The first items of our new gear on the road this week

A new van for Steve Lawrence and a new 10T hoist for the Auckland team
Hoping to see our second new hoist before Christmas followed by a brand-new truck early in the new year to run alongside the later model trucks that have moved up from the linehaul team for Joe & Shayna

We are very pleased to have our new trucks ready to hook onto trailers and start work on Sunday
These two R620’s will be used to service Nelson and Tasman stores 7 days a week, driven by Zane Reid & Alana Tully
They join another R620, an R650 and a G540 making up our full time units at TSI Logistics, with some older equipment assisting when needed
Thanks to all that have been involved

It’s not very often we can get everything together, but in the last 7 days we’ve managed to get most of it in two pics
Still missing 3 trucks, 6 forklifts and about half the trailers…..
Our business services two very different parts of the transport industry, but both divisions rely equally as much on each other and the skill base brought together to get the job done. We are very fortunate to have the trust from our loyal clients and it’s great to see our staff interact well with them
Thanks to all involved and we look forward to continuing the relationships we have for the long term

Hi all. It’s costs $2500 to send ONE child on the yearly summer camp. We as a committee are walking 2500km. My distance is 118km, currently sitting at 79km. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

2500km for kids living with cancer!
