CaroTrans – Greg Howard<br />
Thanks to the tireless efforts and unbridled<br />
passion of our US team, we are pleased to<br />
have posted the best result ever in our 27-year<br />
history.<br />
Sales revenue for the year was the highest ever<br />
at nearly US$85 million and profit before tax<br />
increased by 50% to US$5 million. This strong<br />
finish to last year carried momentum forward to<br />
this year with a solid start to yet another record<br />
year ahead of us.<br />
CaroTrans is a much different company than<br />
we were when we first joined the <strong>Mainfreight</strong><br />
Group. We’re bigger, a whole lot better, full<br />
of more pride and passion than ever and<br />
determined to take on the challenges which lie<br />
ahead.<br />
Miami Branch<br />
<strong>The</strong> hard work and efforts of our Miami team<br />
paid dividends this year and underscores the<br />
“anything possible” attitude, by posting a $37K<br />
profit for the year. This is a turnaround of more<br />
than $361K and their first profitable year since<br />
CaroTrans joined the <strong>Mainfreight</strong> Group!<br />
facility of nearly 200,000 square feet. <strong>The</strong><br />
improved warehouse operation provides us with<br />
expanded capacity and capabilities and will<br />
help create new opportunities for us in Miami<br />
and the southeastern region of the US.<br />
New Jersey Branch<br />
We recently moved to a new and improved<br />
warehouse / CFS operation in New Jersey.<br />
After spending years packed into a World War II<br />
circa shed on the Jersey waterfront (like a scene<br />
from the Soprano’s), we’ve moved operations to<br />
a 250,000 square foot showplace.<br />
Although it doesn’t hold a candle to the “Super<br />
Site” in Otahuhu, this places us in a much<br />
bigger and better facility and will help facilitate<br />
sustained growth for CaroTrans’ future…<br />

Hats off to Kika and the team – your persistence<br />
and dedication have been very worthwhile.<br />
To further strengthen our Miami operation,<br />
we will soon relocate to a newer warehouse<br />
Agents Corner<br />
Our continued success is also attributed to<br />
the efforts of our global partners situated in<br />
key markets around the world. Professional<br />
representation of CaroTrans in their local<br />
markets extends our global reach and solidifies<br />
our market position outside the USA.<br />
To assist our global partners’ efforts, we<br />
developed several web-based applications<br />
through the “Agents Corner” on our website.
