The Tasmanian Transport Association says all fright movement sin and out of the state are unaffected after a protest by truck drivers was a "flop". Yesterday truck drivers around Australia stopped work to protest against high fuel prices, logbook changes, and the rising cost of truck registration.Organisers predicted up to 80 per cent of Australia's truckies would stop work, lead by long haul drivers on the mainland.But executive director of the Tasmanian Transport Association Robin Phillips says from what he has heard not many drivers went on strike."It was a bit of a flop actually, the few small rebel groups that were actually trying to get it all together basically didn't gain any support."All I can say is that it has had absolutely no impact on any freight coming into Tasmania and doesn't look as though it will do."
