Freight

What Freight does

Freight is an Australian freight forwarding and logistics company operated under two co-named proprietary limited entities, JFTM Pty Ltd and Worldwide Freight Pty Ltd, headquartered at a mailing address in Malaga, Western Australia. The business operates as an intermediary broker, arranging freight transportation for customers across three service tiers: local metropolitan distribution, national and intrastate delivery (including next-flight air, overnight air, express road freight, heavyweight road freight, and dedicated or specialized transport to remote sites such as mines), and international freight forwarding (document delivery, express parcels, air cargo, sea freight in both FCL and LCL configurations, plus customs brokerage). Underlying capability is delivered through a network of independent agents, business partners, and sub-contractors providing access to over 8,000 transportation services spanning air, road, rail, and sea, with affiliated customs brokers clearing cargo at airports and seaports globally.

No proprietary technology stack is disclosed; the company runs on standard freight forwarding industry practice for shipment coordination and customs brokerage. Customer-facing digital touchpoints are limited to a website with online quote estimation forms and a volumetric weight calculator, supplemented by carrier tracking links to FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Toll Group. There is no mobile application, API offering, or disclosed automation beyond these basic tools.

The revenue model is transaction-fee based, earned on freight arrangements, customs brokerage, and document delivery. Go-to-market is sales-led, primarily through direct phone contact (08 9249 9933 and 1300 666 988) and online quote forms. Customer acquisition signals indicate a horizontal segmentation approach across local, national, and international shippers, with no disclosed anchor enterprise customers, pricing transparency, or published rate cards. The company is privately held with no external investment, acquisitions, or leadership changes indicated in the available data.

• Northline: Australian national road freight and logistics provider with strong regional and remote-area capability including mine site deliveries. Highly comparable to Freight's national/intrastate and specialised transport offering.
• StarTrack (Australia Post): Australian domestic parcel, freight, and logistics carrier with national reach and business courier services. A direct competitor for parcel and national road freight volumes.
