Melbourne to Perth Freight
Melbourne to Perth, via the Adelaide changeover.
Melbourne to Perth road freight collected across metro Melbourne, consolidated through our own Adelaide depot, and linehauled west to our Perth depot at Welshpool.
Melbourne to Perth is about 3,400 km by road — the shortest of our long East-West runs, but still a full Nullarbor crossing. Freight is collected across metropolitan Melbourne, moves up to the Adelaide changeover, and heads west from there. We run road trains into Melbourne, so there is real, planned capacity on the lane in both directions.
The Adelaide changeover is where this lane is won or lost. We own the Wingfield depot at that exact point, so Melbourne freight transfers straight onto the West-bound run instead of waiting in a third party's yard. One operator holds the timing from our Tottenham depot through to Welshpool.
Weekly scheduled departures, B-doubles and road trains matched to the load, and last-mile delivery into Perth metro and regional WA on our own rigid fleet. Well suited to manufacturing, industrial and palletised retail-distribution freight.

Detail
Why this lane runs better with us
The shortest of the long hauls
At roughly 3,400 km, Melbourne to Perth is the quickest of the East-West capital runs — but it still crosses the Nullarbor, so it rewards an operator who runs the lane every week rather than occasionally.
A Victorian volume lane
Melbourne is a manufacturing and FMCG hub, so this lane carries steady palletised volume. Weekly departures and road-train capacity into Melbourne mean we scale with your dispatch rather than squeezing it into leftover space.
The changeover is ours to control
Freight consolidates at our Tottenham depot and transfers at our own Wingfield depot in Adelaide, so the changeover that costs other carriers dwell time is handled in house, start to finish.
