Interstate Services

Melbourne to Sydney freight

Line-haul for construction materials, tracked end to end.

Two cities, one operator

We operate in both Melbourne and Sydney, which is what makes the interstate run straightforward: the same company loads it at one end and delivers it at the other. There's no handover to a partner carrier in the middle, and no gap where nobody can tell you where your freight actually is.

The work is construction materials — structural steel, formwork and falsework, scaffold, plant and fabricated assemblies moving between fabricators, yards and sites. Line-haul between Melbourne and Sydney, plus regional runs along the way where the job needs it.

Tracked the whole way

Every truck carries live GPS, so a long run doesn't mean losing sight of the load. You get a real ETA rather than a guess, and delivery comes back with proof-of-delivery photos and supervisor sign-off, the same as a local drop.

Because it's the same operation at both ends, a delivery into a Sydney site is planned the way a Melbourne one is: access, delivery window, induction requirements and who's receiving it. If the load is oversize or needs permits, that's handled as part of the planning rather than discovered on the day.

Long loads carried on the trailer that suits them — extendable where the length calls for it, Melbourne or Sydney.

Booking an interstate run

Tell us what's moving, where it's collecting from and where it has to land, and when it's needed at the other end. We'll come back with a price and the vehicle. We've run construction freight and nothing else since 2021, from our Braeside depot in Melbourne's south-east, with a fully maintained fleet — scheduled servicing and inspections — and project experience including North East Link and the West Gate Tunnel.

Fleet & capacity

Line-haul between Melbourne and Sydney runs on flat top semis. The figures below are our fleet's typical capability; what a particular run can take depends on the load, how it restrains and any permits it needs, so send the detail and we'll confirm. Loads beyond these limits move as a permitted oversize movement.

Flat top semis12.5 m or 13.7 m trailers depending on configuration.
PayloadApprox 20–24 tonnes.
Extendable trailersFor long loads that exceed a standard flat top.

Common questions

Do you hand interstate freight to another carrier?

No. We run our own trucks in Melbourne and Sydney, so the same company loads your freight and delivers it.

What trucks run Melbourne to Sydney?

Flat top semis, on 12.5 m or 13.7 m trailers carrying approx 20 to 24 tonnes, with extendable trailers for longer loads.

Can you move an oversize load interstate?

Permits are checked per load. Most of our oversize work starts in Melbourne, and it can run to Sydney too. Ask before you plan around one.

How much does Melbourne to Sydney freight cost?

Every job is quoted on the load, distance and time on site. Send the details and we'll come back with a price.
