Our depots
Our Rocklea depot is where South West Queensland freight begins. Consignments picked up across Brisbane are consolidated here and loaded for Toowoomba, Roma, Charleville and the towns in between.
Rocklea is the origin point for our line haul. If you are a Brisbane supplier sending stock west, this is the depot your freight passes through, and the team here who will load it.

Brisbane is where most of our westbound freight is picked up and consolidated. We run a daily general freight service to Roma and a twice weekly service to Biloela, plus same day, general, express and full load work between Brisbane, Toowoomba and all areas west to Charleville.
From the Rocklea depot we handle:
We also operate a laydown yard in Brisbane for customers who need project freight staged before it heads west, and contactless metro pickups for day-to-day parcel and pallet work.
As well as line haul, the Rocklea depot runs local and metro deliveries around Brisbane on a daily and overnight basis. This is the fastest way to move parcels and pallets across town without them sitting in a network overnight.
[[CONFIRM: the Brisbane metro suburbs or zones covered by the daily run]]
Brisbane customers sending freight west are typically in retail, hospitality, trade, construction, manufacturing, agribusiness and the resources and mining supply chain.

Yes. Freight can be dropped at Shed 3, 44 Shettleston Street during office hours. [[CONFIRM: any drop-off cut-off earlier than 4:00 pm]]
Most consignments that end up in South West Queensland start their trip at Shed 3, Shettleston Street. Freight is collected across the Brisbane metro area during the day, brought back to Rocklea, checked and consolidated by destination, then loaded for the overnight run west.
Getting that consolidation right is the part customers never see and always feel. Freight loaded in the wrong order costs hours at the other end, so the depot is sorted by drop sequence rather than by whatever came through the door last. It is a small discipline that makes the difference between a consignment arriving on the day it was promised and arriving on the next service.
The Brisbane depot loads everything from single cartons through to oversize project freight. Across the fleet that means drop deck and extendable trailers for long loads, ramp trailers for machinery, refrigerated units for temperature-controlled freight, and standard curtain-side equipment for general pallets. GPS tracking is fitted across the fleet.
We operate a laydown yard in Brisbane alongside the depot. It is used by customers staging project equipment before it heads west, and by businesses that would rather hold stock closer to the line haul than pay metro storage rates. Pallet management, distribution and storage are all handled from here.
Book a pickup and we will collect it and load it on the next run.
