The TruckSafe safety accreditation program is proud to welcome its newest accredited member, Unanderra Tanker Hire (NSW).
Unanderra Tanker Hire specialises in the transport of bulk chemicals and liquid waste products throughout metro and regional NSW, and also operates along the eastern seaboard from Queensland to Victoria.
Starting life as a single truck operation 30 years ago, the Unanderra Tanker Hire fleet now ranges from rigid tankers through to semi-trailer and b-double configurations.
JJ Wiedl, the Director of Unanderra Tanker Hire, said the company was proud of its ability to be flexible and to put customer needs first.
“Unanderra Tanker Hire is family owned and operated, with family members involved with driving, compliance and depot maintenance. Our company is based on family values which provide low employee turnover and a customer focused operation,” Mr Wiedl said.
“By joining TruckSafe, we aim to improve our services, safety, systems and image, as well as align ourselves with industry bodies and companies who are all working to improve the trucking industry.
“We’ve recently taken over our own maintenance, and now have our own workshop and facilities. TruckSafe helps us make sure our maintenance and compliance is all up to standard.”
The Chief Executive of the Australian Trucking Association, Stuart St Clair, said TruckSafe accredited businesses were some of Australia’s safest.
“At a time when communities are seeking reassurance of the safety performance of our heavy vehicles, it’s great to see companies like Unanderra Tanker Hire putting safety first,” Mr St Clair said.
“We’re proud of our TruckSafe operators, and that’s why you can find the full list of accredited operators on the TruckSafe website.
“TruckSafe accredited businesses go above and beyond the safety standards required of them by law. They join because they care about having safe vehicles on our roads.”
