How We Started
One team, one call away, since 1998. Here’s how a Victorian freight company built its name on taking the jobs other carriers wouldn’t.
About Auz
Since 1998
AUZ Country Carriers has been on Victorian roads since 1998. Between our two Directors, that’s over 75 years of combined industry and management experience. We stick to road transport, third-party logistics, and supply chain solutions, and we’ve stayed narrow on purpose.
We built our name serving the building and construction industry, and for more than 20 years we’ve done the same for farming and engineering businesses that needed a carrier who understood the freight, not just the delivery address.
Nearly Three Decades on the Road
1998
The year it started, and we’re still at it.
75+

Depots across Victoria: Dandenong South, Morwell, and Bairnsdale.
20+
Years serving the farming and engineering industries specifically.
Experience means something different for a freight company than it does for most businesses. Years on the job buy you route knowledge, driver relationships, and knowing exactly what a specific stretch of road does to a load of steel in the middle of summer. You can’t shortcut that, and a new operator can’t fake it.
Why Businesses Stay With Us
One Team. One Call Away.
Ring us, and you’ll get the same team every time. They already know your freight and your business. We don’t run a call centre, and we don’t make you wait on a ticket number.
Safety and Sustainability, Not Just a Slogan
We continuously upgrade our delivery systems and technology, and we take our environmental responsibility seriously: monitoring our processes to work as safely and efficiently as possible, and looking for ways to reduce our footprint as the effects of climate change become harder to ignore.
What You Can Expect
The Freight Others Won’t Touch
Oversized, awkward, dangerous goods, specialised handling. If another carrier said no, we’re the one you call next.
One Dedicated Team
The same people coordinating your freight from booking through to delivery, every time.
No Minimum Spend
Five pallets a week or five hundred, every customer gets the same priority. No tiering, no snobbery.
Three Victorian Depots
Dandenong South, Morwell, and Bairnsdale give us local know-how backed by Victoria-wide and interstate reach.
3PL & Warehousing Support
Storage, pick and pack, and distribution available as part of the same connected service, not a separate provider.
Real People, Real Accountability
When something needs sorting, it gets sorted with a phone call to someone who can actually fix it.
