message: Toll Global Express doesn't have enough sources to establish any independent notability, or even to demonstrate that it still exists. Suggest merging to the immediate parent for now, it can always be split off later if anyone ever writes any substantial independently-sourced content about it.

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Requesting updated content to replace removed copyright content. This content is to go directly under the opening paragraph, before History. The requested content is below - Operating divisions. Thanks, MeInMelbs (talk) 04:42, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , content in Wikipedia is based on independent reliable sources, and an edit request that doesn't cite any can't really be accepted; however, this does seem pretty uncontentious. A more interesting question is whether those operating divisions are notable independently of the parent company, or if those pages should be merged with this one. Thoughts?

Toll Global Express is the sister company https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?abn=31006604191 , which according to the ABR, the trading name "Toll Global Express" is under Toll Transport Pty. (which also has business name Toll Global Logistics), not under IPEC. Unfortunately it is primary source and ABR will purge the trading name info from the webpage from 1 November 2023 Matthew hk (talk) 12:45, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Can we please request a revision - updating the History section to be less convoluted.
Starting at 'In 1888,.." and ending  at the sentence "In 2012, Toll acquired a one-third shareholding in Bowmans Rail". Can this be replaced with:
------------------
Albert Toll established Toll in Newcastle, Australia, in 1888. The business began by moving coal with horse and cart, and by the time of Albert's death at 95 in 1958, Toll was running a range of fleet trucks from five different locations. (Reference: 2.)
National Minerals purchased the business in 1959. (References: 3,4) It then became a part of mining conglomerate Peko Wallsend a decade later. Peko Wallsend utilised the Toll transport business for all its transporting needs, making Toll a popular domestic carrier across the country.(Reference: 5.)
The business changed name to Toll-Chadwick when its new owners wanted to blend their businesses and start using containerised shipping. By the mid-1980s, Toll-Chadwick had evolved into one of Australia’s most significant transport companies, operating beyond the nation’s capital cities.(References: 6,7)
Toll was purchased by its management team in 1986 by Toll’s first Chairman, Peter Rowsthorn and Toll’s Managing Director at the time, Paul Little. The duo developed the business through acquiring modest, strategically located transport companies. (Reference: 4.)
Public Company
In 1993, Toll listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.(Reference: 5.)
After its listing on the ASX, Toll progressively built its reach and service capabilities via a program of strategic acquisitions. In the process, Toll expanded its operations in logistics and freight forwarding across the Asia-Pacific region. (References: 8,9,10)
Toll’s acquisition of SembCorp Logistics (SembLog) in 2006 significantly increased Toll’s market presence and reach across South East Asia, Greater China and the Indian Sub-Continent. (Reference: 9)  In this period, Toll acquired ST Logistics, a standalone subsidiary business in Singapore, which supports the Singapore Government with logistics in healthcare, defence, and homeland security. (Reference: 11)
In 2008 Toll acquired BALtrans Logistics.(Reference 6) In 2009 Toll acquired Express Logistics Group, one of New Zealand's largest freight forwarding companies. In the same year Toll acquired Logistic Distribution Systems (LDS), a Dubai-based international freight forwarding company. (Reference: 9)
In 2010 Toll acquired United States freight forwarder Summit Logistics.(Reference 7) In 2010 they acquired WT SeaAir and Genesis Forwarding. (Reference: 9). The acquisitions added significant scale to the Toll Global Forwarding division in Europe.
In 2011 Toll acquired SAT Albatros (SAT), a Dubai-based provider of sea-air services.(Reference: 9).
By 2014, Toll had 40,000 team members across 1,200 locations in more than 50 countries, and annual revenue of A$6.5 billion. (Reference: 7).
