The Livestock and Rural Transporters Association of Queensland (LRTAQ) says it has met with Queensland transport ministers to discuss “inefficient and disruptive” type two road train restrictions.
After years spent dealing with the restrictions, LRTAQ says its representatives met with Queensland transport and main roads minister Brent Mickelberg and Gregory MP Sean Dillon to discuss improvements.

“Currently, drivers must break down their road trains, causing delays of up to three hours and disrupting local communities,” the LRTAQ says.
The LRTAQ says the meeting was successful, giving optimism for the restrictions being amended.
“But there’s hope! The government is listening and positive discussions are underway to improve access to the Emerald saleyards,” the association says.
“These changes aim to enhance safety, efficiency and reduce unnecessary delays for truck drivers.
“We’re optimistic that a solution is on the way!”
