Send with Allied Express through Senditt.

Allied Express has handled local and national freight since 1978 and is a Freightways business. It is headquartered in Sydney and keeps offices in each major mainland capital. Its local same day courier and taxi truck work is carried under the Allied Express Transport name, while overnight freight runs as Allied Overnight Express.

Allied lists five depots: 3 Murray Jones Drive, Bankstown Aerodrome in New South Wales; 2 William Barak Blvd, Broadmeadows in Victoria; 570 Transition Drive, Archerfield in Queensland; 2/7 Brandwood Street, Royal Park in South Australia; and 881 Abernethy Rd, Forrestfield in Western Australia. Past the capitals it relies on about 50 regional agents, and it says it delivers to every postcode in the country.

The courier side is coordinated from staffed control rooms in the major capitals, and the fleet stretches from inner city bicycles up to linehaul vehicles. Economy is its economical level, with delivery times that depend on the driver's load. Express VIP is flagged at a higher priority, Express Executive is watched by a customer service supervisor, and Express Gold is overseen by the Operations Manager. A bicycle courier is also offered for urgent deliveries within the city only.

The Taxi Truck Service takes heavy or oversized one-off loads, and Allied offers its own customers taxi trucks to supplement their fleet when a truck is off the road or work runs higher than usual. Taxi trucks are dispatched by control room staff based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, and on its own Express Executive taxi truck jobs Allied gives the sender the receiver's identity as confirmation.

For freight between states, National Distribution Services pass courier and taxi truck pickups onto Allied's interstate linehaul and back to local vehicles for the delivery. Contractors run vans and utes around the cities and linehaul trucks on the long runs, and large automated sortation systems process freight inside its depots. Allied also arranges Local Distribution Services directly with its own customers, and can place an Allied supervisor in their warehouse to manage despatch.

Allied's jobs range from a small consignment across town to several pallets going interstate, and it suggests satchels for small goods and documents. Pallets need to be stacked evenly and held with shrink wrap, strapping or banding. Its restricted list for Allied Overnight Express rules out items such as firearms, livestock, perishables, paint and liquids, and anything longer than 2.4 metres even in a crate. Goods such as wine or spirits, tiles, tyres, glass, surfboards and kayaks, and pallets larger than 1.2 by 1.2 by 2.1 metres, need written authorisation from its GM of Operations.

On its own site, Allied's track and trace form takes a consignment or reference number with the destination postcode. Courier and taxi truck drivers log the pickup time, the drop and the receiver's name on an onboard terminal, and Allied can give its own customers the suburb a job is in while it moves, through GPS. Overnight freight is scanned at each site, and Allied's own account holders sign in to see the scans, proof of delivery and a copy of each consignment note.

When Allied Express is booked through Senditt, those consignments sit in your Senditt dashboard with every other carrier you send with.
