Our Core Freight Services
Fast Cargo covers every link in your supply chain with tailored solutions that scale alongside your business.
Domestic Freight
Road, rail and coastal shipping across every Australian state and territory. We coordinate full-truckload and less-than-truckload consignments with real-time tracking from pick-up to proof of delivery.
International Shipping
Sea freight, air freight and customs brokerage to over 120 countries. Our global network of carrier partnerships means competitive rates and reliable transit times for FCL, LCL and air cargo.
Warehouse & Logistics
Secure, climate-controlled warehousing facilities across south-east Australia. We handle inventory management, pick-and-pack fulfilment, cross-docking and distribution so you can focus on growth.
Express Delivery
Time-critical shipments handled with priority routing and dedicated vehicles. Same-day metro dispatch, next-day interstate and urgent air charter options keep your deadlines intact.
Bulk Haulage
High-volume and oversized freight moved safely via B-double, road train and flat-rack configurations. We manage permit applications, route surveys and pilot vehicle escorts for every heavy load.
Who We Are
Founded in Seaford, Victoria, Freight Companies Australia has spent over a decade building the infrastructure, carrier relationships and technology platforms that power Fast Cargo. Our 120-strong team manages more than 15,000 consignments each month across domestic and international lanes.
We invest in route optimisation software, live GPS tracking and a 24/7 operations centre so that every shipment is visible from warehouse floor to customer door. Our clients range from emerging e-commerce brands to ASX-listed manufacturers, and each one receives a dedicated account manager committed to keeping freight costs low and service levels high.
Learn More About UsWhat Our Clients Say
"We switched to Fast Cargo after years of unreliable deliveries with our previous provider. The difference was immediate. Our interstate orders now arrive a full day earlier on average, and the real-time tracking gives our customer service team the visibility they need."
Supply Chain Manager, Greenfield Organics
"Fast Cargo handles our sea freight from Shenzhen to Melbourne and the warehousing on this end. Their customs team cleared a complex quarantine shipment in under 48 hours, which saved us tens of thousands in storage fees. Highly recommend for anyone importing at scale."
Director, Apex Industrial Supplies
"As a small business, we needed a freight partner willing to tailor solutions rather than force us into a one-size-fits-all contract. Fast Cargo set up a hybrid road-and-rail plan that cut our per-unit shipping cost by 18 per cent within the first quarter."
Founder, Southside Homewares
