PLEASE NOTE:
• The above rates have been derived from a comprehensive schedule of Owner Driver Rates published in the Western
Australian Government Gazette on Friday 23 March 2012.
• They are based on vehicles that are 5+years old.
• Rates are also available for new vehicles and computer modelling is available for all types of vehicles and businesses.
• The Regional Haulier rates are for all kilometres travelled on a RETURN TRIP.
• The Regional Full-Rigger rates are based on a ONE WAY TRIP.
The TWU maintains that the state government endorsed Guideline Rates in the above schedule are the minimum payments
for running a safe and sustainable owner truck driver operation.
The TWU will assist owner-driver members in negotiating appropriate safe and sustainable rates with prime contractors and
hirers.
