What are the total current and projected truck movements?
Total truck movements (out loaded and back empty = two movements) along Rutleys Road at the future output level of 1.2mtpa are estimated at 270 average movements per day. Given that the coal is moved on an intermittent basis, a maximum number of truck movements per day has been generated and this totals 540 movements. Current trucking times are between 5.30am and 6.30pm (13 hours) Monday to Friday. The transport report makes an assumption that truck numbers are 50% higher in peak hours (due to delays and to assess maximum impact) so the maximum hourly number of truck movements on Rutleys Road would increase by 28, bringing the total to 62 in peak times.
