The TruckSafe accreditation program is proud to welcome RJ Loveday Transport (QLD) and Mitchell’s Livestock Transport (WA) as its newest accredited members.



Established 11 years ago, RJ Loveday Transport specialises in carting certified-organic cattle around the QLD/SA border area. Owner Richard Loveday said good staff were the key to a good business.



“We run a very compliant business and have very good gear – frankly, there was no reason we shouldn’t be in TruckSafe and TruckCare,” he said.



“I’ve got a really excellent crew, and they make it worth going in to work every day. We’re always improving, and TruckSafe is just another part of that.”



A third-generation Western Australian family business, Mitchell’s Livestock Transport proudly transports more than 500,000 cattle across 1,500 pick-up and delivery locations each year. TruckCare accredited since 2001, Mitchell’s Livestock Transport endeavours to coordinate logistics, animal welfare, vehicle safety and innovation.



“There are really two things TruckSafe does – the first is that it generally raises the bar right across our business. The other is that we really try to eliminate as many risks as we can, and TruckSafe helps us do that,” CEO John Mitchell said.



“We’re really proud of our fantastic staff and the way they look after the livestock. It’s about striving to make ourselves the best we can be to look after our customers and their cattle.”



TruckSafe Chairman Stephen Marley said TruckSafe operators were some of Australia’s safest transport businesses.   



“I congratulate RJ Loveday Transport and Mitchell’s Livestock Transport on achieving their TruckSafe accreditation,” Mr Marley said.



“It’s fantastic to have these trucking operators going the extra mile to make sure they run a safe, professional business.”
