Freight
Services.
Linehaul, metro distribution, dedicated contract work and specialised loads — moved the length of New Zealand on a modern, well-kept fleet.
Our backbone service. Scheduled overnight linehaul running between the main distribution hubs — point-to-point, on tight time windows, with consistent crew and gear.
Branded units and depot-to-depot visibility from pickup through to handover.
- Curtain-side
- Time-Definite Delivery
- truck-and-trailer
- GPS tracking on every unit
High-frequency metro distribution covering the Wellington region and surrounds. Multi-drop runs from depot to door, run by drivers who know the route inside out.
The right truck for the load — from 4-tonne curtainsiders through to heavy rigids — kept clean, branded and on time.
- Multi-drop runs
- Parcel & pallet handling
- Same-day metro service
- Branded units available
Long-term contracted work where the truck, the driver and the run are dedicated to one customer. Branded to your livery if needed, with performance reporting and a single point of accountability.
Yates Freight is a long-standing authorised carrier for NZ Post — a relationship built on consistent service across years, not seasons.
- Customer-branded units
- SLA & KPI reporting
- Vetted, named drivers
- Single account manager
When the freight doesn’t fit a standard run — time-critical, high-value, oversize or out-of-hours — we put the gear and the crew on it to get it where it needs to be, safely.
Talk to dispatch and we’ll scope the right rig, route and timing.
- Time-critical pickups
- High-value handling
- Out-of-hours runs
- Custom routing
The gear, the crew, the cover.
Everything we run is geared to one thing — keeping freight moving, reliably, the length of the country.
