State Transport

Overview

State Transport has been a major player in Australian freight since its establishment in 1989, growing from a Melbourne-based operation into one of the eastern seaboard’s most capable freight carriers. With a fleet of over 250 vehicles, the company has the scale and infrastructure to handle significant freight volumes across the Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane corridor, while maintaining the service flexibility that customers expect from an owner-operated business.

Over more than three decades in the industry, State Transport has invested heavily in fleet modernisation and operational efficiency. The company’s core strength is its dominance of the eastern seaboard freight lanes, offering daily scheduled services between Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane with competitive transit times. Their container transport capabilities complement their general freight operations, providing customers with a single carrier solution for both palletised and containerised cargo moving along Australia’s busiest freight corridors.
