Scott’s Transport's collapse triggers ‘serious concerns’ about Australia’s supply chain



Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood says the collapse of the Scott’s Transport company triggered “serious concerns” about Australia’s supply chain.

“The real worry is that Scott’s may be the first of many to fail as cost pressures rise in the whole trucking industry,” Mr Greenwood said.

  1. Years ago the "PLAN" (CONSPIRACY) is to have 5 major players controlling everything. Fox, Toll, K&S…… and i can't think of the other 2 mentioned, but it has been coming for a while. I've been in this game for 31 years, and I've seen a lot.

  3. The worker shortage is a joke. Get the bludgers off the dole and put them to work.
    The company I work for brings in thousands of south Pacific workers each year to work on farms because Australians are job snobs and would rather sit on the dole than do farm work.
    My job should not exist in a functional labour market.

  5. Over seas drivers are used to over seas road rules, put on paper an accreditation system to make it easier for licensed drivers to get their truck licence without jumping through hoops and forking out thousands of dollars to get the ticket because at the moment it is to expensive and time consuming to acquire a semi licence, also keep good operators in th industry by taking so.e of the load and log book responsibilities and putting them on the operators company because the fines and point system is failing and putting good operators that make small mistakes and their employer is making mistakes that the operators have to pay for.
    Safety should not just be the operators responsibility as it often is, and most of all, raise wages across the country on an experience based system so good operators are being paid more for their level of experience.
    There is no quick solve to the issue but put some money back into the operators pockets and keep them in the industry, last of all slash taxes on fuel for transport companies yes some one has to pay for it and its likely the common road user that will pay for the tax cuts but without trucks and their operators we all go without.
    I know this comment will probably get some hate but think about it next time your at the supermarket and your favourite products are out of stock.
    Keep the jobs in the country stop outsourcing our jobs.

  8. Same as the building industry ….. Scott’s are being held to delivery contracts that can no longer be afforded….. diesel ….. wages ….. all up up up up.

    Only way to dodge these contract commitments is just to fold up shop.
