Key Tasks, Duties & Responsibilities

Real trucks. Real livestock. Real freight.

You'll be behind the wheel of well-maintained B-Doubles and Road Trains, carting livestock across some of the best country in Australia. If you love the land, animals, and running quality gear, this is the job.

  • Consistent kilometres across the Eastern seaboard — you'll get to see the countryside
  • Hands-on livestock handling — cattle and sheep, done properly, with animal welfare front and centre
  • Part of a solid team who know their trucks and know their stock
  • Daily pre-start checks, with any issues sorted by our own accredited maintenance crew
  • Straightforward paperwork — job records and your daily work diary kept clear and accurate
  • Pride in your gear — keeping the prime mover and trailers clean and tidy
  • Run to our CoR, WHS, speed, fatigue and maintenance systems 

Job Requirements

Essential

  • MC licence — or HC licence with the drive to upgrade (we'll help get you there)
  • You're straightforward and respectful with the people you work with

Nice to have, not deal-breakers

  • Basic Fatigue Management Certificate
  • You've carted or handled cattle and sheep before — or you're keen to learn
  • NSW Livestock Loading Certification
  • You've run convertible livestock trailers and B-Doubles before

Job Benefits

What's in it for you

  • Kilometre rate plus allowances — top drivers are pulling in $150K+
  • Home every second weekend — this job pays well but doesn't own your life
  • Cart sheep? You'll pick up an extra week of annual leave plus a bonus on top
  • Flexible hours and rosters so you can actually plan your life around the job
