The association was formed in 1981 to give a united voice to livestock transport
operators and comprises a committee made up of elected representatives drawn from 8 nominated regions. This Committee meets quarterly to discuss issues pertinent to each district, along with state wide and national matters.
Recognising that many of the initiatives the Association introduced and the issues it
deals with are shared with other transport operators in rural areas of Queensland in May 2011 we moved to represent all rural trucking interests and now welcome
membership from all parts of rural road transport.
