Shell Card’s got you covered Whether it’s buying fuel, tracking receipts or finding a service station configured with trucks in mind, Shell Card is there for Australian truck drivers Fyshwick, Gilgandra, Waterloo, Cossack, Goomeri, Rocklea, Bordertown, Richmond, Burnie, Moolap, Altona North, Margaret River and Middle Swan.

Whatever town, state, territory or capital city you happen to be visiting in our great wide land, Shell Card Australia’s Network of nearly 1300 service stations are there to support truck drivers to work as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Designed to cater for the needs of truckies Shell’s Truck Network of service stations include a dedicated forecourt for heavy vehicles, high flow diesel pumps, and an increasing number of extra services such as a driver’s lounge, hot meals, bathroom and laundry facilities.

The network also includes an online and interactive tool in the form of the Shell Truck Atlas specifically designed to make it simple for drivers to find the closest services and fuel they need where-ever their journey takes them.

The atlas can be found at the Viva Energy website. See: https://www. shell.com.au/motorists/truck-atlas. html.

And for Shell Card members, the good news just keeps on flowing.

Through its national supply chain, Shell can arrange to deliver diesel

fuel in bulk to operator’s depots with competitively priced options tailored to meet business needs.

Shell Card members also have the benefits of: • No more paper receipts, lost dockets and end of month reconciling.

• A simple to use online portal that offers complete 24/7 control.

• A single Tax Invoice and Statement itemising the GST for fuel purchases.

• Anti-fraud technology and individual PIN numbers.

• Cards that can be embossed with a vehicle number or a driver’s name.

• Flexible payment options giving greater control over cash flow.

• Low monthly card fees of only $2.50 per card.

• Flybuys points at any Shell Coles Express site that can be redeemed for a range of rewards.

• High quality fuel, backed by more than 100 years of technological expertise, including Shell Diesel.

• A Shell Card that can be used in over 1,340+ locations across Australia and is one of the fastest growing networks in the country.

The popularity and success of the

Shell Card program was recognised recently when it took out the ‘Most Satisfied Customers Award – Small Business Fuel Cards, 2023’ after a Canstar survey of more than 450 small business owners and key decision makers put it at number one.

Shell Card has worked hard over the last few years to ensure it has a market leading product that has become such a critical and practical tool for small businesses.

One of these key enhancements is a dedicated Australia-based call centre, providing quality customer support and assistance 24/7.

Shell Card has also launched a new and improved customer Portal, giving account managers more control over their fuel management.

THE TEAM

ches out BranWITH ISUZU Sam Docker with Treesafe's newest truck

The Isuzu's size has helped to reduce trips to the tip

With 20,000 kilometres under its belt the newest truck in the Treesafe Environmental Services’ fleet in Queensland is proving its worth every day After 17 years in the business of maintaining and removing trees for homeowners and schools around South East Queensland, Treesafe Environmental Services knows what it needs in a truck.

When the business’ director Sam Docker went looking for a bigger option for his business in 2022 he settled on an Isuzu FXZ

240-350 6x4 due to its size and ability to haul a FWR Tandem Axle Tag Trailer.

The FXZ 240-350 is also equipped with Isuzu’s 6UZ1-TCC engine with 257 kW (350PS) @ 2,000 rpm and 1,422 Nm of torque @ 1,400 rpm.

It’s configuration is perfect for pulling loads of tree and plant matter it’s been set up handle the most arduous of towing jobs, which often includes Treesafe’s nine-tonne Morbark woodchipper.

“We specialise in tree maintenance, tree removal and pruning, and our business approach is similar to a commercial set up, but our clients are the ‘mums and dads' market, so doing arboriculture work on folk's properties, keeping their homes safe,” Docker says.

“We also do medium-scale land clearing, and workplace health and safety compliance for trees and plants on school grounds.”

The new truck joins another Isuzu in the fleet, an FVR purchased in 2007 from Blake Montgomery at Sutton Motors Arncliffe.

“The FVR has really put in the hard yards, we still use it every day,” he says.

13/10/2023 10:26 am

DEALS Showcase

“But depending on the size of the job, the team can be allocated between one to four jobs per day, so having the ability to load up with a bigger truck makes the day that more efficient.

“The FXZ was bought to tow capital equipment for us; we even had the gearbox specifically recalibrated by the dealership.

“We specified the model with the bogey axle so we could tow our new eight-tonne excavator and also load a five-tonne excavator on it as well.”

Sam said the newest edition to Treesafe’s fleet is admirably fit for purpose, having travelled over 20,000 kilometres since being collected from Suttons Motors in August 2022, supporting the team for jobs six days a week.

“The team will be at the depot early in the morning, they'll set the gear up and then they'll drive to the first job site… the days are always packed with carrying out tree maintenance and arboriculture work.

“My drivers appreciate the addition of the FXZ truck and say the ride is very smooth considering the power behind it.

“We’re also pleased that to find it's got good fuel consumption and overall, it's a costeffective truck to run.”

On the service side, Docker uses Brisbane Isuzu at Archerfield.

“We always get our trucks serviced with Brisbane Isuzu and a big plus point for us is being able to access 24-hour servicing,” he says.

“Being on the road six days a week, we can't afford downtime, so Brisbane Isuzu services our trucks overnight.

“Planning our services in advance is critical to the smooth running of the business as our jobs are booked out in advance by two or three months, minimum.”

Keen on Kenworth When it comes to brand loyalty truck driver Simon Russell is clear where his heart is set as our writer Alex Catalano found out You won’t find a bigger Kenworth fan than livestock transport worker Simon Russell.

Take a look through his shed, and you’ll find a gold mine of memorabilia and merchandise. Some may not see the value in it, but to him, it’s more than special.

Stickers, plaques, glasses, keychains, posters – you name it, and Russell probably has it.

The driving lifestyle was always in the blood for Russell. Passed down from generation to generation, he’s doing the family name proud.

Now, he’s getting to live out his dream driving a 2021 Kenworth T659 for Trans Australian Livestock and Freight Management, where he’s been since May last year.

“I’ve run all over New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, down in

The T659 Kenworth Simon Russell loves to drive each day for Trans Australian Livestock and Freight Management

Western and South Australia as well, mainly carting sheep and lambs back to Tamworth,” Russell tells ATN. “I tow a set of 4x2 convertible sheep crates. It’s a good truck.

“This truck had 185,000km on it when I got it. It rides beautiful, plenty of room in it, great vision out of it, can’t fault that.

“Ideal for going through Melbourne, ideal truck for the city. It’s got 400,000km on it now, I can’t fault it at all.”

There’s plenty of love in Russell’s voice when he talks about his Kenworth. It’s what he describes as his “pride and joy”.

He’s driven three other trucks before on other jobs, a Western Star, a Kenworth T659 also carrying sheep deliveries, and a K104 cabover Kenworth.

“The K104 was where it all kicked off, 2019 was where I started carting livestock,” Russell says.

“Before that I’d wash trucks and trays and I’d done a little bit of casual truck driving for other companies in the Hunter Valley.

“I do take a lot of pride in what I’m driving now. When I get the chance, every weekend, I’ll wash it.

“I actually went to Kenworth and bought a drum of their Kenworth Wash and Wax, and it’s unbelievable.

“The best detergent or soap I’ve used on a truck. On the chrome I use Autosol polish.”

Growing up around farms and trucks, and the wide range of equipment that comes with it all, carting sheep around always seemed like a natural fit.

Some of Russell’s fondest memories growing up, and what sparked his Kenworth obsession, were with his old man, riding along on jobs and

living out his wildest fantasies.

“I’m third generation, my grandfather had trucks and farm machinery and my father was a truck driver for more than 30 years, on and off working for different companies,” Russell says.

“It’s come from dad. As a young fella I was in the truck with him when I wasn’t at school, on holidays and weekends.”

Being on the farm was where the love for animals comes from, Russell explains.

“I love working with sheep, I’m passionate about my sheep,” he says.

“I’ve got a couple of dogs that help with loading and unloading.”

The trucking lifestyle is a busy one, and at times a strenuous one, but the love for it all keeps Russell going on the long drives.

He makes a habit out of getting down to the Kenworth Klassic at the Clarendon Classic Truck Show, but he

had to miss it this year due to being on a job.

Russell is loving the opportunity he has to travel all across Australia to get to see all kinds of sights and sounds in his Kenworth.

“What I enjoy the most is just going to different places, talking to the farmers about their operations,” he says.

“You get to see different places that you’d never think you would see. We’re going to Longreach in Queensland, I love western Queensland up there. The people are great.”

And when it comes to a dream truck, Russell knows exactly what he’s after. Kenworth will always be number one.

“Probably a SAR Legend… I do like the old SARs,” he laughs.

“The T659 is my favourite though.

If I had the chance, I’d own it. They’re just a great truck.”

DAF truck earns Drivers Choice award

DAF XF proves once again outstanding efficiency and comfort

The XF 450 earned the major vehicle manufacturer the highly renowned top prize for truck performance It was voted as the best truck of the year by the readers, comprised of owners, operators and drivers, earning the ‘Drivers Choice’ award.

Voters said that the XF outperformed its competition due to its low operating costs. It had been previously voted the ‘International Truck of the Year’ in 2022.

The European Truck Challenge 2023 (ETC) gave drivers the chance to test drive the vehicle, along with many other well-esteemed trucks.

Truck & Trailer Welt editor-inchief Philipp Bonders congratulates the company on earning the award.

“Throughout the European Truck Challenge 2023, one tractor unit in particular consistently impressed the ETC test drivers: the New Generation DAF XF 450,” he says.

“In the test, no other cab offered more comfort, better equipment or a more attractive design. The DAF

XF 450 was duly rewarded with the highest score in the driver rankings, resulting in the ETC Drivers Choice award for 2023.”

Truck & Trailer Welt editor HansJürgen Wildhage was one of the people who got the chance to drive the truck in testing, and holds plenty of praise for the vehicle.

“In addition, with the current fuel prices, the DAF XF 450 proved to be the most cost-efficient truck thanks to its very low combined fuel and AdBlue consumption,” he says.

“The smoothness the DAF XF 450 displayed while driving over the demanding ETC test route, including the mountain roads, was also impressive.

“I particularly liked the smooth running of the engine. And when it comes to fuel consumption when rolling on individual sections of the comparison test route, the

Dutchman is clearly ahead of the competition.”

DAF board member Bart Bosmans graciously accepted the award and thanks the voters for nominating the XF. “We are extremely honoured to have received both the ‘Drivers Choice’ award and recognition for the lowest operating costs,” he says.

“Together with the XD, XG and XG+ series, the New Generation XF embodies both the driver’s dream and the owner’s delight.

“The cab is spacious, luxurious and comfortable and offers an unprecedented direct view, resulting in the best working space for any driver. In addition, the trucks run at the lowest operating costs.”

The Scania 420 R with a Superbased powertrain also won an award as the most fuel-efficient truck in the ETC.

Ryde trials the Mighty Electric The City of Ryde recently trialled the Hyundai electric truck and is ready to reveal its results New South Wales’ City of Ryde recently took delivery of a brandnew Hyundai Mighty Electric truck for a three-day trial that furthers the council’s commitment towards becoming net zero-emissions by 2035.

The light-duty 7.3-tonne truck, which delivers high performance and zero tailpipe emissions, was delivered to Council’s Meadowbank Operations Centre and was put through its paces by a number of drivers, including City of Ryde Mayor Sarkis Yedelian.

With an estimated working AER (All Electric Range) of up to 200km when fully loaded, fully charged and with the air conditioning running the truck can be recharged from 8 per cent to 100 per cent in just 71 minutes when connected to an 800V ultra-rapid (DC) charger.

Council is currently developing an implementation strategy for the electrification of the entire light vehicle fleet, which will assist in achieving the net zero-emissions target of 2035 (or sooner) for council operational emissions and 2040 (or sooner) for community emissions.

Yedelian says the Mighty Electric truck is an exciting glimpse into the future.

“It was great to meet Hyundai Australia’s chief operating officer John Kett, director of sales Gavin Donaldson, and senior commercial manager Shahab Anwar and I was even able to enjoy a test drive of this futuristic vehicle,” he says.

“The fact that Hyundai is proud to have its Australian headquarters in our booming Macquarie Park innovation district makes this collaboration even sweeter.”

Hyundai’s John Kett says he’s impressed with City of Ryde’s commitment to net zero-emissions.

“We are excited about City of Ryde’s trial of our Mighty Electric truck as part of Council’s ongoing transition to zero-emissions transportation,” he says.

“Headquartered as we are at Macquarie Park, Hyundai Motor Company Australia is here to fully support the City of Ryde’s decarbonisation efforts and we salute their progressive thinking and broad-based commitment to tackling climate change.

“We trust the Mighty Electric will meet all of the City of Ryde’s needs and we look forward to collaborating in further trials of Hyundai zero emissions truck variants as they come to market.”

Order breaks eCanter record

The new Fuso eCanter has attracted a massive order in Japan

A popular Japanese trucking operator has ordered a record-breaking number of new Fuso eCanters to commit to sustainability goals Popular truck brand Daimler has announced today that its subsidiary, Mitsubishi Fuso, will deliver around 900 eCanter units to Yamato Transport based in Tokyo, Japan, as part of the world-first introduction of the new eCanter.

