Newcastle & Hunter Transport Awareness Day & Truck Show

The Newcastle/Hunter Truck Show and Road Transport Awareness Day showcases the truck and road transport industry by educating knowledge & insight into the Transport and Logistics industry. Currently there is a skill shortage in a number of areas within the industry and studies indicate that the freight task will double by 2020!

Road Transport is divided into freight & passenger services. It moves over 1.5 billion tonnes per year, in over half a million vehicles. Road transport employs around half of the people in the transport & Logistics Industry. If you want an independent lifestyle and enjoy the great outdoors, this is the sector for you.

The Road and Transport Awareness Day seeks to promote safety and awareness and the role of the transport industry throughout our community. This annual event will see 200 big rigs make their way from Sandgate to the Maitland Showground in a convoy of over 2000 tonnes. The trucks will assemble and at 10am the day's events will officially begin.
