No More Delays! Top 5 Trucking Companies in Adelaide, Rated!

Collins Transport is a family business that was first established in 1965. With their long experience, the company can provide custom solutions to each customer.

They offer scheduled transport, storage warehousing, distribution, and product security, making them one of the best companies to assist businesses.

With their scheduled transport service, you don’t have to worry about calling them every time you need your stocks. They’ll deliver them to you based on the schedule you initially agreed to.

There are just some issues with the unloading process. They tend to take longer than expected, so it can be frustrating when you’re in a rush.

What we love most about the company is how serious they are when it comes to safety, whether it’s about the driver or the goods.

Since they mostly transport and store food, they have an HCCP certificate to ensure that the food they have is safe for distribution.

In addition, they have a thermally controlled warehouse to make sure that the customer’s stock is kept in the best possible environment.

Each driver also goes through comprehensive training to ensure that they’re ready for anything that will happen on the road. In fact, they’re TruckSafe-certified by the Australian Trucking Association.

However, some drivers still tailgate other people’s cars despite the training. This can be very dangerous, especially with how big the trucks they’re driving.

Established in 1875, Symons Clark Logistics is one of Australia’s longest-running trucking companies. 

While their experience is assuring, we feel even more relieved to know that they are certified by the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme, meaning they take the safety of the goods and drivers seriously.

In fact, they even have a Basic Fatigue Management certificate to make sure that drivers are in the best condition when driving.

However, despite these certificates, some drivers still tailgate other cars on the road, which can be dangerous for everyone and the goods.

The company offers a wide variety of services. They offer bulk haulage, container services like preparation and lining, warehousing, and equipment hire.

One of Symons Clark’s advantages over its competitors is its location. It’s located near major shipping and intermodal hubs in South Australia, allowing them to deliver goods much faster.

We also love that their warehouse is 77G-accredited, which allows them to store imported products and distribute them to households.

The only downside is how hectic their headquarters is, making it difficult to drive around their premises. They have quite a huge fleet of trucks, and there are always people in the area, making it quite crowded.

With over 300 vehicles, Aussiefast Transport Solutions is one of the top trucking companies to call when in need of transportation and distribution help.

The company has B-double trucks, road trains, rigid trucks, semi-trailers, utes, vans, and even bikes. Whatever it is that you need to transport, you can tap them.

What we love most about this company is how available their services are. Since they’re open 24 hours every day, we can call them up and ask for help even during an emergency.

This also makes it possible to get the goods wherever and whenever you need them. We don’t have to adjust our own schedule to match the company’s operating hours.

They even offer same-day service within the Adelaide metropolitan area, which is convenient for clients needing prompt and fast service.

We’re just a bit worried about safety. There have been a few reports of truck drivers from the company overtaking other people’s cars, which can be pretty dangerous.

We also think their customer service can be improved. Some staff members, especially those answering phone calls, don’t show the best attitude towards clients.

When it comes to customer service, no one does it better than SA Taxi Trucks. The company’s 60 years of experience is evident in its smooth interaction with customers.

The staff on the phone are always cheerful and friendly, so talking to them is easy and comfortable. We also love that they make sure they get every request right by repeating everything.

The great customer service also extends to the drivers. They’re always on time for the pick-up and quickly load the goods.

Even with short-notice bookings, they’re always on time. In fact, there are times when they are a bit early if they know you need their service fast.

The only complaint we have about them would be the instances when they don’t follow unloading instructions like putting certain furniture in a certain place.

We also found it quite a bummer that the drivers are usually only available from Mondays to Saturday mornings. This makes it hard for clients who need their goods shipped on a Sunday or a Saturday afternoon.

They can accept appointments after their usual hours, but this will incur extra costs and may not always be available.

On the bright side, though, the company has a very impressive fleet. They have trucks that can vary in size from 1 tonne to 14 tonnes.

They also have trucks that can carry up to 40 cubic metres of items. You may even request a refrigerated truck if your goods require temperature control.

Craig Arthur Transport has been providing trucking services for almost 39 years now. It’s one of the most trusted trucking companies in South Australia by business owners.

They’re the primary trucking company employed by Amcor, Northline, Frucor, Eltrak, Bunnings Warehouse, Renfrey, and more.

The company has a fleet of trucks composed of B-doubles, single trailers, drop decks, and tautliners, allowing them to provide transport services to a wide variety of businesses.

The trucks are also modern and well-maintained, ensuring customers that no delays or damage will be caused by faulty trucks.

Aside from their fleet, we also love how competitive their prices are. Their rates aren’t that different from other trucking companies in the state, even cheaper at times.

Another thing we love about them is they’re open 24 hours a day, making them one of the most accessible and available trucking companies in Australia.

The only thing we didn’t like is how inefficient they can be. Some of the customers we talked to expressed their frustration at how the drivers are sometimes late for pick-up, causing a delay in their schedule.

This also causes delays in delivery. There are times when they’re almost a day late, causing a lot of inconveniences.

There are also some issues with customer service. There are times when they’re hard to contact, making it even more frustrating for customers waiting for their stock.
