From bushfires and a global pandemic to lockdowns and a national truck law review, 2020 has been a significant year for the trucking industry, who have been tried and tested. but come out on top.
Boosted by the support of our members and industry, the ATA was able to deliver great achievements for trucking in the face of adversity.
With our industry hit hard by the bushfires and the pandemic, it was our job to make sure industry members on the road, in the office and at the depot received the support and recognition they deserved.
A big issue was maintaining driver access to facilities at truck stops, distribution centres and customer sites. Together with our members, we campaigned hard to keep facilities open and engaged with governments to ensure these businesses adopted the national protocol to allow truck facilities and dining to remain open.
