Country Courier Services operate a Transport and Logistics business based in Townsville. While our original business started as a transport business we have developed a strong warehouse and logistics section and other diversified interests.
Our business currently engages over thirty employees, 15 contractors and a number of agents in western areas.
The company this year will have total revenues in excess of $4,500,000 and the majority of this revenue is from major corporate accounts. Some of these accounts are listed for your review:
- DHL Supply Chain
- BHP Yabulu Refinery
- Stanley Australia
- Chrisco Hampers warehousing and distribution
- Townsville Hospital
- Allied Express
- Philmac
- BHP Cannington
- Tamex Transport
- Osborne Mines
- Oz Minerals
- Carroll Springs
- Symbion Health
- Hunter Express
The main business principal has been to work with our clients to tailor a service that meets their requirement and not have the client try and fit a model that suits only our business. Our best results have come from true partnership arrangements where both parties are working to supply the best possible service at the lowest cost per unit.
As an example, our association with DHL Logistics started as a holding of 80 pallets in a small section of our current premises and has now expanded into purpose built solution, a pallet holding in excess of 760 pallets and supply of their transport requirements in Country Queensland. This gives and overnight by road service ex Townsville as far south as Rockhampton, west to Mt Isa and north to Cairns. This relationship was built over 48 months and is based on a true partnership arrangement.
As the owner of the business my experience has been at a corporate end of the transport industry working for Mayne Nickless and Toll Priority at a National level. The key part of dealing with a medium sized private company is that we can change direction to accommodate our partner's needs and we can grow with our customer in a true partnership.
Our management team ensures that all sections of our business are well maintained and operated in a manner which enhances our service to the customers. This team has a large experience base and is cross trained in all facets of our business to ensure we have no service gaps.

Country Courier Services have the resources and commitment to work with you in developing a business model that can benefit both parties. Our ambition is to provide a full logistics and transport solution for the customer that will allow you the time to grow your business with the confidence that all products will be delivered on time. It will also give your company the advantage of being "local" with out all the fixed costs associated. We will provide you with a complete package including warehousing pick pack dispatch and transport to your end user.
Country Courier Services would also offer you the benefits of "staffing up" during your peak periods to ensure every order is dispatched on the day it is received. To manage this we would utilize staff from our other sections to assist. We have on site a systems manager who ensures strict compliance to training and procedural matters.
