Scheduled service
Our Brisbane to Biloela general freight service runs twice weekly, connecting Brisbane suppliers with the Banana Shire and the wider Callide Valley.
Biloela sits north of the Warrego corridor in Central Queensland, and is served by a dedicated twice weekly general freight run out of Brisbane rather than by the daily western service.
Because the service runs twice a week rather than daily, booking ahead matters more on this route. Freight that misses a departure waits for the next one, so it is worth calling early if you have a deadline.

Freight in this region is often tied to agriculture and the resources sector, where a late delivery stops work rather than just inconveniencing someone. If a consignment cannot wait for the scheduled run, our hot shot service can move it as a dedicated job.

A twice weekly service rewards planning. The businesses that get the most out of this run are the ones that order to the service rather than ordering and then hoping: they know which days freight leaves Brisbane, and they place orders so stock lands on the run rather than just after it.
If you are new to the route, the simplest approach is to work backwards. Decide when you need the goods on site, then count back the transit time and the cut-off, and place the order before that. We can walk you through it on 1300 192 737.
This part of Central Queensland runs on agriculture and resources, and the freight profile shows it: irrigation and machinery parts, station and workshop supplies, mine site consumables, and retail and hospitality stock for the towns themselves. It is freight where a missed delivery usually stops something rather than merely annoying someone.
Our Theodore depot supports this region, with a twice weekly service from Toowoomba to Theodore and areas north to Dululu. Depending on the destination, freight may be delivered from the Biloela run or routed through Theodore. Tell us the final address when you book and we will put it on whichever service gets there first.
Twice weekly does not suit everything. For breakdowns and stoppages we run hot shot freight as a dedicated movement, available 24/7 for urgent consignments. It costs more than the scheduled service, and it exists precisely for the days when that is the cheaper option overall.
Freight volumes into this region move with the seasons, and space on a twice weekly run fills faster at harvest and during shutdowns. If you know a busy period is coming, let us know in advance and we will plan capacity around it.

The service runs twice a week, so book early to make the next departure.
