Interstate freight for cartons, pallets and bulky goods
Compare available freight services between Australian states. Linear Freight helps businesses assess carrier options for carton, pallet and bulky shipments through one quoting and booking process.
Start with your route and freight details
Enter the pickup and delivery suburbs and postcodes, followed by the number of items, packed dimensions and weight. Select the correct address types and handling requirements at both ends.
Carrier availability varies by route. Metro-to-metro shipments can have different options from freight travelling to regional or remote destinations.
Compare service estimates carefully
Consider the delivery estimate as well as the price. Estimates depend on the chosen carrier, service, collection date and route; they are not a blanket guarantee of delivery by a particular time.
If your freight is needed for a fixed event, production deadline or booked appointment, discuss that requirement with our team before booking.
What affects interstate freight costs?
Distance is one factor, but the space your shipment takes up, its weight and the service selected also matter. Loading equipment, residential addresses and location access can change the price.
Measure goods after packing. For mixed loads, enter each size and item type separately so your quote reflects what will actually be collected.
Prepare both ends of the shipment
Make sure the collection and delivery contacts know what is being shipped and what equipment is needed. Check business hours and any vehicle access restrictions before booking.
Package and label the freight for transport through the carrier network. If goods need special handling or contain dangerous goods, disclose that before choosing a service.
Can interstate freight go to a regional address?
Available services depend on the origin, destination and freight profile. Use the actual suburbs and postcodes to check options. Our team can help with route enquiries where the online results do not suit your shipment.
