You load at the Capalaba depot in the morning. The freight is automotive parts, so it's clean and it's light, and it's already sorted for your route before you get there.
Then you're out across Brisbane Metro doing the same drops you did yesterday. Panel shops, mechanics, dealerships. After a month you know which sites have a decent turnaround and which ones you leave a bit of buffer for.
That's the job. If that sounds like the kind of week you've been trying to build for yourself, read on.
Why this run is worth having
It's permanent and it's structured. Same route, same customers, every day. The client contract behind it is long term, so the volume doesn't dry up in a quiet month and your income doesn't swing around week to week.
You'll know what you're earning before you start the week. For an owner driver with a vehicle to pay off, that's the part that actually matters.
- There's a $1,000 sign on bonus, competitive rates paid reliably, and we've got more than one run going right now so an immediate start is on the table.
- Behind you there's an ops team that picks up the phone.
What you need to bring
A 1 tonne van. If you don't have one yet but you're serious about getting into it, still call us.
You'll need an ABN and an ACN. Most drivers turn up with the ABN sorted and no clue why the ACN matters. That's normal and we'll walk you through it.
Then the basics: full Australian working rights, a valid licence, and a qualified way of carrying yourself. You're wearing our name at every site, and our customers notice.
