Truckie Tuesday: The NHVR Boss In Rod's Cab, And Fighting A Ticket
Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie spent a day in Rod Hannifey's truck out of Dubbo, and Rod had a list of about 32 questions waiting. Back on Truckie Tuesday she answers the one drivers ask most: is the regulator out to get them? She says education with drivers is up, and that the hard end of enforcement is for repeat, high-risk operators with years of breaches, some of them on their fourteenth letter. Not mudguards. Rod still thinks the fines are too high for anything that isn't a safety breach. She also covers sham contracting and why an EWD on its own won't solve fatigue. If trucking wants more women behind the wheel, she says the first fix is toilets and showers. Before that, Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law on whether to pay a ticket, fight it or ask for a review. Angus wins Where's Rodney. To ask the NHVR to review one of its fines, email Prosecutions.Support@nhvr.gov.au and allow 42 days.
