Cochrane’s are very proud to support 2024 Variety 4WD Adventure with a truck to carry supplies for this wonderful event. Here are some shots from somewhere in the Northern Flinders Ranges last week. There were some frosty mornings and dusty, challenging tracks over the 1,500km journey. A special highlight was handing over a specially fitted out bus to the Orroroo Area School. This year an incredible $654,000 (net) was raised to help South Australian children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability. Well done to Variety South Australia on another fantastic event. Thank you Keryn Stevens for the lovely photographs.

We are proud of our inclusive and empowering environment where everyone can thrive. Today, on International Women’s Day, we recognise all the amazing women across our business and celebrate their achievements. #IWD2024 #inspireinclusion

Farewell & Thankyou Phil!   On Friday we said a bittersweet farewell to our much-loved Port Pirie Depot Manager – Phil Noble.   Phil’s been an integral member of the Cochrane’s Regional Leadership team since first representing our business and serving our customers as an agent.   In 2021 when we opened the Pirie Depot Phil joined the team with the same passion, commitment, and community dedication he has become so well known for.   We wish you well in retirement Phil and look forward to seeing you around Pirie with that trademark smile and positive attitude that you are so well known for. #transportjobs #driventodeliver #buysaforsa

For the past 18 months Cochrane's have been proudly delivering goods across South Australia for Good360 Australia: a not-for-profit that matches donated brand-new surplus goods to Australians in need. By providing free freight delivery to their school and charity members, we are helping Good360 to achieve their mission of getting the excess good that are produced every year to people in need - rather than going to waste and landfill. So far we have delivered over $1M worth of goods to South Australians in need. We look forward to continuing our partnering and doing more great things for SA people and our Planet.

We have always been proud and passionate supporters of Variety. This Christmas we are delighted to donate to such a worthy cause so close to our hearts here at Cochrane's. On behalf of our entire team we wish everyone a safe and restful festive season. #driventodeliver #buysaforsa #varietysa

Our Fleurieu Depot Turns 1 🎉 It’s been a year since we opened our depot at 12 Lincoln Park Drive, Hindmarsh Valley. Our terrific team led by Mark Anderton have been working hard to provide better than ever express freight services to the local community. In the early hours each morning, Cochrane’s semi-trailers bring freight from our Gillman HQ to the Victor depot. The local fleet then delivers to homes and businesses that same day. They also collect parcels, pallets and other goods for South Australian delivery or on-forwarding. Cochrane’s are well and truly part of the community and are proud sponsors of the Victor Harbor Football Club. Staff celebrated with a well-earned breakfast BBQ. Congratulations and well done on all the hard work team! #southaustralia #victorharbor #fleurieu #encounterbay, #hayborough #portelliot #goolwa #capejervis #buysaforsa #freight #trucking
