ATA encourages trucking businesses to get active during TruckWeek 2012 to promote the industry
June 20, 2012
Trucking operators are being asked to get active in August when TruckWeek 2012 kicks off to promote the industry, and a new website has been launched to help them.
Organised by the Australian Trucking Association (ATA), the annual TruckWeek event, which will run from August 19 to 25 this year, aims to highlight the importance of the industry and promote road safety.
The ATA says the newly-launched TruckWeek website has suggested events companies can run in August to raise the industry’s profile.
“I urge every trucking operator to visit the national TruckWeek website, have a look at our ideas and then register an event,” ATA Chairman David Simon says.
“You will benefit by promoting your business, and the whole industry will benefit from the profile created by the myriad of events across the country.”
The website lists events such as barbecues, an awards ceremony, hosting a politician and visiting a local school.
Simon says the ATA will promote events through the website, the media and its dedicated TruckWeek Twitter feed @TruckWeek.
