Our operations team designs routes that transport goods to their destination with predictable timing. As long-distance freight movers, we focus on compliance and professionalism, giving you confidence as you move goods across our country.

The Long Haul Transportation Company Eastern Australia Trusts

Our linehaul network connects Far North Queensland to the southern capitals with reliable, efficient long-run freight services. From Bundaberg to New South Wales and Victoria, we plan each route around real-world conditions such as traffic, available windows at depots and changing weather conditions, using trained drivers and well-maintained vehicles.

We support regular schedules and tailored movements across a wide range of industries. You can expect transparent updates and practical advice on timing and cost before the wheels roll.

Comprehensive Long Distance Transport Services

Our extensive fleet of over 450 assets including prime movers is equipped to handle B-Double loads efficiently. We use prime movers and trailers suited to your freight profile, consolidate where it makes sense, and schedule direct linehaul when a dedicated trailer is the better choice. The result is a smarter path that balances speed, cost and safety.

Dangerous Goods Freight Solutions

We accept packaged dangerous goods, subject to correct documentation, packaging and scheduling. We strive to provide safe and compliant long-distance transport for hazardous cargo that gets vital goods safely to their destination. Please declare Dangerous Goods (DG) at booking and provide the necessary paperwork in line with our Conditions of Cartage.

Reliable Long Haul Fleet

Our trucks and trailers are serviced to schedule and inspected before departure. Mechanical reliability reduces incidents and improves fuel consumption, helping us price competitively while guaranteeing secure transportation. The right vehicles set each run up for success for many different types of cargo.

Experienced, Effective Drivers

If a route requires special handling or staging at storage facilities, we confirm instructions in advance so every party knows what to expect. That clarity builds trust with customers and site teams.