In the largest ever order of the eCanter model to date, deliveries have already begun.

The eCanter was first launched

by Fuso in 2017 as Japan’s first mass-produced electric light-duty truck. Since the launch of the firstgeneration model six years ago, the eCanter has grown globally, with the advantage of having no emissions and little vibration or noise a critical part of its success.

Yamato Transport first introduced 25 models of the first eCanter in 2017 and has now decided to invest in the new generation of the eCanter.

Yamato Group has decided to make the historic investment in

the eCanter to achieve a 48 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, followed by virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

This round of eCanters delivered to Yamato Transport include a standard cab, S-battery van vehicle with three compartments for dry, refrigerated and frozen functions.

The narrower standard cabs added to the new models make it more manoeuvrable to suit urban deliveries, while the charging port is mounted at the rear of the vehicle for easy daily charging and loading or unloading of cargo.

It’s the company’s first introduction of a two-tonne class EV truck.

Yamato will use FUSO Green Lease, a lease product exclusive to the new eCanter, to cover everything involved with the new fleet of trucks.

“The introduction of EVs is one of the most important initiatives

to promote our sustainable management. In introducing EVs, it is important that they’re easy to use for employees as well as environmentally friendly with good performance,” Yamato Transport president Yutaka Nagao says.

“We will continue to promote our efforts to realise a sustainable society in cooperation with our partners and the local community.”

Mitsubishi Fuso president and CEO Karl Deppen says the eCanter reduces the burden on drivers through its safe, low vibration driving without emissions.

“This was highly evaluated by Yamato Transport, who previously introduced 25 of the first generation eCanter back in 2017,” Deppen says.

“We’re honoured to support Yamato in continuing their efforts to go carbon neutral as they deploy our EV trucks throughout Japan.”

Going solo Mining trucks could become the unmanned drones of the land if Volvo’s removal of the safety driver from an active commercial mining operation in Norway proves viable Taking the human element out of the safety equation in a limestone mine in Norway is breaking new ground on the automation of the on mine transportation task.

Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) have provided seven fully autonomous Volvo FH trucks to mining business Brönnöy Kalk for use in tough conditions at their limestone mine in Velfjord.

The trucks operate in challenging conditions that include steep inclines, extreme weather and long stretches of dark tunnels, dragging limestone from the mine to the crusher.

“A long-held vision is now a

reality. Removing the safety driver in an active commercial transport operation in some of the world’s most challenging conditions is a major leap for the industry,” says Nils Jaeger, president of Volvo Autonomous Solutions.

“With this milestone we are underlining our leadership in autonomous driving and paving the way for safer and more efficient future for the mining and quarrying industries.”

Brönnöy Kalk’s managing director Raymond Langfjord says the move to greater automation is a big step forward for the business.

“We implemented autonomous

trucks for several reasons — safety, efficiency and flexibility.

“With the removal of the safety driver we can now truly reap these benefits and increase our competitiveness in this tough industry.”

Work on the project started in 2018 with a business model that allows companies such as Brönnöy Kalk to buy autonomous capacity from V.A.S. rather than buying a truck or a machine.

V.A.S. head of solutions for mining and quarry, Sven-Erik Gustafsson, says the business model makes it more attractive for customers to try the technology.

“While autonomy brings unprecedented benefits to the industry, incorporating new technologies into existing operations can be a daunting challenge for many customers.

“By providing a complete solution that encompasses everything from software to site infrastructure to training to operations, we are able to reduce complexity for customers like Brönnöy Kalk and enable them to be a part of the autonomous future.”

The seven Volvo FH Trucks are operated by a V.A.S. in-house developed virtual driver to operate over a five-kilometre path with the wheel loader operator using a touch screen in the wheel loader to call the trucks for loading and to manage the operation.

Hundred for Hartwigs Penske dealer Hartwigs has raised a remarkable milestone and is continuing to serve local Australian customers Long-standing Penske Australia dealer, Hartwigs, is celebrating 100 years serving south-central NSW, ACT, and northern Victoria truck customers.

Dealer principal Charlie Hartwig says the 100-year milestone for the family business was a testament to his team’s genuine relationships with customers and exceptional products.

“Since my great-great-grandfather first started our business in 1923, the team at Hartwigs has invested time and energy into our customer relationships, obtaining a deep understanding of customer requirements,” he says.

Craig Lee, executive general

manager of on-highway at Penske Australia says: “We’ve worked closely with the Hartwig family and team over decades and witnessed first-hand their dedication to customers, ensuring the perfect solution each time.”

“It’s no surprise that the team at Hartwigs has achieved this.”

Representing the Western Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus, Dennis Eagle, and Detroit brands, the diesel engine dealer has loyally served customers in Queanbeyan and Shepparton, with their sights set on expansion.

“Over the last year, we’ve launched all-new truck platforms

T The Hartwigs’ team have at least 100 reasons to celebrate

across Western Star and MAN, so our relationship with our dealer network is more critical than ever as customers experience and understand our new product portfolio,” Lee says.

“To this end, we are expanding Hartwigs’ coverage into the Orana and Riverina regions of NSW and the Sunraysia region of Victoria.”

Hartwigs says it is “incredibly proud” to be in this position and is looking forward to growing its services over the next 100 years.

“We are confident that customers will continue to receive exceptional support from the team at Hartwigs, and here’s to the next 100 years,” Lee says.

Inside new Scania Smart Dash Scania has unveiled its new digital dashboard Smart Dash that has a wide range of new benefits for drivers Heavy vehicle maker Scania has unveiled a new digital dashboard Smart Dash that it says is opening the way to smarter, safer and better truck driving experiences for all kinds of drivers.

Its modular build and latest digital solutions ensure that Scania trucks offer a secure, connected and comforting atmosphere behind the wheel.

Scania says its drivers will have excellent control over their truck and surroundings, receiving discreet nudges from their smart truck companion whenever a hazard is anticipated or an action is requested.

“Apart from great overview and endless opportunities to individualise the driver station, our Smart Dash is also the leverage for increased communication and digitalisation in and around the truck,” Scania Trucks head and senior vice president Stefan Dorski says.

“Scania trucks can now be closely integrated with everything from the fleet management system to the actual driving environment and an array of cloud-based services for improved safety, uptime and productivity.”

Dorski says the Smart Dash is the latest jigsaw piece in Scania’s

The 2023 model Scania Smart Dash

quest for transforming the transport industry, making it smart and sustainable.

The brand says there are limitless opportunities to individualise the driving experience while always having the latest data and information available.

Scania says its Smart Dash represents the latest advance in human and machine interface solutions for driver stations in heavy trucks. The driver chooses which information to display or omit and the whole set-up is made for being intuitive and user-friendly with a smart mix of physical and digital controls that offers overview and peace of mind, without cognitive overload.

The cab and dash of the 1974 Scania LB 111

The Smart Dash driver station always includes two displays: the Driver Display in front of the driver and the Centre Information Display (a touch screen that is available in two sizes - 10’1 or 12’9 inches). The driver can give input via the touch screen, by pushing buttons or by voice steering.

Scania has settled for a balanced mix between physical and digital controls, steering away from the common mistake of hiding vital functions one or two levels down in a menu.

“The most well-used functions should of course be readily available,” Scania Trucks product manager Eduardo Landeo says.

“It is all about offering the drivers the best possible experience and making sure that new technology always supports the drivers rather than annoying them or bringing cognitive overload. Or even, in the worst-case scenarios, create situations where their focus wanders from the road and direct vision to adjust basic things such as the interior temperature.”

Scania’s latest truck generation

offers many safety functions as standard when sold on European markets. Other functions are optional and actually go beyond the legal minimum standards.

One example is Scania’s Advanced Emergency Braking for Vulnerable Road Users (AEB VRU); instead of just warning that there is a pedestrian in front of the truck, the vehicle also does the actual braking when necessary.

“With this introduction, we open

up a digital and connected spectrum that will benefit drivers as well as fleet owners and fleet managers,” Landeo says.

“Smart and safe trucks will bring increased productivity, fewer accidents and safer drivers. The driver will experience that theirs working tool really supports them, providing everything from information about the truck itself and possible hazards to general guidance and their favourite pods with crystalclear sound.”

“No matter how experienced or careful a driver is, with all the time they spend on the roads there will always come a day when he or she is eternally grateful for the alert from one of the warning systems.”

Power players battery deal Three popular heavy vehicle manufacturers have combined in the United States to advance battery cell production A new global joint venture has been announced combining three major players of the heavy vehicle industry to advance battery cell production in the US. The new zero-emissions business unit Accelera sees Cummins, Daimler Truck and PACCAR combine to accelerate and localise battery cell production and the battery supply chain in the US. The new joint venture (JV) will manufacture battery cells for electric commercial vehicles and industrial applications, with total investment expected to be between two and three million dollars for the 21-GWh factory.

Accelera by Cummins, Daimler Truck and PACCAR will each own 30 per cent of, and jointly control, the joint venture, which will initially focus on the lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery technology family for commercial battery-electric trucks.

The LFP battery cells produced by the joint venture will be able to offer several advantages compared to other battery chemistries, including lower cost, longer life and enhanced safety, without the need for nickel

and cobalt raw materials.

Accelera by Cummins, Daimler Truck and PACCAR expect to see growing demand for battery technology throughout this decade and US customers will benefit from a state-of-the-art dedicated battery cell factory.

EVE Energy will serve as the technology partner in the joint venture with 10 per cent ownership and will contribute its industryleading battery cell design and manufacturing know-how.

This strategic joint venture enables its owners to create the necessary scale for access to cost effective and differentiated battery cell technology, ultimately creating value for commercial vehicle customers in North America.

“We have the responsibility to decarbonise in a way that is best for all of our stakeholders and the planet. This requires working closely with key partners,” Cummins chair and CEO Jennifer Rumsey says.

“This announcement reflects that action. Not only are we advancing a key technology solution for our

customers, but accelerating the energy transition in the United States.”

PACCAR CEO Preston Feight says: “Our vision is the highest quality, locally produced battery technology to enhance the operations of our customers and help them achieve their operational and environmental goals.”

Daimler Truck CEO Martin Daum says partnerships and a focus on costs and smart capital allocation are key levers for the company’s success when it comes to sustainable transport.

“This planned joint venture enables economies of scale beyond Daimler Truck. It is a key puzzle piece of our battery industrialisation strategy, ensuring access to the right battery cell technology at the right cost,” Daum says.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and receipt of applicable merger control and regulatory approvals including the submission of a voluntary notice to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

Dr Adele Lausberg

HVIA goes green HVIA’s appoints a new chief advocacy officer Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) has appointed Dr Adele Lausberg as its new chief advocacy officer.

Working alongside Greg Forbes and chief technical officer Adam Ritzinger, the team will initially focus on developing a set of priorities to support the transition to zero emission vehicles, Australian manufacturing sovereignty and workforce development.

With ample experience in policy management, Todd Hacking, HVIA’s CEO, says HVIA is excited to have her on board.

“Adele is a proven performer for membership associations having previously worked with the Property Council of Australia, Tourism Accommodation Australia and the Australian Medical Association,” he says.

She will work to develop proactive policy positions to support the industry and will then set about affecting change by influencing government decision makers and stakeholders.

“She particularly relishes when given the chance to engage members, develop a common position and then articulate the importance of that vision to decision makers,” Hacking says.

“Her PhD thesis was based around the decision-making structures and processes within the Federal Parliament.

“There is no shortage of issues facing the heavy vehicle industry, and to have a policy professional of Adele’s calibre is a boon for HVIA and the broader industry.”

Tassie focus for NTRO NTRO’s new state business leader says she is excited to bring a new approach to problem solving in Tasmania National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) has appointed Vibeke Matthews as the new state business leader of Tasmania.

Bringing a wealth of experience in mobility technology, decarbonisation and sustainability, Matthews plans to work with different stakeholders to build upon Tasmania’s mantra of being an environmentally sustainable state.

“Tasmanians have a strong environmental conscious, and with NTRO being at the leading edge with the National Material Science Laboratory in Melbourne and our strong knowledge in the use of sustainable materials, I hope to work in collaboration with councils, the government and industries to continue Tasmania’s passion to be green and sustainable,” Matthews says.

Having recently moved to Tasmania after spending more than

“I am confident that Vibeke will transform the NTRO offering and bring a relevant and excitingly new approach to problem solving in the infrastructure space for Tasmania,” he says.

“Across the road, rail, ports and airport fields Vibeke will be the key point of contact for the suite of NTRO services.”

Executive moves Marc Jacobsen is the newly appointed chief financial officer at CouriersPlease

New CFO for CouriersPlease CouriersPlease has revealed its latest CFO, who comes from Australia Post CouriersPlease has announced the appointment of Marc Jacobson as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Jacobson joins the senior leadership team working to achieve continued growth in the E-Commerce space and cement CouriersPlease’s reputation as an Australian leading courier and freight service.

Prior to CouriersPlease, Jacobson spent eight years at Australia Post, where h e oversaw the growth of the business’ six-billion-dollar operational network and helped establish its Parcels Division.

During his time at Australia Post, Jacobson was instrumental in the development of more than 10 new parcel sites during the industry’s E-Commerce boom.

