Freight Transport Across the Wide Bay–Burnett Region

Regional freight across Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Maryborough and Childers.

Freight and courier services in Wide Bay–Burnett

Our Wide Bay–Burnett service links Brisbane with Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Maryborough and Childers every business day. It is a hub-and-spoke operation: freight is consolidated at Archerfield, then loaded onto the specific vehicle running each Wide Bay town.

Bundaberg is the northern anchor of the run. We deliver into the Bundaberg East and Kensington industrial areas, the port precinct and rural properties across the Burnett — with tailgate-equipped vehicles for sites without forklifts.

Maryborough's engineering and manufacturing precinct receives regular palletised and oversize freight, delivered with tautliner and flat top vehicles as required.

Hervey Bay retail, hospitality and trade customers are serviced on the same general schedule, including tailgate deliveries into shopfronts without docks.

Childers, Gin Gin and the surrounding agricultural belt sit on the Bundaberg leg, so growers, food processors and rural suppliers get the same next-morning transit.
