Fred’s Interstate Transport was founded in 1978 by Fred Borg, beginning operations with owner-drivers handling client shipments before purchasing the company’s first vehicle, a Kenworth K125. Over more than 40 years, the business has grown into a respected interstate freight provider serving leading Australian brands including Visy, Nu-Pure Beverages, Bristile Roofing, Bega, and Mars.

Fred’s runs a fleet of 50-65 Kenworth and Western Star B-Double vehicles equipped with specialised load restraint-compliant Sentinel trailer equipment, and is NHVR accredited for both Mass Management and Fleet Maintenance with Higher Mass Limits capability in Victoria and South Australia.
