Finding the right wharf cartage provider is key to maintaining the validity and stability of temperature in the cold chain. Many wharf cartage providers currently depend on either manual checks to monitor Refrigerated Containers, commonly referred to as reefers. However, these methods leave room for human error and can lead to significant financial losses. To address these challenges, we have invested in a solution known as the Reefer Runner. 

Australia's strict biosecurity measures, including the Safeguarding Arrangements Scheme, protect its unique environment from invasive pests. This program streamlines clearance for goods in six-sided containers from risk countries during the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) risk season, from 1 September to 30 April.

In the logistics industry, where the global movement of goods is constant, stringent biosecurity protocols are indispensable. Importers must provide essential documents and adhere to strict protocols. Navigating these procedures can be daunting, but Mainfreight offers invaluable assistance. With dedicated air and sea freight depots, temperature-controlled storage and fumigation services, Mainfreight ensures smooth transportation while meeting biosecurity requirements.

A great workplace stands out by prioritising its people. With Australian logistics workers spending 42 hours weekly on the job—30.35% more than the national average—supporting the team's wellbeing is essential. Inadequately trained or overworked team members risk compromising customer satisfaction, leading to damaged freight and financial losses. A truly exceptional workplace fosters continuous learning, provides growth opportunities, and prioritises the team's welfare.
