Direct Freight Express moves parcels and bulk pallets by express road across all eight Australian states and territories. FreightExchange gives your team one screen to quote, book and track it, alongside every other carrier on your account, backed by a support team based in Australia.
Most Direct Freight Express 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 Direct Freight Express through FreightExchange. Bring your own account, which needs a 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 Freight Express when you are sending cartons or pallets into regional Australia and want company depots rather than agency handoffs, or when you supply major retailers and need freight to land inside a receiving window.
It is one of Australia’s largest family owned freight companies, running national parcel and bulk pallet express road freight on its own linehaul fleet through company operated depots supported by agency facilities. Head office is at Warwick Farm in south west Sydney.
The published network reaches all eight states and territories from more than 60 locations, with the deepest coverage in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, and company sites in places like Boggabri, Mareeba, Berri, Katherine and Wonthaggi.
Express Freight is the national road service for parcels and pallets.
Book in Freight is for consignments going into major retailer distribution centres. Direct Freight Express confirms the booking once the freight and documentation are in, which removes one of the most common causes of a rejected delivery and a rebooking fee.
Dangerous goods, temperature control, oversized freight and two person delivery are not offered as named services.
Whether you bring your own Direct Freight Express 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.
