"A high-level taskforce will be formed to address the urgent need for a sustainable future supply of truck drivers across South Australia, the State Government announced. Speaking at the opening of the 2008 South Australian Road Transport Authority Conference, Transport Minister Patrick Conlon said the Future of SA Freight Taskforce would develop strategies to entice and retain drivers into and within the industry. It is absolutely vital for this State that we have enough truck drivers to meet the demands of our economy, Mr Conlon said."
