Stanthorpe Freight Services

Up on the Granite Belt near the NSW border, Stanthorpe tilts the New England Highway toward Queensland's coolest-climate wine region — cellar doors, boutique wineries and a tourism economy that draws weekend traffic out of Brisbane. QFM links pallet, wine-dispatch and hospitality loads into and out of the town via Warwick and the New England Highway, with outbound pickups on request.

The freight profile blends inbound hospitality and construction supply with outbound packaged wine dispatch to interstate distributors. Warwick is the standard linehaul break — about 55 km north on the New England Highway. Regional on-forwarding reaches Ballandean, Glen Aplin, Thulimbah, Applethorpe, The Summit and Wallangarra, with cross-border connections to northern NSW through Tenterfield.
