I dont see NQX (North Queensland Express) in our lists, I beleive the ran the same colours and were part of the Fleet Express group.


/me

Sarge, NQX was part of Carpentaria Transport, who also owned QRX and Rainbow Furniture Removals and a couple of others I think. Werkhorse can tell you the exact ratio, but it was half owned by TNT.
NQX colours were Blue and White and QRX colours were the same as TNT.
Here is one of my old trucks towing an NQX trailer.

Fluid Freight (Mayne Nicks tanker div.)
