Why Farmers Choose Whey
Central Transport Ltd (CTL) operates a dedicated fleet of 12 non-food grade tankers from our Reporoa base, just 11km from the Fonterra Reporoa dairy factory. Every day during the milk season (typically August to April), our tankers collect fresh whey directly from the factory and spread it onto local farms – turning a dairy processing by-product into a genuine, cost-effective source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and calcium for pasture growth.
Whey spreading is one of the most sustainable forms of nutrient application available to farmers. Because whey is applied in liquid form directly from the tanker, it reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser, lowers on-farm handling, and recycles a valuable by-product from the very factory your milk is processed at. Our whey fleet, dispatch team and drivers are trained under our own Standard Operating Procedures to apply product evenly, at the correct rate per hectare, and well clear of waterways, water troughs, neighbouring boundaries, schools and marae – keeping every load fully compliant with Resource Consent and Environment Waikato requirements.
Beyond whey, our non-food grade tankers are available for cartage and spreading of other liquid fertilisers, dirty water and dairy shed effluent, and can suck out and empty effluent ponds on request. All products carted are easily and evenly spread onto farmland using purpose-built spreading equipment.
Every non-food grade tanker in our fleet is fitted with proof of placement technology, giving you full GPS-verified traceability of exactly where, when and how much product was applied on your property – supporting your own nutrient budgeting, compliance records and Dairy Liquid Spreading Management Plan (DLSMP) obligations.

Trusted OCD milk cartage partner:
Central Transport Ltd (CTL) runs 9 food grade certified tankers, moving milk, cream, permeate, wine and drinking water safely across the central North Island. As the contracted milk cartage provider to Open Country Dairy (OCD) – New Zealand’s largest independent dairy processor and exporter, formerly Miraka – our tankers collect raw milk from farms 24/7 and deliver it to the OCD factory at Mokai, as well as their other processing sites around the North Island.
Every food grade tanker in our fleet is MPI approved and operated under our own Risk Management Programme (RMP), audited against HACCP and Good Operating Principles. That means every load of pasteurised product travels with a full Electronic Document for the transport of Animal Products (EDEC), every unit is fitted with EVS vent filters and tamper-evident discharge seals, and every tanker completes a verified Clean-in-Place (CIP) wash and factory swab test before loading – so you can trust the product arriving at your site is exactly what left the last one.
Our fleet includes modern, purpose-built truck and trailer units – including new Scania 660s on 5-axle trailers permitted to 58 tonne – giving you the capacity and reliability to keep your supply chain moving, whether that’s daily milk collection from farm, inter-factory cream and permeate transfers, or one-off wine and drinking water cartage.
All our Food Grade Tankers are fitted with the latest tracking technology, giving full traceability of any product carted through our part of your supply chain – from pickup, through every CIP wash and swab result, to final delivery.
