New - Hub Temperature Monitoring Record
The below is the latest Hub Temperature Monitoring Record and tips for how and where the information is to be recorded. The minimum requirement for 1 per day has been removed as hot wheel events are a key concern for our business and our customers and should be completed regularly. We are waiting on the pre-printed books to be sent, however copies are available from your Supervisor in the interim
Link to an old news article relating to a wheel fire at Ti Tree in the Northern Territory, reflects the importance of checking temperature when stopping for rest breaks https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-19/ammonium-nitrate-truck-catches-fire-on-stuart-highway-in-nt/5901878
Speeding
Hi all just a reminder that the speed for Road Trains is 90km/hr. We have seen numerous instances of drivers pushing the limits on this and travelling at 95-96km/hr. This will not be tolerated. Please slow down.
Thanks, Operations

The Payroll team is working through some side by side testing as well as some tax matters that must be resolved before this change from ADP to iChris takes place. The changing of payroll systems is what will generate the payslips being emailed
Therefore the timing of the changes I going to be pushed back by a few weeks, so not from the week beginning 1 April.
