Pallet freight · rate card public
Pallet rates you can read without asking.
The whole card, published — almost nobody in Australian pallet freight does that. From $95 a pallet. GST in, fuel levy in, insurance to $20,000 in. No account minimums, no quote forms, no callback queue.

One pallet space is 1165 × 1165 mm to 1.8 m and 500 kg. Heavier pallets take more of the truck's legal payload, so they buy more spaces — that's the only arithmetic on this card.
The card, in full
Per pallet space, inc GST, both directions listed separately because trucks don't run equally full both ways. Green rows are backhaul legs — decks with spare space, so they carry our sharpest rates.

Lane by lane
No fuel levy. Ever.
The industry quotes a rate, then adds a weekly-indexed fuel levy on top — published at 34.63% on palletised express at one major this month. Ours is $0, forever, because diesel is already in the card. When diesel moves, the card moves — your booked price doesn't.
No account minimums.
Two pallets a month is a customer, not an inconvenience. First shipments are payment-before-pickup; after three clean runs we move accounts to 14-day invoicing (credit at our discretion). No forms before you see a price.
Backhaul honesty.
Some legs run with spare deck, and we'd rather fill them than pretend otherwise — those lanes are marked and priced sharper. Adelaide shippers do especially well out of this.
