CEO Mark Rowsthorn says they are addressing performance issues through ramping up resources for bulk haulage, through the sale of non-core assets and through cooperation with regulators to address stoppages due to vehicle checks.
 
McAleese made a net loss of $37.9 million in the first half of the 2014 financial year.
