Three scholarships for Trucking Australia

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

Three people have the chance to share their safety or business suggestions at Trucking Australia in Darwin through 2017 Cummins South Pacific Scholarships.

The competition is open to all Australian trucking operators and their employees.

Submit in 100 words or less what you think could be done to improve safety or business viability in the trucking industry, and what you would bring to the table at Trucking Australia 2017 and its theme of preparing for the future.

The best three entries receive a trip to Trucking Australia, including one full delegate registration, three nights’ standard accommodation at an appropriate hotel and one return economy air fare to Darwin from any Australian capital city.

“I urge everyone who has a great idea about how to improve the industry’s safety to apply for one of these scholarships and share these ideas with the world,” Cummins South Pacific on-highway sales and support manager Scott Alexander says.

“Although these scholarships are open for all Australian trucking operators and their employees, we particularly encourage those who are in ATA member associations to apply.

“These applicants will also be also eligible to attend Belinda Moore’s special workshop on ‘the future of membership’, which has priority access for members of the ATA,” Alexander says.

Email entries to ataevents@truck.net.au by 5pm Canberra time on May 31.

Winners will be announced in the ATA’s Friday Facts newsletter on June 9.
Trucking Australia is on June 21-23 at the Darwin Convention Centre.

Go to truck.net.au to view full terms and conditions.
