Cyclone Freight, established in 2005, is an independently owned freight and courier business providing integrated end to end supply chain solutions daily from Tully to Cairns and everywhere in between. The business offers comprehensive logistics services, specializing in transporting a diverse range of cargo including fresh produce and critical chain services.
The business operates with a carefully structured approach: one partner serves as a full-time truck driver, staff manager, and freight coordinator, while the other manages administrative functions such as customer communications, invoicing, and delivery logistics. Supporting their operations is a small team of employees, including a full-time truck driver and two casual delivery van drivers. This collaborative model ensures efficient and personalized service for their clients. Compelling Reasons to Acquire Cyclone Freight 1.
