Our Express Transport Network handles a wide range of freight

Our transport network is designed for customers that require a next day express service and moves a wide range of products, including:

  • Automotive and engineering parts
  • Tyres for cars, trucks and farm vehicles
  • Office products
  • Print media
  • Hardware and Retail goods
  • Electronics, white goods and brown goods
  • Health Services and Pharmacy supplies
  • Industrial and cleaning products
  • Packaged food products and beverages
  • Some classes of Dangerous Goods (in below threshold quantities with required documentation)  
  • Long length freight up to 6 metres

Our trucks and trailers are generally suited to carrying cartons, parcels, skids, pallets and oversized pallets. We use mezzanine deck linehaul trailers to help maximise loads while minimising the risk of damage during transport.  

Our delivery vehicles are a combination of light, medium and heavy Rigids trucks to accommodate a wide range of freight profiles and delivery location, but we also operate a fleet of Semi-Trailer and B-Double trucks for larger delivery requirements.

Freight needs to be packed and labelled ready for transport to ensure it can be moved safely, accurately and reliably.
