Our truckies keep food and goods on the move There are four primary ways goods are transported in New Zealand: by road, rail, air or water Each method is met with its own set of challenges; the one thing that is universal to them all is that they all must employ staff!
The country’s population has been steadily increasing, leading to a higher demand for goods and services that require truck transportation Urbanisation has also contributed to the need for trucks, as more people move to cities and rely on trucks for the delivery of goods. This also includes an increase in vans due to the change in people’s shopping habits
Whether it is food, animals, or products, our truckles play an important part when it comes to getting goods moved around the country They drive some big rigs, which some of us would run a mile if we had to reverse them, and for them, it is not just a matter of sitting behind a wheel They must be skilled drivers, learn the art of backing a second trailer, employ safe handling skills and be physically fit A big ask for anyone From courier companies and owner/drivers to large fleet operators and the companies that work alongside the freight transport industry, their representation is wideranging
