Our History
Black Cat Transport began in 1980, founded by Bill and Esther Gibbs as Gibbo’s Black Cat Transport.
It started with just one truck and one driver—Gibbo himself—with a vision to deliver freight safely and reliably throughout Victoria and beyond.
Over time, the business expanded to a fleet of trucks, earning respect for its iconic vehicles and strong industry relationships with major partners such as Visy, Meadow Lea, and Omicron.
In 2000, the original business closed due to Bill’s health issues, and for many years the Black Cat name was absent from Australian roads.
Tragically, Bill passed away in 2012.
After a 20-year pause, Bill’s daughter Lauren and son-in-law Luke relaunched the business under the familiar Black Cat Transport name.
With Luke behind the wheel and Lauren managing operations, the company is once again active on Australia’s roads and highways—upholding the legacy her parents started and committed to quality service for all clients, no matter the job size or destination
