Bakery overnight delivery
Bread has one window. We run to it.
A loaf baked tonight has to be on the shelf before the doors open tomorrow. Miss that window and the order is worthless. JB Parttime has been running overnight bread delivery for Victorian bakeries since 2008, and every part of the job is built around making that window, every night.
We collect from your bakery as the ovens finish, run through the night while the roads are clear, and drop at your stores, cafes and distribution points ahead of the morning trade. Chilled lines can go out on the same run in one of our refrigerated bodies.
Runs leave from our bases in Hillside, in Melbourne’s north west, and Colac, in the west. Metro routes and long regional legs out to Warrnambool, Shepparton or Casterton both start close to the work.

What you need from a carrier
Six things a bakery contract can’t do without.
Price matters, but a bread run is won and lost on the nights the truck doesn’t turn up. This is how we cover each of them.

Since 2008
A truck at the dock, every night
Bread can’t wait for tomorrow’s run. We’ve worked the overnight bakery shift since 2008, and the whole operation is set up around turning up.

Bakery delivery questions
Before you book a run.
Anything not covered here, call us on 0468 772 402.
How does overnight bakery delivery work?
We collect from your bakery as the ovens finish, run through the night while the roads are clear, and drop at your stores, cafes or distribution points ahead of the morning trade. Pickup is set around your bake schedule.
Can chilled products travel on the same run?
Yes. 12 of our 25 vehicles carry refrigerated bodies, so cream-filled lines, dairy and fresh fillings can go out with the bread and stay cold the whole way.
Do you deliver bread to regional Victoria?
Yes. We run bakery deliveries right across Victoria from three bases, Hillside in Melbourne’s north west, Colac in the west and Albury on the NSW border, covering Mornington, Geelong, Warrnambool, Casterton, Shepparton and everywhere in between.
Is the product insured in transit?
Yes. Every load is covered by goods in transit and marine cargo insurance, and our drivers are covered by WorkCover.
Do you take short-term or one-off bakery jobs?
Most bakery work is regular scheduled runs, but one-off jobs are taken on too. Call us on 0468 772 402 to check the dates.
How is a bakery delivery run priced?
Every run is quoted on its own: the pickup point, the number of drops, the distance, how many nights a week, and whether it needs refrigeration. Send the quote form below or call us on 0468 772 402.
