VALE ~ Stanley 'Neil' SCOTT.
28.06.1927 - 05.07.2019.
Inductee National Road Transport Hall of Fame 2009.
Inductee Deniliquin & District Transport Wall of fame 2016.
Neil operated Neil Scott Transport from 1951 to 1988, with his wife Olive becoming involved after their marriage in 1954.
Neil and Olive’s three children — Bruce, Wayne (dec) and Lynda (Danckert) — all eventually became involved in the business too.
For their passion for the industry, both Neil and Wayne have been inducted into the National Road Transport Hall of Fame, in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
They were both recognised for their contribution to the industry, particularly through the family business, Neil Scott Transport.
Neil Scott Transport’s first truck was a WC22 White with a two-deck sheep crate and trailer.
It marked the beginning of the business, which at its height managed a fleet of eight trucks.
The company mainly carted livestock but also had a contract to cart fuel to Deniliquin and Hay for Shell, as well as carrying new Holden cars from Dandenong to the local dealership.
Neil became one of the first in NSW and Victoria to use tri-axle and drop deck trailers in livestock cartage.
The technique was successful in minimising injury to cattle because of the high deck height and provided room for decks of sheep.
Neil was also the first in the local area to use computers for accounting and for fleet costing.
He installed HF radios to keep in contact with the trucks to provide a better level of service to his customers.
‘‘Neil made valuable contributions to the livestock carrying industry through his vision of implementing new ideas and being involved in various transport committees including the Livestock Carriers Association of New South Wales,’’ Neil’s Hall of Fame induction outline said.
Our thoughts are with Neils family today as he is laid to rest at the Deniliquin Lawn Cemetery.
