What is General Freight? Your Transport Options
General freight is standard general commercial freight that doesn't need specialised freight services like refrigerated or dangerous goods permits.
For general freight, you can transport carton goods, pallet goods, containerised goods and parcels that can move using standard road freight transport equipment.
General freight services differ from express courier services, designed for smaller, time-critical, package delivery needs. With regards to general freight services, the consignments can consist of one pallet to multiple fully laden truckloads.
This service is more cost-effective for companies transporting goods like inventory, equipment, building goods, and industrial supplies.
At Oz Coast Logistics, our general freight services include:
- Pallet delivery – single to multiple pallets with tail lift options
- Parcel services – larger parcels exceeding standard payload courier terms
- Full truck loads – dedicated truck vehicles for consolidated consignments
- Part truck load – share truck space to minimise cost for smaller consignments
The primary difference General freight has a scheduled transport with a focus on reliability and being cost-efficient rather than a wish to be there in the same hour, which can make it very suitable for pre-arranged stock movements, regulated supply chain needs and business-to-business use.
