The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) embarked on an industry outreach program in Western Australia, when its Chair, Mark Parry, and CEO, Mathew Munro, recently travelled to Perth to meet with trucking operators.
Munro said that it was vitally important for the ATA to engage with trucking operators from all parts of Australia.
“As the old ABC documentary series reminded us every week, Australia is a big country. Road transport is the critical link that keeps freight moving between businesses and communities in our cities and regions, including transcontinental,” he said.
“Operating conditions vary markedly with differing freight profiles, distances, climatic conditions and regulations.
“Our visit to Western Australia was an opportunity to visit depots, inspect equipment and hear about operating challenges directly from people transporting freight locally, across the state or across the nation.
“Their insights and experience greatly assist the ATA as we work with our association members to represent the trucking industry at the national level or when providing our support on priority state issues.”
The operators who were visited by the ATA heads represented a wide cross-section of WA’s transport sector and included Montague Transport, Lange Transport, Ready Movers, Matic Group, Marleys Transport and ACFS Port Logistics.
The businesses are involved in agriculture, mining, specialist OSOM, furniture removals, storage, distribution and port operations.
