Melbourne-Adelaide Linehaul Contract + Prime Mover

Melbourne-Adelaide express linehaul contract with a near-new prime mover. This is an excellent run on a well-maintained highway corridor with consistent freight volumes.

Route Overview:
- Melbourne to Adelaide: approximately 730km, 8-hour drive
- Depart Melbourne depot 6pm, arrive Adelaide by 2am
- Return leg following evening
- 5-night roster, 2 nights off
- Trailer supplied by the carrier (no trailer ownership required)

Key Advantage - Carrier-Supplied Trailer:
Unlike most linehaul contracts, the carrier provides the trailer for this run. This significantly reduces your capital outlay and eliminates trailer maintenance, registration and insurance costs from your expenses.

Equipment Included:
- 2022 Scania R620 prime mover (approximately 380,000km - still relatively new)
- Full Scania dealer service history
- Extended Scania warranty until 2027
- All compliance systems installed

Financial Performance:
- Weekly gross: $7,800
- Fuel: approximately $2,500/week (shorter run = less fuel than east coast)
- Insurance (prime mover only, no trailer): approximately $320/week
- Maintenance/service: approximately $350/week (Scania warranty covers major items)
- Rego/permits: approximately $90/week
- Net weekly profit: approximately $4,540
- Annual net: approximately $236,000

The Melbourne-Adelaide corridor is a reliable freight route servicing South Australia's supply chain. Express freight (next-day delivery) commands premium rates.

Reason for Sale: Owner has health issues preventing continued driving. Willing to assist with extended handover.

The near-new Scania with warranty coverage makes this a lower-risk purchase. Carrier relationship is strong - 4 years running this contract with excellent performance record.
