Melbourne-based refrigerated transport business C&C Express will be “hanging the boots up”, announcing it will be closing its doors after 15 years in service.
Co-owners Craig Griffin and Cam Saddington made the decision to leave the transport industry “while we are still somewhat on top”, they said on Facebook.

C&C opened in 2009, expanding its fleet from one old ex Booth cabover (which they say they still had all the way to closure) to 13 prime movers and 19 trailers.
“I am sure the rumour mill has gone into overload already which was to be expected, but our drivers and those close to us know the real deal which is all that matters to us,” the Facebook post says.
“Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this journey including some great customers, some not so great customers, some awesome guys at Kenworth and Cummins (they know who they are) but most of all our team of awesome drivers.
“We would have nothing if not for the guys that drive these things everyday and give up so much.”
C&C has put all of their trucks and trailers up for sale as they wrap up the last of their deliveries.
