Eligible vehicles up to 36.5 metres l...ong will include Modular B-Triples; B-Triples; AB-Triples and Type 1 Modern Road Trains. The NSW legally enforceable network maps will be updated to reflect this access is now approved.

21.01.2022 TRAFFIC ALERT - effective 19 March - August, 2020. [Source: RoadFreight RMS NSW. 13/03/20] Changed traffic conditions on Newell Highway near Finley... Motorists are advised of changed traffic conditions from next week on the Newell Highway, four kilometres south of Finley, while construction of a new southbound overtaking lane takes place. Work involves new temporary line marking to reduce the width of the northbound and southbound lanes to 3.2 metres, closure of road shoulders and installation of concrete safety barriers. Lane reductions and shoulder closures will be in place from Thursday 19 March until August 2020 when the new lane is expected to be completed, weather permitting. Heavy vehicle drivers are advised signs and wide load bays will be located at both ends of the construction area. Lanes measure 3.2 metres with 0.5 metre road shoulders in both direction. Vehicles over four metres wide use wide load bays provided and follow advice on signage. For the safety of workers and motorists, reduced speed limits will be in place during work hours from 7am to 6pm weekdays and 7am to 5pm Saturdays, and a reduced speed limit of 80 km/h will be in place after hours, which may affect travel times. Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control. Transport for NSW thanks the community for its patience while work is carried out.

18.01.2022 Truck drivers should be routinely tested for SLEEP APNOEA There have been several studies that show having sleep apnoea can multiply the risk of motor vehicle accidents (2-7 times more likely). It is for this reason the licensing authorities want to know about sleep apnoea.... Sleep apnoea affects people differently. VicRoads states: "Each driver is reviewed individually to determine the outcome that is best for the safety of the individual and the community." If you have sleep apnoea and are sleepy behind the wheel, then yes, you should do something about it, for your own and others safety. Our experience suggests that the overall clinical picture is taken into account and that a diagnosis of sleep apnoea alone is not enough for your licence to be revoked. If you think you have Sleep Apnoea and you believe it is affecting your performance on the road, please talk to your GP or Specialist about it.

They are now using a simple questionnaire and if they require further information or evidence of safety compliance theyll request it. Well done Boral we need more like you."

11.01.2022 REDUCE AUDITS, IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY [16/9/19 - Australian Trucking Association] Reduced audits and independent accreditation are critical to improving trucking safety and productivity, Chair of the Australian Trucking Association (ATA), Geoff Crouch, said today. The ATA and its member associations collectively represent the 50,000 businesses and 200,000 people in the Australian trucking industry. Together, we are committed to safety, professionalism and viability. ... In his opening address today at the Australian Trucking Association and Australian Logistics Council Supply Chain Safety Summit in Sydney, Mr Crouch emphasised the need for law reform to address duplication and unnecessary complication surrounding compliance audits. The Australian trucking industry has come a long way since the Heavy Vehicle National Law was introduced, but we cannot rest on our laurels, Mr Crouch said. There are still problems within the law, which is why we called for a review. It has failed to increase our industrys productivity and failed to address the growing number of customer audits that trucking businesses are required to undertake. Mr Crouch said the audits are costly, time-consuming, generally cover the same ground and are of little legal value. The ATAs vision for the new heavy vehicle law includes a separate, voluntary, safety-based system for operators that need even more flexibility. We want to see the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator regulate accreditation scheme providers, not run one, Mr Crouch said. This would improve productivity and provide greater benefit to operators by reducing the need for multiple scheme and customer audits. Most importantly, it would be a big step improving safety outcomes, he said. Mr Crouch said he looked forward to discussion during the Summit about the other barriers to streamlining compliance audits. This is about ensuring a safer industry, reducing audits, stronger regulation and competitive neutrality there has never been a better time for transformational change in how we improve safety, he said.
