Rockhampton Freight Services

Where the Bruce Highway meets the Capricorn Highway, Rockhampton serves as Central Queensland's primary freight interchange for construction, industrial and commercial loads. QFM channels pallet, carton and trade consignments into Parkhurst, North Rockhampton and the CBD from all Australian capitals, with outbound collections arranged on request.

The city's position on the Tropic of Capricorn places it between Brisbane and the northern Queensland resource towns, making it a natural break-of-bulk point. Outbound loads rejoin the Bruce Highway south to Brisbane for interstate linehaul, while regional on-forwarding to Yeppoon, Emerald, Gladstone, Biloela, Mount Morgan and Blackwater covers the Capricorn Coast and Central Highlands.
