  • 02Long lanes love flexibility — ± 1 week saves 10% AND speeds up actual pickup.

  • 04Sturt Highway crossings (Wagga, Hay) can be slow in summer due to harvest traffic.

Why is this lane only weekly?
The economics — there's less return-leg cargo demand from Adelaide to Sydney than from Melbourne to Sydney. We run the lane once a week to ensure trucks are full both directions. As volume grows we'll add a second weekly run.
What's the cheapest way to move SYD → ADL?
Backloading with maximum flexibility. Pick "± 1 week" at quote, and bundle with mid-week pickup. A flexible 2-bed move often comes in under $2,400. Compare that to ~$3,500-4,500 dedicated.
