Our depots

Wards Transport Charleville

Charleville is the western end of our South West Queensland line haul. Our depot on Kurrajong Street receives freight from Brisbane and Toowoomba and gets it out to customers across the Murweh district.

Charleville Depot

Distance is the thing that makes western freight hard. Running our own depot at Charleville means your consignment is handled by Wards people at both ends of the trip rather than being handed to a third party at Roma and hoped for.

Getting freight this far west

Charleville is roughly 750 kilometres from Brisbane, and that distance changes how freight has to be planned. A missed connection here does not mean a few hours lost, it can mean waiting for the next service. That is why we run the Warrego corridor on our own equipment and our own people rather than interlining freight to another carrier partway.

Freight for Charleville is consolidated in Brisbane or Toowoomba, travels west through Dalby, Chinchilla and Roma, and is unloaded and sorted at our Kurrajong Street depot. Because the same company handles every leg, there is one number to call if something needs chasing, and one team accountable for the answer.

Equipment available on the western run

Not all western freight fits on a flat deck. Across the fleet we operate drop deck and extendable trailers for long or tall loads, ramp trailers for machinery that has to be driven on, and refrigerated units for chilled and frozen consignments. Every vehicle carries GPS tracking.
