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.

Never seen one truck on the road bloody terrorist's
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.
Thanks ALBO SLEAZY!!!!
Chalk up another business wollies/Coles have help wipe out. Jeez if only there workers had a decent union that wasn't handy capped by legislation th that could fight for their jobs.
Thanks johnny
The government needs to be fumigated!
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.
Big corporations screwing the demands of the bottom-line s and pushes of demands plays into the pressure of drivers n management.then there is the government screwing up every industry . Hands off enough red tape
That’s what happens when you sack all the Australian drivers and hire Indian ones instead.. just saying
Liberals labour and greens have been destroying this country for years time to remove them from government
Destroy disrupt food supply, that's what the USA let's go Brandon is doing and now Australia
Useless greed !
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.
And the climate-frenzied snowflakes are dancing in the streets – 500 carbon-churning trucks off the road!!!! – dancing all the way to the soup kitchen.
I hope the climate change alarmists are happy. The great thing is that they are going to starve like the rest of us.
You guys are Klaus' sister country. Ukraine is the Pilot Country soon to be. All of your banks are ESG/ soon to be CBDC. Hope you guys like bugs.
To solve this problem we need to build nuclear power plants, vote no, destroy Satan and his rainbow people, get our forests producing wealth and jobs, bring back Scotty and robodebt to manage the bludgers and make us the greatest Christian democracy in the world. Go the sharkies.
Saw a sticker on the back of a truck without trucks Australia stops

The lack of future proofing will destroy politics , Politicians and governments ,
INCOMPETENT and inept Authorities driven by woke leftist cancel culture (Fascism) will have to face JUSTICE !
Truth and Justice WILL PREVAIL 💀⚔️🕊️
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.
