Eroad - GPS & Road Users
Some of you may be wondering what the green light is on the windscreen of the trucks.We have recently installed an electronic GPS system into our trucks. It is available for tracking and communicating with our drivers. It purchases Road Users licences electronically, which are displayed instantly in the truck windscreen, meeting the latest legal requirements from the LTSA and avoiding incredibly hefty fines that are now in place.
A reminder to all diesel powered vehicles owners check that you have a current license, as you could be looking at up to a $4000 fine under the new law and that’s just the start!
This system makes it easier and more efficient to work with our sisters companies as we can now view & message all the companies trucks on one screen if we require.
New iPads for Heriot School
Being a family-owned rural carrying operation based in the small farming settlement of Heriot, West Otago Transport know how important it is to support the local school and wider community. Here we see Heriot School students make good use of one of the iPad’s purchased by the school with money donated by West Otago Transport.
A budding author in the family
Seven year old Tait lives in Heriot with his Mum, Dad and sister, Sydney (aged 9). Tait was born with Occulocutaneous Albinism and Nystagmus, inherited conditions resulting in his white hair, pale skin and reduced vision, although wearing glasses improves his sight a little. Tait has to be very careful in the sun as he burns very easily, and is also very sensitive to bright light. Even though Tait finds things a little harder to do than others, he is always keen to "give it a go".
Tait's first book "West Otago's Trucks" is available for purchase here.
Many organisations assist Tait with his challenges, and so he has chosen to donate some of the proceeds from this book to the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind.
Watch out for Tait's next book, "Heriot Calf Sale", which is due out before Christmas.
