The fleet primarily includes Freightliner, Mercedes-Benz, Western Star, and Kenworth trucks, paired with trailer combinations such as bulk tippers, tankers, cane bin transporters, and high-volume side tippers.

Be part of a high-volume, fast-paced operation where no two days are the same.
Enjoy a competitive salary package, including a work vehicle and phone.
Join a respected company known for its reliability, safety, and service excellence.
Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Logistics Career?
Join a dynamic and fast-paced transport operation that values professionalism, safety, and operational excellence. Our client takes pride in delivering high-quality service and supporting their team every step of the way.
