What Makes Allied Express An Attractive Option For Businesses?
Franchisees can position Allied Express as a flexible option for customers with freight that’s heavier, bulkier or more irregular than standard parcel carriers can easily handle — while still covering everyday parcel and pallet freight needs.

With more than 40 years in the Australian market and the backing of Freightways, Allied Express is a strong choice for business customers who need a courier and freight carrier that can flex beyond standard parcel delivery.
