Considerations
Primarily Australia-focused with no international logistics capabilities, limiting options for companies with global supply chain needs
Strongest presence in Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory; more limited infrastructure in Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia
Freight is not automatically insured, requiring customers to arrange their own coverage
No set backloading schedule from regional branches, with back-freight managed on a case-by-case basis
