Mainfreight in the Community Mainfreight has been part of the “Duffy Books in Homes” programme since its inception in 1994 and currently we support over 70 schools in New Zealand, Australia and the USA.

For many of them it is their first adventure out of South Auckland. Our relationship with the school is very special, maintained and promoted by the school and their enthusiastic and passionate teacher fraternity. They have embraced Mainfreight and our ideals and culture, applying these where relevant in their day-to-day activities. We are proud to be associated with the school and enjoy seeing our small contribution helping to educate and grow Kiwi kids to a higher level of learning and In all of our New Zealand operations, including Owens, Daily Freight and Chemcouriers, each year we host the local IHC community for a morning of fun, food, trucks and trains.
