    It’s more the fact that you need to double handle containers, at the destination city, to get them on to a truck to the final destination. Which impacts the viability for shorter routes.

    Melbourne / Sydney to Perth Freight is about 90% by rail or sea. Mainly because the longer distances make up for the extra costs incurred with double handling.
