It’s time to show Australia how the trucking industry delivers with the launch of TruckWeek 2016, a national week of trucking industry events from 29 August – 4 September 2016.

Co-ordinated by the Australian Trucking Association every two years, TruckWeek encourages businesses and individuals across Australia to raise the profile of the trucking industry and celebrate its achievements by holding an event in their local area.

ATA Chair Noelene Watson said TruckWeek was a great opportunity to build ties between trucking operators and the community.

“The trucking industry delivers every item on the shelves of every shopping centre – your food, your clothes, and even your mobile phone arrived by truck,” Mrs Watson said.

“Our skilled drivers, mechanics and administration staff work safely and professionally to deliver the goods Australians buy and use every day.

“TruckWeek 2016 is our chance to celebrate the trucking industry and the people who work in it. I encourage everyone in the industry to be part of this celebration by hosting an event in their area, and by registering it online as part of TruckWeek 2016.

“The national TruckWeek website, www.truckweek.com.au, has a host of great ideas for possible events.

“It’s free to participate – there’s no fee, no fundraising, just a genuine connection with our communities.

“The ATA will promote each event through the TruckWeek website, the media and social media. By participating, you’ll help raise the profile of the trucking industry and your business,” she said.
