Our story
Built in SA, Trusted Across Australia
Reliable Haulage started with a single truck and a simple idea: freight customers deserve straight answers, fair prices, and drivers who actually turn up on time. Founder Ron & Bec Bowman ran there first pallet run from the Barossa to Adelaide in 2008 and hasn't looked back.
Today we operate a modern fleet across Adelaide metro, the Barossa, Fleurieu Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula, and the Riverland. Every driver is employed directly — no subcontractors, no surprises.
We built online booking because our customers asked for it. No phone tag, no quote forms that disappear into inboxes. Just pick your route, get your price, and book — in under two minutes.

Employed drivers only
Every driver on our fleet is a direct employee — not a subcontractor. That means consistent standards, accountability, and drivers who care about the job.

Every vehicle is live-tracked. Log in to your customer portal to see exactly where your freight is, any time.
Transparent pricing
Our online calculator shows your price before you book — no hidden fuel levies, no surprise invoices. What you see is what you pay.
Tail-lift equipped
Most of our fleet carries tail-lift capability. No loading dock? No problem — just tick the option when you book.
Proof of delivery
Digital POD with photo confirmation sent automatically on every delivery. Your records are always up to date — no chasing drivers for paperwork.
Local knowledge
We've been running SA roads for 16 years. We know the back roads, the seasonal closures, and the best way to get freight to remote communities.
