Book Auz Country Carriers through Senditt.

Auz Country Carriers was set up in 1998 and is run by two directors. Its Melbourne branch is in Dandenong South, its Gippsland branch is in Morwell, and it has a depot at Bairnsdale. Its Melbourne freight page names secured warehouses at Dandenong South, Morwell and Bairnsdale.

Most of its customers are in Gippsland, which is why it built a regular Melbourne to Gippsland run. Its service map covers Melbourne's suburbs and towns such as Pakenham, Warragul, Moe, Traralgon, Leongatha, Phillip Island, Frankston, Mornington, Rosebud and Lakes Entrance, and its home page now names Geelong as well.

Auz Country runs what it calls an on-forwarding model. Consignments from Gippsland are gathered at the Melbourne depot and sent on Australia-wide through larger national carriers, giving the region a national link in and out. Outside its own zones it arranges delivery through other carriers it works with.

• Groupage and consolidated freight, plus part and full truck loads.
• Pallets, skids, cartons, bundles and crates, including building equipment and timber.
• Small van loads as well as truck work.

Dangerous goods must be declared, with all the paperwork handed to the driver, and Auz Country can refuse a pickup or delivery that would put its driver at risk. The building and construction trades are its focus, alongside steel and engineering, flooring, roofing, farming and retail businesses, mostly small and medium sized.

Every Auz Country vehicle carries a live GPS tracker, and its dispatch room stays in two-way contact with drivers. Proof of delivery goes into its track and trace system as soon as it is available. Each booking made with Auz Country directly returns a shipment ID and a tracking number, and its site links to a web portal for tracking and bookings.

When you book Auz Country Carriers through Senditt, the consignment is tracked in Senditt's dashboard with your other carriers, so a Gippsland pallet and an interstate parcel sit in the same list.

Auz Country's own quote form asks for the pickup and delivery suburbs, whether each is a commercial address, how often the freight moves, and the packaging, weight and dimensions of each item. Its booking form adds pickup and delivery contacts, trading hours and an item count by type, and it publishes pickup cut-off times by suburb. On Senditt, the pickup, delivery and item details go into one quote that lists Auz Country Carriers beside other carriers.
