Key Capabilities

Temperature-Controlled Freight

Kelly’s & Young specialises in transporting both refrigerated and general freight, serving industries reliant on temperature-controlled logistics. Their HACCP-accredited refrigerated fleet maintains the integrity of perishables during transit, from farm-fresh produce through to city markets. Refrigerated trailers come in various sizes and can be configured for B-double combinations and road trains.

Versatile Fleet Options

The Pickering Transport Group maintains a diverse fleet of Scania, Kenworth, and other models, with over 300 trailers available. These include flat-tops, tautliners, vans, liquid carriers, and custom-built refrigerated trailers, each configurable for standalone use, B-double combinations, or high-capacity road trains for routes heading north.

Regional Distribution Network

With warehousing and distribution facilities across key centres in Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia, Kelly’s & Young offers comprehensive regional freight distribution. Their established network along the Murray River corridor and into capital cities provides reliable supply chain coverage for regional producers and businesses.

Kelly’s & Young Trucking Co is well-suited for:

• Fresh produce growers and food manufacturers requiring HACCP-accredited temperature-controlled transport from regional areas to capital city markets
• Wineries and dairy producers needing bulk liquid haulage with specialised tanker equipment
