Hobart to Melbourne — 9am cutoff air freight
Hobart to Melbourne same-day requires an early 9am Hobart pickup. The driver needs to collect and deliver to Hobart Airport (HBA) at Cambridge before the freight cut for the morning Melbourne flight. Hobart CBD to the airport is 25 minutes via the Tasman Highway — a 8:30am CBD pickup is the safe outer limit for a 9am freight lodgement.
The 9am cutoff is earlier than Melbourne's 10am cutoff for the same route because the Hobart-side freight processing window is tighter. Both cities observe AEDT/AEST — same time zone year-round.
