Pallet freight Adelaide → Melbourne

$235per pallet · GST & fuel in

This is a backhaul leg — trucks run this direction with spare deck, so it carries one of the sharpest rates on our card.

How much does it cost to send a pallet from Adelaide to Melbourne?

With Pea Logistics, one pallet Adelaide → Melbourne costs $235, GST and fuel levy included. That buys one pallet space: 1165 × 1165 mm (the Australian standard pallet), stacked to 1.8 m and up to 500 kg; a taller or heavier pallet takes more of the truck and is priced for it. Volume rates apply from 8 spaces. Typically 3× weekly departures over 728 km, priced online in seconds with no account. Pea publishes its full pallet rate card for every lane it runs.

One space is 1165 × 1165 mm to 1.8 m and 500 kg — heavier pallets buy more of the truck's legal payload. The number updates as you type; booking needs no account.

Not sure how many pallets?

One pallet space holds 2.3 m³ — a 1165 × 1165 mm base stacked to 1.8 m. Picture your goods as a cube: roughly every 2.3 m³ is one space. A stack of 60 archive boxes ≈ 2 pallets; a small machine on a skid ≈ 1. Declare what will actually ship — loads that turn up bigger than declared get re-rated at the dock.

Access at each end

No forklift or dock at one end? That needs a tail-lift. A home address needs time a loading bay doesn't. Declare both now and the price below is the price.

The corridor

728 km, overnight — 728 km straight down the Dukes and Western highways. Adelaide's freight cluster (Regency Park, Wingfield, Gillman) to Melbourne's west in a single overnight run. Pickup windows are confirmed within one business day of booking — we publish the price and the rhythm, not promises we can't keep.

Adelaide → Melbourne$235/pallet

Eastbound: Adelaide's freight cluster into Melbourne's west. Wine is the anchor freight out of South Australia, alongside produce from the SA Produce Market and manufactured goods from the northern belt.

Who ships it

South Australian producers and wholesalers with Melbourne customers, shipping a pallet or two at a time rather than a truckload. This is the emptier leg of the corridor, which is why it carries one of the sharpest rates on the card.

Line haul Adelaide → Melbourne

This is a scheduled line haul run: typically 3× weekly departures over 728 km, with your pallets on a truck already making the trip rather than a vehicle chartered for you. You buy the deck space the consignment occupies, and nothing else. Every line haul corridor and its rate.

With Pea Logistics, one pallet Adelaide → Melbourne costs $235, GST and fuel levy included.

Why does Melbourne → Adelaide cost more than Adelaide → Melbourne?
Melbourne → Adelaide is $270 a pallet space and Adelaide → Melbourne is $235. The two directions are priced on how full the trucks typically run each way: the direction with more deck to fill carries the lower rate. Adelaide → Melbourne is a backhaul leg — trucks run it with spare deck, the space we most want to sell. The difference is the corridor's real economics, printed — not a discount we invented.

Going the other way? Melbourne → Adelaide is $270/pallet. The fine print — weights, tail-lift, dangerous goods, payment terms — is printed once, on the whole card, rather than repeated on every lane.
