Freight and courier services in Darling Downs

West of the Range, our Darling Downs network reaches Oakey, Dalby, Warwick and Stanthorpe, extending to Chinchilla, Miles and Roma on the Western Downs and Maranoa legs. Freight consolidates in Brisbane general and runs out on the vehicle dedicated to each town.

Oakey and Dalby handle heavy agricultural machinery, tyres and bulk agricultural inputs — freight we move on tautliners, flat tops and tailgate-equipped rigids.

Warwick and Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt receive general retail, packaging and horticultural freight, with return loads of produce-related pallets back to Brisbane.

Farther west, Chinchilla, Miles and Roma are serviced on scheduled runs for mining, gas and rural supply customers who need reliable, tracked delivery windows.
