How our Newcastle and Hunter service works
Freight is picked up across Greater Sydney and consolidated at our depot at 568 Reservoir Road, Prospect. From there our refrigerated trailers run north on the Pacific Motorway to Newcastle and Hexham, then out to Kurri Kurri, Branxton and the Hunter Valley, and up to Raymond Terrace, Nelson Bay and Anna Bay in Port Stephens.
Because Newcastle sits on our regular northern run, you can send part loads without paying for a dedicated truck. Temperature set points are agreed with you before dispatch, and every trailer runs modern refrigeration equipment, so chilled product stays chilled and frozen product stays frozen from pick-up to delivery.
