TRANS STAR has spent 20+ years in logistics and now specialises in cold chain. Two trucks, a crew of four, chilled and frozen in the same load, anywhere in the Auckland region.
New customer? Your first delivery is free. One per business.
Cold freight has no room for a bad day. One delivery outside its range and the product's rejected, your customer's unhappy, and you're the one explaining. It's rarely the truck. It's a driver who doesn't know the site, a check nobody did, or a delay nobody mentioned.
Sound familiar?
Common worries in cold freight, written as anonymous thoughts.
A different driver every week, and every one of them learns your dock from scratch.
We're a crew of four. Whoever turns up has been to your site before, knows where to back in, and knows who signs.
Product goes out warm or a door's left open, and nobody can say where the temperature went.
We check the unit's set point and the product temperature at every pick-up and drop, and write them down. If you need proof, we send a photo of the reading.
You find out a delivery's late when your customer rings to complain.
If a run is going to miss its window, we tell you before it does, with a new ETA. You're never the last to know.
The paperwork turns up days later, if it turns up at all.
Signed dockets and temperature photos sent the same day.
Over a decade delivering dry goods for restaurant brands, then cold chain. Today we contract to a major NZ cold chain operator.

We're a small business. Giving away a delivery isn't cheap for us. We do it because once you've seen one run done properly, you won't want to go back.
Tell us what you ship, where it's going, how often, and whether it's chilled, frozen or both. We'll tell you straight if we're the right fit. Got an urgent load? Ask, and we'll see if it can be your first.
We do one real delivery at no charge, one per new business. You see how we load, check temperatures and keep you posted. If it needs a return trip or a second load, that part is billed.
If you're happy, we set up regular runs on rates agreed up front. We just need at least 48 hours' notice before each one. Prices excl. GST.
You don't pay until here.

TRANS STAR is Emilian's business. It started out delivering dry goods for restaurant brands, did that for over a decade, and now specialises in cold chain. Emilian still drives most days, so the person you ring is often the person at your dock.
