Best super fund for truck drivers and transport workers
Transport and logistics work carries significant injury and fatigue risk. You want strong TPD and income protection at group rates, plus a fund that understands irregular earnings and multi-employer histories.
Cbus serves transport-adjacent heavy industry with worker-friendly TPD definitions, income protection priced for physical roles, and a long track record of paying claims in injury-prone sectors.
Runners up
Solid alternatives if Cbus doesn’t fit your situation:
- REST — 7.40% p.a. 10y return, $398/yr at $50k. Industry fund for the retail sector and younger members.
- AustralianSuper — 7.90% p.a. 10y return, $337/yr at $50k. Australia's largest super fund by members and assets.
What to check before switching
- Owner-drivers should check contribution caps and whether they can claim a personal deduction — see our self-employed super guide
- Check if your employer enterprise agreement names a specific default fund (often TWUSUPER, now part of MineSuper)
- Long-distance drivers should look at total-and-permanent-disability definition carefully before accepting default cover
The three things that matter for every occupation
- 10-year net return beats any marketing claim. Check the ATO YourSuper tool.
- Fees in dollars, not percentages. At your balance, what does each fund actually charge per year?
- Insurance defaults vs your actual needs. Use our insurance cost calculator to see the retirement-savings trade-off.
Use the calculator
Plug any two funds into our compare funds calculator with your actual balance — the dollar gap over 20 years can be enormous even between “similar” funds.
