- Sky News Business Reporter Ed Boyd says the transport sector "is stuck in first gear" due to a lack of drivers, constant COVID testing, high beef and lamb prices and a massive demand for freight services.
"It threatens Australia's economic bounce-back," Mr Boyd said.
Robert Cavanagh, of trucking businesses Cavanagh's Transport and Stockmaster, spoke to Sky News Australia about how business has been impacted in recent times.
"We've seen probably a 25 per cent decline in our business in the last 18 months," Mr Cavanagh said.
ABOLISH JAB MANDATES !!
No jab No job No transport industry
Australia stops
@Robert Walton He should, He might be next on the menu if society collapses!
Can not wait when all this shit collapsed
ABOLISH JAB MANDATE!
I am a highly experienced road train driver, I am deliberately only working part time doing local runs simply due to all the Covid madness. I have no interest in getting tested every three days, showing my papers at the border and wearing a mask like I am a diseased rodent. The more rules they bring in the less I will work, if that means I never step into a truck again then so be it.
Good for you 🙏
Yeah I’d quit. None of that in WA thankfully.
My husband is the same 38 years and sick of the crap. He is preparing to walk away
@@buticks6388 Plenty are planning that, even more would if they could afford it. 25 years in a truck on and off for me, zero offences, zero accidents and I now just really don't give a shit.
@@ajs4x482 some of us atleast if not all are with you buddy. you need break this nation open and leave us without our toilet paper i think many will understand far more then you realise. btch and moan people might but you stand for what you believe in we will stand with you on it no matter how begrudgingly. compliance is not an option for much longer
I'll bet the lamb and beef is sent to countries who get it for a cheaper price than what Aussies pay for it.
Most dangerous job in Australia and on top of that you can be fined huge amounts of money for just doing your job. Why would anyone want to it anymore.
Yes and like that everywhere not just you guys.
20 years driving and that’s a big reason why I quit a year ago
@@mrchuckington6260 same, was working for a company that had shocking maintenance, they wanted me to sign a peice of paper every day to say their trucks where safe. On top of their crap I had to deal with transport, heavens forbid you forget to date or sign your log book.
Yep, that log book can bankrupt a novice
Transport sector 'stuck at first jab'.
There's a 26 year old trucker and he said the next youngest trucker in his company was aged 50
This whole situation here in Victoria is beyond ridiculous :(
So far beyond ridiculous we couldn't see ridiculous with a telescope. 🤔
Australia gradually turning into Venezuela.
Let’s Go Brandon!!!!!
This is an issue entirely of the bosses making by not giving young blokes a start because of insurance premiums. I was turned away by stock master because I had no cattle experience even after driving interstate for 3 years. Even now with 12 years interstate experience stock carters still turn you away!!
Chin up
Things happen for a reason. It must be a blessing in disguise. Give it a bit of time.✨
The ONLY threat is the government and the media. The ONLY reason truckies are unable to deliver, is the worthless regulations that government has imposed, for ZERO, legitimate reasons.
Stop requiring stupid ineffective “medical solutions” and let people make their own choices
Driver's are stepping down due to the jab.
Drivers are getting old and there aren’t new drivers to replace them. Nothing to do with Covid.
@@iDrive123 Wayne didn't say covid. He said THE JAB!
@@Detroit8V92tta Which is Covid related is it not?
@@iDrive123 No, it's about a poisonous injection. You're wangling Wayne's words and you fkn know it.
@@Detroit8V92tta State of the transport industry has nothing to do with Covid OR the jab. This has been building up for years. Ageing workforce and no new drivers getting into the industry = driver shortages.
Trucks stop, Australia stops. There's always a truckng way around this thing

