Company Overview

Where it all began

It all started March 6th of 1978, with Bruce Plested, NZ$7,200 and a J1 Bedford truck. As a start-up, Mainfreight challenged themselves, and always took care of their own, and even now, many years later, that rebellion and people-first philosophy are still deeply ingrained in their DNA.

“Embedded deep in the company culture is a toughness to succeed every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year – no matter the difficulties”

- Bruce Plested

Where we are now

Today, Mainfreight has matured into a sophisticated international supply chain business, covering end to end logistics. With a fast-growing team of 11,000+, across 337 branches in 27 countries, they compete with some of the world's leading names in transport and logistics. In Australia alone, Mainfreight hold 74 of those branches with over 2,500 team members. Mainfreight got to being a $4.72 billion-plus international business by having a real hunger for success, sharing goals with everybody on the team and promoting from within.

Application Process

Mainfreight’s three -year program has a rolling intake, with the company constantly recruiting future leaders. Applicants need to have either completed their Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) or be in their final semester to start the application process. Graduates from all university disciplines are eligible to apply for the Development Program.

To apply, you’ll need to send a copy of your CV and cover letter. It is important that your cover letter highlights your qualities, achievements, and explains why you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and join the Mainfreight Family.

From there, the application process is straightforward. There’s no psychometric testing, instead, the stages consist of a phone interview, followed by a face-to-face interview at the branch itself so you can get to see if it’s the right fit for you as much as the right fit for Mainfreight. Reference checks and police checks will also be completed and taken into consideration.
