How much does it cost to send a pallet between Melbourne and Brisbane?

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 1,675 km, priced online in seconds with no account. Pea publishes its full pallet rate card for every lane it runs.
