A Family Business


Secon Freight Logistics was founded by Maurie Considine in 1969 and quickly grew into a family business when his five sons Terry, Vin, Brendon, Paul and Matt joined. Over the decades Maurie and his sons have worked tirelessly maintaining and improving the business to ensure its growth and success. It isn't only a transport company; it is as much a way of life, a part of the Considine family that is a direct result of hard work, discipline, team work and friendship. The Considine family offers not just excellent service, but a personal relationship/partnership that is unique in an industry dominated by impersonal, uncongenial companies.
