Smarter Carrier Choice

Most businesses send a range of products, to a range of locations, requiring a range of services. There isn’t one carrier in Australia that can do all of this well. Different carriers have different strengths in either regions, services or freight profile. The hard part is knowing who to use for what, where and when.

Some freight carriers are brilliant at parcels; however, they are expensive at pallets.

Some have invested in automated operations and tracking, so they provide a great service for last mile and B2C deliveries, but not for fragile or bulky items.

Some are brilliant at air services, but poor with dangerous goods and some have extensive East Coast services, but struggle with WA.

Smarter freight means having access to multiple carriers at any time to allow you to choose the right option for the right goods, without the need to compromise.

Freight People works with all the leading freight companies in Australia and with our group buying power, we can ensure you’re getting the best possible rates.
