Central Otago - Summerland - container run

Summerland’s magnificent Western Star seen here at work with one of the companies Freighliner Coronados on container haulage from Cromwell to Queenstown.

Working under a Patchell sideloader, the trucks show how to deliver, and re-load with empty containers in just minutes.

The Western Star won ‘Truck of the Show’ at the Alexandra Blossom Festival when it had a million kilometres on it in 2018, and is one of the South Island’s most looked for trucks.
