It is easy to take for granted just how interconnected the many industries around Australia are. The commercial landscape is reminiscent of a delicately balanced ecosystem where the slightest adjustment could cause massive ripples around the continent. One service that is often overlooked despite being integral in many facets of other more well known industries is the haulage sector. Hauling services power a lot more than you probably realise, and it is time it got a little more appreciation. Here are just three industries that could not exist without hauling services.
Construction
Think about just how much raw material is required for commercial and even residential building projects. All of the cement, bricks, timber, tiles, nails, struts, glass and so much more all need to be delivered on time and to the right place. Multiply this task by a thousandfold and you begin to see the scale of the role hauling services play for construction projects. That doesn't even include any of the machinery, tools or equipment used to correctly implement the raw materials. All of this is even more important for construction sites not located in the big cities along the coast that would be impossible to work otherwise.
Produce
Fresh produce has to travel hundreds of kilometres from its origin to get to fulfillment warehouses where it is then directed to individual retailers. In a country with such steaming-hot temperatures, the condition of the transport has to be very tightly monitored, and part of a hauling services task is also keeping the produce cool and edible once it arrives. Even as recently as 50 years ago the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables available year-round was far less than what it is today, and that is largely thanks to the haulage industry dramatically improving.
Waste Disposal
Perhaps the least attractive of all the industries, the removal of waste and excess material is still a very important service provided by the many haulage companies across the country. Most hauling services are happy to clear out old homes and construction sites and take the excess items to appropriate landfill and recycling plants. Many people end up using hauling services when they move house to dispose of their unwanted belongings and transport the stuff they intend to keep to their new location. At the end of a large building project there is often hundreds of kilograms of metal, brick, stone, timber and equipment that has no purpose. That stuff has to be donated or thrown out; either way hauling services is the number called to take care of it.

Hi, my name is Lisa, and I have travelled by sea, rail and road. That in itself isn't unusual, but my travelling companion is – my dog. I have learned through my experiences everything you need to know about transporting a dog (or another animal). Want to learn how to calm your dog on the road? Want to learn how to convince a ticket agent to sell your pup a pass? Want to learn other tricks regarding transporting dogs and pets? Then, you have come to the right place. I love to write, but I love to help people and animals even more so I hope you find these posts useful.
