Site-to-site tipper transport
Tipper Truck Transport Service Australia
Move your load from one site to another with a carrier-operated tipper and driver. Set the pickup and drop-off, choose a truck and see a time-and-distance quote before you book.
How transport works
Your load, moved from A to B
A transport job is for when you already have the material and a place for it to go. The driver loads at your pickup site, travels the route and unloads at your drop-off. There is no material purchase and no tip fee on the job.
Need the material taken away and disposed of instead? Book Cart & Dispose. Moving large volumes over many loads? See bulk haulage.

Transport FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tipper truck transport service?
A transport service moves a load from one site to another with a carrier-operated tipper truck and driver. You provide the load and the destination. Tipaload does not sell material or arrange disposal on transport jobs.
How is a transport service priced?
The price is based on the hourly rate and per-kilometre rate for the truck you choose, with a minimum transport charge for short trips. Loading and unloading allowances are included, and extra time is charged in 15-minute increments. You see the quote before you post the job.
How is transport different from Cart & Dispose?
Transport moves your load to a destination you have arranged, such as another site or yard. With Cart & Dispose, the operator takes the material away and includes a suitable tip site and disposal in the job.
Which trucks can I book for transport?
Options range from 1.5 to 5 tonne small tippers through bogie, 8 wheeler and 10 wheeler rigids, semi tippers, truck and dog combinations and heavy configurations such as B-doubles and road trains, subject to route approval and carrier availability.
Where in Australia is the transport service available?
Transport jobs can be posted for addresses across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and regional areas. Availability depends on carrier partners operating near your pickup address.
Does the destination need to accept the load?
Yes. You are responsible for making sure the receiving site can legally accept the material, including any classification or documentation it requires, and that the truck can access the site safely.
Can I book a same-day transport job?
You can request today, tomorrow or a specific date when posting the job. Same-day jobs depend on a carrier with a suitable truck being available in your area.
