The quality and reliability of our assets is what JLP is known for. For years JLP has been recognised within the industry as a leader in heavy vehicle fleet operations and has regularly hosted industry forums, technical training and education programs for suppliers, customers and regulators and continually contributed to improvements in vehicle design, specification and maintenance standards.
JLP’s fleet is tailored to handle the unique complexities, hazards and regulations of bulk liquid transport in Australia. From the benefits of commonality and standardisation of equipment right across the fleet, to the advanced safety features we specify, and the recurring investment and fleet replacement program we maintain, the quality and reliability of our fleet is what JLP is known for. Our fleet enables us to attract and retain the very best staff, both drivers and workshop personnel.
Through our over 75 years in transport operations, JLP has developed deep expertise in the mechanics of tanker truck fleet operations and maintenance practices. We have also, in partnership with key suppliers, developed a proven and bespoke design and specification for our vehicles that has stood the test of time. All of our vehicles are maintained to enacting standards via dedicated in-house workshop facilities or with specialist 3rd party providers.
Over 120 vehicle combinations including:
JLP has strategically located transport depots in Brisbane, Sydney and Newcastle in close proximity to petroleum loading facilities, in addition to remote based trucks & drivers in key regional hubs allowing us to extend our capability into remote areas.
Our depots are more than just truck parking areas, they all encompass modern offices, amenities and training rooms. Our depot facilities include truck washing stations, onsite refuelling and extensive in-house workshop facilities with a large parts inventory. Our maintenance team includes a diverse mix of trades and technicians qualified to perform scheduled maintenance, repairs and as well as the ability to perform various routine regulatory inspection work across both trucks and tanker trailers. In addition, we upskill our team to cover all facets of our equipment including the critical technology and telematics in our trucks which minimises our reliance on 3rd party technicians so we can keep our trucks moving.
“Suttons have been supplying John L Pierce (JLP) with their Kenworth Trucks and Maintenance Parts for over 40 years. JLP’s attention to detail in specifying their trucks, as well as their focus on fleet maintenance is second to none in the transport industry. JLP’s fleet quality, age and presentation makes them a clear leader in road transport. We are extremely proud to be a third-generation supplier to JLP.”
