- Livestock Transport Fatigue Management Scheme (LTFMS)
Specifically created to allow livestock and rural transporters the flexibility to respond to the dynamic, uncertain and complex livestock transport task. Scheme accreditation also addresses the known fatigue risks in our operations, whilst achieving compliance with the AFM standards and fatigue management requirements of the HVNL.
- Qld Department of Transport & Main Roads Livestock Loading Concessional Scheme
Audited annually, the scheme controls the aggregate mass of the vehicle by limiting the load carrying space of the stock crate and tare weight of the vehicle. It aims to ensure that vehicles are not loaded beyond manufacturers specifications, Trucks and trailers must have a Vehicle Rating (S10) concessional livestock loading; mutual recognition of this concession applies in most states.
- Biosecurity and Effluent Management
Frasers Livestock Transport take reasonable and practical steps to prevent or minimise biosecurity risks during the course of our business activities.
- Fraser’s operate four washbay facilities including a 24 hour facility. Livestock trucks & trailers are regularly washed down with a pressurised water flow and broom/detergent.
- All trailers are fitted with either shut‐off drains or effluent tanks. A large majority of the Fraser fleet operating in urban areas are fitted with tanks.
- Pre‐trip planning and stock preparation (including appropriate water and feed curfews) are a vital part of the transport process. This responsibility is shared by all supply chain parties.
