What Is Road Freight Delivery?

Road Freight Delivery is the transportation of goods, such as pallets, bulk cargo, and parcels, by trucks and other heavy vehicles over road networks. This type of delivery is commonly used for domestic shipping across cities, states, and regions.

If you are looking for interstate deliveries in Australia or have shorter distance shipments, then road freight service could be an efficient and affordable choice.

Comprehensive Road Freight Solutions

We know that businesses differ according to their requirements. DTDC Australia understands this and thus customises multiple road freight services to support businesses with different shipment sizes and delivery requirements.

Less Than Truckload (LTL) & Pallet Transport

For businesses that ship regularly but the load isn’t huge enough to use an entire truck, Less Than Truckload (LTL) would be an efficient choice. With LTL, multiple shipments can be consolidated into one truck, reducing costs for interstate pallet shipping and pallet delivery.

Full Truckload (FTL)

Larger shipments require more space, and so, with Full Truckload (FTL) service, one can get an entire dedicated truck for the cargo. This type of service is a perfect option for high-volume commercial freight that requires direct transport with minimal handling.

Commercial & Amazon Clearance

If you are importing goods in bulk, DTDC Australia is the helping hand you need for shipment and their domestic distribution. We are experts in customs clearance with a success ratio higher than any. Our dedicated logistics team can assist with your commercial import clearance and direct delivery of products to Amazon FBA warehouses.

Dedicated Interstate Road Freight: Perth, Brisbane & Beyond

The road freight network covered by DTDC Australia has access to some major commercial routes. Because of this vast network, we ensure efficient interstate transport for businesses nationwide.

Brisbane to Nationwide

Many of the Brisbane businesses rely on interstate deliveries to ship goods across the country. DTDC support such businesses and shippers for sending freight from Queensland to major markets, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and even the West Coast.

With our widely spread network, local businesses can streamline their supply chains while maintaining a consistent delivery schedule across Australia.

Perth & The West Coast

When shipping to and from Perth, it is necessary to choose a long-haul interstate logistics provider to manage the vast distances. DTDC is experienced in such scenarios and manages these routes efficiently through optimised carrier networks and consolidated freight services.

Now, businesses do not need to manage the complexities of multiple carriers and move freight smoothly between Western Australia and Eastern States.

The DTDC Advantage: Flexible Carrier Options

While searching for road freight services in Australia, many businesses look for a single carrier, such as StarTrack, particularly for interstate deliveries or Perth road freight. However, with DTDC Australia, you get a significant advantage- choice and flexibility.

You no longer need to rely on single carriers for your deliveries because DTDC lets you choose from a network of Australia’s leading domestic freight carriers. Whether you prefer DTDC, TNT Express, Hunter Express, StarTrack, etc, you can select the fastest, most reliable and economical route your shipment needs and deserves.

Example Domestic & International Freight Rates

In Australia, one has to consider both actual weight and volumetric (cubic) weight to calculate the road freight shipping costs.

Freight pricing of your packages is influenced by the following factors:

The dimensions and weight of packages, pallets, cartons, etc.
The total distance between the origin location and the destination.
The type of service you choose (economy vs express)
When special equipment is required, such as a hydraulic tail lift, if delivery locations do not have forklifts.
The delivery location accessibility, including residential areas, commercial zones, remote areas, etc.

All these factors help businesses to calculate the most accurate shipping charges and choose a suitable freight option.
