Just my opinion…
Employer groups claim truck drivers are paid too much money. Okay here are the numbers- Start shift at 4 pm. End shift at 6 am Five shifts per week. 70 hours for $1800 We will subsidise your “free shipping.”
Unless you are a long distance truck driver….. No Penalty Rates for you! Supported by Albo’s union buddies ….
Everyone deserves fair pay for giving up their weekend. That’s why we’re locking in penalty rate protections for 2.6 million workers.
Incompetence doesn’t discriminate.
Parliament has returned, and for the first time, 56% of Labor MPs are women.
Long distance truckdrivers have not received weekend penalty rates for over 30 years.
Labor has just introduced legislation to protect your penalty rates.
I noticed the new wage Theft Laws have not made a scrap of difference. @TonySheldonNSW @GlennSterle @fairwork_gov_au
Insurance companies have to sign off on this technology before it gets released into the wild…… DOT will need to have the tools to manage driverless trucks at weight stations…… I dont see these things being addressed for decades yet…. @TimothyDooner @GordMagill
American Workers Need to Unite! Soon! They claim any rig can go full robot in under 6 months.
Police were just following orders! Thats how it starts, with Ordinary Men following orders…read the book “Ordinary Men”
Remember during the height of the covid hysteria when they arrested, tackled to the ground, and handcuffed a man for swimming in the ocean at Bondi? It turns out the arrest was illegal, and the "seriously corrupt" Gladys Berejeklian NSW Government (taxpayers) paid the man…
The Truckies trick of the trade…..
#PowerNap When you're fighting to keep your eyes open while driving a microsleep, it is only a blink away. It is time to power nap and arrive alive. Why ignore the warning signs of driver fatigue? A 15-20 minute power nap is your driver fatigue solution.
We have the same problem in Australia where police want to identify drug users, but nobody is interested in going after the people causing the need to use drugs. For example, sit in Sydney all day waiting and then drive all night.
Representative Crawford introduces legislation for hair testing American truck drivers. Meanwhile our highways are flooded with non-citizens from Canada, Mexico, and all over the third world. Do you think the Non-Citizens will be hair tested or just the Americans? Freight X…
So America wants to enforce hair follicle testing to identify drug users? Nobody is interested in finding the reasons why truckdrivers continue to use drugs.
Hair follicle testing is like the ELD Mandate or a driver facing camera - it’s just more surveillance tech which does nothing to address incentive structures beneath poor driving behavior and exceeding HOS, and also does nothing to address the employ of low quality drivers.
Australia seems uninterested in Visa enabled Immigrants to work as Contractors with ABN’s, who earn less than minimum standard wages. Thus allowing large companies to reduce operating costs and UNDERCUT contracts held by good companies doing the right thing.
I agree with the sentiment of this meme, but the reality is that the bosses are often subcontractors or small business owners who are co-ethnic to the undocumented workers they hire, thus insulating the stereotypical fat cat on the right who (sometimes) uses the subcontractors.
I concur!
All the safety tech in the world advertised by utter fucking shitheads like Volvo doesn't mean anything if the quality level of driver has been debased to whatever 85 IQ idiots you can convince the government to put behind the wheel instead of a professional.
Fatigue is something that creeps up on you….Know the signs before it hits…
How will you manage your driver fatigue today? #PowerNap A 15-20 minute solution in real time when fatigue strikes on your journey. @theoztrucker @trevthetruckie @NHVR
Australia too or similar…
Overseas bad actors set up shady trucking companies in the US, hiring drivers via Facebook, then communicating with those driver via Telegram. If one of their drivers gets in a wreck, they shut the company down, and use another MC number they purchased off of Facebook.…
Never had a flu shot. Maybe had flu-like symptoms two or three times in the last 10 years. My immune system is doing fine, thank you.
Just 16% of children in Queensland under five have had a flu jab so far this year under Health Minister @TimNichollsMP & Premier @DavidCrisafulli — the lowest in the country 🙄 Both of them asleep at the wheel on preventative health… abc.net.au/news/2025-07-0…
