It's been a good day for Mainfreight, with the company's half-year profit going up by 66 percent on the same period last year. The transport operator posted an after-tax profit of $155 million in the six months to the end of September. CEO Don Braid says this is down to good performances across the board - but fuel prices remain a concern. "It's a pain in the butt, it's difficult, it's not easy, we've got to pass the fuel onto our customers, which makes the relationship with the customer more testy - but at the end of the day, it's part of what we do."
