Meet the team
Jason and Rebecca — the family behind every JMG job.
JMG Transport is run by Jason and Rebecca, or Bec to everyone who knows her, from their place in Pleystowe. Both of them are out on the road driving the trucks and operating the cranes, and Bec also keeps bookings, paperwork and the business side moving behind the scenes.
Their son Jai is the other driver, behind the wheel and on the cranes alongside them. And their other son Charlie is the best offsider on the team — always keen to lend a hand and learn the ropes. A proper family operation.
Pick up the phone and you're talking straight to one of them. No call centre, no middleman. They answer the calls themselves and they show up when they say they will.
Hear it from our customers.
We've built JMG on repeat work and word of mouth across Mackay and the Bowen Basin. Here's what locals say about us on Google.
What a fantastic delivery service. We used JMG Transport about a dozen times in the last few months to deliver construction materials and honestly every experience and each delivery was nothing short of exceptional! Professional, punctual, great communication and a friendly smile. The materials arrived in perfect condition as promised and nothing was too much trouble. Will certainly use them again and have no hesitation in highly recommending them for all your transport needs. Thanks heaps guys!
Jason was quick to answer my calls and dealt with my questions and requests in a straightforward and professional manner. While he was collecting an item from a local transport depot for me he noticed damage to the item when it was loaded. He then took the time to call me, waited for me to arrive to show me what was wrong, and helped guide me through getting it sorted out with them. How can you ask for more. This is the bloke you want on your team!
Jason was very good to deal with. Great communication via the phone and text and assisted arranging pickup and delivery. Could not fault level of service and would highly recommend.
Absolutely 5-star service from this transport company! They are incredibly reliable, upbeat, always on time and handle every job with total professionalism.
Wow these guys are awesome. My tradesman put the pressure on me to have the sheeting delivered same day and these guys went above and beyond to make it happen. The driver was super friendly and efficient. Will definitely recommend this company for deliveries.
We used JMG Transport to bring our building products and even with the bad weather Jason was still more than happy to assist with his crane unloading.
Professional and speedy service. Highly recommend in the Mackay area.

The third is an 8-tonne truck on an 8.5-metre tray with a front-mounted crane — our everyday all-rounder. Tell us your load and we'll pick the right one.
What kinds of loads do you handle?
Structural steel, timber and sheeting, general construction materials, water tanks, transportable buildings and most construction freight. If you're not sure we can lift or carry it, give us a call and we'll let you know.
