TNT Service Update – Queensland Flood Disaster
Wednesday, 12 January 2011

TNT’s operations in south east Queensland continue to be severely affected by the ongoing flood disaster with service interruptions expected throughout the State.

Brisbane Operations
Currently, TNT anticipates that all Brisbane operations for our Road, Priority and Sameday services will cease by midday. After this time, any undelivered freight will be held until delivery is possible and all outstanding pick-ups will be rescheduled.

National Road Freight Collections
Going forward, road freight pick-ups inbound to Queensland from all destinations except Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory will be suspended. Whilst TNT will continue to take your bookings, physical pick-up times will not be guaranteed and we will update you regularly as to expected pick-up times.

National Priority and Sameday Collections
Whilst road networks continue to be severely affected in the south east Queensland and northern New South Wales region, TNT’s Priority and Sameday networks continue uninterrupted except for in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Toowoomba and surrounding areas where we currently have limited pick-up and delivery capabilities.

If you have urgent freight bound for Queensland we encourage you to send it through our Priority or Sameday networks to ensure delays are minimised.

Please note, TNT continues to monitor our operational capabilities on a regular basis. We are making every effort to ensure our networks are re-established as rapidly as possible and we apologise for the ongoing disruption. With the situation worsening, TNT’s thoughts remain with the people of Queensland.
