Welcome The WA Long Distance Owners and Drivers Association was formed in response to a number of concerns by Truck Drivers about the future of the transport industry in WA. Nearly everything we buy in the shops comes by road so it makes perfect sense to protect the industry and the truckies who are an essential part of it. The Association is committed to promoting professionalism, quality and safety in the industry. It has been formally recognized by the WA Minister for Transport and has been appointed a position on the Ministerial Road Freight Transport Committee. When the new legislation is passed, we will be appointed to sit on the Tribunal and/or the Council. The Association has successfully lobbied the government who has agreed to make substantial changes to legislation regarding the transport industry. We have organized a rally at Parliament House that received extensive media coverage and was attended by more than 300 truck drivers. We were also instrumental in the introduction of the Owner Driver Act. This act is set-up to give owner drivers a fair go and proper recovery of our costs. We encourage you to save YOUR industry! YOUR Voice will make a difference! Become a member NOW by clicking on the ‘Join’ page!  Photo courtesy of Bryan Martin (Boab Haulage NT Pty Ltd) |