Prior to this position, he worked with some of Australia’s leading businesses including Wesfarmers Industrial & Safety, Best & Less, KPMG and E&Y, and is a Chartered Accountant and holds a Masters of Applied Finance.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Marc to the team. His impressive track-record overseeing business growth is a huge win for us, but it is his tenacious attitude and innovative thinking that will help CouriersPlease on

its trajectory in being the fastest growing parcel and courier service in Australia,” CouriersPlease CEO Richard Thame says.

“Marc also has a keen interest in the customer experience, having worked in Best & Less’s commercial division, so he understands retailers and the external pressures they face.

I’m looking forward to working with

Marc and utilising his keen expertise to unlock new areas of growth.”

Jacobson says it’s a privilege to be joining CouriersPlease at such an exciting time for the company and the industry.

“Although there are economic headwinds that need to be managed, E-Commerce continues to grow at a faster rate than bricks and mortar and CouriersPlease is in the best position to take advantage of this growth,” Jacobson says.

“Considering UK E-Commerce sales make up around a third of total retail sales, and Australia is currently sitting at around 20 per cent, we know that there is a considerable area of room for growth.

“With a superb team of staff and a network of hardworking Franchise Partners, I have no doubt that this can be achieved.”

Diagnostics: Open Road Finding truck drivers continues to be a big challenge for the industry

Make drivers a priority Skills classification re-vamp can’t come quick enough as we struggle to find drivers Somebody I know went into “secret shopper” mode last week to explore the state of Australia’s truck driver shortage.

“Secret shopper” is a strategy routinely adopted by businesses testing their own services to see if they are “customer friendly”.

They send an undercover employee to the aisles of a Bunnings or Myer to find out what shoppers experience.

In this instance, the exercise involved poking around the Federal Government’s skills classification website www. jobsandskills.gov.au where various occupations are given a skills classification.

It’s important because the skills level given to an occupation determines their priority in the immigration queue when a driver applies for a visa to come and work here.

The bad news was that the website was broken.

Its search engine didn’t even bring up Truck Driving as an occupation.

Manually moving through the site, the secret shopper reached page 73 before a message appeared on the screen saying: “The website encountered an unexpected error.

Please try again later”.

In the scheme of things, a government website not doing what it should on a given day isn’t the world’s biggest problem.

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

But our system for finding drivers to deliver on the freight task needs urgent repair.

It’s not just drivers that are in short supply.

We don’t have enough heavy diesel mechanics and technicians or supervisors and managers with the expertise to support our industry.

The problem is acute in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

The road transport industry put these issues on the table for the newly-minted Albanese Government at its pre-Jobs Summit round table in September 2022.

It was suggested that the Government redesignate truck driving as skill level 3 under the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) rather than the current skill level 4.

The Government was asked to add truck driving to the Australian Apprenticeship Priority List (which determines eligibility for training support payments) and the Trade Support Loans Priority List.

And it was asked to add truck driving to the skilled migration visa system, provided that applicants migrating to Australia undertake driver training here and hold an Australian driving licence of the required class.

All of this has been caught up in a broader review of the Australian Immigration System, which took a year, received almost 500 written submissions and produced a 190page report which was delivered in March this year.

The report doesn’t mention truck driving and is more concerned with the bigger picture.

There are broader issues at play and they demand a whole-ofindustry approach.

NatRoad is not alone in saying the existing heavy vehicle driver licensing system is not up to scratch.

Drivers can obtain a licence without the competencies that employers need.

They can move from one licence class to the next without gaining experience behind the wheel.

If they’re arriving from overseas, there’s no national standard of competencies for them to prove that they meet.

Women are grossly underrepresented in road transport and a big reason why is that they don’t feel comfortable with the current standard of roadside rest stop facilities.

And at the risk of repeating myself, the mindset behind enforcement of Heavy Vehicle National Law needs to change from one of penalising drivers for minor breaches for the hell of it, rather than being driven by safety.

That last one is pushing people out of our industry at a time when we can least afford to lose them.

The driver shortage is a global problem but that doesn’t mean we should sit back and wait for somebody somewhere else to solve it.

This is enough of an issue to require a summit of industry and government in the interests of our national economy.

All roads lead to Castlemaine Truck lovers around the country are counting down to the 2023 HHA & Larsen’s Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show in November Hit the Midland Highway out of Melbourne and head north-northwest for 120km and you’ll land in the regional country town of Castlemaine.

Make the journey at the end of November and you can expect to find the streets packed to the rafters with trucks and members of Australia’s trucking community as they gear up to celebrate one of the country’s premier regional truck shows for the 35th time.

The weekend of November 25 and 26 has been set aside for the 2023 HHA & Larsen’s Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show and it’s sure to be a big one.

In the wake of the COVID closures of the past few years, both Alexandra Truck Show (in Victoria) and Casino Truck Show (in NSW) clocked up record

numbers of entrants from a trucking community keen to get back together and celebrate their trucks and the camaraderie they’ve missed in an event-free world.

For HHA (Heavy Haulage Australia) boss Jon Kelly, a major sponsor of the Castlemaine event along with Dave Larsen from Larsen’s Truck Sales, the show is a highlight of the annual calendar.

“This show produces the best trucks in the country and the people who support it set the benchmark in trucking,” Kelly says.

Entries for the 2023 event are now open, with multiple judging categories covering a wide range of working and show trucks.

Jeromey Edwards from JBE Transport, who won last year’s Rig of the Show with his 2008 Kenworth,

These great Macks were on show at Castlemaine in 2022

is coming back as a sponsor of a new Engine Bay category in 2023.

For others the Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show is a chance to relax with their families and catch up with old mates.

There is live music all weekend, a range of catering suppliers and a licensed bar onsite too. Shamick Transport had such a great time last year with their team that they are returning as a feature sponsor providing free children’s rides and entertainment.

All proceeds raised from the event go to support Castlemaine Rotary’s community projects and youth scholarships.

For more information and to register for the show go to castlemainetruckshow.com.

NSW aims for zero The NSW government is taking a big step towards sustainability with its latest road transport and freight net zero policy The NSW government has taken an important step towards achieving net zero by 2050, with the release of a new net zero emissions policy for heavy road and rail freight.

The Towards Net Zero Emissions Freight Policy focuses on reducing the carbon footprint created by heavy road vehicles and rail freight.

The government says freight accounts for 25 per cent of total transport greenhouse gases in NSW and, with demand projected to rise by 34 per cent by 2061, it says the time to act is now.

The new policy will see the NSW government work together with industry to support the transition to low and zero emission technologies and to ensure its transport network is ready to adapt as technology and solutions evolve.

“This is an important step towards achieving net zero, while working constructively with industries,” NSW premier Chris Minns says.

“Reducing freight emissions requires a genuine partnership between government and industry.

We’re always going to need a freight sector to get the essentials from A to B, so we need to make sure our freight industry is sustainable over the long term.”

The first step will see a two-year trial to give extra mass zero emission heavy vehicles, which weigh more due to their batteries, access to the state road network. This means the industry can invest in the technology without sacrificing the payloads that underpin the freight business.

An online comparison tool has also been developed to support the transition, providing a free resource for the freight industry to source accurate information on the cost and environmental benefits of low and zero emission vehicles.

“Many freight operators are natural innovators and are already investing in low emission technologies,” NSW transport minister Jo Haylen says.

“This policy means that the government is able to support industry to continue to invest in new and emerging technologies and

reflects our joint commitment to reduce freight emissions.

“This isn’t just about cutting emissions and protecting our environment, it’s also about strengthening our economy through driving innovation, creating jobs and increasing competitiveness.”

The Towards Net Zero Emissions Freight Policy is a significant step towards reducing emissions in the transport sector, with the NSW government working to remove barriers to accelerate uptake, while balancing the freight sector’s challenging operating environment.

“The NSW government recognises the unique challenges for regional, rural and remote freight operators in achieving net zero. By working directly with industry, we will be able to support them in accessing this innovative technology and ensure regional operators can access the benefits of the transition,” NSW regional transport and roads minister Jenny Aitchison says.

South Western Logistics on a journey of growth

South Western Logistics managing director Luke Mullins

Entering its fourth year of operation, everything seems to be getting bigger and better for Sydney’s South Western Logistics Up and coming logistics solutions provider South Western Logistics is taking just about every opportunity it can to grow.

Founded in 2019 and operating out of its 7000sqm warehouse in

Prestons, Sydney, the company has expanded off the back off hard work and by ceasing on opportunities when they arose.

From its start, where it was just managing director Luke Mullins

calling local depots to find space for the warehouse, to now, its evolution has been a process he calls an ‘explosion’.

Three additional staff quickly became nearly 50, along with a fleet of 23 predominantly Scania trucks and five hire trucks, with another order of 30 on the way across the next two years, and a wide array of forklifts.

2020 was the major turning point, even in the early days of the business.

“I’m not sure if you recall this little thing called COVID,” Mullins tells ATN. “My first two trucks, I put them on order in November 2019, and the warehouse started to fill up with freight. I kept getting requested and asked if we do trucking.

“By the time they came on March 1, 2020, COVID had just reached the newspapers. The first two trucks arrived, grain deliveries kicked us

off a bit, and then COVID exploded everywhere and so did the demand for product and services.

“It went overnight from three other people working for me, that being another forklift driver and two truck drivers, to putting in an order for another four trucks, an allocator and another warehouse supervisor.”

Self-professed as “quite young for being the managing director of a company”, Mullins’ ambitions have paid off rapidly.

Now working with nearly 200 customers across its services in transport, container storage and packing/unpacking, warehousing and biosecurity, the investment into new equipment and expansion has only seen the company continue to grow.

Operating primarily in jobs for consumables such as food, paper and pharmaceuticals, the expansion of the fleet in a time of uncertainty now has South Western well placed within the industry.

“Everyone was selling equipment, everyone thought the world was ending,” Mullins says.

“I went out and bought a lot of equipment for dirt cheap, I picked up some very helpful stuff around the way.

“Consumables are high volume.

They’re thinner margins but they allow consistency of growth.

Pharmaceuticals and foods are consumable, everyone needs them.”

Mullins says that the foundation and growth of the company would not have been possible without his “right hand man”, Andrew Littlewood.

Acting as the depot manager, Littlewood admits that he thought joining South Western would be

his “retirement village”, as he began to wind down from a 25-year long career in the transport industry.

Instead, he has gone from being involved in more of the corporate side of the industry to being on the ground floor in day-to-day operations of the depot.

And while there’s been challenges that have come with that, Littlewood says that experience has held him in good stead for the three years so far.

“We only had a couple of trucks when I started at South Western and I thought, oh this will be nice. Then we exploded,” Littlewood tells ATN. “Coming to a smaller depot, you have to wear a hundred different hats.

It’s a bit of a learning curve.

“What I took out of being with the majors is structurally, putting the right people into place. The safety and compliance piece that goes with trucks, that’s been the biggest challenge.

“We’ve taken the good from what the big players do and implemented it on a smaller scale. It’s been just as challenging.

“We still have to play by the same

rules, so we’ve put the right people in place, but it’s been a slow process. We continue to grow and we’ve still got more to go.”

That next phase of growth, Mullins says, is making the jump from being from being a smaller operator to optimising a large team and business.

As South Western continues to grow, adding more staff, trucks, forklifts and possibly even discussing plans of interstate expansion, the right systems need to be in place to ensure the smoothest process possible.

“What we’re trying to implement at the moment within the team is more structure and systems and optimising everything,” Mullins says.

“When one person steps away, another person steps in. It doesn’t work for all roles, but for the majority when the operation runs, that makes it practical. That’s how you expand.

“Moving along the east coast is the five-to-10-year plan. I’m systemising everything from transport to unpacks to the warehouse, all of our services.

“I’m a very big believer in systems creating service.”

Carol Single took home the main prize at the NatRoad conference

NatRoad award winners announced NatRoad has announced its major award winners at its annual conference, with a well-known operator taking home the top prize At the National Road Transport Association’s (NatRoad) annual conference, award winners were recognised for their work for the road transport industry.

Passionate safety advocate Carol Single is the recipient of this year’s Ted Pickering Award for an Outstanding Contribution to the Australian road transport industry.

The co-owner of Single Transport from Mackay in Queensland received her award at the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.

Single works tirelessly with the Mackay Road Accident Action group, a volunteer non-profit association committed to tackling road safety issues in Mackay and the Bowen Basin.

She is a previous recipient of the National Trucking Industry Women of the Year award.

“Carol represents the best that our industry has to offer – someone who is deeply involved in their own business but who finds time to be a champion for safer roads,” NatRoad chair Paul Fellows says.

“Road freight arteries like the Peak Downs Highway are the lifeblood to the Mackay Region and the Bowen Basin, with thousands of vehicles using it daily.

“Fuel trucks alone are using it to move approximately six million litres of bulk fuel each day.

“Much of Carol’s work is behind the scenes but she has made a lifesaving difference for her peers - and indeed all road-users – on those long stretches of North Queensland highway.”

Single and husband Ian operate a business with five specialised crane trucks and servicing most of Central Queensland. Their company, Single Transport Services Limited, has been a fixture in Mackay since 1980.

In 1997, Single Transport Services was accredited with Trucksafe, the national business and risk management system that improves the safety and professionalism of trucking operators nationwide. Single is a life member of the Mackay Road Accident Action group.

Dennis Harding of Beck’s Transport

Training in Canberra was named NatRoad’s Professional Driver of the Year.

