Who covers Team Global Express workers — award or agreement?
Team Global Express is the former Toll Global Express business, now owned by Allegro Funds, running parcel, freight, IPEC road express and Priority air freight networks across the country. Drivers, dock hands, sorters, forklift operators and depot staff make up the workforce, alongside a large owner-driver contractor fleet.
Team Global Express inherited and renegotiated the Toll agreements (below). The federal awards underneath are the Road Transport and Distribution Award 2020 and the Storage Services and Wholesale Award 2020, both tabled below; owner-drivers are contractors and sit outside them.
The federal awards relevant to Team Global Express roles:
- Road Transport and Distribution Award 2020 (MA000038)
- Storage Services and Wholesale Award 2020 (MA000084)

We don't reproduce agreement dollar figures here — the agreement covering your site, state and stream is the document to read. Find your agreement, then your classification, then your pay point, and compare it with your payslip. The award tables on this page are the floor every one of these agreements must beat.
Transport pay issues worth checking on any payslip
General award-compliance issues that come up across the transport sector. This is a checklist for your own payslip, not a finding about Team Global Express:
- Driving a bigger combination than your grade pays for — the grade follows the vehicle you're required to drive.
- Unpaid loading, waiting and pre-start time.
- Overtime and night loadings absorbed into a flat rate that doesn't beat the award for the roster.
- Contractor arrangements that look like employment — owner-drivers who are really employees.
What to do if your pay looks wrong
Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you? Ask our AI advisor with your role and location.
