Registration open for trucking industry elections

The trucking industry’s 2017 elections are underway, with voter registrations now open

In the election, two representatives to the General Council of the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) will be voted in by owner drivers with one truck and small fleet operators with 2-5 trucks.

ATA Chair Noelene Watson said the 2017 election was a critical opportunity for owner drivers and small fleet operators to have their say.

"The ATA Council sets our strategic policy direction. It deals with the critical issues that will determine the industry’s long-term future," Mrs Watson said.

"You can’t have your say if you don’t register to vote, so I urge owner drivers and small fleet operators to register online at the ATA website. It’s easy, fast and there’s no paperwork anymore," she said.

To register to vote in the election, you must own, be purchasing or leasing 1-5 trucks over 4.5 tonnes. You will also need to provide a valid ABN and an email address that is unique to you.

Voter registrations for the 2017 election will close on February 22. The election will be conducted entirely online, using a secure voting system.

Nominations for the two positions up for election will open on January 25, and will also close on February 22.
