The Victorian Truck Drivers’ Memorial (VTDM) in Alexandra, Victoria, was erected as place of reflection and solemn remembrance for families and friends of Victorians who have lost their lives while at work on the road, or after a significant link to the transport industry. The Memorial is an inherently apolitical, secular, not-for-profit institution serving all who come to remember; an everlasting tribute to the truck drivers after which it’s named.

“After a couple of difficult years, we are very pleased to be able to continue to bring friends and families of truck drivers who have lost their lives together, an honour them at our Annual Memorial Service,” said Craig Lloyd, President of the VTDM
