🚜 Farm vs Commercial Registration Reminder 🚛

Ask yourself one simple question:

👉 Did I get paid by someone else to move their livestock on my truck?

If the answer is YES, you should ensure your vehicle is registered under the appropriate commercial registration class.

If the answer is NO, and you only transport your own livestock for your own farming purposes, then farm registration may be appropriate.

As businesses evolve, the way trucks are used can change over time. What may have started as a vehicle used solely for farm activities can gradually become involved in commercial transport operations.

It is important to remember that operating a vehicle outside the conditions of its registration can result in significant penalties and fines.

The LRTAQ has long advocated for a fair and level playing field across the livestock and rural transport industry. Operators who invest in doing the right thing and meeting their regulatory obligations should not be placed at a disadvantage by those operating outside the rules.

This post is not about pointing fingers. It is simply a reminder to review your circumstances and make sure your registration accurately reflects how your vehicle is being used today.
✅ Have your circumstances changed?
✅ Is your registration still appropriate?
✅ Are you protecting your business from unnecessary penalties?

A quick review today could prevent a costly mistake tomorrow.

No ticks. No fee.
From 1 July 2026, a $2,750 fee will apply at Dalby Regional Saleyards where cattle ticks are confirmed.
Confirming cattle are tick free before transporting them is the simplest way to avoid the cost and help protect our tick-free zone.
Protect your cattle. Protect our region. Confirm tick-free status before you transport.

I would like to take this time to say I hope everyone has a lovely Easter and maybe even getting a little time with the kids home from boarding school or Grandies on School holidays.
We had a bit of time off over Easter for a friend’s daughter’s wedding and a quick trip out for a fish then caught up with some family last night.

Didn’t have much luck on the fishing side of things, but it was good to slow down for a minute and enjoy a bit of quiet time.

Back into it now with plenty happening and trucks rolling again this week.

Truck Wash Day

Not every day is spent on the road.

In between loads it’s a good chance to wash down and keep the gear in good order.

It’s all part of the job — keeping things clean, maintained and ready to go for the next run.

We are busy early in the week with saleyard work, and usually have a bit more room mid-week if cattle need shifting.

Give Mick or Kathleen a call if you need a truck.
