Mr Spaltman said it had to be acknowledged that it was a tough year for the trucking industry but the company was feeling optimistic about the year ahead.
The company also wanted to acknowledge the impact of the government’s economic stimulus, in particular, the instant asset write-off and accelerated depreciation measures, which assisted many businesses in the trucking and other industries too.
