Next generation – Transforming the freight industry

LoadLogistics.com.au is transforming the freight industry with its new and innovative digital marketplace, designed to seamlessly connect Shippers and Carriers across the country.

The LoadLogistics.com.au platform offers a modern, automated solution for freight transportation, eliminating inefficiencies and making logistics operations smoother than ever.

Family owned and operated, LoadLogistics.com.au was designed as a family effort and developed by Owen Herbert – from the ground up.

The Herbert family’s experience in trucking goes back three generations, beginning with Owen’s grandfather Noel who ran his own trucking business. His son Cameron (Owen’s father) began driving trucks for him before eventually going out on his own. Together with his wife Jacqueline (Owen’s mother), they went on to own several road transport businesses, specialising in heavy haulage, shipping containers and wet and dry hire of road construction equipment. Daughter Ava is on track to commence her tertiary Information Technology studies in 2026, and has been working alongside her older brother Owen, creating graphic and design features on the platform.

As Technical Director of LoadLogistics.com.au, Owen has a background in Information Technology and Software Engineering. With over five years of experience working with universities and large organisations across Australia, his expertise in building scalable, secure, and user-friendly software has been instrumental in creating a marketplace that simplifies freight transportation for Shippers and Carriers alike.

And that’s where LoadLogistics.com.au comes in.

Originally operating as Supply and Resources, LoadLogistics.com.au provided logistics and heavy haulage services across Far North Queensland. Over time, the business recognised the need for a more streamlined and technology-driven approach to freight matching, which led to the transformation of the business into a digital freight marketplace. “We know from years of experience, the challenges involved in running a transport business in Australia, with the pressures of family work/life balance, long distances, high running costs and long hours,” states Cameron Herbert.
