Summary
Project B.NBP.0386 reviewed and developed recommendations for driver fatigue management for remote area livestock transport. The Northern Beef industry relies on effective livestock transport systems to move cattle from northern breeding areas to either live export or to southern grow out or feedlots. Driver fatigue regulations do not recognising the distinct differences between livestock and line haul transport.
This study differentiated remote area livestock transport activities and provides a scientific basis for a Remote Area Livestock Transport System (RALTS).
