Tom Price Freight Services

Outlays on the original Mount Tom Price iron-ore operation built the highest townsite in WA — a central-Pilbara purpose-built community roughly 1,600km north of Perth and 400km inland of Karratha. Mining-services contractors, workshops and townsite retailers define the freight profile. QFM aligns pallet, crate and boxed loads into Tom Price from Perth via the Great Northern Highway and Karijini Drive.

Linehaul is multi-day whether routed through coastal Port Hedland and inland on Karijini Drive, or directly up the Great Northern Highway. Paraburdoo, 80km south, is a regular on-forwarding destination. Mining-services consumables and camp-supply loads dominate the inbound mix.
