We are proud to share that NLA has won the Workplace Diversity Award at the 2025 City of Whittlesea Business Awards! 💗
 
We’re driven by a purpose — to open doors, break barriers, and create real opportunities for women, mob, and those who’ve been left out of the industry for too long. This recognition means the world. 
Here’s to building a stronger, more inclusive future—one truck at a time.

🚨 Job Opportunity for Mob: Start as a Driver, Become an Owner!
 
🚛 Are you an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander driver ready to build something of your own?

NLA Trucking is offering more than just a job — we’re offering a pathway to truck ownership through our Pilot Program.

You’ll start as an employee, working as a driver in our fleet, and over 6 to 12 months (depending on your experience), you’ll be mentored directly by our Director — who began her own journey behind the wheel.

This program is designed to teach you everything you need to know about running a successful trucking business. We’ll support you every step of the way as you work toward purchasing your own truck, with guaranteed work for a minimum of 5 years — the average time it takes to pay off a truck and build a strong foundation.
 
Requirements:
✔ HR Truck Licence (or working towards it)
✔ White Card
✔ Clean driving record
✔ Positive attitude and strong work ethic
 
We’re open to training the right person and assisting with obtaining a licence if you’re motivated and eager to learn.
 
📩 Apply now via [email protected]
📍 Based in Victoria
 
This is about more than employment — it’s about ownership, independence, and creating a future for you and your family.
