Marlborough truck operators slam grape spill complaints

Marlborough truck operators are hitting back at complaints of grape spillages saying it is not always the truck driver at fault. Fourteen trucks have spilled grapes on Marlborough roads in the last three weeks, after police called for a spillage-free harvest. Sergeant Michael Moloney, of the South Island Commercial Vehicle Investigation Unit, believed it could be a combination of inappropriate vehicles and out-of-town drivers who were unfamiliar with the roads.
