Following in the footsteps of Transporting New Zealand’s successful survey on industry costs, the association will release another survey about the social and mental health impacts that the Covid-19 epidemic has had on the trucking sector.

Dom Kalasih, general manager industry, says: “I’m mindful how busy our sector is and I’m a loathe to waste the valuable time of our business owners and their workers. However, I think this is a really important issue and we’re anticipating a long tail in regard the adverse wellbeing impacts.

“Transporting New Zealand want to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem and it’s vital we understand how our sector has been impacted and what it needs, rather than have solutions pushed on us.”

The Transporting New Zealand Covid-19 wellness survey will be released to industry on Monday 1 August and is intended to run for a week.
