D With Matt Benseman behind the wheel the T659 Kenworth goes as far as Longreach in Queensland epending on whose study you reference, the average age of an Australian truck driver is somewhere around the 47-years-old mark. Based on this figure, it would suggest there are also a high percentage of truck drivers working within the transport industry well in excess of 50-years-old. On one hand, this is a positive in that the vast majority of the driver pool should, theoretically, have many years of driving experience and a, generally speaking, higher skill set that goes with it. It’s a good thing. On the negative side, however, these figures could also indicate that as the current workforce retires or moves into different vocations, there is not a significantly high enough number of younger recruits entering the industry to take their place. We have been seeing the effect of this for some years now, indicated by the need to import overseas drivers to fill the gap.

Hard-won young driver awards with stringent performance criteria should be worn as a badge of honour and something to aspire to. An award should take pride of place on the mantle-piece in the pool room. The Livestock, Bulk and Rural Carriers Association (LBRCA) in partnership with SafeWork New South Wales has been running its annual Young Driver of the Year Award since 2015, to recognise outstanding young heavy vehicle drivers that demonstrate a best practice approach to driving and safety. The annual award is hotly contested with stringent criteria to be met by all nominees. Nominations must come from an LBRCA member and nominees must be aged between 21 and 35 years old. Nominees must also be either an LBRCA member or work directly for a member. According to Bec Coleman, chief operating officer of the LBRCA: “The award is our way of identifying excellence in young drivers and moulding them into industry leaders; that’s 112
