We have so many employee stories to share, like those that have been a part of Kent for decades, or our youngest State Manager who started out driving trucks. And then there is our father and daughter duo who proves some family businesses are worth trusting your family with.   

 Why work for Us:

• We offer well above award rates with 10.5% superannuation and lots of options for overtime
• A company culture that genuinely values its people but isn’t afraid to have some fun
• For drivers looking to set themselves up, there are opportunities for a lease-to-buy arrangement with zero start-up costs

• Multiple performance incentives across the year that really add up financially
• Significant increase to your earning potential during Dec/Jan busy period
• Significant discounts on storage options across the country
• We have a flexible work policy so our people can balance work and life

 You may not fit the requirements 100% but that’s ok, like we said we focus on training and development. If you are looking for a career and not just a job, you’re in the right place!
