Log Transport Safety's Rubber Hits the Road 2.0 roadshows

Friday 13 Jun 2025

 
The NZ Log Transport Safety Council (LTSC) is hitting the road again with its popular "Rubber Hits the Road 2.0" roadshow series, which started this week. Building on the success of the 2024 events, this year's sessions aim to tackle critical issues and foster collaboration within the forestry and log transport sectors.

LTSC Executive members will be leading presentations on a range of pivotal topics, including the crucial issue of driver wellbeing, the implementation of alternative fatigue management systems, and important updates to contractor and trailer chain certification processes. Other key safety and operational matters will also be on the agenda.

Tim Sandall and Mike Spiers will also present on the work being led by the FFA/FOA Transport & Logistics Committee. This joint committee of the New Zealand Farm Forestry Association (NZFFA) and the Forest Owners Association (FOA) represents a collaborative effort to address transport and logistics challenges across the forestry industry, making their insights highly anticipated.

The "Rubber Hits the Road 2.0" series is an invaluable opportunity for professionals to stay abreast of current standards, contribute to industry-wide discussions, and explore avenues for improvement and partnership. Those involved in the forestry and log transport industries are strongly encouraged to attend.

The initial sessions took place this week in Hawke’s Bay and Rotorua, with the roadshow's next stops scheduled for Dunedin on Tuesday, 25 June, and Christchurch on Wednesday, 26 June. The final roadshows will be in Taranaki on 3 July, and Whangarei on 17 July.
