About us

We comprise of two businesses, Zarb Road Transport Pty and NDL Transport Pty Ltd with common directors and shared support services that facilitate each business to work both independently and jointly, based on the unique needs of the job.

Zarb Road Transport was officially established in 1966, where the original founder Casey Zarb, started the venture into the Sugar industry, signing the first contract which soon expanded and saw the growth of Zarb Road Transport establish its second business NDL Transport Pty Ltd in 2004. Original founder Casey Zarb retired from the business in early 2000, with his son David Zarb and the Zarb Family taking over and continuing the success of the business.
