History
Toll was founded in 1888 by Albert Toll in Newcastle, hauling coal with horse and cart. It became part of the Peko Wallsend Group in the 1960s when it transported goods associated with diversified mining and manufacturing activities.
In 1986 Toll was sold to a management buyout team led by current Managing Director Paul Little and Toll's first Chairman Peter Rowsthorn, and in 1993 Toll listed on the ASX.
