A truck driver is suing his former employer for $1.1 million after a mining rig machine he was carting fell off a ramp at the Townsville Port.
Wayne Milne, now 53, was employed as a truck driver for a haulage company based at Clermont in Central Queensland.
His job required him to travel to remote locations within Queensland.
Mr Milne was tasked to deliver a mining rig machine to the Port of Townsville in April 2019.
He collected the rig from a repair shop in Mackay and drove to the port.
Mr Milne claims that upon his arrival, there was no one there to assist with unloading the rig.
