Our Story

The Sons in FM & Sons Haulage - The Devereux Boys
about
As the name suggests, we are

Family Owned & Operated

Our team combines in-depth brokerage expertise, extensive haulage know-how, and the customer service and management capabilities required to guarantee satisfaction.

A business that started with one truck in 2022, has quickly grown into a competitive bulk logistics provider. We exist to support growers in the Mallee, in South Australia and those in the Riverina and Far West of NSW. We provide a year-round dedicated grains service. 

We now have more that 15 registered trucks through various subcontractors, as well as our own, ensuring we can support our customers with their logistical needs. It is a variable model that allows us to support your own fleet for a short period of time, or provide a total contract management solution.  

Behind the scenes, we are a blended tribe full of boys, so there are always plenty of extra hands to scrub the chrome on the trucks.

Our Values

We challenge the status quo. We have had a long, hard look at the haulage industry, and we have identified an opportunity to add grain expertise and modern business practices to a sector that has barely changed in decades.

First and foremost, we bring a refreshing level of professionalism to the work that we do. That means sound, professional advice, clear and efficient communication and management systems. It ultimately means our customers can trust us.

With our professional approach you can count on the fact that safety is at the forefront of what we do. Paramount in haulage,  stringent safety systems and a strong safety culture ensure we minimise risks for our customers, and us too.

Mostly, professionalism and a safety culture depend on people. So, we are very carefully building our team with dedicated individuals who share our values and our vision. We believe in teamwork and accountability, so everyone knows where they stand and what they are responsible for. We know when our team is confident and part of the game plan, they perform well, which is why we work together in all that we do!

We also value our assets, our plant and our machinery. Like people, machines work better when preventative maintenance is applied. As much as drovers depended on their horses and dogs we depend on our trucks, computer network, and phones. We proactively manage risks to our business and our relationships with customers.

So much of our approach to haulage can be summed up in two words: no surprises. You don’t want them and nor do we. So, we are constantly working on limiting the potential for surprises to be avoided and for complications to be anticipated, planned for and resolved.

Located in the Mallee, we transport grains, chick peas and lentils from the Murray Mallee in South Australia, Wimmera and Mallee in Victoria, Far West and Riverina Murray regions of New South Wales to feed lots, mills, Melbourne Port, Geelong and Adelaide Ports.

We often transport loads of granular fertilisers, gypsum, lime, garden supplies, stone and aggregate back to these regions. We provide a flexible and responsive service, so we invite you to put us to the test.
