What are the different transport service types?

Our network provides freight delivery services to more than 1,600 towns/suburbs across SA, Broken Hill & Mildura, an area covering more than 1 million square kilometres.   

While most of these towns/suburbs have an express next day delivery service, there are some remote areas where a different service type suits the volume and frequency for their freight.   Generally, as the volume and frequency of freight to a location decreases, the delivery service frequency is reduced accordingly.  Each town/suburb has a transport service description that you see displayed when you use the 'OUR NETWORK – WHERE WE GO' function from the top menu.   


The range of transport service includes:

  • Express Next Day  - delivery tomorrow, a daily delivery service.
  • Express 2 Days - delivery in 2 days, typically a 3-4 days per week delivery service.
  • Express 3 Days - delivery in 3 days, typically a 1-2 days per week delivery service.
  • Express 5 Days - delivery in 5 days, typically a once a week delivery service.
  • Customer Collection Location - collection point usually less than 50 km of remote area locations.
  • Call To Arrange - for locations not on the normal network routes, nor close to collection locations, call us to arrange delivery.
  • Onforwarding Service - for locations further north than Roxby Downs, including NT, Broken Hill surrounds and Kangaroo Island we partner with Onforwarding Service providers to provide a delivery service.
  • Non Service Area - there are  a few locations and areas we just cant get to.  If you need to send freight into one of these areas, contact us to discuss your options.
