The road transport industry area consists of three defined sectors:
- Manufacturers,
suppliers and repairers of commercial vehicles including coaches and buses,
and their components
- Transport operators engaged in the movement of freight
- Public and private operators involved in the movement of passengers.
The
Australian trucking industry is distributed across regional Australia. Wherever
there are roads, there are trucks and trucking businesses. They not only
supply rural towns but create local employment and support other businesses

fabric of their communities. he road transport industry also supports the
freight logistics task and has sophisticated freight management systems that
provide the logistics and materials handling solutions from production line
