The 1960S

Swap bodies emerged in Germany in the 1960s and is now a very mature and widely used product in Europe. Compared with Europe, the use of swap bodies in China started late. The application of swap bodies can effectively improve the technical level of the swap trailer transport equipment and accelerate the transformation of the modern road transport industry. This paper comprehensively introduces the size and transportation advantages of swap bodies, discusses the problems existing in the course of development, and expounds its prospect, providing a reference for the promotion and application of swap bodies in China.

Remarkable Progress

Freight grawth lately is remarkable progress, so we need measures to optimize the transport of goods. In order to support the national logistics system the government has issued Government Regulation No. 8 of 2011 on Transport Multimioda which is the mandate of the Traffic Act and Road Transport, Shipping, Aviation and Railways. Problems in multimodal transportation is not a business entity licensing guidelines multimodal transport. With the approach of qualitative descriptive analysis of the utilization of multimodal transport in the Port of Tanjung Priok Jakarta and Medan Belawan port indicated that the licensing guidelines Multimodal Transport Enterprises really need to be designed. The draft guidelines for licensing Multimodal Transport Entity shall have permanent offices, transport equipment, loading and unloading equipment, and human resources that have a certificate of competence.Keywords: Buam licensing guidelines. Pertumbuhan angkutan barang akhir-akhir ini sangat luar biasa perkembangannya, sehingga perlu dilakukan langkah-langkah uiltuk mengoptimasikan angkutan barang tersebut. Dalam rangka mendukung sistem logistik nasional pemerintah telah menerbitkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 8 Tahun 2011 tentang Angkutan Multimioda yang merupakan amanat dari Undang-Undang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan, Pelayaran, Penerbangan dan Perkeretaapian. Permasalahan dalam angkutan multimoda adalah belum adanya pedoman pemberian izin badan usaha angkutan multimoda. Dengan pendekatan analisis deskriptif kualitatif terhadap pengusahaan angkutan multimoda di Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok Jakarta, dan Pelabuhan Belawan Medan diperoleh gambaran bahwa pedoman pemberian izin Badan Usaha Angkutan Multimoda sangat perlu untuk dirancang. Rancangan pedoman pemberian izin Badan Usaha Angkutan Multimoda wajib memiliki kantor tetap, peralatan angkut, peralatan bongkar muat, dan sumber daya manusia yang memiliki sertifikat kompetensi.Kata Kunci: Pedoman Pemberian izin BUAM.

Health Promotion Interventions

BACKGROUND: There is little published research about managers’ views on implementing and embedding workplace health promotion interventions. OBJECTIVE: To shed light on research-to-practice challenges in implementing workplace health promotion interventions in the Australian road transport industry. METHODS: In this Participatory Action Research project, managers from small-to-midsized companies in the Australian road transport industry were asked their views about enablers and barriers to implementing nutrition and physical activity interventions in their workplace. RESULTS: Managers identified practical assistance with resources, ideas, and staffing as being key enablers to implementation. Barriers included time restraints, worker age and lack of interest, and workplace issues relating to costs and resources. CONCLUSION: Manager perspectives add new insights about successful implementation of workplace health promotion. A Participatory Action Research approach allows managers to develop their own ideas for adapting interventions to suit their workplace. These findings add to a small body of knowledge of managers’ views about implementing workplace health promotion in small-to-midsized road transport companies - a relatively unexplored group. Managers highlight the importance of time constraints and worker availability when designing interventions for the road transport industry. Managers require a good understanding of the workplaces’ socio-cultural context for successful health promotion and health behaviour change.

The Relationship

The purpose of this was to investigate the relationship between perceived service quality and customer loyalty in the road transport industry in Nigeria. Leveraging the RATER service quality model, only reliability, tangibles and responsiveness were explored. Participants were drawn from the customer base of organized road transport firms operating in the South East of Nigeria. Being a quantitative survey, results from 318 valid responses were analyzed with SPSS version 21.  Findings indicate that the three constructs (reliability, tangibles, and responsiveness) are significant predictors of customer loyalty, with reliability having the greatest influence, followed by responsiveness and tangibles. The study recommends steady monitoring of service quality as a step towards customer loyalty in the highly competitive road transport industry in Nigeria.

Potential Benefits

A Questionnaire was used to obtain information from 960 long distance truck drivers about the drivers” experience, type of employment and their working conditions, type of driving operation, as well as details of their last trip and their last working week. Operations specifically designed to combat driver fatigue by provision of a relief driver in a team operation did not appear to achieve their intended outcome. The potential benefits of such operations appeared to be outweighed by the greater distances and lack of flexibility that characterised these trips.

Transport Supply

The Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012 (Cth) (the Act) explicitly enables the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal to make orders that can impose binding requirements on all the participants in the road transport supply chain, including consignors and consignees at the apex of the chain, for the pay and safety of both employee and independent contractor drivers. The tribunal is also specifically empowered to make enforceable orders to reduce or remove remuneration related incentives and pressures that contribute to unsafe work practices in the road transport industry. Recently the tribunal handed down its first order. The article considers whether, and the degree to which, the tribunal has been willing to exercise its explicit power to impose enforceable obligations on consignors and consignees – such as large supermarket chains – at the apex of road transport supply chains. It examines the substance and extent of the obligations imposed by the tribunal, including whether the tribunal has exercised the full range of powers vested in it by the Act. We contend that the tribunal's first order primarily imposes obligations on direct work providers and drivers without making large, powerful consignors and consignees substantively responsible for driver pay and safety. We argue that the tribunal's first order could have more comprehensively fulfilled the objectives of the Act by more directly addressing the root causes of low pay and poor safety in the road transport industry.

Purpose Workplaces are challenging environments which place workers at the risk of obesity. This is particularly true for Australian road transport industry workplaces. The Analysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity (ANGELO) framework is a public health tool which can be used to conceptualise obesogenic environments. It suggests that workplaces have a variety of roles (in the physical, economic, political and sociocultural domains) in responding to obesity in transport industry workplaces. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings which explore this idea. Design/methodology/approach The project used a mixed-methods approach located within a participatory action research framework, to engage workplace managers and truck drivers in the implementation and evaluation of workplace health promotion strategies. The project involved six transport industry workplaces in Queensland, Australia. Findings This study found that transport industry workplaces perceive themselves to have an important role in addressing the physical, economic, political and sociocultural aspects of obesity, as per the ANGELO framework. However, transport industry employees – specifically, truck drivers – do not perceive workplaces to have a major role in health; rather, they consider health to be an area of personal responsibility. Practical implications Balancing the competing perceptions of truck drivers and workplace managers about the workplace’s role in health promotion is an important consideration for future health promotion activities in this hard-to-reach, at-risk population. Originality/value The use of the ANGELO framework allows the conceptualisation of obesity in a novel workplace context.
