Titus Transport Limited

What Titus Transport Limited does

Titus Transport Limited is a privately held, family-owned New Zealand road transport and third-party logistics provider founded in 2014 by the Rolfe family of trucking brothers. The company operates six wholly owned depots across the North and South Island — Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Tauranga, Hastings, and Christchurch — supplemented by 11 agency collection points in regional locations, and runs a dedicated linehaul fleet enabling overnight intra-island and two-day inter-island delivery to main centres.

Its core offering is an integrated suite of four service lines: general and project freight transport (including FTL, Hiab, Flat Deck, and tail-lift capabilities), third-party logistics encompassing warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution, import handling and storage as a Ministry for Primary Industries Approved Transitional Facility (ATF), and dangerous goods transport compliant with the NZTA Land Transport Rule 2005. Food-grade transport and storage capability is supported by MPI NP1 accreditation. Supporting technology consists of an online booking portal and a real-time delivery tracking system, functioning as light digital infrastructure layered on a primarily relationship-led, phone-and-account-manager sales motion.

Titus generates revenue on a quote-based transaction-fee model for freight and dangerous goods services and on a managed-services basis for 3PL, warehousing, and ATF import handling. Customers span SMB, mid-market, and enterprise tiers across garden supplies, building materials and insulation, steel and industrial, and food and beverage verticals. The business is independently owned and operated with no external institutional capital or M&A activity disclosed.

Direct peers

• NZ Couriers: NZ Couriers is a major domestic parcel and freight carrier in New Zealand with branch networks across the country. It is comparable to Titus as a NZ-domestic road-freight provider serving similar SMB and mid-market customers.
• Mainfreight: Mainfreight is New Zealand's largest freight and logistics operator, offering domestic line-haul, 3PL warehousing, and international freight forwarding. It is directly comparable to Titus as a multi-service NZ-wide transport and 3PL provider, though at materially larger scale and with global reach.
• Fliway: Fliway is a New Zealand-focused freight, logistics, and 3PL provider with nationwide depot coverage. It competes with Titus for the same general-freight, line-haul, and warehousing customers in NZ.
• Cardinal Logistics: Cardinal Logistics (formerly PBT and now part of the wider NZ logistics landscape) provides nationwide freight and courier services in New Zealand. It is a direct peer on NZ road-freight capability, though with a heavier parcel focus than Titus's bulk/line-haul mix.
• Post Haste Couriers: Post Haste is a New Zealand nationwide courier and freight network. It directly competes with Titus for NZ domestic freight volumes and offers a comparable depot-and-agency distribution model.

Emerging players

• Big Chill Distribution: Big Chill Distribution is a New Zealand 3PL and temperature-controlled transport provider. It overlaps with Titus on storage and distribution and competes for food-grade and perishable customers that Titus serves under its MPI NP1 accreditation.
• Move My Logistics: Move My Logistics is a NZ-based freight, courier, and 3PL provider. As a mid-sized domestic competitor, it is comparable to Titus in target customers (SMB/mid-market NZ shippers) and service mix (line-haul plus metro).

Broad incumbents

• Toll Group: Toll (owned by Japan Post) operates domestic freight, warehousing, and supply-chain services across New Zealand and Australasia. It overlaps with Titus's line-haul and 3PL offerings as part of a much broader Asia-Pacific portfolio, making it a broad incumbent peer rather than a niche direct competitor.