Harding is a long-standing employee of Beck’s, who was nominated for his devotion to safety, integrity and performance on the job.

Beck’s is a family-owned business specialising in providing heavy vehicle licence upgrades for ACT and NSW licence holders. looking to upskill their career.

Stephanie Arpasi of Dubbo firm Fardell’s Heavy Haulage was named the National Road Transport Association Youth Employee of the Year.

A 22-year-old driver-operator, Arpasi has made a huge impact on colleagues in a short period of time.

Established in 2014, Fardell’s Heavy Haulage provides heavy haulage, general and bulk freight services, wet and dry plant hire and earthmoving solutions for the New South Wales Central West.

Colleagues say Arpasi’s skills in safely securing heavy equipment for long haulage are meticulous and she applies the same approach to driving.

Shane Pendergast of Air Brake Systems in Hornsby, New South Wales was named winner of the National Road Transport Association Excellence in Operational Support Award for his years of making trucking a safer industry.

Hundreds of truck drivers and many more mechanics have attended workshops conducted over the past seven years by Pendergast, who is a specialist in electronic braking systems.

As NSW Service Manager for Air Brake Systems, he has an industrywide reputation for professionalism and a passion for making sure customers have fully functioning and fault-free braking systems.

Rest stop dilemmas ATN speaks to a truckie with 35 years of experience, as she recounts her struggles with female accessibility at vehicle rest areas. Alex Catalano writes.

For all the advancements in technology and equipment in the trucking industry, many say there are still simple things that need addressing.

Long a male-dominated industry, there has been a steady change across recent years. A Bureau of Infrastructure report estimated that 77 per cent of transport workers were male in 2016, with not much movement since then.

Efforts are being made to change this. Major companies are offering transport scholarships for women, advocacy groups are being created and training courses are seeing a significantly higher uptick in female enrolment.

But one veteran driver says simple amenities for women like toilets at rest stops are still being ignored.

Tara has been on the road for

almost 35 years, doing interstate drives between Melbourne and Adelaide and all across Australia.

These days, she’s semi-retired, but still does changeovers at Nhill.

Self-described as “old school” but “starting to slow down a bit”, Tara is as experienced and weathered as any driver across Australia.

“I’ll put it like this. Nhill Highway was actually a highway with a single lane each way when I started,” she told ATN. But her “pet peeve” has been a lack of accessibility for women at vehicle rest areas.

Across her years, Tara says she has encountered several difficulties when the facilities aren’t available to her and other female drivers.

“My big thing is facilities are built but there’s nothing available for women,” she says.

“There’s more and more women getting into the industry, a lot more than when I started. They opened the Nhill trailer exchange, but there were no women’s toilets.

“There was a disabled and a whole heap of men’s toilets and that was it.

I jumped up and down. Half the time you can’t use the disabled toilets because it’s either blocked up or there’s a man in it.

“On several occasions, I’ve been there for three and a half hours, and someone has locked the door to the toilet and you can’t get into it.”

These aren’t just concerns from Tara alone. Many female drivers and workers within the transport industry share these sentiments.

As recently as July this year, supply chain consultancy TMX Global published an industry study focusing on female perception of

DOW 498 045-085 ATNews.indd 74

13/10/2023 10:24 am

Feature Much noise has been made about improving the country’s truck stops, but drivers are yet to see much progress on the highways

truck rest stops. It found that many women do not stop at rest areas if they don’t feel safe, with accessible amenities playing a major part in that response.

Other factors found in the study such as poor lighting, unenclosed shower facilities, a lack of security and the risk of vandalism to vehicles prevent them from stopping at or using existing rest stops.

Most survey respondents, which included both male and female drivers, say they primarily stop at rest areas due to fatigue and to use the bathroom.

It’s issues like these, Tara says, that are preventing more women from taking up jobs within the transport industry.

“The women truck drivers, they’re out there to do a job,” she says.

“They don’t expect any special treatment at all. They just expect a bit of courtesy and a bit of respect.

“I do think issues like these make it

harder for them. I know that there are women that are having these issues, and I do come across them. Why should I have to go against the men, at this point?

“The Nhill trailer exchange, it is busy. I have to make sure no one’s around so I can go and use the toilet.

“They moved the changeover bay out of town because the trucks are too noisy. That’s fair enough. I have no problem with that.

“What I do have a problem with is that if I have to go into town, I have to leave my truck behind me in the middle of the street. No resident wants that.”

The location of rest areas has been another issue raised by truckies.

The federal government announced the Heavy Vehicle Rest Area Initiative (HVRAI) in July, encouraging truckies to have their say.

It committed more than $140 million over 10 years for the

construction of new and upgraded rest areas, headed by senator Glenn Sterle.

Submissions have been welcomed for the implementation of new rest areas as well as any issues with the condition of current rest areas.

In New South Wales, there was overwhelming feedback around the amount of rest stops, with 65 per cent of participants in a Transport NSW report also describing the rest areas as either ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ in quality.

While there will soon be a new heavy vehicle rest area in Western Sydney, truckies like Tara feel like there are many areas that have still been overlooked.

“I’ve been to most places, I’ve been all over Australia, just about, driving,” she says.

“Everything needs a bit of maintenance. We just want to do our jobs. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.”

Healthy heads

DOW-FP-M-5012209-A

Big names in transport have jumped on board to offer training for mental health As R U OK? Day has passed for another year, it’s important to remember that checking in with your own or other’s mental health isn’t just a one day event.

Consistent conversations are imperative to the health and wellbeing of an individual, and knowing how to recognise when someone needs help could be lifesaving.

A national collaboration earlier this year saw a fresh focus on improving the mental health of the Australian transport, logistics and supply chain industry.

Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS), Steering Healthy Minds (SHM), Toll Group and TrackSAFE Foundation teamed up to tackle the mental health crisis facing the industry through targeted, early intervention mental health training.

Jo Kitney, managing director of SHM, says there are unique mental health challenges facing the transport industry due to the nature of the work involved.

“Often, workers are isolated for long periods, exhibit lower physical health and are over exposed to accidents on

the roads. As a result, there is a higher incidence of mental stress,” Kitney says.

In Australia, research at Monash University suggests the transport and logistics sector has higher rates of suicide, and incidences of mental illness and psychological distress.

“The demographics seen in the transport industry can also be a compounding factor as the average transport worker is middle aged and male, making them less likely to be open about mental health,” Kitney says.

Partnering with Mental Health First Aid Australia (MHFA), the training reflects the unique and diverse workforce and mental health-related challenges across the expansive industry.

The practical, skills-based education program equips adults in the workplace with the skills and confidence needed to recognise and respond to a co-worker or another adult experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.

Individual participation is generally voluntary depending on the size of the organisation.

Since its inception and success, other transport workplaces have embedded MHFA training into their organisation to create a culture of care across their workplace.

V/Line, Transport for NSW, Aurizon, Henning Harders, Port of Brisbane and Rail Projects Victoria are among some of the organisations adopting this forward-thinking training.

Aurizon surveyed staff who had completed Mental Health First Aid training, revealing there was an increased confidence to help someone in need and start a mental health first aid conversation.

Participants even indicated they had also supported family, friends and other people in the community with their newfound skills.

MHFA says after completion of the course, participants will be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health problems in adults, use an evidence-based action plan to initiate a mental health first aid conversation and assess for a range of crisis situations and provide initial support.

Hitting the ton

Noel Lane picks up his new R-Series Scania – the 100th truck he’s added to the fleet

Lane Transport’s Noel Lane started out with a Ford LTL-9000 in 1989. Now he’s up to truck number 100, the latest addition a new extended cab R-Series Scania. Tiarna Condren writes.

When you first hear a truck roaring up for a run, it’s hard to not get excited.

Everyone can remember a time when they held out their arm and did the infamous pull-down move, urging the driver to blast the horn. They tend to not forget these moments.

For Noel Lane however, there are way too many of those moments to think of.

Calling Noel up, I shouldn’t have been surprised to find out he was answering from a truck. With a hum in the background, he revealed that

growing up at his family’s potato farm in Killarney, western Victoria, he was constantly surrounded by trucks.

“We were constantly around transport all the time. We were around trucks. They were everywhere,” he says.

When he finally started driving them, it was to cart potatoes from the wider Western District of Victoria as well as loading from the potato growing centre of Hillston in NSW. When reflecting on the time he says, “we definitely learnt about having a pretty good work ethic”.

“We were also milking cows. It was seven days of work every week.”

However tiring, Lane says he always wanted to get into transport.

Founding Lane Transport in 1989, he saw an opportunity to provide exceptional customer service within the interstate freight industry.

Starting with only one truck, Lane’s first fleet addition was a Ford LTL-9000.

A competitor to the GMC General,

Kenworth W900, Mack Super-Liner and Peterbilt 359, the vehicle was fitted with a set-forward front axle and a longer hood than previous versions.

Since then, Lane Transport has evolved into a successful business with a continually growing large fleet of late model European and American trucks transporting bulk loads and general freight throughout Australia.

“Over the years I’ve always had Fords, Cascadias and Mercedes.

Their trucks are always good and honest,” he says.

“Over the last five to six years I’ve started introducing Scania into the fleet.

“The drivers love to drive them and the maintenance programs are really good.”

Celebrating its 100th fleet addition this month, Lane Transport

received one of the first Scania extended cab R-series.

With 35 active vehicles traversing Australia currently, carting packaged general freight mostly in B-double configuration, the new Scania joins the mixed fleet and will run Melbourne-Adelaide-Millicent five times per fortnight, clocking up around 200,000km annually.

Named after Noel’s granddaughter Jayla Rose, the truck is powered by a 660hp (492kW) V8 engine and finished in a striking shade of Scania Blue Sapphire metallic and boasts bold V8 decals.

In addition, the larger extended cab provides Lane Transport drivers with a more comfortable environment for life on the road

Noel gets behind the wheel of the 660hp Scania

due toits high ceiling and extra cab length.

In addition, Noel’s new truck comes standard with side curtain rollover protection airbags for the driver and passenger, a steering wheel airbag, advanced emergency braking, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control as standard.

“We always wanted the 100th truck to be special and to keep it for a long time. They fiddled around with the gold and did it perfectly,” he says.

After receiving the keys, Noel immediately climbed in behind the wheel and took it up to Brisbane with its first load.

“I am still happy to jump in and do my share of driving, and then you know what your drivers have got to put up with,” he says.

“It’s good for management to see and keep up to date with everything at the sites.”

New Ampol blend on trial Ampol has turned to major construction supplier Hanson to forge forward with a new renewable diesel trial Ampol has announced it will conduct a renewable diesel trial, with construction and building material supplier Hanson Australia confirmed as its first customer partner.

The trial will allow Ampol to get a practical understanding of the customer demand and market feasibility of renewable diesel in Australia.

Ampol will supply Hanson with a blend consisting of 20 per cent renewable diesel and 80 per cent ultra-low sulphur diesel in addition to its Ampol Amplify additives.

The announcement of the renewable diesel trial follows Ampol’s recent partnership with Japan’s

largest oil company, ENEOS, to explore the production of renewable fuels at the Lytton refinery.

Ampol executive general manager of international and new business Brent Merrick says the trial strengthens Ampol’s position as a leading supplier of world-class quality fuels.

“Ampol is proud of the role it plays in supporting our customers. We are acutely aware that our customers’ transport energy priorities are shifting and that partnering with industry leaders such as Hanson is vital in ensuring we continue to evolve,” Merrick says.

“This renewable diesel trial is

NHVR launches defect portal The NHVR has released a new platform that will help operators stay on top of any defect notices A newly released portal by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) will ensure all operators will now be able to view defects issued to their entire fleet online.

The NHVR Portal – Compliance Module provides operators with a comprehensive overview of defect notices, enabling more effective tracking and timely management of defects.

Operators will also be able to better identify any defect trends to help reduce the number of defects issued and make the roads safer for all.

s

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says the launch of the new module reflects the regulator’s commitment to exploring innovative ways to make it easier and safer for the heavy vehicle industry to conduct business.

“Improving productivity and safety is a key objective of the NHVR and this new module helps achieve this, through timely and simplified access to important compliance related information,” Petroccitto says.

“Currently, operators face challenges with timely notifications of defects, which

another step in our development of a renewable fuels business in Australia.

“The availability of renewable diesel, particularly for hard-toabate areas, is of particular interest as it does not require vast fleet or infrastructural changes.

“Renewable diesel has an important role to play in the energy transition. We would like to thank Hanson for committing to this journey with Ampol.”

Hanson is a leader in building and construction materials with an extensive production and logistics network across Australia.

“This trial furthers Hanson’s commitment to CO2 reduction across the supply chain, with innovation being the key to our roadmap,” Hanson Australia chief executive Phil Schacht says.

The trial starts in October and will continue for approximately two months, with an evaluation process to be executed prior to exploring a wider roll out to Ampol’s broader customer base.

affects fleet management.

“By providing a centralised platform to view the defect history of the entire fleet, operators can identify trends and address issues promptly to enhance the maintenance of their fleet.

“This will in turn reduce the number of defects issued to operators and contribute to improved vehicle standards within the heavy vehicle industry.”

The NHVR says it is committed to leveraging technology to boost safety, promote productivity and increase heavy vehicle standards, ultimately benefiting everyone on the roads.

