A regional haulier with its own trailers
Kestrel Road Freight (sample) has moved pallets out of Springfield since 1994. Our planners, drivers and trailers are our own, so the person you call knows where your freight is.
One truck, then a yard
The business started with one rigid truck delivering for the tile merchants on Wharf Street (sample). Customers kept asking for the next town along, so we bought trailers and fixed the days we run.
Today the trailers leave Canal Yard every weeknight. Most customers send a few pallets a week; a few book a full trailer every Friday.

Every vehicle is serviced in our own workshop at Canal Yard and inspected every six weeks (sample).

How we work
Plain rules the planners and drivers follow every day.
Price before we move
You get a written price for the metres you book. No surprise fees on the invoice.
Call when it changes
If a delivery will be late, the planner calls you before the customer calls us.
Own trailers, own drivers
Your pallets stay on our vehicles from collection to delivery.
Drivers wanted for the night runs
Class 1 drivers for the Riverton and Lakeport runs, home every morning. Ask the transport manager.
