Road freight is the movement of goods by truck across Australia’s highway and road network — the most widely used freight mode in the country, projected to grow 77% by 2050 as Australian trade continues to expand. It’s the backbone of interstate commerce and the most flexible option for businesses of all sizes.
Unlike rail or air, road freight can reach virtually any destination in Australia — from major capital city warehouses and distribution centres to suburban businesses and remote regional sites. Speed Post operates across the full national road freight network, handling single consignments, multi-drop runs, and regular scheduled freight movements.

Road Freight Options to Suit Your Load
We offer two main road freight options depending on your consignment volume — both include full door-to-door service and complete delivery documentation.
Full Truckload (FTL)
Your freight fills the entire truck — no shared space, no additional stops. A dedicated vehicle moves directly from your pickup address to the delivery destination.
Best for: High-volume consignments, time-critical freight, sensitive or high-value cargo that requires minimal handling and direct routing.
Less Than Truckload (LTL)
Your freight shares truck space with other consignments — a cost-effective solution for smaller loads that don’t require a full vehicle. You only pay for the space you use.
Best for: Smaller consignments, regular freight movements, and businesses looking to reduce per-shipment costs without sacrificing reliability.

Road Freight FAQs
What’s the difference between FTL and LTL?
FTL (Full Truckload) means your freight occupies the entire truck — ideal for large volumes, priority freight, or sensitive cargo needing minimal handling. LTL (Less Than Truckload) means your consignment shares space with other freight — more cost-effective for smaller loads. We’ll recommend the right option based on your freight volume and requirements.
Can you deliver to regional and remote areas?
Yes — road freight is the only freight mode capable of reaching remote and regional Australian destinations. Our network covers regional towns, rural properties, and remote sites across all states and territories. Contact us with your delivery address and we’ll confirm coverage and provide a quote.
How is road freight priced?
Road freight is priced based on the weight and dimensions of your cargo, the distance, the service type (FTL or LTL), and any special handling requirements. We provide a clear, fixed-price quote within 15–30 minutes of your enquiry — no hidden fees or fuel levy surprises.
What documentation will I receive?
On delivery completion, you’ll receive a confirmation email or call with your consignment PDF, freight label PDF, and full tax invoice — all in one email, ready for your records and accounting reconciliation.
