Keith and Marg Hendy started Hendy Transport in the early 70s with one ‘butter box’ Acco carting sheep to the Donald Abattoir. When the abattoir folded they did a bit of interstate work carting tiles to Adelaide.
In the early 80s they purchased their first tipper. They also purchased 2 "International" trucks, & started carting live poultry.
In the late 80s, the purchase of an existing business helped them to expand into general small freight. They bought their first refrigerated truck soon after and carted offal to Wodonga overnight.
The early 90s, with Troy returning to the business, saw the company really begin to grow.
The purchase of another transport company, was the beginning of carting to local IGA supermarkets, while still carting general freight in and out of Melbourne. The purchase of tankers & tippers began the carting of bulk stockfeed & grain.
