G F & R J Milthorpe

Welcome to Milthorpe Transport

G.F. & R.J. Milthorpe is a family owned business based in Corowa, NSW with depots in all capital cities and Townsville.

As qualified diesel mechanics and experienced engineers, Greg and Ray Milthorpe established Corowa Truck and Trailer Repairs in 1982. They continued to own and operate this business whilst establishing their own transport business in 1988 utilising extensive experience gained over many years in the transport industry. The transport business operated a single prime mover transporting general freight to North Queensland growing at a rate such that in 1992 Corowa Truck and Trailer Repairs was sold allowing G.F. & R.J. Milthorpe to expand and specialise in heavy haulage and general freight to anywhere in Australia.

Today, with a fleet of 30 vehicles (including 7 road trains, 7 B-Doubles , 7 sub-contractors and crane facilities), G.F. & R.J. Milthorpe operate regular services to all parts of Australia.
