Where to Start
Freight and logistics come with their own language. If you’re new to it, or just want a plain-English refresher, these are good places to start.
What is 3PL?
Third-party logistics, explained simply. Covers storage, order fulfilment and distribution handled by a partner instead of in-house. Full answer on our 3PL Warehousing & Distribution page.
What is a Consignment Note?
The document that travels with your freight, recording what’s being sent, where it’s going, and who’s responsible at each stage. Full answer on our Victorian Road Transport page.
FTL vs LTL: What’s the Difference?
Full Truck Load versus Less Than Truckload, and why it changes how your freight is priced and handled. Full answer on our Victorian Road Transport page.
How is Freight Priced?
Pricing follows the actual weight and volume of what you’re moving, not a flat rate card. The fastest way to get an exact number is to request a quote directly.
How Do I Track My Freight?
Through the AUZ customer portal. Log in from the link in the header and you can see where your consignment is without ringing the depot, though you are always welcome to do that too.
