SA Trucker Whatsapp Group goes live

The SA Trucker Whatsapp Group initiative kicked off in response to the violent attacks on truck drivers and their vehicles back in 2018.

Too many of our brothers and sisters in the game have been hurt or killed in situations that could’ve been avoided – if only the info had moved faster or the cops had acted quicker.

We’re not the police. But we can be our own intelligence network – warning each other about dangers on the road before they catch someone off guard.

From tyre theft to diesel siphoning, hijackings, violent protests, and even robberies right inside the cab – these are the daily risks we’re up against. Sharing info can help us dodge some of these bullets.

Here’s how you can play your part:

Report and share info on:

• Crime hotspots

• Violent protest areas

• Dangerous accident zones

• Unsafe parking spots

• Safe (and dodgy) truck stops

• Live traffic or crash alerts

Once we have this info, SA Trucker will broadcast it to all members and keep proper records. In time, we’ll take those stats to the right authorities and demand action.

Let’s also support truck stops that actually look after us. If they’re safe and decent, give them a shoutout. That way we push others to up their game too.

Important Group Rules:

• Only share info related to trucker and truck safety

• No swearing or vulgar talk

• No attacking fellow members

• No racism or discrimination – ZERO tolerance!

• Stick to English
