Jatec Transport

JATEC Transport is a family-owned business built on dedication, hard work, and a passion for the transport industry. Our journey began in 2003 when Troy, our founder, purchased his first truck as an owner-operator. With the unwavering support of his wife, Jane - the first female in our company - JATEC quickly grew from a one-truck operation into the thriving business it is today, now running over 15 trucks proudly servicing New South Wales and most recently expanding into Queensland. As a proud corporate member of Transport Women Australia Limited (TWAL), we are committed to fostering diversity and inclusivity in the transport industry. What started with just one female has now expanded to four incredible women who play vital roles both in our office and behind the wheel. Their contributions help drive our success while strengthening gender diversity within the workplace. At JATEC Transport, we believe in creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and supporting the next generation of transport professionals. Our Corporate membership with TWAL aligns with our values of equality and progress, ensuring that women continue to have a strong and respected presence in the industry.

Tammy Wade

Tammy began her career as a junior clerk in the transport industry right after finishing school, and now, 30 years later, she continues to thrive in this field. Currently, she specialises in fragile sensitive freight, managing aspects related to Safety, Compliance, HR, and Accounts. Recently, Tammy had the opportunity to review her company's ESG initiatives, where she gained valuable insights and thoroughly enjoyed the process. A significant highlight of her career in 2024 was assisting an employee and his family in obtaining work-sponsored visas, allowing them to continue their lives and careers in Australia. Tammy will embark on her Certificate IV in Human Resources this year, which she anticipates will be a valuable experience. She highly recommends the transport industry to anyone considering this path, noting its numerous opportunities, rewarding nature, and constant evolution, making it an exciting field to be a part of.
