How quickly can a driver be on site for a same-day pickup?

Pickup timing depends on the addresses, freight, road conditions and available vehicle. Dispatch confirms timing and availability for each booking; no time slot is guaranteed.

What sized freight can you handle?

From compact items suited to cars, trade loads for utes and cartons for vans to individual pallets and larger business consignments in our 10-pallet trucks with tail lifts. Send packed dimensions and individual and total weights so dispatch can confirm allocated vehicle fit, payload, loading and site access. Pallet count is not a weight allowance; trucks are quoted separately and availability is confirmed per job.

Do you offer ongoing freight accounts for businesses?

Yes. Monthly invoicing, dedicated drivers, online docketing and consolidated reporting are all part of our freight account service.

Are you available outside business hours?

After-hours requests for evenings, weekends and public holidays can be reviewed by dispatch. Call 1300 973 038 with the pickup, delivery and freight details.

Can I request a car, ute or van for business deliveries?

Yes. Drop-X's fleet includes cars, utes and vans as well as 10-pallet tail-lift trucks. Cars may suit documents and compact parcels; utes may suit trade supplies or awkward loads; vans may suit cartons and stock transfers needing enclosed space. Provide both addresses, packed dimensions, weight and loading details. Dispatch confirms the suitable vehicle, route availability and timing for each job. Truck bookings are quoted separately.
