About us
Prime Star Commodities is the transport arm of the Prime Star Cropping family farming operation, with on-farm storage at Moonie and Goondiwindi. We are farmers first, and our family values guide everything we do. We work with respect and accountability, strive for excellence through growth, and believe in cooperative communication. Much of our haulage supports our own farming business, and we also cart for a growing base of external customers.
About the role
Reporting directly to the farm management team, you’ll cart grain (wheat, barley, sorghum and chickpea) and fertilizer from our on-farm and external storage to the Brisbane Port, surrounding areas and feedlots. Most routes are within Southern Queensland, with some trips into Northern New South Wales. The work changes with the seasons and market conditions, but the role is permanent and year-round.
You’ll work a Monday to Friday roster, with some weekend work when it’s needed, particularly at harvest.
What you’ll do
- Operate our Kenworth T659 and Robuk A-double combination safely and efficiently
- Load accurately using digital on-board scales (live weights in the V-DAQ phone app) and keep mass records
- Complete daily pre-start checks, couple and uncouple, and take care of the equipment
- Follow fatigue management requirements and keep a work diary
- Keep in touch with load and unload sites, customers and the farm team
The ideal team member suited to our team will
- Work independently while maintaining regular, clear communication with their manager.
- Take pride in keeping both the interior and exterior of the truck clean, tidy and well presented.
- Carry out thorough truck inspections regularly to ensure it is safe, clean and ready for use,
proactively identifying and promptly reporting any maintenance issues, damage or safety concerns.
- Maintain a positive attitude and present a professional appearance, communicating respectfully and professionally with team members and external clients.
- Demonstrate a strong work ethic and take responsibility for their work, ensuring care is taken when loading, unloading and transporting goods safely and efficiently.
- Be reliable, punctual and safety-conscious, following company procedures and ensuring deliveries are completed on time and to a high standard.
- What you’ll bring
- A current MC licence and MC driving experience
- A good driving record and a safety-first attitude
- Completed medical assessment and TLIF0005 (fatigue risk management), or willingness to complete them
- Ability to carry out general truck maintenance (preferred, not essential)
Why you’ll enjoy working with us
- Permanent, year-round work with above-award wages
- Modern, well-maintained equipment, including a Kenworth T659 with modern accessories
- Support to grow your skills through further training, tickets and licences
- A family business where you’re part of the team, not a number in a fleet
- A close-knit rural community where your work is seen and valued
