The brands behind our fleet
Who we are
We own both ends of the Nullarbor.
Almost every load to Perth changes over in Adelaide.
Adelaide is the hinge of the entire East-West corridor. For road freight, trailers change drivers at an Adelaide interstate depot before the Nullarbor run. The time a trailer sits in Adelaide waiting for the next departure is one of the biggest hidden costs in the lane.
MFD Linehaul is anchored exactly at that hinge, and it owns the other end too with its own Perth depot at Kewdale. Not a broker passing freight over the Nullarbor. We run the trucks, own both depots, and control the changeover that everyone else treats as dead time.
- Own interstate depot in Adelaide, at the changeover point
- Own depot in Perth at Kewdale, not a third party
- One operator end to end across 3,400 km
What we move
Built around the East-West run.
Four services that complete the lane: the linehaul itself, the first and last mile at each end, urgent freight when it has to move, and secure storage on both sides of the country.
Why MFD
The operator who owns the lane.
We own both ends
Anchored at Wingfield in Adelaide and Kewdale in Perth. We control the changeover everyone else treats as dead time.
Our own fleet, not brokered
Over 40 late-model prime movers and our own trailing equipment. Your freight stays with us the whole way, not handed to a stranger over the Nullarbor.
Full value insurance
NHVAS accredited and fully insured to the value of your freight. Compliance and cover sorted before the wheels turn.

What our customers say
A 97 percent referral rate is no accident.
Freight networks and direct shippers stay with MFD because the freight lands on time. Here is what they say.
“MFD have run our East-West linehaul reliably for years. When we need capacity across the Nullarbor, they answer the phone and the freight moves. A 97 percent referral rate is no accident.”
Rodney Johnston
COO, TFMXpress
“They own both ends of the run and it shows. Trailers don't sit waiting in Adelaide, and our freight lands in Perth when it's supposed to. That reliability is what keeps us with them.”
Phillip Jones
CEO, Meta Logistics
“We ship time-critical freight and MFD's hotshot service has never let us down. Live tracking the whole way, and on one run it arrived four hours early. That is the difference road makes.”
