Sometimes we need to think outside the box to find solutions for our customers. Using what we had laying around our yard we came up with a plan to fit these two gantry cranes onto one load Help cut costs for our customer.

We are on the brink of breaking the backbone of Australia.

Right now this country has around 26 days of diesel left in reserve. We have 28,000 unfilled truck driver positions.

Nearly half the current driver workforce is over 55 years old. The next generation is not coming through.

The web that holds this nation together is fraying thread by thread and most Australians have no idea.

So let me walk you through what happens when trucks stop.

🔴 DAY 1 to 3
Supermarket shelves begin to empty. Supermarkets carry roughly 10 days of dry goods and about 7 days of frozen and fresh. Panic buying cuts that in half overnight.

We saw it with COVID. We see it right now with the fuel panic already hitting regional stations across the country.

🔴 WEEK 1
Fresh produce gone. Meat gone. Dairy gone. Hospitals burn through their 3 day medication buffer.

Fuel stations in regional and remote areas run dry first. Communities like those along the Perth to Alice Springs corridor get cut off. No fuel in means no food out.

🔴 WEEK 2
Construction stops. No materials moving means no sites running. Manufacturing lines shut down because components stopped arriving.

🔴 WEEK 3 to 4
Farms start to fail. Livestock trucks are not moving. Animals are suffering. Fertiliser is not arriving.

The food that was growing in the ground starts to stay there because there is nobody to move it and no fuel to run the cold chain that keeps it alive.

The Grattan Institute confirmed the Strait of Hormuz crisis has already pushed diesel and petrol prices up 70 percent for some operators.

Transport companies are parking trucks right now because they cannot absorb the cost.

🔴 BEYOND 4 WEEKS
The country fractures. Remote communities are already living this. The Lismore floods showed us what weeks without trucks looks like.
Shelves stayed empty for up to 4 months.

That was one region. Scale that nationally and you have a humanitarian crisis on Australian soil.

Australia moves 70 per cent of all freight by road. There is no backup plan. Rail cannot absorb it.

There is no reserve fleet sitting idle. There is no government emergency driver pool.

The backbone of this nation is a truck driver.

And right now that backbone is being systematically broken by underpayment, overregulation, an ageing workforce nobody is replacing, a fuel crisis Canberra refuses to take seriously, and a government more focused on a 30 year submarine plan than a 30 day diesel reserve.

Once the web breaks, Australia breaks.

Not in theory. In weeks.
