Local transport operators going the distance
This Port Albert based transport company has been digging, moving and transporting supplies all over Rodney for nearly 50 years. Dave’s grandfather, Charlie Smith, set up the business. Dave and Keryn Smith then bought the company from Dave’s parents in 2015, developing it into the business that it is today. As a third-generation Smiths Transport owner, driver and operator, Dave Smith really understands how to work with clients in this region to deliver the right solutions.
Moving with the times
New ideas are fundamental to successful transport operators. Dave and Keryn constantly inject fresh thinking into the business of excavation and transportation, adopting and adapting ideas that add value for their loyal and ever-growing base of customers.
