Linehaul down the eastern seaboard

Scheduled interstate freight from Brisbane to New South Wales and Victoria, with the capacity and the transit times set out before you commit.

The eastern seaboard run

The Brisbane–Sydney–Melbourne corridor is the most heavily worked freight lane in the country, and it rewards operators who plan rather than react. We run scheduled departures rather than waiting for a trailer to fill, which is why our transit times hold up when the lane is busy.

Capacity is B-double and single-trailer depending on volume. For regular customers we allocate space on a standing basis so your freight is not competing for a spot each week.

These are planning figures, not guarantees. Your quote will carry the committed window for your specific lane, cut-off and delivery point.

Backloading

A truck returning empty earns nothing, which is why backload capacity is usually the cheapest freight on the network. If your timing is flexible by a day either way, ask us what is running in your direction — the saving is often significant.

Cut-offs matter more than speed

The single biggest cause of a missed interstate delivery is freight that arrives at the depot after the cut-off and waits a full day for the next departure. Know your cut-off, build your pick-and-pack around it, and the transit time takes care of itself.

Frequently asked
