“Definitely from operators and communities, we’re hearing a lot of positive news of the help we’ve provided,” he told Sky News Australia.
“Obviously, heavy vehicle operators had to adjust to this new route; they’ve had to reschedule drivers and reschedule our heavy vehicles to operate on this route effectively.”

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator has also given notice until the 28th of February for heavy vehicle operators to use different routes to reach flood-affected areas to deliver critical supplies. “The temporary notice allows us to operate larger than normal road trains out of Western Australia and through South Australia up into the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia where these critical goods are needed for these impacted communities,” Mr Miller said.
