A line-up we’re proud of. 🚛

Every truck on the road represents the people behind the job, the freight trusted to us each day, and decades of commitment to doing things properly. Proud of where we’ve come from and the team driving us forward.

While Tasmania sleeps, we’re on the move. Our overnight freight service keeps goods moving across the state so businesses can start the next day ready to go. From depot to destination, our team works through the night to make sure deliveries arrive safely, reliably, and on time. 🚛🌙

We’ve recently rolled out our first A-double set in Tasmania, featuring a Euro 6 FH600 Volvo with Barker skel trailers and a Barker dolly. Running between Burnie and Bell Bay, it’s a strong step forward in how we move freight across the north. 🚛

It is with sadness that we share the passing of John de Bruyn (1944–2026), who passed away last week.

John’s story is closely tied to the early foundations of our business. In 1953, his father Cornelius de Bruyn established C De Bruyn’s Transport, based out of Launceston. In 1965, Cornelius went on to purchase West Coast Transport in Burnie, supporting the region’s mining and sawmilling industries. John moved with his young family to Burnie to manage the operation, taking on the responsibility of running the business during those formative years.

He remained in that role until 1978, when Bert de Bruyn and John Snr and their families relocated from the Netherlands and purchased the business from Cornelius and his sons, John and Jack.

Following this, John returned to Launceston where he established his own earthmoving venture. Known for being hardworking and mechanically minded, these qualities were evident throughout his time at West Coast Transport and carried through into his later work.

He will be remembered as someone who played a meaningful role in shaping the early direction of our company, and whose contribution remains part of the story we carry forward today.

Our thoughts are with his family and all who knew him 🤍

We’re proud to work alongside industries across the state, including the aquaculture industry, keeping things moving every day. Porcha and Piper are a great example of the kind of people we’re lucky to have in our business, with industries like this providing strong jobs and opportunities for our team.
