Registrations have opened for Trucking Australia 2017, which will be held for the first time in Darwin from June 21-23 2017.
This national event gives operators, industry members and state associations the chance to participate in developing the trucking industry’s policy plans and priorities.
Program topics this year include preparing for the future, ensuring safety, maintaining industry viability and a chain of responsibility obligations.
“At TA 2017 we aim to listen to state and industry led member associations and will build on their knowledge and to our overall membership offering,” ATA chief executive officer, Ben Maguire, says.
The event’s aim is to facilitate constructive forums for operators to express their views and actively participate in shaping the trucking industry’s policy agenda.
“Post-event feedback will highlight attendee input and is key to seeing the outcomes of discussions turned into industry action plans,” Maguire adds.
Many sessions include panel discussions and open forums so that the flow of information is two-way and allows for the best exchange of current issues and potential solutions.
The chain of responsibility due diligence training is a formal two hour professional development course giving attendants a full understanding of their obligation in chain of responsibility, and a certificate of attendance.
TA 2017 includes working lunches and a formal dinner, with awards, an auction and a gala night with opportunities to relax and network with other industry members.
The National Trucking Industry Awards will recognise achievements of members across several categories.
TruckSafe will also acknowledge long-standing members, while the Kenworth Legends Lunch will provide insights from the industry over the decades.
