The Bushfire Crossed the Roads
Sharon Middleton - Whiteline Transport
“The key to the successful partnership between NTI and Whiteline has been the way they kick into gear when we’ve had a problem.”
Because, when things go wrong in the trucking industry, they tend to go wrong in a big way. There’s probably no better example of this than the time bushfires closed the roads between Adelaide and Perth. Not long after they were re-opened, the wind changed. One of Whiteline’s drivers was lucky to escape but lost two trailers, a prime mover and a dolly.
While official enquiries were set to drag on for many months, this wasn’t the case with the NTI claims process. “The NTI team understood that we had enough to deal with,” Sharon recalls. “Within a week we had payment through for the two trailers and the dolly. Two days later we received payment for the prime mover… NTI care about the people they insure. To them, it’s not just about being a number. You mean something to them.”
