Family owned, built on the road.
One truck and a Sydney backload in 2009. Today 14 tracked trucks and 38 staff run from our Rocklea depot.

The short version
From one truck to every capital
Wade Tennant spent eleven years driving linehaul for other people before he bought a tired Isuzu and started running backloads from Brisbane to Sydney. The first customers were friends of friends. The second year, they were friends of customers.
What made it work was simple: Wade answered his own phone, wrapped everything like it was his mother's, and told people the truth about when the truck would arrive. We still run the business that way, just with more trucks and a better phone system.
