MFD Linehaul

Hotshot Express

When it has to be there, we move it.

Urgent, time-critical freight across the East-West corridor with live tracking the whole way. Road moves when rail cannot, and we plan the Nullarbor leg to land on time.

Some freight cannot wait for the next consolidation. A line goes down, a part is needed on site, a delivery has to land before a deadline. That is what hotshot is for: a dedicated, time-critical run across the corridor with the freight tracked the whole way.

Road linehaul is more forgiving on timing than rail. Rail runs to a fixed consolidation and departure schedule. We can move when the freight is ready and run it straight through, which is why urgent and hotshot work suits road and suits us.

You get a clear transit expectation up front and live tracking so you, and your customer, always know where it is.

Detail

Why road wins on urgent freight

Move when it's ready

No waiting for a fixed rail consolidation window. When the freight is ready and it has to go, we put it on a truck and run it.

Tracked the whole way

Live tracking so you and your customer can see where it is at any point across the corridor. No black box over the Nullarbor.

One operator, no terminals

Door to door with no rail terminal handover in the middle. Fewer touch points, fewer chances to slip, tighter timing.

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.