All operators can access the new module through their existing account.

Eye-popping new HQ for Eurocold Refrigerated truck company Eurocold has expanded further with the announcement of its latest local site Australian refrigerated truck solutions company Eurocold has begun working on a new facility in the City of Logan as part of the national expansion of the company.

It will increase Eurocold’s floorspace from 1,200sqm to 8,677sqm (approximately a 620 per cent increase) and complements the launch of Eurocold’s division in Western Sydney in April, Melbourne in November and plans to be in Perth and New Zealand this financial year.

The project is being overseen by ESR. Not only will it allow Eurocold to expand its manufacturing and assembly capabilities, but also to do it in a sustainable way, with solar power, electric charging stations and other sustainability practices.

It will create 45 full-time jobs in the City of Logan expanding current headcount by 22 that will move across from Eurocold’s current assembly site in Wynnum.

The creation of the new facility is in line with the roll out of Revora – Eurocold’s electric truck brand launched in March. The first Revora electric refrigerated truck will be

delivered in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Revora will utilise cutting edge technology developed with Carrier and chassis suppliers to ensure more efficient practices in refrigerated transport. Eurocold says it will reduce carbon emissions through all-electric powered vehicles and refrigeration cabinets while also reducing waste through the course of delivery to end customers.

Managing Director of Eurocold and Revora, Avraam Solomon, says the Berrinba facility future proofs the company for expansion.

“We have a bold plan to take the number of Eurocold vehicles on the road from the current 200 to nearly 2000 by the end of 2029,” Solomon says.

“We’re committed to a significant investment into the refrigerated trucking industry over the next three years.

“This will see our footprint increase across Australia and into New Zealand – we hope to have all of our new facilities signed and operational within 12 months.

“This plan includes the launch of Revora, which has created an incredible amount of interest throughout the industry. We’ll be providing sustainable, electrified delivery solutions at multiple sizes from small utility type vehicles right through to larger, rigid units.

“Our developer partners at ESR are assisting us with the move to a carbon free future through the technology being implemented and their company is built on a shared vision of building for a sustainable future in the new economy.”

ESR Australia’s General Manager Development of Queensland Craig Robertson says: “ESR welcomes Eurocold to Berrinba Industrial Estate and their signing marks a significant milestone for the Estate, closing out the first two stages.

“The ESR Australia team will work closely with Eurocold as we close out construction and then through active management to ensure the space caters to all their operational needs as they upscale operations.”

The Berrinba factory is expected to be in operation by March 2024.

Record ship arrival The CMA CGM Pelleas has made history after visiting the Port of Melbourne History has been made at the Port of Melbourne, as the port and the Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) recently welcomed container vessel CMA CGM Pelleas on her maiden call to the port.

The ship’s arrival has set a record, becoming the longest ship ever to call at the Port of Melbourne.

The 10,028 TEU vessel has an overall length of 350m and a beam of 43m, with the ship set to proceed to Brisbane after its Melbourne visit.

Port of Melbourne CEO Saul Cannon has welcomed the arrival of CMA CGM Pelleas and says it’s an indicator of the future fleet anticipated to operate in the port.

“The arrival of CMA CGM Pelleas is an exciting milestone and is an insight to future Port operations.

Innovation and investment in strategic infrastructure assets have demonstrated our commitment to sustainability objectives and a

vision for the future,” Cannon says.

The Port of Melbourne has undertaken an extensive vessel simulation program supported

by Ports Victoria, towage and the pilotage services providers.

Cannon says this successful arrival of the vessel results from timely engagement and collaboration between the key stakeholders to effectively analyse and validate future operations and maximise the built assets.

“Port of Melbourne considers not only the long-term operations of the port, but how port users and industry will need to work together to achieve positive outcomes for all stakeholders,” Cannon says.

CMA CGM managing director Shane Walden says it’ll continue working closely with its partners to offer a reliable and sustainable liner service to its customer network.

“The deployment of the CMA

CGM Pelleas on our A3C service represents an ongoing commitment to the trade between Australia and Asia,” Walden says.

“Our partners in the Port of Melbourne have been extremely supportive to ensure the smooth operatƒions of this vessel.”

VICT CEO Bruno Porchietto says he’s proud to welcome the Pelleas as the largest vessel to arrive in Melbourne.

“The arrival of super-sized vessels is likely to become more common, following a global trend by shipping companies toward the use of larger ships, which are more efficient due to their carrying capacity,” Porchietto says.

Port of Melbourne’s Head of Marine Operations, Captain Arun Rampal, presented a plaque to the Master to commemorate the vessel’s inaugural call to the Port of Melbourne.

The Truckstar Festival in the Netherlands is not only the biggest truck event of its kind in Europe, it’s known as the continent’s most “fun festival” Words & Images | Warren Aitken 87

J One thing that doesn’t change the world over is the amount of passionate ‘truckarazzi’. These were just the official ones; thousands more were spotted over the course of the weekend

The line-up for the first heats of the annual Decibel Contest

n order to do this story justice, I went searching for the most appropriate descriptive words I could find.

Remarkable, astounding, incredible, awesome, mind-blowing, impressive, fantastic, tremendous, pre-eminent and unsurpassed. All these words are emotive and powerful in their own right. All of them can conjure a sense of amazement and wonder. However, individually none of them hold the gravitas required to get my point across.

This was my first journey into Europe and subsequently my first journey to the Truckstar Festival. The entire experience requires words that summarise how unbelievably cool the trip was, how monstrously mind-blowing the festival was, and how fantastically friendly the truck fans were. Hence, I used my thesaurus to find the

most accurate descriptive words I could.

With so much to say, it’s hard to know where to begin. I can honestly say this was one of the best shows – sorry … festivals – I have ever been to. Sure, it was a long trek to get there. All up I think I had about 21 hours up in the air. If you are at the fancy end of the plane it may be no issue, but for guys my size, down in cattle class, 21 hours is a pretty hefty effort. Even with that and knowing I would have the same on the way home, it was worth it.

The Truckstar Festival was like nothing I have ever experienced. Whether you are a fan of the Euro gear or not, these guys take customising and cleaning to a whole new level.

And do you remember the old adage, ‘It’s not about quantity, it's about quality’? Well, the Truckstar Festival blows that out of the water because it’s packed with quality and quantity. I mean it’s seriously packed with quantity.

Let's start there.

There were 2300 trucks at the Truckstar Festival. For the record that’s actually the cutoff as well. It’s not like they ran out of trucks to put in. The 2300 trucks is the maximum number they can fit in the grounds. That equates to 1500 around the track, a couple of hundred in the competition area, and several hundred more in the oldies section, the American section, the heavy haulage section, the tow truck section and a couple of other sections I didn’t even get a chance to see.

The top three in the bobtail section lined up on the front straight. But the important part is behind them where thousands fill the stands for prizegiving on the Sunday

Growth story The show began back in 1980, the same year that Dutch publishers Sanoma Media printed their first issue of Truckstar magazine. With the success of the publication, they decided to run a little truck show to help promote the new mag.

That first show was held at an exhibition hall and featured less than 100 trucks. By year two however, there was huge interest in Truckstar magazine and subsequently the Truckstar Festival, meaning the exhibition hall would not be near big enough. Instead,

the show was moved to the famous F1 track in Zandvoort. This was the real beginning of the juggernaut that has become the Truckstar Festival.

By 1992 even the Zandvoort F1 track was being stretched to its limits and the show moved to its current home, the worldfamous Assen TT circuit. The 4.5km track at Assen has played host to such famous names as Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner.

It was even the location of Jack Miller’s first MotoGP win. Lunatics on two wheels aside, for the last 30 years the TT circuit gets shut down for a week, the track gets coated in sand and the world-class facility hosts the biggest truck festival in Europe, attracting over 50,000 people through the gates to eat, drink, party and drink.

Along with a plethora of pimped-out trucks, there are concerts, activities, light shows and bucketloads of booze on hand.

It is a truck event like you have never experienced.

Before we start talking about the race trucks and the car football, let’s just explain the truck show side of the festival. The

competitive aspect takes place in the main area of the TT circuit. There are two separate competitions going on over the festival.

Firstly, there are trucks from all around Europe that have applied to compete in categories like Best Paint, Best Interior and other categories. Those show trucks apply to enter the competition months in advance, submitting photos and information to Truckstar magazine. The Truckstar team then whittles the numbers down to the amount they can squeeze in.

The second competition is open solely to Dutch trucks and has the top 24 battling it out for the title of the ‘Most Beautiful Truck of the Netherlands’. Battling it out is probably the wrong turn of phrase, but ‘buffing it out’ or ‘cleaning it out’ just didn’t have the same ring to it.

Getting your truck into the Netherlands Top Truck Competition is done a little differently to what we see over here. The finalists for this competition are selected by readers of Truckstar magazine. At the start of each year, Truckstar releases a special edition where Dutch drivers and owners can submit a photo of their truck, along with all the relevant

information. The trucks are catalogued in one of eight categories. Geconditioneerd Vervoer, Huif/gesloten veroer, Open Voertuigen, Zeecontainertransport, Losgestort Vervoer, Bulk and tanktransport, Speciale voertuigen and Losse trekkers. For those who don’t speak Dutch it’s basically fridge vans, tautliners/ pan, flat tops, containers, bulk, tankers, heavy haulage and prime movers. It’s just more fun to say in Dutch.

All the submitted photos are printed in a special issue, with each issue having an assigned code. This means whoever buys the magazine then votes on the trucks they like.

A couple of months out from the show the votes are tallied up and the top three in each category are notified and invited to display at the festival. There they are judged and on Sunday the pecking order is announced – first, second and third. The eight category winners are then lined up and out of those the overall winner gets announced.

All the trucks are working trucks, obviously on much better roads than ours, but working nonetheless. Having a heads-up in advance allows a lot of these guys to spend the weeks before the show detailing their trucks and

Europe’s best Even with the limited numbers involved in the competition, it Is a mammoth effort for the five judges. That includes reigning down judgment on not just the Netherlands' top 24 trucks, but also finding time to pick out winners among the best Europe has to offer.

The quality of every single truck in the judging area was second to none. The attention to detail in both the paintwork and the preparation was on a level that tired me out just looking at it. Sound systems that would rival a small nightclub, paint so glossy the finish would mirror an actual mirror, and light setups that should come with an epilepsy warning and a set of polarising sunglasses. Whether you are a fan of European trucks or not, you couldn’t help but be blown away.

Skipping over just how difficult it must have been for the judges I would love to quickly fill you in on the awards and prize giving.

Once again, I have never seen anything like it. The front straight of the Assen TT circuit hosts the prize giving and the front straight stand is absolutely packed. Thousands of people turn up and watch as the top three from each category line up, with the MC waving the winner forward to thunderous applause. Then the eight category winners are announced and lined up. The atmosphere

is electric and rivals that of a Hollywood awards gala.

When the winner was announced there was cheering, tears and mass applause. You could not help but be carried away by the wave of enthusiasm. Once again, it was an eye-opening experience. This leads me to a run down on the festival side of things.

At the end of 2022 when I first thought about heading to the Truckstar festival I spoke to the legendary Bruce Hay from Drake Collectibles.

Bruce had attended in 2022 and raved about it, telling me in no uncertain terms I would not get to see everything, no hope. Obviously being full of my own machismo I took that as a challenge. Of course I will get around everything, I love walking and it's just a truck show. Well, I can tip my hat to Bruce, I didn’t make it.

Here's the thing. The 1500 trucks parked around the truck would keep any truck nut preoccupied for days if not weeks. The drivers of those trucks aren’t there to win prizes, they are there to kick back and have fun. I was three times over the legal limit before I got 100m down the track. Everybody wants to talk; everybody is offering you a drink.

There are containers turned into pools, there are old trucks turned into bars, there are fridge trailers turned into giant eskies and cordoned off sleeping quarters. On one side of the track there’s a DJ cranking ‘doof doof’ music while drunk truckies ‘dance like no one is watching’. Three trucks down on the

You go a little further around the track and you will find parents sharing drinks while the kids are running around having a giant foam fight. If you escape that intact, by the time you get another few trucks down the track you find yourself having to look up and see a bunch of guys sitting on a couch that their truck crane has lifted some 10 metres in the air, making great use of their super-soakers from the high ground.

Party time I was walking for a couple of hours, went through two camera batteries and damn near filled a 64GB card up. While the alcohol consumption would easily rival the top of the mountain at Bathurst, the atmosphere was always light and joyous. I met hundreds of people and understood about 1/100th of what they were saying, but it was unbelievably fun.

Like the show itself, I have barely managed to scratch the surface and all my posturing will pale in comparison to the event itself.

The Truckstar team has been finetuning this event for years and can now just tweak things here and there as they relish the event they have created. It is extremely familyorientated throughout the day with plenty of playgrounds and activities for the kids. At night there are light shows galore, from the show trucks to trackside parties. There is

also a fairground with side shows and rides that run until late and Saturday night saw a massive concert with around five bands keeping the crowds entertained and dancing.

If you need a break from the overwhelming awesomeness of the show during the day, there was entertainment galore down the front straight. From the high-speed antics of the racing trucks to lunatics in crappy cars playing car soccer.

