OPINION: Drivers annoyed by milk tankers on the road will need to control their road rage lest their behaviour ends up on film.

The co-operative’s fleet of 500 tankers are being with high-definition, dualfacing dashcams. Fonterra and transportation technology services company Eroad are installing hardware that will include in-vehicle driver monitoring hardware, high-definition, dual-facing dashcams and electronic Road User Charges.

Through its fleet of milk collection tankers and over 1,600 tanker operators, Fonterra completes an average of one farm collection every 15 seconds and collects around 16.5 billion litres of milk per year. Encounters with bad drivers will be on the record!
