Automotive Freight Services

The mix spans OEM parts into dealer networks, aftermarket consumables into workshops, crated engine and transmission assemblies between service centres, palletised body panels, and cubic-heavy tyre freight. Each profile rides on a different carrier path — parcel networks for small boxed cartons, pallet carriers for palletised parts, and bulky specialists for overlength exhausts, bumpers and bonnets.

A vehicle off the road (VOR) is an expensive delay for a service centre or panel shop. Back-order express moves the single part on the fastest available path — overnight road for east-coast lanes, air freightfor urgent Perth, Adelaide or regional runs. Tell us the part, the vehicle's location and the required delivery window and we book accordingly.

Some automotive items are regulated under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code — lithium and lead-acid batteries, flammable fluids, aerosols, airbag assemblies. These need correct classification, packaging and manifest paperwork before they're accepted by carriers. Send through the product details (UN number, class, packing group if known) and we'll confirm what's required before pickup.

Yes — recurring dealer replenishment is a standard use case. Nightly or weekly programs run to scheduled pickups out of the OEM's parts distribution centre, with semi or B-Double lanes for high-volume runs and LTL for smaller dealers. Interstate programs between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane dealers book against the Hume and Pacific corridors.

Scheduled programs run on standing lane plans — once set up, individual bookings need the previous day's cut-off at the OEM PDC. For new lanes or new dealers, allow 3–5 business days to set up the carrier allocation, cut-off pattern and receiver profile. Ad-hoc or back-order express moves can typically go same-day into the next overnight run.
