Australian farms are often both large and remote, so transport is required overland to saleyards, feedlots and quarantine facilities.

Truck Drivers

Australia’s trucking industry has strict regulations, and many of the drivers come from farming backgrounds, giving them a lifetime of experience in caring for animals. With this experience, the drivers play a critical role in the supply chain.

Animal Welfare and trucks

Truck drivers ensure the health and welfare of the livestock is taken seriously and are responsible for the animals’ safe arrival to their destination.

Only healthy animals are loaded, they are boarded and transported with care.
