Mainfreight
Mainfreight Limited is a New Zealand logistics and transport company. It began its operations in Auckland in 1978. Founded by Bruce Plested who started the company with just NZD$7000.00 and a 1969 Bedford Truck. He was later joined by Neil Graham. When the company was founded it entered a highly regulated transport market. A licence from New Zealand Railways Corporation was needed to carry freight over 150 km. When deregulation of land transport occurred in 1982, Mainfreight quickly took advantage of the opportunities presented and won a large share of the freight market.
