1. Assisting Members in Recovering Money Owed

Although VTU is not a debt collection agency, we understand the importance of receiving payment for the hard work and dedication of our members. Through our support and guidance, we have successfully assisted hundreds of owner-drivers in recovering money owed to them by their hirers. By standing up for our members' rights and ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve, we help to create a more equitable industry for all.

2. Assistance with WorkCover Claims

Accidents and injuries can happen on the job, and navigating the complexities of WorkCover claims can be challenging for owner-drivers. Recognizing this, the VTU has developed strong relationships with law firms specializing in WorkCover claims. As a result, we are well-equipped to offer assistance and support to owner-drivers who have been injured at work. By providing guidance and connecting our members with expert legal services, we help to ensure they receive the compensation and support they need to recover and get back on their feet.

3. Exclusive Discounts for Members

At the VTU, we're always looking for ways to leverage our membership numbers to secure better deals on essential business expenses, such as fuel. By negotiating exclusive discounts for our members, we help to reduce their operating costs and improve their bottom line. These savings not only benefit our members financially, but also contribute to the overall health and success of their businesses.

4. Assisting Owner-Drivers in Negotiating Collective Agreements

The VTU stands out as one of the few organizations with the experience, expertise, and legal support necessary to help owner-drivers negotiate fair contracts with their hirers. We believe that collective agreements can play a crucial role in improving rates and working conditions for owner-drivers in the Victorian construction industry. Our team works closely with members to understand their specific needs and concerns, providing tailored guidance and support throughout the negotiation process. By empowering owner-drivers with the knowledge and resources they need to negotiate effectively, we contribute to a more just and equitable industry where drivers are fairly compensated for their hard work and dedication.
