Transport Jobs
Transport jobs mainly deal in the manufacturing and delivery of goods and people throughout Australia and overseas. Goods and people are transported by Road, Rail, Sea and Air so the Transport Industry encompasses all these forms of transport. Finding work in the transport industry can be quite difficult depending on the field of Transport you wish to get into. There are many different areas of transporting goods from the manufacturer to the place of purchase.
Courier Drivers
Many courier drivers make a good living out of delivering goods. Most are required to run their own vehicles and work for large transport companies. The large transport companies now tend to give a designated area to delivery drivers to cover. They actually buy the route and work for themselves with a guaranteed income from parcels delivered within this route. Depending on the amount of work generated within the drivers area the cost of buying that route can increase or decrease. The driver is required to go to a central location to pick up the goods and deliver them throughout the day. This is appealing to a lot of people, as they don't have a boss and work for themselves. Courier jobs and routes can generally be found in the local newspapers.
Truck Transport
Some major transport companies employ hundreds of people in their transport business from truck drivers to Distribution managers to clerical staff to warehouse manager. To get into the transport industry you don't really need any extra study as most companies will provide on the job training for the right job seeker. There is also room for advancement within larger transport companies. Most new employee's will start within the warehouse and can progress to distribution manager or warehouse manager. Obviously if you are driving a truck you will need a special truck license before you can transport anything. Some transport drivers have their own trucks and this can be fruitful for someone who owns their own truck but there are many downsides. The cost of buying and running a truck is too big an obstruction for lots of people and it's easier to work for a company. There is also the pressure of delivering the goods on time and with the crackdown on driving too many hours this has become a big problem for truckowners trying to make ends meet.
Train Transport
Train and road transport is still the most convenient way of transporting large quantities of goods. Most major docks in Australia have train lines leading to them to make it convenient to pick up and distribute goods. Jobs can be found in the loading and unloading of trains and obviously the train driver. Train drivers need a special license to transport goods by train line. With train transport the company will need train drivers and clerical staff to transport goods.
Air Transport
Air transport mainly take care of small interstate or overseas items which need to be delivered as soon as possible. Air Transport companies have pilots, office staff and warehouse staff to take care of the running of the business. Air Transport companies also employ couriers to pick up and deliver parcels from the airport, some work directly for the airline and others and freelance.
Transport is a huge industry in Australia due to its huge landscape and there is a lot of money to be made within the industry given the right circumstances. Jobs in this industry are advertised in a variety of ways, newspapers, online and job agencies.
