Industries We Move Freight For
Every industry breaks freight in a different place. Retail breaks at the customer's front door, construction breaks at an unloading point with no forklift, exhibitions break at a bump-in window that will not move. Here is how DSE handles each one.
Pick the sector that looks like your supply chain
DSE Transport has been moving freight for Australian businesses for more than 30 years, and the pattern is the same in every sector: the trucks are the easy part, and the difficulty sits at the edges — the loading dock that has no forklift, the delivery window that closes at 10am, the item that is 9 metres long, the customer standing in a doorway expecting a tidy handover. Each page below sets out the freight problems that sector runs into, and which of our services and fleet classes answer them.
Retail & eCommerce
Store replenishment, home delivery and returns.
From knickknacks to large, expensive tech, the delivery is the last thing your customer remembers. DSE runs store deliveries, home delivery, installs and returns as your brand ambassadors.

Construction & Building Supplies
Crane trucks, flattops and over-length loads to site.
Steel, beams, frames, panels and packs of materials, delivered onto sites that rarely have a forklift waiting. Crane trucks lift up to 13.5m lengths and flattops handle the awkward stuff.

Manufacturing & Machinery
Plant, components and freight that will not fit a pallet.
Inbound components, outbound finished goods and machinery that is too long, too tall or too heavy for standard freight. Send us dimensions and photos and we will build the solution.

FMCG & Wholesale
Multi-drop runs, DC booking slots and pallet linehaul.
Load once and drop all day, or move pallets between states on express or general linehaul. Live milestones and proof of delivery on every consignment through the myDSE portal.

Events & Exhibitions
Bump-in, bump-out and interstate stand moves.
DSE is proud to have worked with most exhibition organisers in Australia. Tight bump-in windows, after-hours access and stands that need to be in the next capital city on Monday.

Sector expertise is worth very little without the equipment and the coverage to act on it. Whichever page you land on, this is what is underneath it.
One fleet, vans to B-doubles
Parcel vans carrying 1–3 pallets, rigids to 14 tonnes, semis at 22–24 pallets and B-doubles up to 34 — plus tautliners, flattops, crane trucks and furniture pans. You are never forced into the wrong truck because it is the only one available.
Five branches, one point of contact
Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, each with its own operations team, backed by interstate linehaul to every mainland capital plus regional and country destinations.
Dedicated hire as standard
Our core local service is dedicated hire — one driver, one job at a time, only your freight on board from pickup to delivery. Nothing sits in a depot waiting for a consolidation run unless you ask for one.
Visibility you can hand to a customer
Real-time GPS on the vehicle, live milestone updates on the runsheet, and proof of delivery, photos, paperwork and invoices in the myDSE portal.
Local teams in five states, linehaul between all of them
Metropolitan work runs out of the nearest branch. Interstate freight runs on our own linehaul network, so a Melbourne pickup and a Perth delivery are still one phone call and one invoice.
Most of our work starts with an unusual job
Five pages cannot cover every industry in Australia, and the sectors above are simply the ones we are asked about most. If your freight is longer, higher, heavier or more awkward than anything described here, that is a conversation we have every day — send through dimensions and photos and our customised services team will work out how to move it.
