09.05.2022 Check out our new Hardware! We are delighted to be recognised as Mighty Helpful, being awarded Mitre 10 Group’s Logistics Supplier of the year. Cochrane’s deliver daily to the 50 Mitre 10 and True Value Hardware stores across SA, and over the border to Mildura and Broken Hill. ... Mitre 10 is Australia’s largest independent home improvement and hardware wholesaler to the industry. Martin kindly let Peter hold the award first. #sagreat #familybusiness #ichoosesa #logistics #regionalfreight

05.05.2022 Today we wished Marilyn Cochrane a long and happy retirement as she steps down after 35 years with Cochrane’s Transport. Marilyn agreed to help out her brother Peter for two years back in 1986 - in the days when paypackets contained cash and important messages were sent via facsimile. Marilyn brought with her a sound knowledge of business administration and rigorous bookkeeping practices, along with a sharp wit and zero tolerance for timewasters! ... Under her (eagle-eyed) watch, Cochrane’s has grown to be one of SA’s top 100 companies, employing hundreds of South Australians and delivering freight across metro Adelaide and into every regional town every night. We will miss her humour and her wisdom and thank her for staying behind the desk for slightly longer than two years! Marilyn is irreplaceable and we hope she can find a gap in her busy schedule to drop in and check on us at Gillman from time to time. Congratulations Marilyn, and thank you.

16.01.2022 Surely there is a good witch somewhere in the Customer Service team... They are always in the spirit though !

15.01.2022 Thanks to all those who expressed interest in the driving positions we have available. Weve received a number of high quality applications and will work our way through them in the coming days. Therefore our post has been removed and weve stopped asking for interest at this point.

15.01.2022 Building for the Future - pleased to announce that we are developing a purpose built company site at Gillman. Well keep you updated on progress, but lets start with a photo of Peter Cochrane turning the first sod. He left it to the experts after that

14.01.2022 Thanks to Craig for sending through this great shot of one of our guys resting up near Olary on the way back from Broken Hill.

14.01.2022 While the fire that threatened Pt Lincoln last night is largely under control it has impacted linehaul into and out of the town. We appreciate your patience on delivery times this morning.

10.01.2022 Update on Yorke Peninsula deliveries - fires in the Southern Yorke Peninsula continue to present a dangerous situation. As a result there are no deliveries to Price, Edithburgh or Stansbury today. Our thoughts are with those impacted. Deliveries to the Iron Triangle and West Coast may also be slightly delayed as smoke caused temporary road closures north of Pt Wakefield

10.01.2022 The Variety "From the Heart" Awards on Friday night presented Cochranes with a "From the Corporate Heart" Award recognising 20 years as a gold sponsor of the Variety Bash. Peter was on hand to accept the award which acknowledged our annual commitment of people and vehicles to the logistics requirements of the event every year.

09.01.2022 One of the challenges of delivering in rural areas. Another low tree branch and another bent truck body. Can be an expensive business when you get a few of these each year.

09.01.2022 Our new B-double set fresh off the Vawdrey production line and doing a run from the MEL Mitre 10 DC to Adelaide. Thanks to Chris at Vawdrey for the outstanding effort on this one. They look so pretty when brand spanking new...
