Gladstone Freight Services

Six hours up the Bruce Highway from Brisbane, Gladstone anchors Central Queensland's deep-water port, LNG export terminals and alumina refining. QFM powers pallet, port-precinct and project loads into the city from every Australian capital, with the Brisbane corridor as the primary inbound lane and Dawson Highway reach into the Central Queensland coalfields.

The industrial base — Curtis Island LNG trains, Boyne Island smelter, Queensland Alumina refinery — drives steady commercial supply: packaging, fabricated steel, safety consumables and engineering parts. Regional on-forwarding extends to Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Biloela, Moura and Emerald across the Central Queensland industrial footprint.
