Trucking the information highway...
While internet shopping is widely accepted, there is
still some hesitation when it comes to purchasing a truck or a
trailer on line.
Andrew Parker learns
how a South African company tied up with a manufacturer in China,
resulting in the signing of two orders for seriously heavy-duty
trailers.

An idiotic notion...
Following on from last month’s story
titled Outrage at DoT Proposal around the reduction of the
single rear axle mass load from 9 000 kg to 8 000 kg on
all secondary roads, FleetWatch correspondent,
Max Braun, who has over 50 years experience in the
industry, gives his thoughts on the issue. He, like many
in the industry, is angry. |

Showcasing your business...
The 2010 FIFA World Cup will present an ideal
opportunity to show the world just how professional we as an
industry can be and how proud we are to own and operate the best
looking and best maintained truck fleets across the length and
breadth of Africa. But there is work to do to achieve that status
writes Andrew Parker. |

A
Good First Impression...
East and West came together at Gerotek to launch a new

Brake & Tyre Watch

Cape
forklift operators are best...
The recent 2009 Ciltsa National Forklift Truck
Driver of the Year competition was a great success but, as
Andrew
Parker finds out
after talking to some of the organisers, there is still much
to be done in the industry in terms of training. Pretty much
the same as trucking we’d say.
