One truck. One load.

When you've got enough freight to fill a truck, FTL is the most efficient way to move it. Your load goes straight from pickup to delivery — no depot stops, no shared space, no extra handling.

Full Truckload Freight Australia — Semi-Trailer & B-Double Shipping

When you've got enough freight to fill a truck, a full truckload (FTL) is the most efficient way to move it. One truck, one load, one destination — no sharing space, no depot stops, no extra handling. We operate across the east coast — Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane — and Australia-wide, with two ways to ship: Express FTL and General FTL.

Express FTL

Your freight, your schedule. We dispatch the first available truck to meet your requested pickup and delivery time. Your freight stays on the truck from pickup to delivery with zero depot handling. Ideal when timing matters and you need your load moving now.

General FTL

Your freight, our schedule. A dedicated truck is still assigned to your load — but it departs on our next planned run for that route, which means lower rates. Ideal when you've got a full load ready but a couple of days of flexibility on timing.

Vehicle Options

Semi-trailers carry up to 22-38 pallets depending on the trailer configuration, and B-doubles up to 36-56 pallets. We offer a range of trailers to suit your load — tautliners (straight deck, drop deck, or mezzanine) and flat-tops. If it fits on a truck and doesn't need permits, we can move it.

Coverage

Full truckload shipping runs from our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane hubs to anywhere in Australia and back — Perth, Adelaide and everywhere in between — offering both Express and General FTL service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Express FTL and General FTL? Both are a whole truck dedicated to your freight with zero depot handling. Express FTL runs on your schedule — we send a driver to meet your timing, even if there's no return load booked, which is why it costs more. General FTL runs on our schedule at a lower rate — we plan the run so the truck has a return load, keeping costs down for you.

How many pallets fit on a full truckload? A semi-trailer can carry up to 22 standard pallets on a straight deck trailer, while a B-double can carry up to 34 standard pallets. Freight on straight deck trailers can be loaded up to 2.6 metres high.

For mezzanine trailers, a semi-trailer can carry up to 38 pallets, while a mezzanine B-double can carry up to 56 pallets. Freight on mezzanine trailers must be under 1.4 metres high to allow for double stacking.

How fast can my freight move? Express FTL is your fastest option — we dispatch the first available truck to meet your timing. General FTL runs on our schedule, with pickup usually within 1-3 days followed by direct delivery. Either way, the whole truck is dedicated to your freight.
