MFD Linehaul

About

Owner-led, Adelaide based, built on the East-West run.

MFD Linehaul grew by doing the hardest freight lane in the country properly. Today it runs over 40 prime movers from depots at both ends, with a 97 percent referral rate to show for it.

Our story

MFD Linehaul is an Adelaide-based interstate road freight operator specialising in the East-West corridor between South Australia and Western Australia, with onward links to Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and regional WA.

We run our own fleet rather than broking freight to others. Head office and main depot are at Wingfield in Adelaide, with a second depot at Kewdale in Perth. That structure is deliberate: it puts us at the changeover point the whole corridor turns on, and it means we own the work from one end to the other.

Over the years that approach has earned a 97 percent referral rate and a customer base that includes both direct shippers and other freight networks who subcontract their East-West linehaul to us. We move almost anything: palletised freight, containers, machinery, and even cars and boats.

What we run on

Three things we do not compromise.

Safety first

NHVAS accredited and run by people who treat the Nullarbor with the respect it demands. Safety is the value the whole operation is built on.

Own the work

We run our own trucks from our own depots. When something needs doing on the lane, it is on us, and we own it.

Based at the changeover point that the whole corridor turns on, with our own depot in Perth at the other end.

Safety & accreditation

NHVAS accredited, fully insured.

On the longest unbroken highway in the country, compliance is not paperwork, it is how the freight and the crews get home. We hold full accreditation and cover before the wheels turn.

Our people

Real people who answer the phone.

MFD is owner-led by Steve Ross, and it shows in who picks up when you call. The operations team knows the lanes, knows the trucks, and can make a decision without sending it up a chain.

It is the opposite of the big, impersonal end of the market. You deal with people who run the corridor themselves, not a call centre reading from a script.
