I saw that show and it was a sham. They always pick and highlight someone who can't speak properly and in this instance just stands up and screams "the gumment should get off their *** and do sumthin". A 10 minute slot on 60 mins is not long enough. That show was chopped up so bad it was a waste of airtime. And when are the drivers going to "get off their asses" and tell the transport companies they aren't going to drive those hours any more,or lie in their log books. If they all stood up at once then the bosses don't have any choice,they can't sack everyone at the same time. You also have to ask the question why is it that one of the largest trucking companies in Australia, Linfox, makes a decent profit yet their drivers don't need to exceed hours as their trucks have satnav style systems which the company uses to tell what, where, when and why? When are the companies finally going to learn that an accident costs far more than a driver doing a couple of hours overtime to get some sleep.
