Keeping all six in one fleet removes the usual bottleneck: a container job never waits on a flatbed, and a plant move never waits on a hired-in lowbed.

Tractor Units

[NUMBER] units

Prime movers / horses

The backbone of the fleet. Road-going prime movers coupled to semi-trailers for long-haul and corridor work, configured for the gradients and load limits of the regional routes rather than for flat-country running.

Skeletal Trailers

[NUMBER] units

Container chassis

Purpose-built container chassis with twist-lock positions for 20ft and 40ft boxes. Keeping dedicated skeletals in the fleet means container work never has to wait for a flatbed to come free.

Cargo Trucks

[NUMBER] units

Rigid box and curtain-side

Rigid bodies for cargo that has to stay dry and secure — bagged goods, cartons, consumer products. Smaller footprint than an articulated unit, which matters for urban delivery and tight warehouse yards.

Fleet support

Keeping the fleet available.

A fleet is only capacity if it is available. This is what sits behind the units themselves.

  • In-house maintenance

    Servicing and repairs handled at [OWN WORKSHOP / CONTRACTED WORKSHOP — CONFIRM], on a preventive schedule rather than after a breakdown.

  • Spares held in stock

    Fast-moving parts kept on hand so a routine failure costs hours, not days waiting on an import.

  • Employed drivers

    [NUMBER] drivers on staff, licensed for the classes they operate and inducted on our loading and securing standards.

  • Tracking on every unit

    [TRACKING SYSTEM — CONFIRM] fitted fleet-wide, so location and status can be confirmed on request.
