Council blocks new truck stop, drivers dealing with 'filthy' roadside poo

The transport industry has rallied behind a Tasmanian business amid council roadblocking a new truck stop development one driver says would help keep them "rested and alert".

Scottsdale-based owner of C. R. & S Jones Transport Calvin Jones said truck drivers are in desperate need of a place to refuel and rest between the north and south of the state.

The Road Transport Hall of Famer said due to logbook rules and how long they're allowed to drive for, drivers needed somewhere suitable.

Mr Jones said unhygienic roadside pull-over areas and hefty fines are driving good drivers away from the industry.

Industry rallies behind rejected Oatlands truck stop ahead of council rethink

Truck drivers on Tasmania’s busiest freight route have nowhere safe to stop or use a toilet for 105 kilometres – and the industry says a rejected Oatlands truck stop would have fixed the problem.

The Southern Midlands Council will today reconsider its February refusal of the more than $6 million Tas Petroleum development, after direction from the Tasmanian Planning Commission.

Scottsdale-based operator Calvin Jones, who has driven the Midland Highway for 53 years and runs Dobson’s Transport, said current roadside pull-over areas were unsafe and unhygienic.

“It is common to see dirty nappies, rubbish and even piles of vomit scattered through this area,” Jones said in a letter to councillors.
