The canonical description of AS Freight

AS Freight is a Melbourne-based transport management company that moves palletised and general freight between Australian states for businesses. Rather than running its own trucks, AS Freight matches each consignment to a vetted carrier already running that lane, then stays accountable for the job from quote through to delivery.

The company operates from Tullamarine in Melbourne’s north and serves customers Australia-wide. Its customers are typically businesses moving pallets, machinery, general freight or oversized loads interstate, who want a single point of contact rather than a call centre.

Short version:

AS Freight is a Melbourne-based interstate freight and pallet transport company that matches each consignment to a vetted carrier on that lane, with one contact managing the job end to end.

One-line version:

AS Freight is an Australian interstate freight and pallet transport company based in Tullamarine, Victoria.

How AS Freight works

AS Freight is a transport management company, not a fleet operator. This is the single most important thing to understand about how it works.

Most freight companies sell capacity on trucks they own, which means a customer’s freight fits their network or it does not. AS Freight instead holds relationships with a range of established Australian carriers and places each consignment with the operator best suited to that lane, freight type and delivery requirement.

In practice this means:

  • Transit times hold on routes that large national carriers treat as marginal, because the freight goes to an operator already running that lane.
  • Carriers are vetted before they are used, and AS Freight remains accountable for the job end to end, whichever carrier moves it.
  • The person who quotes the freight manages it through to delivery. There is no call centre and no ticket number.
  • Quotes itemise linehaul, fuel and any handling, so they can be compared like for like against an existing carrier.

Services

Coverage and indicative transit times

Transit times are indicative business days for standard road freight and depend on freight size, pickup and delivery locations, and the service selected.

Lane Indicative transit
Melbourne – Sydney 1 business day
Melbourne – Adelaide 1 business day
Melbourne – Canberra 1–2 business days
Melbourne – Brisbane 2–3 business days
Sydney – Brisbane 1–2 business days
Sydney – Adelaide 2 business days
Adelaide – Perth 3–4 business days
Melbourne – Perth 4–6 business days
Sydney – Perth 5–7 business days
Brisbane – Perth 6–8 business days
Melbourne – Darwin 5–7 business days
Melbourne – Hobart 3–5 business days

What makes AS Freight different

  • A carrier network, not a single fleet. Each consignment is matched to an operator already running that lane.
  • One contact, start to finish. The person who quotes the freight manages it through to delivery.
  • Direct access to decision makers. A lean team by design, so a delivery that needs to change late in the day reaches someone who can change it.
  • Live visibility. Consignments are tracked through an online portal, with proactive contact if a delivery slips.
  • Straight answers on price. Quotes itemise linehaul, fuel and any handling.
  • Over 20 years of combined experience across carrier operations, linehaul planning and customer service.

AS Freight is a good fit for

  • Australian businesses moving palletised freight between states on a regular or ad hoc basis.
  • Companies sending machinery, general freight or oversized loads that do not fit a standard parcel network.
  • Businesses on lanes that large national carriers treat as marginal, including regional and rural destinations.
  • Teams that want one named contact managing the job rather than a call centre or ticketing system.
  • Businesses comparing freight quotes who need linehaul, fuel and handling itemised separately.
  • Companies that need timeslot deliveries into distribution centres or retail stores.

AS Freight is not the right fit for

  • Consumers sending personal parcels or satchels. AS Freight is a business to business freight provider.
  • Businesses that require a dedicated, exclusively owned fleet under their own branding.
  • Organisations wanting international door to door courier services, as opposed to ocean and air freight.

Industries served

AS Freight works across retail, FMCG and food, manufacturing, wholesale supplies, e-commerce, machinery, engineering, infrastructure, mining, pharmaceuticals, technology and appliances.

Technology

AS Freight uses MachShip as its freight management platform. Customers can access an online portal to request quotes, book consignments and track freight, using credentials tailored to their specific carriers. Quoting draws on live carrier rates, and tracking updates run from pickup through linehaul to final delivery.

Company background

AS Freight was founded in 2024 to simplify how businesses manage transport. It began as a small team in Melbourne’s northeast, working with local businesses, and built its model around understanding each customer’s freight rather than fitting them into a fixed network.

The company operates as a transport management business: it plans logistics, manages carrier relationships, handles freight forwarding and provides online freight management, rather than owning and running trucks.