Best of all was the annual ‘Decibel Competition’. They may still have all the emissions laws that we have to endure as well, but the truckies over there put a lot of effort into making sure their V8s sound as tough as possible. I am still investigating this year's winner but last year it was a V8 Scania registering 128db. That puts it louder than a jet plane, slightly less than a gunshot and about on par with a jackhammer.

I could go on for days with more info from this incredible show, there is just so much to say. Instead, I will let you go and enjoy the photos. I will however wrap it all up by imploring anyone with a passion for truck shows, with a love of trucks and an appreciation for craftsmanship as well as anyone with a healthy appetite for the unhealthy and desire for the drink, to make the effort to see this festival.

I will definitely be going back, so pack your bags, your walking shoes, and plenty of camera batteries. Truckstar Festival is out of this world.

Super MACK

With a massive 70-inch sleeper this Mack Super-Liner offers a glimpse of what’s to come for fans of the mighty bulldog brand in Australia Words | Steve Brooks 101

O

n the face of it, it’s just the story of a Super-Liner with a super-sized sleeper.

But there’s more to it. Heaps more, and the simple fact is that the introduction a few years back of Mack Anthem was always destined to be a big thing for the flagship Super-Liner. Even more to the point, Super-Liner needed Anthem, big time, and here’s why.

The Super-Liner and fully integrated 70-inch bunk was a big hit at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show.

For starters, Super-Liner is a uniquely Australian product with no US counterpart.

In fact, there’s nothing even remotely like it on the other side of the pond and as Mack’s local litter likes to bark loud and proud, Super-Liner is ‘built here, for here’.

Fair enough, but in a world ruled like never before by commercial constraints and corporate rationalisation, the economic justification for expensive local developments in relatively low volume markets such as ours is invariably on shaky ground. When it comes to cabs, for instance, the viability of significantly reshaping Mack’s long-serving, all-steel shed to make it bigger and better equipped for Australia alone would be fanciful at best.

Enter Anthem! Sure, it too is built here on the same Wacol (Qld) production line as Super-Liner and its siblings but have no doubt, it’s a truck which was first and foremost designed in North America, for North America, and specifically the American linehaul market. And that’s exactly the reason why, long before its official

US launch in 2018 and subsequent Australian debut in 2021, bulldog boffins within Volvo Group Australia (VGA) were keen as hounds on the hunt to integrate Anthem assets into Super-Liner’s structure. Anthem’s advanced electrical architecture would, for example, provide access to the latest drivetrain developments, effectively allowing Mack to catch up with colleagues and competitors alike.

Likewise, the prospect of offering SuperLiner with a stand-up cab coupled to a range of fully integrated, factory-built sleeper options had Mack insiders almost drooling with anticipation, and perhaps none salivating more than Dean Bestwick, the former head of Mack Trucks Australia, and his successor, Mack vice-president Tom Chapman.

Historically, Mack Australia has been largely free to do its own thing in the development of models for this country’s conditions. Trucks like Titan, Super-Liner, Trident and MetroLiner are unique to Australia and thus, blatant proof of the level of local autonomy which endured for many decades. However, as a blunt Bestwick (now in a senior position with Mack in the US) asserted some years back, “The numbers, the economics, just don’t stack up anymore. The world has changed.

“We need more from America and Anthem provides the things we want. Simple as that.”

More precisely, Super-Liner and its siblings were aging fast. Simple as that.

Like a mini apartment, space and comfort are supreme in the 70 inch sleeper but it’s largely still in left-hand drive layout. No doubt, changes will be made before production starts on the Wacol (Qld) production line next year

Anthem opened the door to America like never before, drawing a new line in the sand for Mack both here and in its US homeland.

Evolutionary more than revolutionary, yet sporting external styling unlike anything in the world, it was in every way a milestone model marking that point where the status quo was refashioned, reformed and roundly rejuvenated in a bold bid to dramatically broaden Mack’s horizons.

In the US, with Anthem boasting a standup cab and fully integrated 70-inch sleeper for the first time, plus a swathe of desperately needed developments including advanced wiring and electronics systems, greater emphasis on driver comfort and convenience, and the standard inclusion of the Bendix Wingman stability control package, Mack was effectively launching itself back into North America’s long distance highway business. Or at least, back into the brawl for a bigger bite of the bone.

Locally though, it surprised nobody that among the long list of Anthem attributes being closely eyeballed for our market was a reconfigured version of an aging cab structure which allowed a tall driver of 1.8 metres and more (six feet-plus) to stand upright from the driver’s seat and access a large, well-equipped sleeper section.

“Anthem will give us a massive boost,” said Dean Bestwick during an impromptu interview in the spacious surrounds of a high-rise Anthem cab and 70-inch sleeper during the 2019 Mid-America Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky. For Bestwick and his bulldog brethren, the possibilities were palpable and there’s little doubt that even back then, the prospect of adapting Anthem’s stand-up cab and premier sleeper to Super-Liner was square in their sights.

Crucially, it’s worth noting that Dean Bestwick and Tom Chapman weren’t the only Australians closely eyeing Anthem and its biggest bunk. Another visitor to MidAmerica in 2019 was VGA senior product manager Scott Simpson who would have a major hand in Anthem’s testing and validation for the Australian market.

Calm and thoughtful, it was nonetheless a candid Simpson who confidently remarked, “There’s a lot to like and from what I’ve seen, there are no glaring issues in durability

Big Bunk. Indeed!

terms. The gusseting they’ve done to strengthen the cab for the higher roofline seems really strong … we already know this is a durable cab and with Anthem there are a lot of improvements in a lot of areas.

“I’d say they’ve done a really good job with it.” High praise from a man with a natural propensity for cautious commentary.

Yet even back then it was apparent that while the stand-up cab would be appealing to many, the 70-inch sleeper would be simply too long for Anthem’s target markets in Australia, namely heavy rigid, single trailer and B-double duties.

On the other hand, the combination of a high-rise cab and fully integrated mega-bunk

would almost certainly add a powerful string to Super-Liner’s bow for heavy haulage, roadtrain roles and the like. Indeed, one of the biggest attractions – literally and physically – at the Brisbane Truck Show earlier this year was the first Super-Liner with the stand-up cab and sprawling 70-inch sleeper.

So, it’ll surprise no one to learn that the offer to take the same outfit on an 1100km round-trip between Mt Isa and Hughenden with an AB-triple in tow didn’t need to be made twice. Besides, after several years since our last stint in a Super-Liner, there was more to experience than just a night sleeping in a bigger bunk.

13/10/2023 10:22 am

New DEALS Power and space Big bunks aren’t new to Mack, but nor are little bunks and in Super-Liner’s case the choice is wider than ever.

For more length-conscious roles like B-doubles, there’s a low-line 28-inch sleeper and since Anthem’s arrival, a 36-inch highrise bunk integrated with the stand-up cab.

More traditional are homegrown 58-inch and 64-inch sleepers in mid-rise and hi-rise form built by Joe Bradley Fibreglass in the Brisbane suburb of Strathpine. However, for the past seven years or so, and with an obvious eye on bringing as much business in-house as possible, Mack has also offered a tall 60-inch berth derived from a premium Mack linehaul sleeper from the US. In fact, in 2016 we drove the first SuperLiner fitted with the high-rise 60-inch bunk on its maiden run, overnighting at Charleville during an exercise in western Queensland which even then exposed the need for a taller cab to partner the taller sleeper. As our subsequent report stated, ‘There’s no question that even at first glance, Mack’s new 60-inch sleeper is quick to

impress. Sure, you still have the issue of no standing room between the seats but with this bunk it’s only one stooped step from the driver’s pew to a place where even big blokes have the space to stand bolt upright, stretch out, get changed, lay down, hang clothes, get something cool out of the fridge, and generally unwind after hours at the wheel.

‘A word of warning though: take care when moving from the bunk to the cab. There’s a huge height difference and in the “wee” hours when Nature’s call interrupts deep sleep, it’s easy to knock the noggin on the rear edge of the cab roof; and knock it hard when you’re blurry-eyed and in a hurry.’

Bearing the bruise, the simple conclusion was, ‘The Mack cab is, in fact, starting to show its age with the complete absence of a standup option to complement the several tall sleepers already offered by the brand’.

Now, thanks to Anthem, the introduction of a stand-up cab gratefully makes drowsy head-butts a thing of the past while the addition of a 70-inch bunk undeniably adds a new dimension to Super-Liner status.

Meantime, word from within the corporate

Another otherwise good driving layout is marred by an awkward control panel for the mDrive transmission and a somewhat bland décor. With its 70 inch fully integrated sleeper, Super-Liner is a top-shelf truck deserving of a topshelf image

Out where the big boys work, Super-Liner is entirely at home

kennel suggests the bigger sleeper will most likely replace the 60-inch model in due course.

Still, the combination in this exercise remains the only one of its kind in Australia, with the sleeper fully imported from Mack’s US options list. The plan, however, is to assess the cab and sleeper combination in the heavy-duty and often rugged roles where such premium packages are generally sought, make any necessary adjustments for Australian conditions before ultimately assembling the sleeper from scratch at Wacol along with all the finishing touches in trim and fittings.

Obviously enough, it takes a big foundation to mount such a big cab and sleeper combination and the trial truck certainly wasn’t short on the physical stature of a Super-Liner set for heavy hauls in the backblocks. Built on a 6.1 metre wheelbase and with a gross combination mass rating of 131 tonnes, the truck carried fuel capacity of 2000 litres and 200 litres of AdBlue to keep the big bore MP10 engine barking at peak outputs of 685hp and 2300lb-ft of torque.

According to Mack, tare weight with roughly half-full tanks was around 10.4 tonnes.

At this point, it’s worth noting that while the 16 litre engine was fuelled with regular

diesel, it can – like most of its latest Volvo and UD kin – also run on hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO), said to have similar attributes to normal diesel but producing lower CO2 emissions. Right now though, HVO use is severely limited by scant availability and high cost, making the alternative fuel’s immediate future more fanciful than fruitful.

Back on the hardware, Mack’s decision to delete manual transmissions entirely from its product range is nowadays easy to accept.

Since the availability of crawler cogs in the mDrive automated transmission, along with the smoother shifts and ‘Grade Gripper’ hill-hold function provided by more modern electronics, the self-shifter has become even more appealing and accepted across the vast spectrum of transport tasks.

In this case, the Super-Liner ran through the HD 13-speed version of mDrive, with ratios ranging from a 17.54:1 crawler cog to a 0.78:1 overdrive top gear. It’s no secret, of course, there’s also an XHD 14-speed model using the same 12 ‘on road’ ratios but adding two crawler gears turning at 19.38 and a mountain climbing 32.04:1, as well as ultradeep reverse ratios down to a snailing 37.49:1.

Predictably perhaps, given the combination’s relatively modest gross weight of around 88 tonnes, the single crawler of

106

DOW 498 100-109 ND King Kennels.indd 106

13/10/2023 10:22 am

New DEALS

the 13-speed HD was more than ample for easy lift-offs on inclines. Moreover, with the MP10’s burly muscle running through a 3.7:1 final drive ratio, the Mack was untroubled holding the 90km/h roadtrain speed limit with the engine burbling calmly around 1200rpm in top gear.

To state the obvious, the 685hp MP10 is a potent performer, ideally programmed with peak power on stream from 1500 to 1900rpm and top torque on tap from 1000 to 1500rpm. Simply stated, the engine is delivering either maximum torque or maximum power all the way from 1000rpm to 1900rpm. A note of caution though: With such strong torque feeding through such a long chassis, it takes a feather foot on the throttle to avoid a hint of torque wind-up during lift-off.

Nonetheless, the sharply undulating country between Mt Isa and Cloncurry was little challenge to the Mack even with just a few thousand kilometres under its belt. In fact, the only stretch that might have made the dog pant even a little was the long, hard haul over the Mary Kathleen climb on the run back to Mt Isa where, with manual mode engaged, the steepest pinch near the top prompted a shift down to 6th gear where the engine barked big and bold around 1500rpm.

Slick, smooth and strong.

Flashback to 2016. We took a Super-Liner with Mack’s 60 inch sleeper on its maiden voyage and as good as the bunk was, it highlighted the need for a stand-up cab.

In time, the new 70-inch fully integrated sleeper will almost certainly replace the 60 inch shed

107

DOW 498 100-109 ND King Kennels.indd 107

13/10/2023 10:22 am

Meantime, it’s probably worth mentioning that after 1100km and with three curtainsided trailers being pummelled by sweeping side winds for much of the return leg, a fuel figure of 1.32km/litre – or 3.73mpg for us more mature types – didn’t seem too bad at all. Better still, it’ll probably only improve as more mileage gathers.

But it’s also needs to be pointed out that one aspect of Mack’s design remains less than likeable: Compared to the finger-tip shift control wands or levers of every other truck in this class, the mDrive transmission’s press button control panel is awkwardly sited on the top left of the dash fascia. It’s awkward because when big hills like Mary K make manual mode preferable, the driver has to lean forward and across to make a shift.

Simply, it’s an old, even archaic design.

Still, it probably won’t change until an entirely new cab eventually comes into being, probably from Volvo’s US stocks and probably not for a few years yet. Whatever, it’s another story for another day. Probably!

Anyway, eastbound past the ’curry and on to Julia Creek, Richmond and Hughenden, the road flattens to a long run through wide open plains but that’s not to suggest it’s a carefree canter through the Queensland countryside. Not at all, and certainly not for the drivers of triples and quads sharing the Flinders Highway between Townsville and Cloncurry with the modern-day exodus of cars, caravans and motorhomes heading to or from the back o’ beyond.

