Interstate Linehaul
Connecting Australia’s Cities
TLS plays a crucial role in trade and commerce by providing comprehensive end-to-end solutions that seamlessly connect Australia’s major cities. From the point of origin to the final destination, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers trust TLS to transport their goods across state and territory borders without delay.
Our Modern Fleet
A Reliable Investment
We invest significantly in our interstate fleet, with over 150 company-owned trailers. Our dedicated maintenance team ensures that each piece of equipment is operating in peak condition, minimising the risk of any unnecessary delays. This extra level of care provides our customers with the assurance that TLS runs a safe and dependable service that’s fit to travel across Australia’s vast geographical landscape.
Commercial Innovation
Not Only Are We Reliable; We Are Also Flexible
Mindful of our environmental footprint and often ahead of the market, TLS was among the first to introduce super b-double mezzanine trailer combinations to our fleet. These trailer configurations allow for a greater volume of freight to be loaded, maximising efficiency and minimising the number of trucks on the road.
In addition to the environmental benefits, the greater variety of trailer combinations in our fleet allows for increased flexibility to accommodate special requirements, customise loads and adapt to changing demand.
Tracking Truck and Trailer
Offering Piece of Mind
Our modern fleet is fully tracked with devices fitted to both prime movers and trailers, enabling precise location monitoring of each piece of equipment at any given time. This real-time visibility enhances security and improves the scheduling and coordination of our operations. It also enables us to provide our customers with accurate updates at every stage of the journey.
Our fleet also boasts onboard technology that generates valuable data on vehicle speed, idling time and driver behaviour. Using this information, we can ensure compliance with regulations, promote safer driving practices, and identify areas for driver training and improvement.
Utilising the Changeover Model
Keeping our Drivers Safe
We operate our interstate linehaul services using the changeover model, where linehaul drivers commence and conclude their shifts at their local depot. This approach ensures that our drivers arrive fresh and ready for work while enabling them to return home to sleep in their own beds. Not only does this safeguard against driver fatigue, but it also provides our drivers with more time to spend with their loved ones.
