This morning on SH2 heading south to Wellington. Not long before the Ngauranga exit. Open deck big Isuzu truck (white) with a red CC or similar logo with plate CK7 or CKB XXX or similar, spewing construction materials all over the road and managed to suck in some pink bats/dust into my motorbike helmet.
Anyone have any idea how I can track down which company this is as I have forgotten the full plate number. Does someone recognize the logo/company.
Cheers.

That is very nasty! Not good for your lungs at all.
I wish more drivers would consider things like this. Just another reason I don't ride on the roads anymore.

Capital Construction was my first thought too, but their logo is nothing at all like "a red CC"
They are also a very good company and I'd be very surprised if they were involved in something like this.
They can query on part plate numbers and vehicle make and type.

Ring Wellington police in the morning and get them to transfer you to the phone of DBAE51 from CVIU

And you can take your anti police bollocks elsewhere

Is that a QID? I've submitted an online report already, but I'd like to follow up.

Yip I'm pretty sure that's the one.

Pretty sure it's not them. Looks to be these guys: http://racc.co.nz

Perhaps you should have followed the truck a bit further back and avoided the dust off it .
How close were you following it ?

Heavy traffic, and it changed lanes from left to right in front of me. So I had little time to react. I slowed down and then moved across as soon as I could, but that small amount of time was enough.

It wasn't just that, but also the pieces of pink bats/debris falling on the road were a hazard. Not a good look

Yep, they should put you through

What would guys doing civil works and retaining walls be doing with batts in the back of their truck?

Well it seems they didn't really want it there at all. Every KG lost prob makes it cheaper at the tip? Reminds me of when I was following a truck on a MC at a safe distance when its lovely square hay bails started toppling off all over the show at 90kph. Now this tests ya skills. Twas a good thing I was at a sensible distance otherwise I would have been cow fodder.

Following a Strait Freight B-train last year on the bike when it blew a tyre on the first trailer tri's. Went off like a bomb, trailer lifted and suddenly the road was awash with chunks of rubber. Makes you thankful of a decent following distance for sure

They won't do anything about trucks spraying effluent so this won't get a look in.

You probably should not be reporting companies if you don't even know for sure who they were.

Hi Nick
Sorry I did not respond earlier. I have been looking into this.
It appears one of our trucks was possibly the culprit. We take Health and Safety matters very seriously and I have reminded our team to cover the loads and wet them down.
I??
