Make smart moves with Tatiara Transport
OUR STORY
Tatiara Transport is a second-generation family-owned business, founded by John Schneider in the 1950s. John had a passion for riding motorbikes, which naturally drew him to the open road. This love for driving collided with the growing demand for transport during a time of rapid agricultural development and land clearing. As farms expanded and the need to move materials and equipment grew, John began carting Mallee tree stumps to the Nhill Hospital in Western Victoria, where they were burned for heating. These humble beginnings ignited a lifelong love for life on the road.
Soon after, John began hauling goods for Tatiara Distributors, a Bordertown hardware store owned by his brother. This partnership paved the way for regular long-haul freight services across the SA-Victorian border during a time when road transport was restricted by railway regulations. As demand grew, the business steadily expanded its services between Melbourne and Adelaide, while evolving from general freight management to refrigerated logistics.
Over time, John’s dedication built a reputation for reliability and customer service, which still drives the business today. Now in the hands of his son Mark, Tatiara Transport remains a proudly family-owned and operated business, carrying forward a tradition of hard work and transport excellence. Mark continues John’s legacy with the same commitment to customer satisfaction, while continuously improving the business and steering Tatiara Transport through today’s logistics landscape.
