The Australian transport industry came together in Brisbane recently for the inaugural Get Yourself Checked Gala, with the night’s headline moment including the auction of a City Fleet Sitrak C9H 660HP Prime Mover.

At the landmark event, created to raise awareness and funds for men’s health and prostate cancer, the City Fleet Sitrak donation helped drive the fundraising total to an extraordinary $1.2 million.

A prime mover for a prime cause

City Fleet Sitrak stepped up as a Gold Sponsor, donating the Euro 6‑compliant C9H Prime Mover – a truck that features 660 horsepower output, advanced emissions technology, and a commanding road presence.

The truck itself, was purchased by Vision Freight Systems, was further enhanced by Kentweld Bullbars, with VSF’s winning bid underscored the industry’s commitment to supporting men’s health initiatives.

Their investment wasn’t just in a vehicle; it was in the lives of countless men who will benefit from greater awareness and early detection of prostate cancer.

Industry leaders driving change

The gala was spearheaded by Followmont Transport CEO Mark Tobin and his long‑time friend Brett Hanly, who launched the Get Yourself Checked charity earlier this year. Their vision is simple yet powerful: encourage men to take proactive steps in monitoring their health, while rallying the transport sector to lead by example.

The event drew a cross‑section of transport operators, suppliers, and community leaders, all united by a shared cause. The atmosphere was electric, proof that when the trucking industry mobilises, it can deliver impact far beyond the road.

More than just fundraising

While the $1.2 million raised is a headline achievement, the gala’s deeper success lies in its message. Prostate cancer remains one of the most common health challenges facing Australian men, and early detection is critical.

By putting a prime mover at the centre of the campaign, City Fleet Sitrak and its partners highlighted how the industry’s assets can be leveraged for social good. The night also showcased how transport brands can extend their influence beyond logistics.

It demonstrated how they can become advocates for community wellbeing.

Why men’s health matters

Prostate cancer is one of the most common health challenges facing Australian men, yet awareness and early detection remain stubbornly low. Too often, men ignore symptoms or delay check‑ups, putting themselves at greater risk.

The Get Yourself Checked initiative is about breaking that cycle, encouraging conversations, normalising regular health checks, and reminding men that prevention is always better than cure.

For the transport industry, where long hours and demanding schedules are the norm, this message is especially urgent.

A message for every man

The gala’s success wasn’t just measured in dollars raised, but in the clarity of its call to action: every man should take responsibility for his health. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a prime mover, running a business, or simply juggling everyday life, the reminder is the same.

 Book that check‑up, talk to your doctor, and don’t wait until it’s too late. The industry’s leaders have shown that strength isn’t just about horsepower; it’s about courage to face health head‑on.

Looking ahead

City Fleet Sitrak has signalled that this donation is only the beginning of its commitment to men’s health. With the C9H now working in Vision Freight’s fleet, its legacy will continue on the highways, carrying with it the story of a community that came together to make a difference.

For OnlyTrucks readers, this event is a powerful case study in how automotive culture intersects with social responsibility. It demonstrates that the vehicles we celebrate aren’t just feats of engineering, they can be catalysts for change.
