Our History
A Legacy of Excellence in Transport Since 1965
Emerald Carrying Company was established in 1965 in Emerald Queensland by Bill and Joan Haylock and remains today a family owned and operated Business. Managing Director, Greg Haylock and the Emerald Carrying team have extensive experience in Bulk Liquids Transport and General Freight.
Through the development of long-term strategic partnerships, Emerald carrying Co has expanded throughout Queensland, with depots in Townsville, Mackay, Gracemere, Emerald, Geebung and Lytton now servicing Mining, Commercial retail and agricultural customers. These partnerships have also seen Emerald Carrying Co grown to now operate a fleet in the order of 100 trucks from body trucks to triple and quad road trains.

Health, Safety, Environment and Quality
Safety has always been paramount at Emerald Carrying Company. We provide all staff with appropriate health, safety and environmental policies, guidance material, documentation, procedures and training to ensure that our business meets its health, safety & environmental obligations and our target of ‘NIL HARM’.
All drivers are fully qualified and receive ongoing training, and each truck in our fleet is equipped with several safety systems to track driver fatigue. In addition, every driver holds relevant licences and permits for the loads they carry, including Dangerous Goods for Diesel, Petrol and Avgas.
To ensure our prime movers are reliable and safe, we follow strict maintenance routines. All our prime movers are fitted with ABS braking and are regularly serviced and tested by our onsite team of specialist mechanics.
