Pet Freight Services

Dry pet food pallets run 600–900 kg; wet food can exceed 1,000 kg per pallet. Pricing lands weight-first rather than cubic. QFM handles pet industry freight as retail distribution — pet food (the volume driver), accessories, grooming products, toys and specialist pet-retail stock moving from manufacturers and distributors into chain stores, independents and ecommerce fulfilment centres.

Chain retail runs scheduled replenishment programs from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane DCs into store networks; independents and ecommerce draw from distributor DCs with mixed pallet and carton volumes — tied to broader retail freight peak-season patterns. Regional pet stores receive via capital-city linehaul plus regional agent. Pet freight rides standard pallet and carton networks — no live animal transport, strictly retail product.
