Johannesburg,South Africa

The FleetWatch Call to Action campaign has had many positive spin-offs with one company, TSE Big Max, adopting and taking the campaign to its fleet owner, operator and workshop manager customer base by hosting an on-site Maintenance Indaba at its premises in Johannesburg. It was all the right stuff writes Patrick O’Leary.

The Call to Action went out from FleetWatch and was answered by some 350 truckers and suppliers who arrived at the Shongweni Truck, Car and Outdoor Show ready and willing to make a difference to South Africa’s horrendous road safety record. “We have to take things into our own hands and lead South Africa into a new era of road safety,” was the call to which the trucking industry responded. FleetWatch lifts its hat to each and every person who attended.

Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Shirley Bassey, Elton John, Sting and many other famous musicians have all performed in the Sun City Superbowl. Now it was the turn of a truck, the UD Quon, to take to the stage and wow the audience. And so it did writes Patrick O’Leary.
