TRUCKING NEWS * Australia - Transport Awareness Day
Sydney,Australia -etruck, by palmygirl99 -January 20, 2010: -- The Australian Trucking Association have declared the week of February 20th to 27th to be Truckweek. The plan is to nationally co-ordinate activities to get the issues confronting the trucking industry in front of politicians and the general public in a concerted effort to raise our industry’s profile... At a time when the ATA was growing fast they mobilised trucking enthusiasts to organise a large number of events around the country and got the subject of trucking onto the lips of politicians and the media in many areas for a week... As with all of these kinds of events the initial impetus began to fade and the focus of the organisation moved elsewhere, but there were several years of a successful PR campaign for trucking... However, it is good to see the timing works well in Queensland, with the last day of Truckweek coinciding with one of the bigger events of its kind, the Lights on the Hill convoy on February 27th when hundreds of trucks roll into Gatton to commemorate truckies killed on our highways...
