Followmont Transport is a family owned road freight business running express services across Queensland and New South Wales, with real depth in regional towns that larger carriers hand to an agent. It moves cartons, pallets and fresh produce rather than one off parcels. FreightExchange gives your team one screen to quote, book and track it, alongside every other carrier on your account.
Most Followmont consignments already exist as an order somewhere else, in your ERP, your CRM or your online store. FreightExchange reads that order and builds the consignment from it, so the rate, the label and the manifest come out of one step rather than three. The same connection covers the rest of your carriers, so nothing gets keyed twice. See the plugins and integrations we support.
There are two ways to ship Followmont 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 Followmont when the delivery address is a regional Queensland town and you want a carrier that runs there itself every day. Regional reach is the whole point of the business.
Followmont has more than 40 years in road freight and runs over 1,000 vehicles. It publishes 18 company owned regional depots backed by a network of local contractors, and more than 30 depot locations across Queensland and New South Wales. It covers more than 85,000 kilometres a day, moves around 3,000 tonnes, and reports 99 percent delivered in full and on time. More sits on the Followmont fleet and network page.
Depot towns include Mount Isa, Cloncurry, Longreach, Barcaldine, Charters Towers, Hughenden, Emerald, Moranbah, Tully and Atherton, alongside Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.
Followmont also holds around 30,000 square metres of warehousing at Brisbane, Townsville, Rockhampton and Gladstone. If your freight never leaves the capital cities, a national road carrier from the carrier panel will usually suit it better.
Bring your own Followmont account or book on ours, and your team gets one place to book, one set of labels and manifests, and one record of what every regional delivery actually cost.
