CMV Truck & Bus is a division of the CMV Group, a family business founded in 1934 by Sidney Crawford.
CMV Truck & Bus have more than 500 employees across seven branch locations, with 13 staff based at their Shepparton site. CMV Truck & Bus also has dealerships in Clayton, Dandenong, Derrimut, Gippsland, Epping and Wodonga.
Over the last 23 years, they have proudly operated alongside their Shepparton business partners Don and Sharon Dimstas, who operated D&S Truck Repairs. In early 2021 Don and Sharon retired and CMV Truck & Bus acquired the business from them. While they’ve always been very active in the Goulburn Valley, they’re thrilled to now be part of the community and support the local economy. They are looking forward to continuing to grow CMV Truck & Bus in Shepparton and take on additional Technicians and Apprentices.
CMV Truck & Bus are focused on ensuring that customer needs can be met safely and efficiently, now and into the future. This is achieved by ensuring that the best staff are attracted to the business, who can then deliver the best customer service. They have a clear vision in mind. A vision to be an industry leader in service excellence, across truck and bus sales, parts, finance and the critically important workshop, and to be a trusted and skilled service provider to the growing customer base in Victoria.
At the heart of the CMV Group is what they call the ‘Three Peaks’ Policy. This is a culture of placing equal importance on employees, customers and our community. In doing so, they strive for continual improvement and quality while upholding our values.
The CMV Foundation is a charitable trust deriving funding from dividends received from the shareholding in the CMV Group. Its charter is to make donations to worthy causes in the local community. The Trustees of the CMV Foundation welcome suggestions from employees who through their involvement in community groups, schools and clubs etc. are aware of causes worth supporting.
“We’re proud to be a part of the business community in Shepparton and contribute to the local economy. Transport is a cornerstone industry in the region with its strong agricultural industry and it’s geographically important local to interstate freight. We might be a little biased but we think it’s one of the best regions in Victoria.”
