TECHNONEWS * Australia - Safety-first approach to trucking

A new system takes the guesswork out of the safety of tanker drivers and their dangerous goods while they are on the road

Melbourne,Victoria,Australia -The Age, by Adam Turner -July 10, 2007: -- When truckies are hurtling along the highway in the middle of the night, hauling enough aviation fuel to launch the space shuttle, the last thing you want them worrying about is paperwork... By combining hand-held computing with satellite tracking, the Cootes Transport Group - Australia's largest carrier of dangerous goods - has eliminated paperwork for its drivers... Cootes' key clients include Shell, BP, Caltex, ExxonMobil, Elgas and Origin Energy, plus it also provides refuelling facilities at three of Australia's largest airports...
