Direct Couriers is a same day courier and taxi truck operator working out of branches in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Auckland. Point to point metropolitan delivery is the core of it, with interstate, international, refrigerated and pallet linehaul services built around that. FreightExchange gives your team one screen to quote, book and track it, alongside every other carrier on your account.
Urgent jobs are the ones most likely to get booked by hand, and hand booking is where the errors are. FreightExchange takes the order that already exists in your ERP, CRM or online store and builds the consignment from it, so the rate, the label and the manifest come out of one step. The same connection covers your other carriers, so nothing gets keyed twice. See the plugins and integrations we support.
There are two ways to ship Direct Couriers 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 Direct Couriers when something has to cross a capital city today rather than overnight. Same day courier and taxi truck work is the core of the business, sold as Regular, Express and Elite, from a direct drive between two points through to four hours for a courier job and six for a taxi truck.
Those services run in the metropolitan areas of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland, and the operation is staffed around the clock for after hours and weekend work. Interstate and international options sit alongside them. Service detail is on the Direct Couriers services page.
Direct Cold runs temperature controlled transport around the clock with live temperature logging, on vehicles from a refrigerated one tonne van up to a 22 pallet truck. It holds HACCP, is GDP compliant and is a member of Medicines Australia, which is what makes it usable for medical and pharmaceutical freight.
Direct Road runs overnight palletised linehaul between Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Direct Home covers ecommerce delivery, including twilight, weekend and two person deliveries with tail lifts. Direct Exclusive handles dedicated fleet and set runs. Storage and container unpacks are available Australia wide, with bonded storage in Brisbane and Melbourne only.
Bring your own Direct Couriers account or book on ours, and your team gets one place to book, one set of labels and manifests, and one record of what each urgent job actually cost. See the wider carrier panel.
