THE Victorian Transport Association (VTA) has announced its support for the launch of TruckWeek being held 21-27 February 2010.
“The VTA is proud to be involved in TruckWeek, we are encouraging our members to get involved and want to spread the word to the wider community,” VTA chief executive, Philip Lovel says.
According to the VTA, the TruckWeek will aim to highlight the importance of the industry and its employees, the careers available and how the industry can improve road safety.
“The Transport and Logistics industry is critical to the economic growth and sustainability of Australia’s economy. It provides a vital service, moving people and freight locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, using a variety of modes,” Lovel says.
“Research shows that the Victorian industry will need almost 15,000 extra workers over the next three years. It’s time to get the facts straight and support this vital industry.”
