General Freight FAQ
What are the Main Types of Road Freight?
General Cargo: Includes a wide range of goods transported in standard trucks or semi-trailers. This can be anything from household items to industrial equipment.
Refrigerated Freight: Transport of temperature-sensitive goods like food and pharmaceuticals in refrigerated trucks.
Oversized or Heavy Haulage: Transport of large, heavy, or oversized items that require special permits and equipment.
Containerised Freight: Uses intermodal containers to transport goods across long distances. This is efficient for large volumes and long-haul routes as well as self-pack moves.
Hazardous Materials: Freight that includes dangerous goods such as chemicals, explosives, and flammable items.
Livestock Transport: Shipping of animals, which requires special conditions for their welfare during transport.
Project Cargo: Involves the transportation of large, heavy, or complex equipment often for industrial or construction projects.

Transport You Can Trust
"What a fantastic company to deal with, right from my initial call to Katie who organised everything and was such a lovely person, to Ross the delivery driver who was so friendly and helpful he kept us informed every step of the way. Very pleased and furniture arrived earlier than anticipated. The cost was very good as well. I got two other quotes that were twice the price that it ended up being. Highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to move"

"You just don't get service like this anymore. Super friendly super professional, nothing was too much trouble. Katie went above and beyond to insure the transport of our freight from Rockhampton Qld to Perth WA was nothing but a pleasant experience. Also a big thank you to Chris for the same level of service here in Perth. We could not recommend Katie, Chris and crew highly enough. A big thank you to all involved."
