Hi all, can anyone recommend a trucking magazine the majority of drivers read or follow on social media?
I am trying to get help to drivers with work diaries and common issues. I want to deliver this free for drivers if I can.
Thanks in advance.

Eligible concrete agitator drivers can continue to record idle time spent in a stationary vehicle while the engine is running as a ‘short work break’, under the upcoming National Heavy Vehicle Concrete Agitator Work and Rest Hours Exemption Notice 2022 (No 1).

The renewed exemption notice comes into effect on 1 January 2022 and will allow concrete agitator drivers to take 30 minute ‘short work breaks’ in blocks of 15 continuous minutes while they are sitting in the driver’s seat of a loaded truck and not working. ⏰

Massive issue in the industry!
companies create policies because the law says they need to but do they actually work?
In most cases the answer is no.
Companies talk to your people on the ground, find out what works and what doesn't. Engage a professional to help you!
The extra time will reap huge financial rewards in the short and long term!

I constantly hear bad stories about people getting taken for rides, given poor service, poor products and poor information. Why hire an ametuer who will end up costing you more in the long run because the job was never done correctly to start with?

Don't do what so many others do. Learn from others mistakes. Spend a little more, gain a lot more and end up spending less because the job was done right the first time. Hire a pro, ask to see their qualifications and proof of experience, ask for references.

Keep it shiny side up and make those miles.
