Having Aussies run the Australian arm of freight and logistics giant Mainfreight has helped it become the biggest earner—surpassing the Kiwi business this financial year.  In a candid chat with Mainfreight Managing Director Don Braid we also find out how it’s cracked getting established in India.     Back home a key concern is no decision about the upgrade of the Picton Ferries, and a lack of consultation with those at the coalface of rail networks.
