Newman Freight Services

Deposits of iron ore at Mount Whaleback built Newman — a purpose-built mining town roughly 1,200km north of Perth and four-and-a-half hours inland of Port Hedland. Commercial freight is dominated by mining-services consumables, workshop parts and camp-supply goods. QFM aligns pallet, crate and boxed loads into Newman from Perth via the Great Northern Highway.

Perth linehaul into Newman is multi-day, with the Great Northern Highway carrying the bulk of commercial supply. Mining-services contractors, workshop operators and townsite retailers form the core inbound receiver base. On-forwarding across the inland Pilbara — including to remote camps — is available on request.
