Listen Later

Having Aussies run the Australian arm of freight and logistics giant Mainfreight has helped it become the biggest earner—surpassing the Kiwi business this financial year. 

In a candid chat with Mainfreight Managing Director Don Braid we also find out how it’s cracked getting established in India.
