Shepparton Freight Services

On the Goulburn River two hours north of Melbourne, Shepparton processes one of Australia's densest concentrations of food and beverage plants — SPC cannery, Campbell's and Pactum among them. QFM moves pallet, processing and packaging loads on the Goulburn Valley Highway between the region, Melbourne and Sydney, with the wider national network feeding through the Hume corridor.

Plant supply — cans, cartons, processing parts and palletised finished goods — dominates the commercial freight base, alongside retail, construction and trade replenishment for the wider Goulburn Valley. Regional on-forwarding reaches Echuca, Mooroopna, Tatura, Kyabram, Numurkah, Nagambie, Seymour and Cobram across the processing corridor.

Shepparton Freight Profile

  • Melbourne Inbound via Hume & GV Highway: Capital-city freight runs north from Melbourne on the Hume Freeway onto the Goulburn Valley Highway — two to two and a half hours, next-business-day standard.
  • Processing Plant Supply: Cans, cartons, packaging materials, processing-plant parts and palletised finished goods for SPC, Campbell's, Pactum and the wider food and beverage precinct.
  • Direct Sydney Hume Routing: Sydney-origin loads run direct via Albury-Wodonga on the Hume corridor rather than through Melbourne — faster transit for Sydney freight.
  • Goulburn Valley On-Forwarding: Ad hoc linehaul from Shepparton to Bendigo, Echuca, Mooroopna, Tatura, Kyabram, Numurkah and Cobram for trade and institutional replenishment.
