Our core business is carting bulk agricultural commodities. We haul grain, fertilizer, gypsum and lime as well as cart livestock and pelletised feed for breeders and broilers throughout South Western Australia. We operate specialized equipment that has been designed to maximize efficiency and safety.
Our customers range from corporate entities such as George Weston Foods, CBH Group, Milne Agrigroup, AWB, Viterra, Westpork and Wheatbelt farmers to small rural business which we supply a range of services.
Our fleet is all company owned. This allows maximum flexibility in allocating vehicles to particular tasks. Having all company owned vehicles has given us the ability to standardize maintenance as well as allowing us to implement quality control systems to both staff and equipment.
By using company drivers we are able to better control the task. Our supervisors are regularly on site to monitor and report issues to our customers.

Fleet & Operation
As a commitment to our customers we are continuously improving and updating our fleet. The average age of our fleet is approximately 5 years. This increases reliability and reduces down time as parts for newer vehicles are more readily available and the vehicles are easier to work on. This high level of investment has also allowed us to quickly take advantage of new technology and improvements to both efficiency and safety.
Working at some remote sites, it's vital to have fuel efficient vehicles as fuel prices at these sites are up to 10 cents per litre higher than regional centres. This high fuel cost means that we must use the most efficient vehicles possible.
We have depots in Hope Valley and Nangeenan which both have fully equipped and stocked workshops capable of repairing all but the most serious of breakdowns. These workshops are staffed seven days per week and are always on call should a truck break down during the night. The huge range of spare parts means that breakdowns are quickly attended to and downtime is kept to a minimum.
As part of our maintenance system we also have an on road workshop. This vehicle is fully equipped and can be called out to the site to quickly fix breakdowns. The "Maintenance Truck" regularly visits work sites to perform inspections and preventative maintenance where equipment is not due to return to a depot. This further reduces down time as it alleviates the need bring the vehicle back to the workshop, just send the workshop to the vehicle!
All maintenance records are computerized. This helps the maintenance staff to quickly identify previous vehicle history, access vehicle identification numbers and cross reference part numbers and stock levels. The administration staff are in constant communication with maintenance staff to ensure vehicle availability is maximized.
Quality
In early 1998 Marley's Transport Pty Ltd embarked on a Quality System Project and as a result became Truck Safe Accredited. Not only did this accreditation stand us out from other carriers, it also increased our vehicle efficiency by allowing maintenance and operations staff more effective control over maintenance issues.
Marley's Transport are also WA Heavy Vehicle Accredited and accredited by the Cooperative Bulk handling Group as an approved supplier.
We have implemented a preventative maintenance program that has greatly helped reduced the number of unforeseen breakdowns, increasing the reliability of our fleet and making sure we have maximum resources available for work on a daily basis. As a standard, every piece of equipment is scheduled to come through the Workshop once per week. This enables greater detection of potential faults, higher levels of preventative maintenance, and to ensure the equipment is in the best working condition possible.
Upon employment, drivers must pass a Driving Skill Assessment, complete an induction and undergo role relevant training to ensure they are the right fit for the job. As part of our commitment to driver quality we utilize an online driver management system which allows us to keep accurate records of driver's licences, medical and training records and when they are due for renewal. This online system also allows us to perform driver assessments and aptitude testing in the areas of road rules, fatigue management and occupational health and safety as well as internal knowledge quizzes.
All of these accreditation schemes involve a high level of commitment from the operator and as a result Marley's have a dedicated Quality and Compliance Officer that overseas all of it's accreditations to ensure they are running at the required standards.
