The latest addition to our transport assets is Fleet #19, a Kenworth T359 prime mover featuring the ever-reliable Cummins ISMe5 powerplant coupled to an Eaton Ultrashift 10 speed transmission: the ideal short haul solution. In keeping with our tradition of trucks being nicknamed after their brand (e.g: Fleet #10 Star Attraction) this one is called "Worth the Wait" and is seen here with Steelbro sidelifter "Thing" about to commence duties on our evening shift. Big shout outs to Darren, Craig and Luke from Wales(All Transport Crash) for the paintwork and also Jim and Pete from SignChief for the signage and scrollwork.

Happy New Year to All! May your 2024 be happy and prosperous!! Even though you may be a feeling a little seedy from ushering in the New Year we can reassure you of one thing: you are seeing double!

Wishing all our customers and suppliers a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2024!
If you are travelling our country roads during the break please be mindful of heavy vehicles when attempting overtaking.....also plan your drive with regular breaks.
Remember, we want you to get to your destination and watch the TV news, not be a part of it.

Thank You Russell Tovey for some very cool black and white photography featuring Fleet #11. This pic has a real 'back in the day' feel proving that 'Old skool is still Kool!'

It took a while, but it was worth the wait! Concrete being poured in the workshop at our Port Adelaide depot on Friday 29th September 2023.

Similarly, our Fisher Street gate has been widened ahead of the installation of a new sliding gate and pedestrian access gate for staff and visitors. 👍👍👍

If you are travelling and are on country roads please remember to take regular breaks and also avoid taking those risky decisions around heavy vehicles especially when overtaking. Be patient because remember: we want for you to be watching the tv news and not be a part of it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!

As we enter the Christmas holiday period, spare a thought for those of us that are still working. If you are travelling on country roads during the festive season please be patient around heavy vehicles, and avoid taking risky decisions.
