Total West was a transport company in Western Australia established on 1 July 1982 as a joint venture between Mayne Nickless and Westrail, each owning 50%. It was formed to transport mail and less than wagon load traffic.[1][2]
Mayne Nickless sold its stake to Wesfarmers, who subsequently purchased Westrail's share in 1996.[3][4] It was included in the 2001 sale of Wesfarmers road transport interests to Toll Holdings.[5]