Sure, everyone has a right to the road but when much of the road is a skinny, scarred strip of sunken furrows, scrappy fringes and deceptive drops on either side, with regular signs obliging truck drivers to call their unseen approach on UHF, the burden of responsibility and danger of distraction find rare focus at the helm of an outfit snaking almost half a football field into the backdrop.

Yet despite the occasional demands on mind and machine, it was on the many less likeable stretches of road that one of the true pleasures of driving this Super-Liner was revealed. Steering! To be blunt, SuperLiner simply steers better than before. More direct and firmer, maybe even bordering on ‘too firm’ for some, but with a new steering box ratio and reconfigured rods, it is unquestionably free of the looseness and somewhat ‘washy’ traits which have marred our earlier opinions of Super-Liner steering.

In a nutshell, the driver’s view over a dog’s bum has always been a benefit for lining up the side of the road but thankfully, the dog no longer wants to wander near as much.

Sleep in style Dusk was a red rim on the western horizon as Hughenden loomed into view and later, with shower, dinner and idle chatter done, it didn’t take much encouragement to stroll into the sleeper. For starters, the ability to simply stand full length between the seats for anyone up to 1.86 metres tall cannot be overstated. When you’re spending long days and nights away

New DEALS from home, stand-up cabs are quite simply one of the great benefits of the modern age over the cramped boxes some longhaul drivers are still expected to endure.

But of course, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that comfort and space are supreme in Mack’s mobile apartment. The king single mattress is top quality, there’s a big fridge, a stack of storage space both in the cab and under the bunk, a deep locker for hanging clothes, a handy slide-out tray and as part of Mack’s ‘Outback Pack’ for roadtrain roles, an ‘Icepack’ for keeping in-cab temperature comfortable, day or night.

There was also a microwave and TV but typifying the sleeper’s left-hand drive origin, the tele sat above the fridge behind the driver’s seat. A small detail perhaps, but drivers in our part of the world generally sleep with their head behind the driver’s seat, so the TV should ideally be on the other side where the clothes locker stands.

Hopefully, Mack will reverse the layout and basically, adopt the same arrangement as the current 60-inch sleeper which has most things exactly where they should be.

Likewise, some drivers might also find the absence of a large hatch door on the side of the bunk a notable omission. Again, it’s easy to recall a hatch door on the driver’s side of the 60-inch sleeper but it remains to be seen if Mack will add it to the 70-inch model.

Whatever, in a quiet corner of Hughenden, sleep came easy on a superbly comfortable

bed. The only disturbance, of course, came in the ‘wee’ hours of the morning but gratefully, this time it didn’t take a thump in the forehead to drift back to dreamtime.

Likewise, there’s little doubt about the ride quality of the air-suspended cab and sleeper for two-up operations. A short stint on the bed when VGA’s Matt Wood drove for a while simply confirmed that snoozin’ and cruisin’ aren’t polar opposites in Mack’s biggest bunkhouse.

Yet for all its undeniable comfort and space, features and appointments, performance and road manners, the interior décor of the Super-Liner cab and its fully integrated mega-bunk borders on bland.

Sure, it’s a personal judgement but compared to one hugely popular brand in particular (no prizes for guessing which one), Mack’s grades of grey in both cab and bunk do little to inspire an image of topshelf trucking in a flagship model which so obviously and genuinely deserves a more appealing interior finish.

Maybe a woodgrain panel or two.

Whatever, as long as it adds a splash of character, class and even colour to sell the message that Mack means business. Big business, literally.

After all, drivers notice such things and make no mistake, Super-liner with a fully integrated 70-inch sleeper is every inch a driver’s truck.

im McCarthy’s 2021 Scania P320 may not be the biggest truck out there, but it’s a perfect fit for the young ownerdriver – and he sure as hell has managed to manoeuvre it into some pretty interesting locations, as I saw first-hand as he delivered a load of plastic water tanks.

The McCarthy family, proud as punch of their P320 Scania

First up, I should focus on the McCarthy family as well as their cool Scania which is the main subject of this article. If you have scoped out the photos already, you will notice the name on the truck is McCarthy Trucking. Not Tim McCarthy Trucking or even Tim Trucking. It is McCarthy Trucking and that’s because this one-truck operation is a full-on family venture.

Tim may be the man behind the wheel but behind him is his lovely wife Ebony and their daughter Addison. However, the success of this family operation spreads beyond the couple’s Bendigo home and all the way through the McCarthy bloodline.

Tim has a family tree created entirely out of tyre tread and road maps.

“My grandfather used to run log trucks out of Leonards Hill in Victoria,” says Tim, pointing out the menagerie of makes his granddad went through during his career.

From an old Louisville, a Road Boss, a couple of LTLs, a Sterling, and even an old Diamond Reo. “Grandad used to cart logs and a couple of my uncles used to drive for him back in the day,” Tim explains.

“My dad (Darren McCarthy) was a lot younger though and went off and did his own thing.”

That own thing was about as far from bush bashing and logging as you can possibly get.

“Dad started out doing light freight in an old Isuzu,” Tim continues. “He used to run between Bendigo and Ballarat. He had an old Isuzu to start with and then bought a new one which he did up like a show truck.”

Tim was indoctrinated into the transport industry from the day he was old enough to hold a sponge and could barely reach the top of the rims he was cleaning. When you start that young, with a grandfather and father so entrenched in the industry, it is no wonder he found his way to where he is now. It wasn’t exactly a straight route to the P320 he has his name on today.

Tim’s life was obviously very heavily influenced by his grandfather’s past and growing up under his father’s tutelage.

Hence, it makes perfect sense that Tim is a qualified butcher, with the beginnings of a plumbing apprenticeship (that’s just a touch of sarcasm there). Of course, it doesn’t make sense.

“Dad told me I would have to get an apprenticeship when I left school,” says Tim, who goes on to explain that he already had a part-time job cleaning at the local butcher so as soon as he was allowed to leave school. He exploited that and turned it into a butcher’s apprenticeship.

“It was a job that allowed me to get out of school as soon as I could,” Tim says. He admits though that his heart was never really in it. He’d grown up around trucks, so trucks had always been his mainstay. Even the teachers knew that back at his primary school.

“I remember my primary school teacher telling mum and dad not to bother saving for my university, save for my first truck instead,” Tim laughs. “I used to just sit in class drawing trucks.”

However, by the time he finished his apprenticeship, Tim’s dad Darren had sold up his trucks and was taking a bit of a break.

Tim himself wasn’t feeling the butcher role,

it just wasn’t floating his boat. So he tried his hand at a plumber apprenticeship. With nothing to clean in the weekends either, Tim took those years of polishing experience and started a bit of a side hustle doing car detailing. A butcher, future plumber, and detailer – that was the summary of Tim in his early 20s. None of those of this really appealed to Tim, unlike the years of working with and helping out his dad, cleaning and servicing truck. That had left its mark on the young fella.

Contentment only came when Tim got his HR licence and finally found himself behind the wheel of a little puddle jumper delivering plaster. “I tried a few different things, but it wasn’t until I got into trucks that I really enjoyed my work life.

“I started working for a few companies around Bendigo, delivering plaster,” Tim recalls. “Then I delivered milk for a while.”

It is worth taking note that Tim and Ebony started dating around the time Tim was driving his small milk truck.

Name’s sake Now let’s move back to the stunning Scania.

From delivering plaster, then milk, it didn’t

It’s the subtle touches from Saunders Sign & Graphics that really stand out on the little Scania

take long for Tim to get himself into a position to put his name on the side of his own truck.

That opportunity arose when he moved from milk to tanks. “I got a job for another company delivering water tanks,” he recalls.

“It was a good job but there weren’t really enough hours. Then I got a shot with another company, doing the same kind of thing and, although it would mean me doing some trips away from home, I thought I would try.”

Tim took to the new job like rainwater takes to the tanks he delivers. His work ethic and ability to get the job done, often in very remote locations, saw new opportunities arise. Specifically, Tim was given the option to put his own truck on the road.

An opportunity he credits to his dad and grandad.

It was these two influential figures that shaped Tim’s approach to the industry and his attitude to work. “I saw my father retire at a young age; I was also around when my grandfather worked until he couldn’t even get out of the truck anymore. I have seen both sides. I look up to my father and what he has achieved and am planning for the same thing.”

The planning he is talking about is his desire to work his butt off, balancing quality family time while keeping his gear in pristine condition as well as ensuring he has a reputation as someone not afraid of a bit of hard work.

All that grounding culminated with the chance to place the McCarthy Trucking name on the side of a truck again. With that decision made, the next obstruction was to choose the perfect vehicle to put that name on.

“I’d driven a few of the company trucks, the Hinos were good but were quite light and struggled when the wind got up. I liked the Mercedes, but they didn’t have a lot of room. So, in the end I looked at either a Volvo or a Scania,” Tim explains. “The standard accessories in the Scania beat the Volvo, like the airbag suspension.

The factory fitted adjustable Scania airbag system means Tim can raise the front end as well as the back in order to get into some spots without damage. It also means he can drop it down to look extra cool for photos

“For comfort and for the places we go into – some are really bad – but the Scania suspension can be raised 160mm. That was a big selling point. Also in that size, it’s the only one I know with an inbuilt fridge. Then there’s all the safety features included.”

Those standard safety features Tim refers to include all those annoying beepy things like lane departure warning and advanced emergency braking, as well as adaptive cruise control and the electronic stabiliser program.

Tim was also impressed by all the storage space in the low version of the P cab. “I had looked at the mid-rise version, but once again because of some of the places we have to get to, that extra height would be a bit of a pain.

Plus, the low-rise cab looks better when we have such a low tray on these trucks.”

Power-wise, Tim had looked at the next model up, the 360hp engine, but listened to the guys at Scania who were adamant the 320 would be enough. “They were right,” Tim says. “We don’t have a great weight on and

I already have to back off now when it gets windy and that.”

The Scania 9.3 litre engine produces nearly 1200lb-ft of torque at around 1200rpm.

That’s more than enough to get Tim over any mountain range without dropping a gear.

Which leads to another new issue for Tim – the auto boxes.

“I’d only ever really driven manuals. I spent some time in one of the company trucks which had an auto. It was so slow and awful.

I wasn’t sold on the idea at the start,” Tim confesses. “Now though, after having the Scania, if I was offered the choice of manual or auto, I would take the auto hands down. It’s like driving a car, it really is that good. It also has a creeper gear for reverse.”

It takes Tim longer to strap down his load than it does to actually load it. In the time it took me to get my PPE gear on, the truck went from empty to full

Delivery date With that choice made, the next issue was waiting time. From start to finish the project took all of nine months. Scania has produced P-cab variants like Tim’s before, they are designed for use in areas that require a

Heath Saunders designed the McCarthy logo to incorporate Tim’s favourite colours as well as fit perfectly with the clean, simple lines of the Scania

long wheelbase and low-profile tyre setup.

However, they are a specific truck and Tim had to wait for one to arrive in the country before he could start getting it built to his specs.

“Because I had been doing the tanks for a while, I knew a few of the little things I wanted to change about mine, little things like the flag poles. A lot of blokes just have them hanging off the headboard, then they flap around and rub all the paint off, which I’m a bit particular about,” Tim says.

“There were other things like extra-long toolboxes. I wanted those in front of the drives. Some trucks have them behind, then they end up hitting the trailer.”

Tim had made note of what would work, what wouldn’t and, most importantly, what would look good. The job then was to work

out who could do what he needed. For that he turned to the creative team at Complete Truck Bodies in Dandenong.

“Complete Truck Bodies were fantastic,” Tim says. “There are a lot of places that do the trays for these kinds of trucks but are very much ‘this is what we build’. But Complete Truck Bodies worked with me to build a oneoff kind of thing.

“We got it a bit lower, almost sitting on the chassis rails. We also added an extra fuel tank and did some changes just for the look as well.” These include the matching toolboxes and the modified bull bar.

Another small touch that needs to be noted is the cool looking quarter guards. While they were Tim’s idea and design, they were also a massive surprise to him. “Mum and dad actually did that for me. I had looked into

118

DOW 498 110-121 DP McCarthy's Scania.indd 118

13/10/2023 10:21 am

DEALS Profile them when I was speccing up the truck, but really couldn’t afford them,” he admits.

“It is our first truck, me and Ebony had our first baby coming and we’d already committed a lot to this and had to draw the line. Then I found out mum and dad had rung Complete Truck Bodies and said, ‘we’ll pay for those, just do it’. I was really surprised.”

Coming from someone that can admire the McCarthy Trucking Scania without having to pay for it, I am thankful to Tim’s mum and dad because the guards really set this truck off.

Another name that has to be mentioned is Heath Saunders from Saunders Sign & Graphics from Boort, Victoria, a name that’s no stranger to any truck enthusiast.

Saunders’ work is literally plastered over some of the coolest trucks on our roads and he was the first person Tim chased down once he had signed up to his Scania.

“I wanted something nice and subtle, not in your face. And when you look at Heath’s work it’s as good as what’s going around,” Tim explains of his choice to contact Saunders Sign and Graphics “Heath designed our logo using the purple idea. Dad’s old 900 was purple, our favourite colour is purple, so he

For a small truck there is an abundance of room inside.

