TRUCKERS' SOLIDARITY * Australia

* New South Wales - Mercy hay-run trucks get welcome break at Parkes, Dubbo

-- A convoy of trucks delivering much-needed hay from Far South Coast NSW to drought stricken Queensland farmers has received a great reception along the way... The hay was picked up from generous farmers along the way, including from Cobargo farmers Aaron Salway and Daniel Allen, but also at Bredbo and Boorowa, making up four trailers loaded up with 60 tons of hay... Mr Reid and the four trucks should arrive at Ilfracombe in the hub of the affected area in Queensland, part of a record-breaking 150-truck armada, on Friday...

TRUCKERS' SOLIDARITY * Australia: To help drought-affected farmers

* Queensland - New hay run on


-- A bigger and better hay run to help drought-affected farmers in Central Queensland is being organised... Speaking to Big Rigs from Cobar, the Burrumbuttock Hay Runner himself, Brendan Farrell, took the time to tell Big Rigs about his latest venture.This hay run will see about 170 trucks and 250 trailers hopefully taking 10,000 rounds and squares of hay to about 500 farmers... He said the reason was saving lives and so that the next generation of farmers could stay on the land and be encouraged back to the land...

SOLIDARITY * USA: Leonard’s Express bring bottled water to Flint

* Connecticut - Farmington-based trucking company helps people of Flint, Michigan

-- When Leonard’s Express wsolidaas asked to help bring bottled water to Flint, Michigan, CEO Ken Johnson said the trucking company was glad to pitch in... Tens of thousands are suffering due to the lead-contamination crisis in Flint. The city's tap water is contaminated with lead because the city for 18 months used water from the Flint River without reducing corrosiveness. The water leached lead from old home plumbing. If consumed, lead can cause developmental delays and learning disabilities in children... The packaged water will be transported on one of Leonard’s big trucks — most likely a 53-foot semi tractor-trailer... The trip from the Rochester Foodlink site to the Michigan city is 480 miles and will likely be an overnight trip. If the driver has an enhanced license the trip may go through Canada; otherwise, it will go through Ohio and stay in the States...
