Vehicle transport Mackay
Mackay is the service centre for the Bowen Basin coal region, and the vehicle movement here runs on mining rosters rather than on the ordinary relocation cycle.
Corridors serving Mackay
Mackay is serviced off our Brisbane runs, so these are the corridors your vehicle travels on, with a local leg at the Mackay end. Prices are indicative starting points for a sedan, depot-to-depot, one way.
| Corridor | Distance | Typical transit | Departures | Mode | From | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney Brisbane | 920 km | 1–3 business days | Daily | Road | $470 | Details |
| Brisbane Townsville | 1,350 km | 3–6 business days | Weekly | Road | $620 | Details |
| Melbourne Brisbane | 1,700 km | 2–5 business days | Daily | Road | $690 | Details |
| Brisbane Cairns | 1,700 km | 3–7 business days | Weekly | Road | $690 | Details |
| Brisbane Adelaide | 2,000 km | 3–6 business days | 2× weekly | Road | $790 | Details |
| Brisbane Perth | 4,300 km | 8–14 business days | Weekly | Rail | $1,490 | Details |
That changes the shape of the work. A large share of what we move belongs to FIFO and DIDO workers whose roster means they are not in Mackay when the truck is, so nominated collection — a partner, a family member, a neighbour handing over the keys — is the norm rather than the exception here. Depot drop-off before a swing is equally common. Mine site delivery into the Basin is possible but subject to site access rules, inductions and permitted hours that we do not control, so tell us at quote stage if delivery is to a site rather than a town. Cyclone season affects services between November and April.
Indicative prices from Brisbane
Mackay is quoted off the Brisbane rate plus the local leg, so treat these as a floor rather than your price.

| Sydney | 1–3 days | $470 |
| Canberra | 2–4 days | $560 |
