Whether you’re moving cartons, pallets, temperature-controlled freight, containers, or full truckloads, we match your freight to the most efficient solution, supported by nationwide coverage, industry experience, and dependable service.
Established to bridge New Zealand’s two major freight gateways, Express Cargo was built on the principle of providing flexible, reliable freight solutions supported by strong customer service and clear communication.
Since opening our doors, we have continued to expand and evolve our service offering. This has included the introduction of Express Interisland services, utilising specialised equipment such as air-suspended temperature-controlled units, mezzanine floors, and roller bed options. By working closely with a carefully selected group of service partners, we can offer a diverse range of freight solutions to and from any destination throughout New Zealand.
Today, Express Cargo is recognised as one of the country’s leading independent freight brokers. Our ability to purchase freight capacity in bulk allows us to offer competitiven rates across a wide range of freight types, without being tied to a single carrier.
Our team brings a combined wealth of experience across freight brokerage, logistics management, and transport operations. Over the years, we have worked alongside etailers, FMCG businesses, e-Commerce businesses, major international airlines, air and sea freight forwarders, primary producers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and end users. This gives us a practical, end-to-end understanding of New Zealand’s freight requirements.
At Express Cargo, our focus remains on delivering dependable service, tailored solutions, and long-term partnerships that help our customers move freight efficiently and keep their businesses running smoothly.
Express Cargo is a New Zealand–owned independent freight broker with over 25 years’ experience delivering customised freight solutions nationwide. We don’t force your freight into a one-size-fits-all service. We design the right solution for your shipment, your timeframe, and your business.
Every shipment is different. We don’t force freight into fixed options, instead, we match each shipment with the right service, timing, budget, and transport method to suit your business.
From cartons and pallets to ambient, chilled, and frozen, full truckloads, intra-island and inter-island movements, we move freight anywhere in New Zealand, in any direction, using proven nationwide partners.
We work with a trusted network of over 110 service partners. This gives you access to the best option for every shipment, not just what fits one fleet or carrier.
From booking through to delivery, you deal with one experienced team who manages the details for you. Our New Zealand-based call centre means you speak to real people who keep you informed, respond quickly, and understand your freight.
Urgent, complex, oversized, or time‐critical freight is where we excel. We focus on solutions, not scripts, with hands‐on support and practical advice when things don’t go to
plan.
Super Economy, Economy, Express, Chilled, Frozen, Full Truckload, Hiab, Point-to-Point, Shipping Containers, Dedicated Runs, and more, all managed through one team and one system.
Thank you once again for being a valued customer! We look forward to serving you again.
