Hannah’s Haulage is a New South Wales-based transport company which specialises in short and long-distance linehaul services across Australia.
Hannah’s Haulage Managing Director, Scott Hannah, started driving trucks at the age of 21 in the 1980s, and ventured out on his own after the turn of the century by purchasing his first truck and establishing his own business.
The company has since grown tremendously. The business now operates a fleet of 43 prime movers, mainly Volvos and Mercedes Benz units, and around 100 semi-trailers, the majority of them being Vawdrey curtainsiders in addition to a couple of side loaders and Dangerous Goods (DG) tankers.
Scott believes his fleet is one of the safest ones on the road. He stands by this by always investing in the latest technology and regularly replacing his equipment to keep up with advancements in innovation.
“We replace our trucks every three to four years, and that brings us up to date with the latest technologies in safety and pollution control,” he says. “We generally keep our trailers for seven to eight years before we offload them.
“We run BPW Transpec disc brakes which we think are the best axles you can get, and we rebuild them after we pass the one-million-kilometre warranty with new air bags, bearings, bushes in the callipers, rotors and so forth.”
Hannah’s Haulage also utilises camera monitoring systems, GPS tracking, Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), Electronic Braking Systems (EBS) and On-Board Mass (OBM) systems as standard on all vehicles.
“We get alerts if our trucks go over 100km/h,” Scott says. “So, the cameras allow us to monitor driver behaviour. While you can only see incidents after the fact, you can at least see what happened and then train drivers on what not to do.”
Safety, for Hannah’s Haulage, is paramount. Scott says ensuring that his business is always utilising the latest truck and trailer models and components gives him the peace of mind that he’s doing everything he can on his part to prevent accidents and dangerous situations from happening.
“If you haven’t got safety, you’ve got nothing,” he says. “If something was to happen on the road, I wouldn’t want to think that I could have prevented it if I had spent the extra money on the latest technology.
“So, we’re a family business and we do the best that we can. We’ve got a lot of experienced drivers working for us who have been with the company for up to 13 years, and we’ve got the best gear that you can get.”
