Road Freight
No matter the shape, size or weight of your shipment, M&S Transport are well equipped to assist you anywhere in Australia. Our company-owned fleet of 60 vehicles can be customised for specialised transport operations, and we draw on long-standing contracted relationships with our contractor network, giving us access to over 2,500 transport vehicles and 175 cranes, HIAB’s and container side-loaders. Our experienced vehicle operators have all received specialised training, and our fleet is backed up by a national network of maintenance and emergency response providers to keep your freight moving.
Most importantly, your personal logistics consultant at M&S will help you fully realise the potential of these assets. Simply get in touch with us today, and the relevant industry specialist will guide you through everything from OH&S compliance to co-ordination with recipient personnel at the point of delivery. This methodical approach is key to our achieving an on-time rate of 99.1% and transporting thousands upon thousands of highly sensitive and valuable items each year without so much as a scratch.

Over-dimensional loads
Single and double drop-deck trailers are part of the M&S fleet, giving you 650mm road clearance for large loads, and we use extendable trailers for over-length cargo. Your personal logistics consultant at M&S will also ensure OH&S compliance and organise everything else required when transporting over-dimensional loads, such as pilot vehicles, permits, route planning and fatigue management.
Full truckload services (FTL)
Designed for maximum flexibility, our FTL services offer 24/7 pickup and delivery almost anywhere in Australia. M&S have strategically placed depots and regional agencies, and our company fleet includes tautliners, open trailers, flat floors, drop decks, double drop decks, singles, B-doubles, B-triples and road trains. For specialised transport operations that exceed these standard configurations, we bring additional capabilities on a per-project basis.
Less than truckload services (LTL)
Thanks to our mix of company-owned and contractor assets, our LTL services extend throughout all states and territories. Our delivery network covers 96% of all Australian towns and cities, and our multiple weekly LTL services include remote locations such as Alice Springs, Newman and Mt. Isa. Employing mezzanine floor tautliners and drop-deck open trailers, these services offer real economy of scale, and we pass the cost savings on to you.
Express shipments
M&S offer express shipping through a two-up driver system. Ensuring that both drivers and cargo are kept safe through proper drive scheduling, this service is simply as fast as road freight gets.
Our Project Services
Fatigue Management
We build fatigue plans to manage driving times for standard and express shipments to ensure that our drivers are always fresh and driving safely. We also carry NHVR Fatigue Management accreditation, meaning our drivers are experts in managing their fatigue, and as a result can drive for longer periods when absolutely necessary.
Photographic Proof
We provide photographic proof of collection and proof of delivery, so you can see exactly how the goods were received by us, and your client. For the remote worker, it is just like being onsite to receive them in person.
WrapSafe Protection
Our 200 micron WrapSafe heat shrink wrapping ensures complete protection for your product while traveling through harsh and changeable conditions, while on-site and when in storage.
