One of the biggest developments of the early 2000s was the formation of NDL Transport, a sister company to ZRT that covers haulage operations in the Burdekin region.โฃ
โฃ
One of NDL's first contracts was with ISIS Central Mill to haul road cane.โฃ
โฃ
Later, in 2007, NDL secured a contract with Sucrogen Australia to transfer bagasse from Kalamia, Inkerman and Invicta to Pioneer Mill.โฃ
โฃ
By 2012 ZRT had adopted a new configuration from the 19m b-double Smith side tippers to a truck and 6 axle dog trailer side-tipper (Mack Tridents were used as the prime mover), which resulted in a bigger transportable payload. โฃ
โฃ
The approval process to use this new configuration was a long and complex process, requiring 3 different permits to move the new side-tippers through the states from Melbourne to Mackay.โฃ
โฃ
As ZRT was the only company running this new configuration at the time, new contracts were signed, including a 5 year contract with Mackay Sugar. โฃ

As Zarb Road Transport approached a new millenium, their integral involvement in the Australian sugar industry continued to grow and develop. Long standing contracts had been fulfilled year after year and with a record of professionalism and punctuality, more contracts were to come!โฃ
โฃ
In 1998 ZRT started the movement and storing of surplus bagasse from Farleigh, Pleystowe and Marian Mills to the Racecourse Mill storage pad during the crushing season. When the crushing season ends, the surplus is reloaded for delivery to the Racecourse Mill boiler to operate the Sugar Refinery, keeping wastage to a minimum.โฃ
โฃ
The following year B-Double units hauling 42 tonne loads with side tipping facility were used to haul sugar cane from Nebo and the Blue Mountain areas to the ex-North Eton Mill site to be processed by Mackay Sugar.โฃ
โฃ
As ZRT crossed into the year 2000, Casey Zarb retired, passing control of the business to his son David.โฃ
โฃ
2001 saw a further diversification of products hauled to include liquid stock feed products from the Performance Feeds factory based at CSR Pioneer Mill to Charters Towers, and also to cattle properties in the surrounding area.โฃ
