Truckie Tuesday: Refused A Licence Test Over An In-Cab Camera...

from Bonafide with Luke Bona · host Luke Bona

Lachlan is a young truck driver. He booked his heavy vehicle licence upgrade, paid his fees, turned up at the testing centre, and was sent home. The reason he was given: the safety cameras inside his employer's truck can't be deactivated, and tampering with them is a sackable offence. Two other drivers from the same company had already tested in the same truck without an issue. Rod Hannifey and Luke Bona work through what he should do next, and it opens onto the question the industry hasn't answered. A truck is a workplace, but it's also a bedroom. So who gets to watch, and who keeps what they see?Plus: the NHVR and Transport Certification Australia have built a new Generation 2.0 electronic work diary framework, with the specification due out within weeks, and Hughes Law's Belinda Hughes reads what the fact sheet doesn't say about where all that fatigue data is headed. Sham contracting is costing the country billions in lost tax revenue and driving decent operators out of business. NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie is flying to Dubbo to spend a full day in Rod's truck. Senator Bridget McKenzie is confirmed for a coming episode. There's a new segment where you can put a legal question straight to Belinda. And Where's Rodney is finally solved, at Wyaga Creek on the Gore Highway.Guests: Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host, National Road Freighters Association) · Belinda Hughes (Principal, Hughes Law)(00:00) Cold Open: "Why Is Your Hat Over The Camera?"(01:16) Where's Rodney: Last Week's Clues(02:06) Gen 2.0 Electronic Work Diaries Land In Weeks(03:35) Sham Contracting And The Race To The Bottom(08:37) Listener Mail: Refused A Licence Test Over In-Cab Cameras(11:56) Asleep In The Bunk, Phoned About A Hat(14:10) Your Truck Is Your Home(16:19) Hughes Law: Where Your Fatigue Data Goes Next(19:54) Revenue Or Road Safety?(21:07) NHVR Boss Nicole Rosie Rides With Rod(23:52) New Segment: Ask The Legal Eagle(25:17) Rod's Rant On The Blitz Numbers(27:03) Where's Rodney: The Answer(29:27) Sign-Off❤️ Cheers to GME for making Truckie Tuesday possible!Outfit your rig with the very best, Australian-made communication technology here: https://www.gme.net.au/au/🫶 Join The Bonafide FamilyGet Your Bonafide Merch here: https://bonafidepod.com/en-audFollow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LukeBonaThatRadioGuy/Catch Up On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukey.bona/Subscribe to us on YouTube to stay updated with LIVE SHOWS:🎙️ Get InvolvedLeave us a digital voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/BonafideCall the Bonafide Hotline to leave a voicemail: (02) 9128 9311Want to be a guest or suggest a topic?
