Geraldton Transport

Geraldton Transport has been operating since the early 1920s, when it was started by Alfred McConkey. The business was later taken over by Tom Whitehead, and in the early 1980s it was run by Tom Whitehead's grandson John. Geraldton Transport formed Country Carriers with three other businesses around the state. The fleet consists of 6 vans and 4 trucks, and includes 2.5T – 7T forklifts and a 2.5T Manitou.

Geraldton Transport runs a general freight service to and from Perth 5 nights a week. The service area includes Geraldton, Dongara, Northampton, Kalbarri, Mingenew, Mullewa, Perenjori, Carnamah, Three Springs, and Morawa. Services include general freight to and from Perth and beyond, wool farm pick up and Perth stores delivery, local delivery and forklift hire, and acting as agents for interstate shipping.

Geraldton Transport, based in the Webberton district, handles transport and logistics work that customers repeatedly describe as accommodating and efficient. Several reviewers mention last-minute or overnight runs between Perth and Geraldton, including a caravan part collected in Perth and delivered north the following day, removal cartons sorted over the phone, and goods brought up from Yalgoo with forklifts ready on arrival. A point made in several accounts is the helpfulness of the staff, with Catherine, Steff and Rob each singled out: Rob is thanked for taking the time to show proper tie-down methods, while Catherine and the wider team are praised for customer service that reviewers call professional.

Communication before and after jobs is another recurring theme, from a parcel collection arranged after an international purchase to a customer contacted directly about pick-up. Reviewers also note that phone enquiries are resolved quickly, that forklift loading keeps jobs moving, and that requests are met even shortly after closing time. Pricing is described as fair for the distance covered, and the same names and themes surface across both household deliveries and commercial freight, with customers returning for IKEA orders and other Perth-to-Geraldton consignments.
