With several depots across Southland, DT King Transport has extensive expertise and resource to meet any transport need.
From carting logs and mixing and spreading fertiliser on paddocks, to carting heavy machinery or taking stock to sale, DT King has the capability. The company also includes engineering and mechanical services to ensure your operations can continue year-round.

DT King Transport has a proud, family-owned history. 

Since being established by Dave King, the business has been passed through generations and continues to be serviced by the King family, ensuring this robust legacy endures.

Coal, flax and general goods formed the company’s main business in its infancy. But Dave King had bigger vision and having already established a general store, he installed petrol pumps and soon began carting livestock.
DT King’s first loads were delivered by horse and cart, and sometimes bullock and cart. Now, Nissan Diesel, Volvos and Mercedes make up the fleet.
