Two bases. One country.
Mackay and Rockhampton are where the eight utes sleep. They are not the limit of where they go — the regular runs reach the Carmichael mine and Rolleston out west and the Ravenswood gold mine near Townsville. If a load needs to cross the state or the country, it goes direct and it does not change hands.

Why direct matters more the further it goes
On a short run, a network courier costs you a few hours. On a long one it can cost you a week. Every extra depot is another sort, another scheduled departure and another chance for a pallet to be set aside.
A dedicated run has none of those. The load is picked up, it is driven, and it is delivered. The same person who collected it is the person who hands it over, so there is one number to ring if you want to know where it is.
Distance does not change what the ute can take: 1,000 kg on a 2.4 m × 1.8 m deck, and within reason pretty much anything that fits it. Nor does it change the cover — goods in transit runs to $500,000 per load on a run to Ravenswood exactly as it does on a run across Paget.
Long distance work is quoted per job. Ring with the pickup, the destination and roughly what it weighs, and you will get a number straight away, at any hour.