I am respect myself enough not to have a vial of poison in order to have a job.
Can go without a beer in a pub too...
I will wait it out instead.
$150k a year means 300 days a year away from Home…
Yes no life for a truck driver just work and dealing with car drivers that should not have a license ,fines from transport and copers and bosses that are haft crazy….
150k must be owner driver, I've been on 150k half went to the government, 90k pays better
@Waldo W im guessing they leant left
@@t-dog8528 100 percent been there it's not worth it pay a thousand bucks a week in tax to feed bastards that won't work
@@oldbill3900 yep i was on 4200 pw paid 2000 a week in tax being dido work it wasnt 52 weeks p.a only 26 weeks week on week off but still alot of tax in fact too much as 154k p.a supporting 6 of us plus a mortgage didn't go far
It's the same in the UK to. Nobody had truck tests in over 6 months because of lockdowns.
Alot of these businesses have nothing but semi's and B-doubles, they need to pull their fingers out and run an HR rigid truck and train people up themselves instead of waiting for someone else to wipe their bottoms for them.
It's just two weeks.. 🙄
I have been watching the job ads for a while and the listings went berserk when the no-jab-no-job mandate came into force in Victoria. Prestigious industry big-names and all, were looking for drivers for "immediate start". The other thing I noticed was a big increase in the mix'n'match of prime movers and trailers. Everyone pulling everyone else's trailers in a bid to keep things moving. Desperate times for many operators, methinks.
You just won the comments. Well said👍
Mix n match is also because businesses are going under so they get cheap trailers
@@t-dog8528 I think it is a workaround to combat driver (un)availability. Operators are probably calling in favours from their networks. For failed businesses, you see the ex-fleet trailers going through the auctions first.
@@jonathanrabbitt it'd be a combination, general freight and longhaul seem to be impacted more at the moment, the construction and landscape industries seem to be ok for now but once steel is hit we'll probably see the aggregate and roadbase haulers hit too but i doubt they'll be carting each others trailers, next 12 to 24 months will be interesting, half considering going all out jabbed and go for gold on profiting but i dunno if i could live with myself
@@jonathanrabbitt you're right on unavailability too, we're struggling to find experienced tnd drivers good work no mud carting lol fertiliser decorative stone and ags great work but can't just throw anyone in a seat because the risk of damage is too high.
No jab boys and girls
lockdown ports = scarcity psyop
Like these guys discuss-

Look at most transport companies and their prerequisite are minimum 3 years MC driving. So how do you find MC drivers jobs when nobody want to take on someone who has just got their MC or HC license. This is the problem . No transport company wants to take on a newly licensed driver because they don’t want 500k worth of truck and trailers + the load on its side . But without transport companies taking on new drivers they won’t ever have drivers. Good old catch 22 situation. Yes it’s the best job in the world, except for the police, heavy vehicle compliance officers, caravans and non existent dedicated heavy vehicle road side amenities.
It’s easier now than it used to be. I had heaps of trouble until I moved to WA. Currently driving a quad side tipper.
Exactly right mate wouldn’t wish the job on anyone…
Do what England did, hire crims. Funny news in GB intervened a truck driver ex con. Had been done smuggling drugs across the border. But he's a good boy now. Or drop the no jab no pay.
the world government of the antichrist is near to the doors but believing in Jesus Christ we have salvation
and eternal life .. believing by faith. believe where you are. physical temples or people, money, religions,
beliefs, images, pictures, objects or anything else does not save only Jesus Christ
read in the holy bible . Romans 10: 9 and 10,John 14: 6,John 11:25,John 1:12,John 3:16
Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2: 8 and 9, Acts 2:21
This is the time for all govt to stop the dole. No one in Australia right now needs to be on the dole.
Really ? In Victoria the real unemployment is between 30% and 50%. Why do you think that Labor gang is so excited about "vaccinations" ? Because they have no other means to cling to power, that's why. Take "covid" away from them, and the population will immediately see that the Fuhrer and his sidekicks are "naked kings". Stop the dole - and the angry mob will run to Spring Street and throw the whole bunch of politicians out of the windows.
What they want is you do all the yard work but no truck driving
Pay attention in just one hour this world will undergo transformation Read Zephaniah chapter 2 verse 2, 3,
The problem is all these companies want EXPERIENCED drivers.
You can’t just get the HC licence and go for gold

I love the reporter's accent event though I don't understand what he's saying.

The cro vid crisis?
might be that Bell's palsy? in effect?
I am now a retired truck driver at 66, $150,000 P.A. might sound good but, you are away from home a lot, you have to live on roadhouse food, you have to work all sorts of hours, get hassled by the police and all sorts other government bodies, out of that $150,000 you will have to pay maybe $50,000 in income tax, the list goes on and on. Trucking was a great job when I started but maybe I am now just old and tired but the last day that I climbed out of the truck cab and closed the door was a great day and I have not looked back since then.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
Amos 8:11-12

Small and medium businesses should move underground and create a parallel economy.
I have 30 years experience in the transport industry , aprentiship mechanic to running 15 trucks, i, had 5 of my own for 20 years and didn't go broke ,
I got out 5 years ago, because I got with fed up with over zealous police, ( we had pulled you up , now we have to find something wrong to get are $ 1000 bucks,
and transport inspectors ,with no transport experience, that have
been through a 6 week course,
Trying to in force rules they don't know,
Get out was the best decision I ever made,

My first investment with Mr Anthony Brian gave me the assurance that have made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends involved with him already
Find out what the navy are giving their people and share it with the truckies. I would not put up with a covid test 3/4 times a week. Train drivers, give young people a start and make it like an apprenticeship.
I would love to help in anyway
If the manufacturer that I work for mandates the jab I might have to come work as a truckie if they will have me.
I would ask for the 50% cheap rate.
