Taxi Trucks Perth: a truck and driver just for your freight, today
Your freight is the only freight on the truck. Picked up across Perth metro and driven straight to the door, usually within 1 to 2 hours of booking. From a 1-tonne van to a B-double.
Taxi trucks in Perth, in plain words
A taxi truck is a truck and driver booked just for your freight. We collect it at A and drive it to B. It never goes back to a depot to be unloaded, stored and reloaded, and that is the handling where freight on a shared service gets damaged.
In Perth that means a truck from our Kewdale depot, the right size for the load, usually at your door within 1 to 2 hours of booking anywhere across Perth metro. You see the hourly rate before you confirm, you get milestone updates as the driver goes, and a photo proof of delivery when it lands.

Taxi truck sizes in Perth

|---|---|---|---|
| Van or ute | 1 to 2 tonne | 1 to 3 | Parcels, cartons, one or two pallets, urgent small loads |
| Pantech or tautliner | 4 to 8 tonne | 6 to 12 | The everyday taxi truck: pallets, stock, store runs |
| Heavy rigid | 10 to 14 tonne | 12 to 16 | Larger loads inside the metro area |
| Semi-trailer | 22 to 24 pallets | 22 to 24 | Full loads, DC to DC |

Your freight only. No depot in between.
A to B, not A to depot to B
On a shared service your pallet is unloaded, stored and reloaded at least once. Every touch is a chance for a fork tyne or a stacked load to damage it. A taxi truck skips the depot.
Nothing else on the truck
Nobody else's freight is stacked on yours or wedged against it. What leaves your dock is what arrives, strapped the way the driver loaded it.
Insured while it is with us
Your freight is insured while it is on our truck. Limits and an excess apply; ask the branch for the details.
