will be leaving the ATA on 14 October to take up a new role in another leading industry association.
ATA Chair, Noelene Watson, thanked Mr Melham for his five years of service to the Australian trucking industry.
The ATA has today released its exclusive contract checklist, which aims to help trucking businesses ensure their contracts are fair and legal.
“Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a superior vehicle safety system that detects the stability and sideways acceleration of a heavy vehicle, and automatically activates to slow the vehicle down if it senses risk of a rollover. The Australian Government must mandate the use of ESC in new models of trucks and trailers as it is the key to reducing crashes and improving safety in the trucking industry.”
The Australian Government should confirm it will support a mandatory code covering payment terms for small trucking businesses, the CEO of the Australian Trucking Association, Christopher Melham, said today.
