Toll was founded by Albert Toll in 1888 as a coal haulage business in Newcastle, Australia—hauling coal with horse and cart. At the time of Albert Toll's death in 1958 at the age of 95, he was operating a fleet of trucks in five locations.
In 1959 the Toll business was purchased by National Minerals. In 1962 it became part of mining conglomerate Peko Wallsend, which used Toll for all its transport activities. Under Peko Wallsend, Toll was developed into a national carrier. The company subsequently underwent a name change to Toll-Chadwick, and its new owners sought to integrate its businesses and expand into containerised shipping. By the mid-1980s, Toll-Chadwick had grown into one of Australia’s biggest transport operations outside the capital cities.
