White trucks with purple and silver livery convey a clean and simple visual for Waipapa-based Carters BulkHaul.

Growing from a single truck in 2007 to 13 trucks working across Northland highways and beyond, Dan and Debbie Carter have remained loyal to Daimler product (Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz) since starting the company 19 years ago.

Prior to establishing Carters BulkHaul, Dan already had a few years of experience behind the wheel with local transport operators before going to work for Cyril Alexander.

“Cyril brought a Freightliner Argosy 6x4 which I drove for 18 months, then Debbie and I brought the truck off him – which became Truck 1,” says Dan.
