The Australian haulage industry keeps truckin' throughout COVID-19, writes Rabe9.

In the days before coronavirus cases spiralled upward and Melbourne sank into strict stage four lockdown restrictions, a "Christmas rush" descended upon scores of trucking depots across the east coast.

More than 1000 of them are from Cameron Group, with many rolling through the company's 10,000 square metre Glendenning depot each day.While truck drivers sleep in their cabins near the entrance, forklifts whiz between rows of assorted goods at the massive western Sydney floor-space 16 hours a day. The 45-year-old trucking company moves around 40,000 pallets of goods across the country each day, regardless of the ebbs and flows of the pandemic.
