Established in 1935, Richers Transport is a proudly Queensland-based, family-owned and operated freight & logistics company. With nine decades of operation, the business has grown from humble beginnings into one of the state’s major provincial carriers.
Based out of Maryborough with depots in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Gympie, and Brisbane, Richers Transport runs a fleet of over 300 trailers — many of them Freighter.
“We’ve been using Freighter trailers for over 40 years,” says Tom Richers, Operations Manager at Richers Transport. “We run a lot of B-double and semi-trailer combinations — 48 footers, 45 footers — plus a few drop decks for our local brick deliveries. They’ve proven themselves a reliable, strong, and efficient product.”
For Richers Transport, tare weight and reliability are key performance drivers.
“Freighter trailers don’t fail. They don’t break. We don’t fix them. They’re strong, but they’re light — and that’s important in our game.”
Working closely with local Freighter Group Dealer, Trailer Sales Queensland, the partnership has delivered an exceptional experience according to Richers Transport.
“Our customer experience has been second to none. We really appreciate the relationship — we work together to make sure it’s working for both sides.”
The company values Freighter Group’s continuous focus on quality and innovation.
“For the strength of the product, the tare weight is impressive. The two-piece roof rail and overall versatility suit our operations perfectly. The latest BPW suspension we’ve had fitted is also top of the range.”
Above all, Tom says it’s the people behind the product that set Freighter apart.
“They’re good to work with. I truly believe they want to help us find the right solution and sell good trailers.”
“I can’t fault the quality or reliability of the Freighter product — I don’t think you can find a better trailer on the market.”
