We often get asked how far we actually go.

This is Arnie. Last weekend. In Kerikeri.

That's the top of the other island.

So, reasonably far πŸ’ͺ

If you're a business with a truckload of something that needs to get to the other end of the country, we're your guys.

Give us a yell!!

T24 joined the Westie fleet this week.

T24 is giving Transformer Robots-In-Disguise vibes, so I've taken it upon myself to name her Dolly, after the late great Dolly Parton.

Hard worker, funny as, extremely good looking, never big-noted herself. And there's already a dolly in every yard in the country, so it was always going to fit.

Rest easy Dolly. This one will do the name proud.

They say the milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.

Not in this case. It's Dolly the Kenworth 🩷

Last week of winter & August is meant to be our quiet month.

Someone forgot to tell the trucks.

Jordie's on the Hoki out of Picton.
Sarah, Shane, Hobbit & Clayton are on containers.
Dan's on logs.
Lyell & Arnie are somewhere around the country linehauling.
Jase is moving everything else.
Mechanic Harry is in the workshop getting his hands dirty.

And there's a new truck sitting in the yard waiting on its signage.

Empty yard, full week. We'll take it πŸ’™

P.S Who got up to watch the AB's vs SA Lion's game this morning at stupid o'clock & wanted to throw hands with Sky Sport for stuffing up the whole first half viewing?

WE'RE HIRING: Class 4 Driver, Nelson based!!!

Have you ever thought to yourself, man it would be a good time working with those cool cats at Westhaul Motueka?

Well today is your lucky day!

What we're are looking for:
- Class 4 license
- F endorsement, or keen to get one
- DG endorsement would be an advantage
- Clean license & happy to do a pre-employment drug test
- Some warehousing or 3PL experience would be a real bonus
- Must bring good vibes

As we're a small family owned transport business out of Motueka (with big boy energy), you'll know everyone's name by the end of week one.

If that sounds like you, flick us an email [email protected] or message the page & we'll come back to you.

Know someone who'd fit the Westie crew? Send this their way.

Caroline is leaving us for five weeks. Off to the UK.

She's leaving in our winter & landing in their summer, which she assures me was not planned. I don't believe her.

So if you ring the office over the next while & get Karl or myself instead, that's why. Bear with us. She has a system & we are not across it (That's untrue. We are across it. Like an itchy rash).

Safe travels sweet Caroline, enjoy your break back in Coronation Street land. We'll keep your chair warm πŸ’™

Settle something for us.

Frozen windscreen at 5am. What's your ACTUAL method?

1. Scraper, done properly
2. Scraper, done badly, one small peep hole to see through
3. Arms folded, waiting on the demister
4. Warm water & a prayer

One of our boys swears by number four. He is wrong.

Go on then.

Please note: not an actual real life image of a Westhaul frosted truck windscreen, because I don't start work at 5am (no thank you Good Sir)

Six months of our driver Jordie Kiriona yesterday. Feels like about six weeks.

He tells me he's loving it, which is either true or very good manners.

Either way he's stuck with us now. Good on ya mate πŸ’™

Here's some questions:

Best part of the job?
Seeing our beautiful country and meeting new awesome customers

Worst part?
The smell of hoki on my clothes

Something you didn't expect?
Getting a trip to the very top of the North Island

Midweek morale officer, reporting for duty.

He lives on my desk, & he's the only one in the building with his eyes fully open this morning.

He certainly didn't get up at 5am for the AB's game like some of us did.

Two days to Friday! Trucks are out, phones are on, coffee is life today, we're getting there Team πŸ’ͺ

Our fleet manager is in Rarotonga for two weeks.

We are waiting for him to send through a photo of his hobbit feet in the ocean.

We will then send him this photo of the river of tears we have cried in the yard because we wish it was us.

In happier news, no windscreens required defrosting this morning which means only one thing, we have broken the back of winter, and spring is just around the corner.

Happy Monday!!! ✌️

πŸš› Meet the Team – Episode 7: The One Who Knows Where All the Trucks Are πŸ‘€

Meet Mike Warman, our Fleet Manager and the guy who always seems to know where every truck is... even before the drivers do!

Mike joined the Westhaul Motueka team in January, bringing with him a wealth of experience in the transport industry. Having worked both behind the wheel and in dispatch, he knows exactly what it takes to keep freight moving and customers happy.

Around the office, Mike is affectionately known as "Dad". If there's a truck on the road, chances are Mike knows where it is, where it's heading, and when it'll arrive.

When he's not keeping the fleet running like clockwork and watching EROAD like a Boss, you'll find him:
❀️ Spending time with his partner, Tarns
🐱 Breeding beautiful Ragdoll cats
🐢 Hanging out with his British Bulldog, Barney
πŸ”¨ Renovating his house (there's always another project!)
πŸ‰ Cheering on the Wahs every chance he gets β€” Up the Wahs!
🍽️ Sucking on a protein yoghurt like a man baby

Behind the humour is a gentleman who's calm under pressure, incredibly knowledgeable, and a huge asset to the Westhaul team. We're lucky to have him keeping an eye on everything that moves.
