Sale Freight Services

East Gippsland's commercial seat, Sale services Bass Strait oil-and-gas operations, RAAF Base East Sale and a growing construction and retail base. QFM slots pallet, carton and trade loads into the city from every Australian capital via the Princes Freeway through the Latrobe Valley, with outbound pickups arranged on request.

Two and a half hours east of Melbourne, Sale sits beyond Traralgon on the Princes Freeway — a natural extension of the Gippsland freight corridor. Regional on-forwarding to Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance, Maffra, Heyfield, Rosedale and Longford covers the wider East Gippsland and Wellington Shire.
