Sydney to Melbourne Freight — Express & General Freight Services

One of the busiest freight corridors in Australia. Whether you need a dedicated truck on your schedule, a dedicated truck on ours at a lower rate, or cost-effective shipping through our shared freight network, we move freight between Sydney and Melbourne daily. For semi-trailers and B-doubles, choose from three tiers: Express, Dedicated General, or General.

Express — Next Day Delivery

Priority pickup in Sydney, fast-tracked linehaul, and express delivery in Melbourne. Your freight is prioritised at every stage for the fastest possible transit. Next-day delivery as standard.

Express is the right choice for time-sensitive deliveries, fragile or high-value goods, full truckloads on your schedule, or when you need a specific vehicle like a HIAB or flat-top. For semi-trailers and B-doubles on this corridor, Dedicated General offers the same exclusive truck at a lower rate by running on our schedule.

Priority — Fast-Tracked Through the Linehaul

For pallets and smaller loads on this corridor, Priority fast-tracks your freight through the linehaul. An express truck picks up your freight in Sydney, it's prioritised through the linehaul to Melbourne, and another express truck delivers at the other end. Faster than General, without the cost of a dedicated truck.

Priority includes booked time slots for time-sensitive freight and $500 freight cover on every consignment at no extra cost.

General Freight — Up to 2 Business Days

Your freight moves through the national linehaul network alongside other shipments. It's the more cost-effective option when your delivery isn't urgent. Transit time is up to 2 business days from pickup.

General is the right choice for palletised goods, regular shipments, bulk stock replenishment, or anything where saving on freight cost matters more than speed.

Vehicle Types Available

HIAB crane trucks, moffett forklifts, tail lift trucks, flat-tops, tautliners, pantechs, semis, and B-doubles. All vehicle types are available on both Express and General services for this route.
