ALRTA – 30 years strong
The ALRTA (originally the ALTA) was founded at a meeting on Wednesday 9 October 1985 held at the Australian Meat and Livestock Corporation in Sydney.

- 4.6m high livestock crates
- Charging reform
- Better network access
- 26m B-Doubles/steerable axles
- National Heavy Vehicle Regulator
- Animal welfare
- Development of truckCare
- National Ramp Guidelines

- Development of LivestockASSIST
- Anti-lock braking exemptions
- 160K radius log book exemptions
- AFM Templates for livestock carriers
- Effluent management/Truckwashes
