UHL 28 is a truck that has been a good asset to the fleet. The 2005 Kenworth K104 began duties on refrigerated work, but has spent most of its life in the LPG fleet towing a quad on bulk deliveries around the north Island in the hands of Glen (known as Rogee by most). Glen got the unit new and although he has had a few other trucks for periods in between, Glen has only really been at peace when he had UHL 28 as his daily ride -really his evening ride – as he works permanent afternoons.

As 2016 is upon us, Uhlenberg Haulage enters its 50th year in business.
It all began way back in 1966, when Mike and Carol Uhlenberg purchased a second hand Commer truck, complete with a Ministry of Works cartage contract, based at Bell Block, New Plymouth.
Within a few years the fleet had grown to three trucks, carrying metal and fertliser around rural Taranaki.
Logs was the next commodity that Mike and Carol geared up for - carrying export pine to Port Taranaki, as well as native timber to various mills in the area.

The Uhlenberg team unfortunately were forced to see 2015 out with the sad task of fare welling valued staff member - Bryan Pickering (Pix), who passed away suddenly at home on 26th December.
Pix was a popular member of the team at Uhlenbergs - his regular drive was UHL 31, the sole Mack Superliner in the fleet – the great all-rounder who floated among all of the different types of loads and jobs at UHL.
Pix was a perfectionist, and is remembered as the popular guy - who was a skilled operator - capable of operating every piece of equipment in the yard.
