Toll Domestic Forwarding (TDF) is a division of the Toll Group specialising in freight forwarding by road, rail and sea within and between Australia and New Zealand.

Toll is Australia’s largest mover of freight.^[2]

Toll New Zealand is New Zealand’s largest freight mover.^[2] In March 2012, Toll New Zealand reported they moved more than 2.9 million consignments and in excess of 4.2 million tonnes of freight per annum.^[3] They also reported they served more than 4,000 customers.^[3]

The Toll Domestic Forwarding division apparently disappeared in a restructuring in 2017.^{[citation needed]}

Services

Toll Domestic Forwarding offers full and part container and truck load freight transport services including: road freight forwarding; rail freight forwarding; coastal shipping; multimodal forwarding; temperature controlled freight forwarding; cross-docking; warehouse and storage services (such as bonded warehousing and temperature controlled storage); and vehicle transportation.

Fleet

Toll Intermodal has extensive domestic freight forwarding coverage in Australia, providing end-to-end multimodal road, rail and sea service. Toll Intermodal is part of the Bowmans Rail joint venture that operates Australia’s largest inland container terminal at Bowmans, South Australia.

Toll New Zealand is New Zealand's largest transport and logistics company, offering a range of services including nationwide rail, road and sea multimodal transport services, complete logistics services, vehicle transportation, and office and household relocations.^[3] The company started in 2003 when Toll Holdings purchased an 85% stake in Tranz Rail. Toll New Zealand operates a fleet of more than 950 owner driver and company owned vehicles ranging from small courier vans to heavy 50 tonne truck rigs.^[3] When transporting vehicles Toll New Zealand uses specially-constructed, fully enclosed rail wagons. Toll Shipping operates roll on / roll off vessels on Bass Strait, offering two-way shipping services between Tasmania and mainland Australia six days a week. Toll Shipping has two dedicated terminals one at Webb Dock in Melbourne and the other at McGaw Wharf in Burnie. Toll Tasmania is the largest freight forwarder to and from Tasmania specialising in palletised and bulk transport. Toll moves the equivalent of 150,000, (20 foot long) containers and approximately 10,000 cars across Bass Strait each year.^[4]

In 2013 Toll purchased the Trans-Bass freight forwarding service from Linfox.^[5]

Toll Express is Australia’s largest express pallet carrier^[6] and focuses on time-sensitive part load and pallet movements.

Toll NQX focuses on the mining, metal and resources sectors in Queensland and the Northern Territory. In 2014 Toll NQX acquired Deeson Heavylift, a specialist heavy haulage, based at Bowen Basin in Queensland.^[7]
