By January of 2020, over 46 million acres had burnt across all Australian states and territories leaving countless homeless including millions of animals....

The American transportation research institute lists compliance, safety and accountability as some the greatest concerns facing the trucking industry today. One of the major compliance concerns is the max weight that can be moved over the road.
