Move Yourself Trailer Hire

Move Yourself Trailer Hire (MYST) is an Australian trailer and vehicle hire business founded in 1985 by Bill Cowie. The company operates a national network of self-service hire locations, offering trailers, utes, trucks, car carriers, horse floats and bike trailers for moving, rubbish removal and general transport needs. According to its official website, the network spans more than 900 depots and thousands of trailers, utes, trucks and lawnmowers, supported by nearly 100 staff. The business is family-owned, with Bill Cowie's three children working alongside him, and it positions itself on convenience, affordability and Australian-made equipment. Move Yourself builds its trailers in-house using Australian-made components where possible, and its self-service electronic hiring system is designed to let customers hook up and go without waiting in line. The company serves both household movers and light commercial users, with one-way hire available via its booking centre. Its stated vision is to maintain a leading national hiring system that is quick, effective and easy to use.

Move Yourself Trailer Hire was founded in 1985 by Bill Cowie. Before starting the business, Cowie built trailers commercially, beginning with an arc welder and hacksaw. He built his first trailer in a dirt-floored workshop attached to a service station in the 1970s and offered it for sale. From these origins, the company grew into a national hire network. By the 2020s, Move Yourself reported almost 1,000 sites across Australia, more than 4,000 trailers, utes, trucks and lawnmowers, and nearly 100 employees. The business remains family-owned, with Bill Cowie's three children working alongside him. The company has invested in a self-service electronic hiring system and continues to build its trailers in-house using Australian-made components where possible.
