Brisbane to Melbourne Freight — Express & General Freight Services
The longest of the east coast capital-to-capital routes, running daily. 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 Brisbane and Melbourne every day. For semi-trailers and B-doubles, choose from two full truckload tiers: Express FTL and General FTL.
Express — A Dedicated Truck, Direct to Melbourne
A truck dedicated to your freight, direct from Brisbane to Melbourne — no depot handling, no shared space, no extra stops. You stay in control and your freight gets the fastest possible transit, in as little as 2 business days.
Express is the right choice for time-sensitive deliveries, fragile or high-value goods, or when you need a specific vehicle like a HIAB or flat-top. For semi-trailers and B-doubles on this corridor, General FTL 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 Brisbane, 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 freight services for this route.
