Wagga Trucks Expands Operations to Canberra

Wagga Trucks, a renowned name in regional Australia's truck dealership sector, is set to broaden its horizons by establishing operations in the Canberra region starting July 20, 2026. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the family-owned business, which has been committed to supporting operators across the Riverina and beyond since its inception in 1997.

As one of Australia’s most trusted dealers, Wagga Trucks will bring nearly three decades of industry experience to Canberra and its surrounding areas, including the southern Highlands, Goulburn, and parts of the South Coast, from Ulladulla to Eden. This move ensures that operators in these regions will gain direct access to a dealership known for its strong customer relationships and proven track record.

A Commitment to Excellence
Matt Shaw, co-owner of Wagga Trucks alongside his wife Naomi, expressed that the expansion is a natural progression for the company, building upon its established national reach while retaining its regional roots. "Having served operators across Australia for many years, this expansion into the Canberra area means that local businesses can now leverage our extensive expertise," Shaw explained. "Our commitment remains steadfast: to provide exceptional service, the same team standards, and a comprehensive parts capability to keep operators on the road."

Meet the New Operations Manager
At the helm of the new Queanbeyan-based operations will be Ben Yates, who brings with him over 20 years of experience in the truck, transport, and rural industries. Yates is known for his practical understanding of what operators demand from their dealerships. His local knowledge and experience position him to address the operational needs of the industry effectively. He commented, "I understand the operational demands and the critical nature of having a reliable dealer partner who can facilitate smooth operations for local businesses."

In collaboration with Wagga Trucks' General Manager, Olivia, Yates will work diligently to uphold the company's high service standards while building a strong presence in the Canberra area.

Business and Community Commitment
President and CEO Martin Merrick emphasized the importance of having local leadership at the Queanbeyan operation, noting, "This transition into the hands of an experienced and committed dealer partner ensures continuity for our customers and strengthens our footprint in the Canberra region."

The new operation will not only handle sales of new and used trucks but also provide comprehensive workshop servicing and a dedicated parts department. With a focus on brands like Volvo, UD, Mack, and Freighter Group Trailers, the new dealership aims to offer a comprehensive suite of services to meet the demands of local operators.

This expansion of Wagga Trucks reaffirms its dedication to delivering outstanding sales and aftersales service, a commitment that has endeared it to customers throughout its history. The company looks forward to cultivating strong relationships with the Canberra community as it sets out on this exciting new chapter.

In conclusion, Wagga Trucks is poised to make a positive impact in the Canberra region, thanks to a strategic blend of local knowledge, industry expertise, and a customer-first approach that has characterized the company since its founding. With robust support systems and a renowned reputation, Wagga Trucks is geared up to ensure that businesses in the Canberra area can continue to thrive on the road.
