At Followmont Transport, we believe that every journey matters, not just in the distances we cover, but in the relationships we build and the communities we serve.

These aren’t just words on a wall; they guide everything we do, from the way we handle freight to the way we treat each other. As a driver with Followmont, you’re not just another cog in the wheel; you’re an essential part of a team that works together to deliver life-saving medication, essential household goods, and more, to every corner of Queensland and New South Wales.

This extensive network allows us to offer our drivers stable, consistent work with the opportunity to be part of something bigger – helping to keep the heart of our communities beating.
At Followmont, we understand that our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we’re committed to recognising and rewarding the hard work and dedication of our team. Whether it’s celebrating anniversaries, presenting Recognition Awards at every depot, or acknowledging outstanding actions, we make sure that our team feel appreciated and valued for their contributions.
