Capital Transport is Australia’s largest privately owned courier and taxi truck business, running same day and on demand work out of the five mainland capitals. FreightExchange gives your team one screen to quote, book and track it, alongside every other carrier on your account.
Most Capital Transport consignments start life as an order that already exists in another system. FreightExchange connects to your ERP, CRM or online store and builds the consignment from that order, so the rate, the label and the manifest happen in one step instead of three.
There are two ways to ship Capital Transport through FreightExchange. Bring your own account, which needs a FreightExchange subscription and keeps the rates you have already negotiated with the carrier. Or book on our broker rates, which is worth doing when they beat what you are paying now. Booking, labels and tracking work the same either way.
Use Capital Transport when the delivery has to happen today inside a capital city, or when the item is too big or awkward for a parcel network. It is a same day courier and taxi truck operation rather than an overnight freight network.
Founded in 1990 and privately owned, it works from offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, covering metropolitan, regional and interstate work. The fleet runs from motorcycles and courier vans through to trays, taxi trucks, and crane and hydraulic tailgate vehicles.
The on demand fleet is sized by the job. A van takes cartons and loose items up to 25kg each and 125kg in total. A half tonne van takes a pallet up to 500kg. A one tonne van takes two pallets up to 1,000kg. Above that the work moves to trays and taxi trucks.
Two services matter beyond straight courier work. Home delivery moves big and bulky retail goods such as whitegoods, brown goods and furniture into a customer’s home. Permanent vehicle hire puts a dedicated vehicle on your account with booking, routing and despatch support behind it.
Capital Transport also runs a national warehousing and distribution network offering tailored 3PL and 4PL solutions.
Whether you bring your own Capital Transport account or book on our rates, your warehouse gets one place to book, one set of labels and manifests, and one record of what each consignment actually cost. See the full carrier panel.
