Road Freight from Newcastle

What is road freight?

Road freight is the movement of goods by truck or van between a pick-up and a delivery address. It’s the usual choice for goods that are too large or heavy for a courier satchel: palletised stock, multiple cartons, trade supplies and bulky items.

Road freight can be a one-off job or a regular run, such as weekly stock transfers between a supplier, a warehouse and a store.

What we need for a road freight quote

• Pick-up and delivery addresses, including suburbs and postcodes
• The number of pallets or cartons
• The length, width, height and weight of each item
• Loading facilities at each end, such as a forklift, loading dock or ground-level access
• Your preferred pick-up date and any delivery deadline
• Whether the goods are fragile, high value or classed as dangerous goods

Preparing pallets and cartons

• Stack cartons squarely on the pallet, with nothing hanging over the edges.
• Shrink-wrap or strap the load so it can’t shift in transit.
• Label each pallet or carton with the delivery address and a contact name.
• Make sure there’s a safe way to load and unload heavy pallets at both ends.

Safety and Chain of Responsibility

When goods travel on a heavy vehicle in New South Wales, the Heavy Vehicle National Law applies. Under its Chain of Responsibility rules, everyone in the supply chain, including the business sending the goods, has a part to play in safe transport. Accurate weights and dimensions on your booking help us load safely and legally.

How it works

1. Request a quote. Send us the addresses, the number and size of items, their weights and your preferred dates.
2. Confirm the price. We confirm the price and the pick-up window before we collect.
3. We collect. We collect at the agreed time and check the consignment against your booking.
4. Delivered and confirmed. We deliver and confirm once the consignment is signed for.
