How our Sydney to Canberra service works
Freight is picked up across Greater Sydney and loaded at our depot at 568 Reservoir Road, Prospect, which sits right on the M7 for a direct run to the Hume Highway. Trailers deliver through Bargo, Tahmoor, Thirlmere, Mittagong, Bowral, Marulan and Goulburn before reaching Canberra and the Fyshwick trade and wholesale precinct.
Temperature set points are agreed with you before dispatch, and our fleet of 20 refrigerated trailers runs modern refrigeration equipment built for line haul of this length. Part loads are consolidated on the Canberra run, so you only pay for the space you use.
What we carry to Canberra
- Frozen food lines, including frozen vegetables and potato products
- Poultry, meat, ham, bacon and smallgoods
