Shona says family values permeate every aspect of the business. “Our values are very important to us. We’re a grassroots, family, local business. All our depots are in small rural towns because these towns are the lifeblood of this company. Our business is all about what we can do for our clients, staff and the communities in which we operate. We are proud to sponsor local rugby clubs, schools, dog trials and A & P shows – rural activities that bring the community together.” RTL offers a full range of services to the rural sector including livestock transport, fertiliser spreading, and bulk and general freight (which includes wool), bulk cartage and bulk supplies. Shona says RTL boasts an experienced livestock division backed by smart looking fleet. “Our drivers are experienced in working with animals and animal welfare is their top priority. It shows from the way they load stock, to the way they drive - maximising the animal’s comfort and welfare all the way. Our drivers take exceptional care of their rigs which means stock are in for a safe, clean ride to their destination.” She says RTL is always looking to innovate. For example, in response to the industry-wide issue of back rub on cattle, RTL is experimenting with modified crates to address this and ordering new trucks with a lower chassis to give stock more room. • to page 62
