The History of Sykes Transport

The origins of our general road freight transport company date back to 1959 when the founder, Roger Sykes, commenced trucking operations in Geelong, Victoria. At the time, local deliveries were carried out in a utility and as the business expanded more staff were employed and by 1962 a four tonne tray truck had been purchased. In 1963 a semi-trailer was added to the transport fleet, which then consisted of four vehicles, and the first interstate load was carried.

Steady expansion followed and by 1973 ten vehicles were in operation, mostly on interstate runs in Geelong. In 1981 the business was incorporated and a company depot in Perth was established. In 1998, for economic reasons, most of the road interstate transport operations ceased and David Sykes took over as C.E.O. The company has progressed rapidly since then.
