Kris Slater Cartage - Trucking & Transport

"When you need it, we deliver."

At Kris Slater Cartage we are family owned and operated trucking and transport company.

We take great pride in our roots and our journey, which began in 2005 with just one bulk Truck & Trailer tipper unit.

Back then, Kris drove the truck as we embarked on our entrepreneurial venture. As our vision expanded, we acquired our very first brand new truck, a Kenworth K104B named ‘HMADWN.’

Since those early days, we have experienced remarkable growth and diversified into various areas of transport. Presently, our fleet consists of nine vehicles, making us a bustling operation with a personal touch.

As a husband and wife duo, Kris oversees the crucial aspects of transport management, dispatch, and maintenance, while Penelope efficiently handles office management, health and safety, and human resources.

In addition to our core cartage services, we have recently ventured into excavation with the acquisition of a PC130 Komatsu Digger in 2022. Our commitment to modernity, efficiency, and reliability is reflected in our fleet, which boasts the latest advancements in driver safety technology. Ensuring the well-being of our staff and the public is our top priority.

To further enhance our operations, we have implemented the Eroad system. This comprehensive solution enables us to efficiently schedule maintenance and servicing for all our units, ensuring optimal performance. Additionally, our GPS Eroad tracking system facilitates road safety through speed monitoring, while keeping our valued clients informed about the whereabouts of their deliveries and providing accurate travel times for billing purposes.

Safety remains a core principle throughout our operations, and all our units are fully equipped with essential safety gear, including fire extinguishers and first aid kits. We believe in maintaining a hands-on approach with our clients. When you choose us, you will have direct contact with Kris, who will work closely with our friendly drivers to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of your order.
