RON FINEMORE TRANSPORT ON THE SKILLS TREASURE HUNT.
Finemore Holdings was bought out by Toll in 2001, but Finemore had no intention of retiring, so when Wodonga’s Lewington’s Transport went into receivership, Finemore bought back into the game, launching Ron Finemore Transport in 2004.
With 280-plus prime movers, 700 plus employees and depots in Wodonga, Orange, Wagga Wagga and Goulburn, and a presence in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, the business is strategically positioned to service regional communities, specialising in transporting ambient and refrigerated food, and liquid fuel.
"The simple thing in business is you’ve got to be safe, you’ve got to be reliable, you’ve got to be cost-effective and you’ve got to have good people," Finemore said.
It’s those four core values that guide everything RFT does.
The thinking all comes back to safety. On top of the dash is a Seeing Machine – forward and driver-facing cameras that record the road ahead and the driver’s eyes, giving the driver an audio and seat vibration alert if it senses fatigue – part of RFT’s Driver Safety System (DSS).
Every truck in the fleet is fitted with DSS, which is integrated into the telematics and monitored remotely from the fleet control room in Wodonga.
While RFT constantly seeks out the best new technology, it’s not a case of blindly adapting something simply because it’s shiny and new. It must prove its worth.