Spending several nights a week sleeping in the truck is far from an inconvenience, even for someone as tall as Tim

119

13/10/2023 10:21 am

used that. He then made sure the lines were very understated and followed the body work. It’s top work.”

After a nine month wait, and thousands of kilometres in a company truck, Tim finally got the keys to his first truck. All the comfort, all the coolness, and all the practicality rolled into one.

“The truck is great. I do about 180,000 kilometres a year and go into some pretty tough spots and it’s perfect. The comfort is

second to none; I can do 1000km a day and feel fine.”

He can often spend a few days away at a time and finds the little Scania perfect for sleeping in, while admitting he’s had only limited experience with big trucks and big bunks and doesn’t know much difference.

With the work Tim does, running empty half the time, when it is loaded it’s light but extremely susceptible to the weather. So the truck choice and setup is extremely

120

DOW 498 110-121 DP McCarthy's Scania.indd 120

13/10/2023 10:21 am

DEALS Profile

important and he believes he has built the perfect truck for the role. Compared to some of the lighter Japanese trucks he has driven he finds the Scania holds the road better, plus he isn’t fighting the steering wheel all day, especially when loaded with big tanks.

Another factor is fuel economy, important for a young family and their one-truck operation, so the Scania was hard to beat on fuel consumption. Then there is the comfort, which we have already touched on, although

I think Tim sums that up best.

“Let’s be honest, the roads are not getting any better and some of the places we deliver to can be way off the beaten track. The Scania just handles it so well.”

All in all, buying your first truck can often be an overwhelming task, but Tim has done a spot-on job, getting a rig that ticks all the boxes while looking extremely sharp while working. It’s a credit to Tim and the entire McCarthy family.

Tim had the bull bar customised to ensure it wasn’t catching or scrapping on some of the hard-to-get-to locations he delivers to

ooking to retire? How about relocating to Queensland’s Gold Coast? That’s what was in the mind of Bill Flogeras after 40 years in the road transport industry after packing up and moving north from Sydney. But maybe not fully retiring, just picking up the odd job here and there.

That all changed when Bill’s sons Spiros and Carmello made the move as well. Both had experience in trucking, albeit from varied backgrounds.

Although a qualified carpenter, Carmello (or Mel as he prefers) was running a transport business. On the other hand, Spiros, with his engineering background, worked for

pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.

Prior to that he had sweet stints (pardon the pun) within the confectionary production industry as an overseas technician installing production lines for various companies all over the world.

Shortly before the pandemic hit, Spiros and Mel were looking at starting afresh. Besides, Spiros says he’d had enough of Sydney’s “rat race”. Both decided to join Bill on the holiday strip.

Rather than going into semi-retirement, 58-year-old Bill joined his two sons in starting up a small sandblasting business from scratch. Despite having no local contacts on the Gold Coast, their fastidious work ethic

124

DEALS New DEALS Profile

Fuso Shogun 460 – one of two doing the hard yards on the Gold Coast

soon brought requests for extra work for their newly named business, Alpha Omega Excavations.

“We were doing driveways and people were asking, ‘do you do landscaping?’, ‘what about decks?’,” Spiros reflects.

“So, we started doing a few decks, hired a little excavator and I thought, ‘there’s a market up here’.”

However, the work soon outgrew Alpha Omega’s little Fuso Canter. They needed something larger.

Bill has owned a variety of second-hand trucks over the years during his years of running tipper haulage and excavations out of Sydney. He’d always leaned towards

European brands, particularly Volvo, so that seemed the obvious choice.

“I've had probably about 15 Volvos in my life … maybe more,” Bill says. “The oldest one I had was a G88; that was a 1970 model.

“I’ve had a couple of Americans, they’re beautiful trucks but they’re just rough, no turning circle. And they’re not cheap.”

With second-hand trucks in high demand, forking out around $200,000 for a Volvo that’s already done a million kilometres did not seem an economical proposition.

The Flogeras family began entertaining the option of buying something new. But, as is the case in the current climate, ordering a truck is the easy part; taking delivery is another matter.

They initially approached UD and Hino.

Bill’s preference is for six-rod suspension, although he liked the disc brakes and eight air bag suspension on the UDs but baulked at the price difference. And there was the usual problem of supply delays.

Riding on air Their next stop was Daimler Trucks Gold Coast where they met up with the branch’s south-east Queensland fleet account manager, Jon Hamilton who introduced them to a 460 Shogun.

“I wasn't into Japanese trucks,” Bill says.

“But Fuso is owned by Mercedes-Benz, and their drivelines now are Detroit engines and Mercedes drivelines. I said I’d give it a run and was so impressed with it.”

Jon also explained to Bill the benefits of air ride suspension.

“In the tipping game six rod is always – they're better. They don’t get bogged, you can tip one axle in a ditch and the other one out compared to the air bag.

“Then Jon convinced me the new air ride system that they have is pretty much like a Mercedes-Benz. And he was right.

“It’s a better ride obviously and more comfortable. And that's why we went back because my mentality was all my tippers over the years were rod suspension.”

While Jon Hamilton was educating the Flogeras clan on the merits of the Fuso Shogun, Bill offered Jon a few tips on building the right body for their line of work. The first 460 Shogun was sent to a local body builder, but the hefty price and workmanship quality left a little to be desired. They made the decision that any future bodies would be ordered, designed and built further south,

namely M&S Truck Bodies in the NSW Illawarra region and AA Diesel Truck Bodies in Dandenong, Victoria.

The 460 was followed by another 460 and a 510. A fourth Fuso arrived a couple of months ago, but not the 460 they had initially planned on. Again, with an eye on waiting time, an opportunity arrived when a 510 tipper, on display at the Brisbane Truck Show in May, became available.

“Jon removed the bull bar as we wanted to keep our image consistent with our other Fusos and the bull bar was more than we required,” Spiros continues.

He also makes a point of saying that the four Shoguns are also united in cleanliness, getting a thorough wash each week.

“They’re a great advertisement,” he says.

“You drive them around and you’re basically advertising the company, that’s why we keep them in good nick. It's worth it, it's like paying for marketing and advertising.”

13/10/2023 10:20 am

However, cleanliness is but one part of Alpha Omega’s growing and glowing reputation.

“Listening to the customers, all of them had complaints about guys with machines and trucks would turn up late, or ring you at the last minute with, ‘sorry, we can't come’.,” Bill says. “They were cheaper than us in the hourly rates, but they didn't get what we gave.”

On show It has been a quick learning curve for Bill, Spiros and Mel, starting a new business from scratch in a different city. In preparation, Spiros says they studied the market to look to see what they could do different to their competitors while sticking to their values.

“Turn up early, have your trucks always clean, presentation, a good work ethic,

reliability, be loyal to your customers … things like that,” he says.

“Since then, we've attended for flood recovery work with various councils, we're on the Gold Coast light rail project at the moment too, and everyone's really happy with our work and our trucks.

“The benefit for our company is that we always keep our trucks in really good nick.

You get a lot of companies just wanting our trucks to be on their site, because we’re very professional.”

That professionalism extends to whoever sits in the driver’s seat. So, when it comes to hiring, it’s a case of finding the right person for the job, as Bill explains following their latest recruitment process.

“We went through about 10 different interviews,” he says. “It's really hard, they’ve

128

DOW 498 122-129 DP Alpha Omega.indd 128

13/10/2023 10:20 am

DEALS New DEALS Profile

all got a truck licence but a lot of them don’t know how to drive tippers.”

“They have to be trainable as well,” Spiros chips in. “We set it to a certain standard.

This is our procedure, this is our training, so we want you to act a certain way and be professional, pretty much tier one drivers.

“Everyone’s like, ‘you’re just a truck driver’, but it's actually really hard to operate a truck on site. And there's just so much involved which people don't realise, like traffic control, communication, tipping in the correct spot, positioning the truck to get loaded with different machines, you know, just things like that.

“We want to make truck driving pretty much an art form,” Spiros states.

Meanwhile, Bill has temporarily shelved any plans for taking it easy, although he has

his eyes on a new specced-up MercedesBenz Actros that is soon to enter the Daimler Trucks Gold Coast showroom. He views it as his possible “retirement truck”.

Spiros, however, doesn’t share the same enthusiasm. “If he wants to retire in it, fine. You can live in it pretty much. It's got beds and fridges and microwaves – take it camping if you like,” he smiles, adding that it could find a home in their existing small fleet as a truck and dog.

“That’s a fair compromise but it would look nice. It would look like a show truck.”

That would be a big jump for Alpha Omega Excavations, but due to the growth of the business, it’s not out of the question.

“Where we've come from, when we started in the last two years, anything is possible,” Spiros says. “It’s been a journey.”

Mel, Bill and Spiros are regular visitors to the Daimler Trucks Gold Coast dealership

i-Team ANZ’s distribution rights of Orbot cleaning machines gives the Australian and New Zealand cleaning market a new tech boost

Clean sweep Ausco Modular’s Leonardo Elevated Work Platform in use on site

Highs and lows Ausco Modular, an Australian manufacturer and installer of portable modular buildings, has made its manufacturing and hire operations safer and more efficient with new equipment from Toyota Material Handling Australia Ausco Modular recently decided to purchase 10 new TMHA Leonardo EWPs (Elevated Work Platforms) and four TMHA ride-on sweepers for its four manufacturing facilities across Australia, making the switch from more traditional ladders and mobile scaffolding in a move it says will improve worker efficiency and safety.

Leonardo EWPs Ausco Modular National Operations and Fleet Manager David Leditschke praised the Leonardo EWPs for their manoeuvrability.

“They do the job for us, they’re good in tight spaces, they’re safe, they add a level of efficiency to our processes and the feedback from the guys that use them is really good as well, which is really important,” he says.

“The fact that it is flexible and you can do tasks at different heights just by using a machine rather than going up and down and changing ladders is a real time saver.

Adopting the new TMHA EWPs also improves safety outcomes for Ausco, with the increased size and complexity of modern modular buildings requiring more stringent safety measures.

“Especially these days, the scope of modular buildings is becoming more complex - higher, heavier, more complicated with materials used so this product adds a level of safety

and efficiency to our manufacturing operations,” Leditschke says.

“In the hire yards we have to maintain our fleet of 10,000 hire buildings nationally... these EWPs give us the same sort of efficiencies that the factories get.”

TMHA Ride-on Sweepers Ausco also decided to purchase four TMHA ride-on sweepers which have helped the business save on time and manpower, while also ensuring a clean and safe working area.

“We’ve also bought some sweepers recently from TMHA, the ride-on sweepers for our branches and the guys like them just as much (as the EWPs),” Leditschke says.

“Once again it’s an efficiency game. On a Friday afternoon having three blokes on a broom for two hours sweeping up the workshop as opposed to one guy jumping on a sweeper and having it done in 40 minutes, the sweepers have brought an efficiency to the place.

“And there’s also a safety aspect; the floors are clean and there’s no hazards.”

For more on the Leonardo EWP range and the TMHA ride-on sweepers, visit www.toyotamaterialhandling. com.au or contact Ausco Modular for temporary, permanent and portable buildings solutions.

Commercial cleaning products company i-Team ANZ will distribute the Orbot machinery range in Australia and New Zealand.

Designed for small to medium-sized spaces and to handle different floor types, the Orbot cleaning range will be uniquely distributed in Australia by i-team ANZ. i-Team director Tim Pugh says the exclusive distribution deal will help his company offer customers “the most innovative and efficient cleaning and restoration solutions available.”

The i-Team ANZ Orbot range offers three models to the local market:

Orbot SLiM This machine is engineered to “effortlessly manoeuvre through tight spaces” due to its compact design and multiple attachment features.

It has a lever-free on/off switch for hands free cleaning, a low-moisture spray jet, integrated LED lights and an 11-inch freefloating base for complete floor contact.

With a 36V lithium-ion battery, the Orbot SLiM has an average run time of 45 minutes (depending on floor and pad) and offers quick solution change over with a 90 minute charge time.

Orbot SprayBorg Designed for deep cleaning and intensive restoration tasks, the Orbot SprayBorg is used to combat stains in residential, commercial and industrial cleaning.

Designed for heavy-duty work with its 1hp engine and 90psi pressure pump, the Orbot SprayBorg can increase the pressure with adjustable spray jets and added weights on its 17-inch floating base.

Orbot Vibe Engineered to provide floor scrubbing and polishing, the Orbot Vibe aims for “impeccable floor maintenance” with its adjustable frame and ability to dispense a “high-gloss” clear coat protection.

All machines include Orbot’s “dual-action orbital technology” that uses orbital vibration and rotational cleaning rather than the one-direction scrubbing found on standard industry cleaners.

Care.

It’s what we do.

At Isuzu, we’ve always taken great care of our customers.

We’re Australia’s number one truck… an honour we’ve held for over three decades.

That means more businesses put their trust in us than any other truck brand.

We understand that reputations are riding on us and that’s why Isuzu Care is more than just an aftersales service package.

It’s part of our DNA. From day one, we support customers and demonstrate that reliability is everything. We pride ourselves on being proactive and always going the extra mile.

And as we look to new frontiers, we’re finding new ways to help our customers exceed their goals.

Isuzu Care is what sets us apart.

Always has, always will.
