Sands Fridge Lines

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with one of the most professional, driven, and down-to-earth teams in the logistics and refrigerated freight space.

A typical day at work involved strategic planning sessions with management, reviewing campaign performance, and brainstorming innovative ways to highlight Sands' exceptional service offerings. 

What I learned was invaluable. I gained deep insights into the refrigerated transport industry, the operational complexities of cold chain logistics, and how to position a well-established brand for even greater market reach. 

Management at Sands Fridge Lines is nothing short of exceptional. The leadership is transparent, collaborative, and future-focused. They genuinely value input, treat their team with respect, and are always willing to explore new ideas — a dream for any marketing professional.

The workplace culture is one of hard work, mutual respect, and genuine friendships. There’s a family-business feel in the best possible way: people know your name, celebrate your wins, and support you when you need it. It’s a culture that promotes excellence without ego.

The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the direct impact of our work. Whether it was a new customer reaching out from a campaign or existing clients giving positive feedback, there’s nothing more rewarding than knowing the strategy you helped shape is driving real business outcomes.

Sands Fridge Lines is more than a logistics company — it’s a business built on integrity, excellence, and people who genuinely care. I’d highly recommend working with them any day of the week.

I was getting lessons to get my MC licence, while i was working at Coles in Northam , in 2010.  I met one of the guys from Sands, he said they were great to work for, that they were looking for a yard person , shunter.  I asked if they might put me on and do some further training to help me get my licence.  I rang them , went for an interview , I told them i had only had 2 driving lessons with a company in Malaga.  They put me on , gave me one day training and then i was on my own. The second day, a fully loaded pan/trailer fell off the back of the truck i was told to move.  I did all the checks I had been taught with the driving school and the yard person / shunter that was at Sands.  One of the managers came out, told me to go home??  I said I wanted to stay and learn, I apologised, and explained I didn't want to go home... I came back the next day and they had me doing other duties.  I was then given 3 days to practice hooking up , but not moving trucks.  I was not given the opportunity to learn any more or do anything else as  they put me in a van delivering chocolates & price line deliveries.   The situation worsened from there.  I never got my MC licence. I was treated rather badly, I didn't enjoy my time there one bit.  I would like to hope things have changed since then.

Typical day required balancing filing of paperwork doing reports & spreadsheets with answering the phones/emails, making bookings, dealing with complaints or missing stock and coordinating drivers.

I learnt to multi task and prioritize at a rapid rate.

Manager contact was mostly via phone and required me to problem solve unexpected issues as they arose.

Myself and co-workers organised routines that enabled all of us to work without management. It was a fantastic team effort.

The hardest part of the job was being the only person with the knowledge to maintain normal operations (made it hard to be sick or have holidays).

Excellent work place, I have been working with Sands for over 5 years. The management team works very hard and accommodates all employees where possible to have a balanced work life culture. Staff and management are supportive and great to work with. Management  have  reasonable expectations of jobs  / work being completed in due time . Its a great place to work at , friendly working environment. I  enjoy going to work every morning.

My exposure to this work envrionment taught me alot of things.  I learnt quite alot about logisitics and warehousing through some good managers and work colleagues.  Overall the company has a bad work culture which comes from the top of the triangle.  Unfortunately observed good Managers adopt bad behaviours.

with a boss on a 50 year power trip who is clearly psycotic i cant see how this company is still around. 
workers are continuously asked to run themselves into the ground just because people arent replaced when they escape the company, 
maintenance on equipment is non existant and then workers blamed and in times fired when things eventually go wrong.

i worked for these fellas for 3 years.

not the worst place to work but definitely not the best. as the hours are very long. your expected to work mad amounts of overtime no isn’t really an option 

management are shocking especially HR and their new (special ops) bloke. the employees are  the best thing about the place  

overall would i recommend you working for this company 

NOPE

typical day at work was long hrs, I learnt that its not always about money. management made it hard at times, with the disorganisation due to the stress of their work loads. the hardest part was the disorganisation. I did enjoy working for a company dedicated to fridge transport, but need a change

The amount of paperwork is insane. The front office are friendly but people in operations are not. The yard is mess. Their are traffic jams in the yard everyday. Very tight parking for trailers. Management have there minions constantly watching over the driver. This place is held up on subcontractor drivers not company drivers. 

Experienced several instances of poor management and a toxic work environment, verbal abuse

These issues not only affected my own morale but also led to high turnover rates, as many talented colleagues left the company due to the negative atmosphere
