Fast inter-island freight.
Daily departures.
Priority movement.
When your freight is time-critical, you need more than a transport provider. You need a network built around speed, reliability and certainty.
Booth’s Bullet Service is our overnight linehaul solution, designed to move freight between the North and South Islands as quickly as possible while maintaining dependable transit times across New Zealand.
Operating weekdays between Auckland, Palmerston North and Christchurch, our dedicated Bullet Service gives businesses confidence that urgent freight will keep moving – even when conditions are challenging.
Designed to move freight across the Cook Strait as quickly and efficiently as possible.
This dedicated service departs daily and delivers freight to the destination branch in under 24 hours.
Built around speed
The Bullet Service isn’t simply another linehaul run.
It’s a dedicated freight circuit designed to minimise delays and maximise momentum through our nationwide network.
Freight is collected throughout the day, transferred onto dedicated overnight services and moved directly between our major hubs before seamlessly connecting into our nationwide delivery network.
This means less handling, reduced dwell time and faster delivery to customers throughout New Zealand.
Priority movement across NZ
The Bullet Service forms the backbone of our premium inter-island network.
From our dedicated Bullet lanes, freight is immediately connected into Booths’ nationwide transport network, allowing fast onward delivery to regional centres throughout New Zealand.
Our goal is simple: to deliver freight to all main centres within 48 hours of collection. In many cases, freight collected in Auckland on Monday is delivered to customers in Christchurch by Wednesday, and sometimes even further afield, providing a fast, dependable solution for time-sensitive freight across New Zealand.
Designed for time-critical freight
Some freight simply can’t wait. The Bullet Service is ideal for:
- Manufacturing replenishment
- Wholesale and distribution
- Retail stock transfers
- Urgent customer deliveries
- Project-critical freight
- Production components
- Time-sensitive consignments
- Inter-island freight requiring dependable transit times
If your business depends on reliable delivery schedules, the Bullet Service helps keep your operations moving.
The backbone of our nationwide network
Moving freight across New Zealand isn’t always straightforward.
Weather events, ferry disruptions, road closures and unforeseen network challenges can all impact transit times. That’s why our operations team actively manages the Bullet Service every day.
When disruptions occur, we don’t simply wait for conditions to improve. We introduce additional linehaul units, adjust schedules, reroute freight where appropriate and leverage the flexibility of our nationwide network to minimise delays wherever possible.
It’s this proactive approach that allows the Bullet Service to continue performing when many networks are under pressure.
