Brisbane to Sydney Freight — Express & General Freight Services
Quick Cargo moves palletised and commercial freight from Brisbane to Sydney with next-day Express as standard, or cost-effective general freight in up to 2 business days. It is a key east coast lane for Queensland manufacturers, wholesalers and importers, including Port of Brisbane freight moving south every day.
Express — A Dedicated Truck, Direct to Sydney
Express is a dedicated truck straight from your Brisbane pickup to your Sydney delivery, with no depot transfers. Next-day delivery is standard on this lane. Choose Express for time-sensitive, fragile or high-value freight, or when you need a specific vehicle on site.
Priority — Fast-Tracked Through the Linehaul
Priority fast-tracks pallets and smaller loads through the linehaul with booked time slots and $500 freight cover on every consignment. It is faster than General without the cost of a dedicated truck.
General Freight — Up to 2 Business Days
General freight moves your palletised goods through our shared network alongside other freight heading to Sydney. It is the most cost-effective option, with transit up to 2 business days from pickup.
Brisbane Pickup, Sydney Delivery
We pick up across Brisbane's southern industrial belt (Acacia Ridge, Rocklea, Wacol, Darra), the airport and eastern precinct (Eagle Farm, Pinkenba), the Port of Brisbane and the Yatala/Stapylton corridor. Delivery covers all of Sydney, including the western Sydney freight hubs (Eastern Creek, Wetherill Park, Prestons), Silverwater and Port Botany. The run is about 920km down the Pacific Highway and M1 — roughly a 10–11 hour drive — which is why a dedicated Express truck delivers next-day while shared general freight takes up to 2 business days.
Full Truckloads — Express FTL or General FTL
For a full load, choose Express FTL — a dedicated semi-trailer or B-double on your schedule — or General FTL, the same exclusive truck at a lower rate on our next planned Brisbane–Sydney run.
