Semi Trailer Transport Sydney
Full loads on a semi trailer, from Sydney warehouses and sites to the rest of the metro area and regional NSW. Booked by the load or hired with a driver.
Semi trailer transport for full loads
When a job is too big for a rigid truck, a semi trailer moves it in one go. That means one load, one truck and one driver, instead of splitting the freight across two or three trips.
A standard semi trailer takes up to 22 Australian standard pallets. So it is the right size for warehouse transfers, bulk stock moves and large site deliveries.
We book the semi, plan the pickup and delivery, and stay your contact from start to finish.

Semi trailers need more room than a rigid truck. A prime mover and semi together run to about 19 metres, so tell us about both sites before we book.
If a semi will not fit, we will tell you before the day and suggest a rigid truck instead.
- Is there room for a semi to drive in and back out?
- Is there a forklift or a dock at both ends?
- Are there height, weight or time limits on the street?
- Does the site need an induction or a booking?

Semi trailer transport questions
How many pallets fit on a semi trailer?
A standard semi trailer takes up to 22 Australian standard pallets. The real number depends on the pallet size, the weight and how the load is stacked.
Is a semi cheaper than two rigid trucks?
For a full load, usually yes, because one driver and one truck do the job in a single trip. For smaller loads, a rigid truck is often cheaper, so we will tell you which suits when we quote.
Can I hire a semi trailer with a driver?
Yes. Book a semi and driver by the hour for a multi-stop day, or set up permanent truck hire for regular work.
Do you hire out semi trailers without a driver?
No. Every semi we supply comes with a driver.
Do you go regional or interstate?
Yes. We run loads around Sydney and out to regional NSW, and our freight runs go to Melbourne and Brisbane. Call us for anything further afield.
Are the loads insured?
Yes, we carry goods in transit insurance. We can also send a certificate of currency when a site asks for one.
