“RIDICULOUS” fatigue laws and changes to attitudes towards truckies and their role on our roads is what you’ll hear about in the latest episode of The Big Rigs Podcast. We chatted with Tassie ace Kerry Connors, the Tasmanian Transport Associations’ Driver of the Year, who wants to see a change in attitudes towards truckies on our roads. She finished third for Caltas in the Volvo world fuel watch challenge in Sweden last year. She spoke to our contributor Brent Davison about a typical day behind the wheel after she was awarded the Tassie crown. Reporter Kate Dodd also chatted with outspoken Robbie Katter, MP for Traeger and son of outspoken Bob Katter, about amendments he was pushing for fatigue laws for drivers in drought affected areas.
