Delegates at the 2012 Australian Trucking Convention will hear from Steve Ousley, Australia Post’s Executive General Manager Mail Services, who will give a keynote presentation on how Australia Post is seizing new opportunities in online shopping and the digital economy to offset the decline in letter volumes, which is affecting postal services worldwide.
The 10 February 2012 issue of the Friday Facts leads with the ATA’s call to slash B-double registration charges, but that’s not all. It reports on a new survey that shows one in three truck drivers have reduced their usual driving speed since 2009.
Australia’s transport ministers should slash the registration charges on B-doubles from $15,708 to $10,995 per year, the Chief Executive of the ATA, Stuart St Clair, said today.
