Here’s a fun fact about our trucks — each one is named after a famous Saddle Horse. We wanted to make our business feel a bit more personal, and giving our trucks names instead of fleet numbers felt like the perfect way to do that. While most transport companies stick to ordinary numbers, we decided to take a more unique and personal approach. Our very first truck was named MAN, after my mom's top dorper ram, as an ode to her.

Back in the day, our farm was called Sutherland Pty Ltd. When we visited the bank manager to set up an account, he wasn’t exactly convinced I knew what I was doing. He gave my grandfather and mother a hard time about it, but my grandfather stood firm. He told the manager that I was his grandchild, and he believed in me. He promised that as long as he was alive, he and my mom would support me. Eventually, the bank manager opened the account himself and called it Sutherland Transport.

Today, we take pride in our incredible team. We have a top-notch personnel department that keeps things running smoothly. Our drivers go through a tough selection process, and we’re constantly working to improve their skills and training to keep our standards high.
