Getting your freight there — Australia‑wide.
A family-owned freight brokerage built for small and mid-size carriers — the trucks the big shops overlook. Real people, honest tools, doing it right since day one.
Family. Community. Freight.
Shy Transport is a family-owned and family-operated business. We believe the work we do — moving food, materials and goods across the country — matters. We believe our team, our carrier partners and our customers matter more. Every dispatcher, every broker, every load: handled with honesty, transparency and the standard we'd want for our own family.
A portion of every load we book helps fund organisations doing real work in Australian communities.
"A handshake still means something out here."— our motto since 2017
From one desk in Sunshine to lanes across the country.
Doug Shy started this business with a phone, a handful of carrier contacts, and a belief that small fleets deserved the same respect as the big ones. Nine years on, that belief hasn't changed — just the number of people it now takes to keep it.
Every load we book still gets a real conversation first. That's not nostalgia — it's just how we think freight should work.
Get In TouchHauling more than just freight.
A portion of every load helps fund organisations doing real work in our communities. It's the kind of company we want to be.
No robots. Just real people, backed by the right tools.
- A real dispatcher on every load, not a call queue
- NHVR-vetted carriers, every single time
- Honest rates — fair to shippers, fair to carriers
- Homegrown Victorian roots, national reach
Real people, empowered by the best tools in the industry.
We use modern brokerage technology to give our team and our carrier partners the leverage to do their best work — not to replace them. It's the same idea Doug Shy started with in 2017. We've just got faster computers now.
See What We DoWe don't replace the people who built this country's roads. We give them better tools.

Move freight with people who actually pick up the phone.
Whether you're a shipper looking for capacity or a carrier looking for fair loads — we'd love to talk. Real Melbourne dispatchers, real conversations.
