@TransportforNSW big thanks for making Narrandera and Tarcutta testing sites 24hrs a day. So essential for heavy vehicle freight to be able to access service, we appreciate your support.
Big congrats Associated Feedlots in Mathoura for new loading ramp. #Safe 4 operators, separation from livestock, safety gates, catwalk. Cattle moved quietly & calmly and efficiently, great 4 #animalwelfare and productivity. Build them everywhere please.
Big thanks to Minister @BenCarrollMP and Peter Anderson and @VTAComms for giving Vic freight operators options for asymptomatic testing to meet other state border rules. This gives operators practical options to keep moving essential freight and reassurance to stay compliant.
Our members very concerned about inability to get asymptomatic COVID test in Vic, & if they can, must then isolate when tested in Vic. We support consistency but having regular tests in Vic not possible & creating stress that this means non-compliant. Work often short notice.
National Cabinet has endorsed the Freight Movement Code for the Domestic Border Controls – Freight Movement Protocol, which will commence as early as Wednesday 12/08, with each state & territory to implement individually by 17/08 at the latest.

Safety is paramount to keep our industry moving, congrats to @ProWay2000 on this easy retrofit to existing facilities that makes unloading so much safer, faster and keeps animals quiet and relaxed. Let's see them across Australia!
"What you're seeing here today is a first of it's kind piece of equipment that will hopefully have application on sites around Australia," Matthew Munro, Executive Director, @ALRTA_News.
Feasibility study success for #ProWayAUS #CratePAL.

We need more road funding for Wimmera, all across the rural/regional Vic network including bridges. It's a tough time but road projects mean jobs too; we need freight & ag produce delivered #safely. @BenCarrollMP @JaclynSymes @VicFarmers @farmer_dj mailtimes.com.au/story/68529…
Thanks to Alexander Darling and @Wim_Mail_Times for such a thorough, well written article. Great regional journalism of local issues.

@GladysB @DanielAndrewsMP Please help us resolve this new requirement of Vic freight operators tested and having written confirmation BEFORE they reach NSW border. Testing not available in Vic for those without symptoms. We want to keep the wheels turning and shelves full.

Thanks for responsible reporting, thankfully not a truck driver, but whole freight industry must be on notice and be responsible.
The source of the Crossroads Hotel outbreak has been determined to be a Melbourne man in the freight industry who attended a work party at the pub. bit.ly/2WknaFk
Condolences to the Scott family, friends and network.
Ray Scott, a name synonymous with Mt Gambier and the wider trucking industry, has passed away.

Thanks @ServiceNSW New border entry permit site seems to be working 👍Feedback re question where staying when in NSW. Truck drivers often sleep in truck, could it be tick box/option when applying? Actual location might change or be unmarked eg side of road/rest area @nswpolice
Very useful @journoandy26 👍
