There was some news of it about 2 weeks ago, was in QLD IIRC. I noticed at a local Woolworths that Goldstar Transport and an unmarked truck were delivering to a WW store, rather than the usual Toll Transport rig. I also saw two truck drivers in training on their L's.
The thing is, to be effective, the truckies have to make supermarket shelves go bare. But what WW has done has moved the truckies from Goldstar, who normally deliver stock TO the warehouse, to delivering to the stores. As the ambient side of the warehouse has weeks worth of capacity this is a strategy WW can use.
Sucks to be a truckie but the job market is savage at the moment.
