There must be more to the story.

Detectives arrested the Simeon Tuteru, 49, in Lyndhurst at about 9:20am on Saturday.
He was charged with four counts of manslaughter, and granted bail at an out of session court hearing on Saturday night.
Mr Tuteru is the Victorian manager of Connect Logistics, the company that owned the truck involved in the crash.

Been scratching my head trying to figure out how he could be charged with manslaughter.

New South Wales Police then penalised Connect Logistics for a string of safety breaches, including truck defects and the use of overworked and fatigued drivers.

So even if they found evidence this driver had done more hours than recorded and his truck was knowingly unroadworthy you wouldn't think it would be a manslaughter charge.

Would supplying drugs to the drivers be considered manslaughter?

If proved, his sentence will be so long he'll likely die in jail.

Must be Negligent Manslaughter.

A few points: it’s negligence, Not recklessness that needs to be proved. No need to prove an unlawful act just that the accused must owe a duty of care.
Normal Manslaughter must involve an unlawful act i.e a crime to have been committed.

The common law imposes a general duty on all people who are doing a dangerous act, or who have charge of anything dangerous, to take ordinary precautions to avoid harming other people.

The truck driver charged over the deaths of four police officers in a crash on the Eastern Freeway has also been accused of supplying drugs to a child in the weeks before the collision.
Mohinder Singh, 47, was initially charged with four counts of culpable driving causing death in the days after the April 22 crash.

He faced court on Thursday for the first time since police charged him with 33 additional offences in August.
Court documents released on Thursday show Mr Singh has been charged with an array of drug-related offences, including the alleged supply of cannabis to a child in Noble Park between April 4 and 5.

He is also charged with trafficking cannabis and methamphetamine to a child in Cranbourne between April 10 and 16.
The 47-year-old allegedly trafficked methamphetamine in Dandenong South on the day of the crash.

He is also accused of being in possession of methamphetamine, cannabis, 1,4-Butanediol, Diazepam and cartridge ammunition in Cranbourne between April 22 and 23, and of trafficking drugs "in and around Melbourne" between January 1 and April 22.
Police allege that Mr Singh was affected by illicit drugs and fatigue when he got behind the wheel of the truck on April 22.

He underwent a blood test within three hours of the crash and traces of an illicit drug were allegedly present in the sample when it was analysed, court documents state.
During a brief committal mention in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday, Mr Singh appeared via video link wearing a green jumper and with buzz-cut hair.
His lawyer Steven Pica said that they had engaged an expert witness who has undertaken a number of video conference interviews with Mr Singh. However, the expert has been unable to complete a report into the accused as he hasn't been able to have a face-to-face session with him in prison.
Mr Pica applied to have the case adjourned while they arranged for Mr Singh to see the expert and finish his report.
The case was adjourned to November 12.

Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Senior Constable Kevin King and constables Glen Humphris and Josh Prestney were killed on April 22 as they were impounding a Porsche on the Eastern Freeway at Kew.
In a statement released by his lawyer in the days after the crash, Mr Singh was said to be "genuinely sorry and saddened that four people have lost their lives as a result of the collision".
Senior Constable Kevin King, Constable Josh Prestney, Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor and Constable Glen Humphris were killed in the Eastern Freeway collision.

"He is acutely aware of the impact upon the families, friends and work colleagues of those that lost their lives."
The additional charges came several weeks after a Victorian manager at Connect Logistics trucking company was charged with manslaughter in connection to the crash.

Frankston man Simiona Tuteru, 49, was arrested and charged with four counts of manslaughter on August 1.
A court heard that Mr Tuteru oversaw the co-ordination of Connect Logistics truck drivers and allegedly knew that Mr Singh's mental state had deteriorated due to a lack of sleep and drug use before the Eastern Freeway crash.
In May, Connect Logistics was penalised for a string of safety breaches including truck defects and using fatigued drivers.
NSW police spent a week investigating the western Sydney company and issued 35 infringement notices.
This included two trucks which were found to have major defects, including oil leaks and excessive brake-pad wear, and 17 trucks with minor defects, including headlight damage and unsecured bolts.

So the reported ice pipe in the truck cab was real. He was dealing all over Melbourne for 4 months. Considering he steered the truck into them, was he having a psychotic episode while on ice? That is the most likely scenario with the above information. Yep, I would think on the above he will serve 20 years without parole. Interesting Pusey is in court next week. I think he may get out on time already served. Morally he should serve 10 years but that will not happen.

This truck driver might be the perfect distraction for Pusey the lowlife bastard.
