About F&T Freight
F&T Freight is a Queensland-based freight and logistics company, established in 2002, providing professional transport services from our operating base in Kingston, South East Queensland. We service businesses across a wide range of industries, handling everything from local same-day deliveries to complex interstate logistics operations.
Our business is built on straightforward principles: do what we say we will do, communicate clearly, and treat every consignment as though it were our own property. These principles guide every decision we make — from how we recruit and train our drivers, to how we maintain our vehicles, to how we respond when things do not go according to plan.
Our Operating Philosophy
The freight industry is built on trust. Businesses entrust us with their products, their customer relationships, and their reputation every time we collect a consignment. We take that responsibility seriously.
Unlike large national carriers where your freight is one of thousands of anonymous consignments moving through automated systems, F&T Freight maintains a personal, accountable approach. Our team knows your business, understands your requirements, and takes ownership of your freight from collection through to delivery.
This personal approach does not mean we lack sophistication. We invest in modern vehicles, GPS tracking technology, electronic proof of delivery systems, and efficient processes. But technology serves our people — not the other way around. Every shipment has a person responsible for it, and that person is accessible when you need to communicate.
What Sets Us Apart
Personal Accountability
When you call F&T Freight, you speak to someone who knows your account. Not a call centre, not an automated system — a person who can give you answers and take action immediately.
Honest Communication
If there is a problem, we tell you immediately. If we cannot meet a deadline, you hear it from us before it becomes an issue for your customer. Transparency builds trust over time.
Flexible Solutions
Every business is different. We do not force you into rigid service templates. We listen to what you need and configure a solution that genuinely fits your operational requirements.
Fair Pricing
We price our services fairly and transparently. No hidden surcharges, no unexpected fees on your invoice. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Our Commitment to Safety
Safety is non-negotiable in freight transport. The consequences of inadequate safety practices extend beyond regulatory penalties — they can result in serious injury, loss of life, and devastating environmental damage. F&T Freight maintains a proactive safety culture that prioritises risk prevention over reactive compliance.
Our safety programme encompasses vehicle maintenance standards, driver training and assessment, load restraint procedures, fatigue management compliance, and incident investigation processes. We conduct regular safety reviews, update procedures based on industry learnings, and maintain open channels for our drivers and staff to report hazards or concerns without fear of reprisal.
Chain of Responsibility (CoR) legislation means that all parties in the supply chain share accountability for safety outcomes. We work cooperatively with our clients, their customers, and our subcontractors to ensure that everyone in the chain is meeting their obligations. This collaborative approach to safety benefits everyone and reduces risk throughout the supply chain.
Environmental Responsibility
Road freight has an environmental footprint, and we acknowledge our responsibility to minimise it wherever practically possible. While we cannot eliminate emissions entirely, we actively work to reduce our environmental impact through operational efficiency measures.
- Route optimisation to reduce unnecessary kilometres driven
- Load consolidation to maximise vehicle utilisation and reduce empty running
- Modern fleet with engines meeting current emission standards
- Regular vehicle maintenance to ensure optimal fuel efficiency
- Driver training in fuel-efficient driving techniques
- Waste reduction and recycling at our depot facilities
Community
F&T Freight is a local business employing local people. Our drivers, operations staff, and management team live in the communities we serve. We are invested in the success of Queensland businesses because their success is directly connected to our own. When our clients grow, we grow alongside them.
We believe in supporting the local economy by employing locally, purchasing from local suppliers where possible, and contributing positively to the Kingston and Logan communities in which we operate.
