The overnight run
What a night looks like.
By the time most people sit down to dinner, our night is just beginning. Everything between the market closing and the market opening happens while the city is asleep.
Via the Hume, the Newell, the Western and the Pacific
- 18:00
- Departs Ravenhall Loaded and away as the market closes, at set point before the doors shut.
- 04:30
- Arrives on the dock On the distribution centre dock before first light, temperature record with it.
- 06:00
- On the market floor Unloaded in time for the morning trade, the same day it was picked.

01 · Early evening
The network wakes
Across Griffith, Hillston, the Goulburn Valley, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane the packing lines wind down and the network wakes up. Rail boxes are unloaded and trains connected, freight terminals fall into step, and pallets still cool from the morning pick move straight onto trailers, each one already assigned to exactly where it needs to be. Fleet is planned and cleaned, drivers allocated, every run matched to what the night demands.
-
02 · Through the night
On the corridors
Then the long haul and the local work begin. Through the night our drivers run the corridors between states and the roads across town, while the allocation team tracks every truck and every trailer in real time, so a delay in one place is already covered by a plan in another.
-
03 · The small hours
Into the depots
As loads reach our depots they are met, broken down and rebuilt. Interstate trailers stripped, metro runs assembled, the cold chain never once broken.
-
04 · Before dawn
The network fans out
In the last hours before dawn our local fleet hits the Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and Costco windows and rolls into the produce markets just as the buyers arrive. By the time the city wakes, produce that was on a farm yesterday afternoon is on the shelf, and our trucks are already turning for home to do it all again.
From farm gate to shelf.
Overnight, every night.
