| New President and Committee for LRTAQ  ALRTA congratulates Jared Seiler of Seiler’s Transport on his election as the new President of the Livestock and Rural Transporters Association of Queensland (LRTAQ). Jared was appointed at LRTAQ’s recent 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 13 February 2025 on the Gold Coast, alongside a newly formed management committee. Jared brings extensive experience to the role, having grown up in the livestock transport industry and now running Seiler’s Transport, a family business operating 19 trucks across Queensland and Northern NSW. His longstanding commitment to industry advocacy includes serving as the Queensland representative on ALRTA’s Driver & Animal Welfare Committee and contributing to national discussions on Chain of Responsibility and animal welfare accreditation. We look forward to working with Jared and the LRTAQ team to continue supporting Queensland’s livestock and rural transporters. Jared Seiler, LRTAQ President |
