What is backloading?

A truck with spare room, going where you're going.

Our trucks are regularly on the road between Port Macquarie and the major centres up and down the coast. Once a truck has its main job booked, there's often space left over. Backloading fills that space with your load, so you're not paying to move a whole truck for a few rooms of furniture.

Your items are wrapped, loaded and secured by the same Easy Choice team that handles our full home moves. The only real difference is timing. Because you're sharing the trip, you'll get a pickup and delivery window rather than a single fixed date.

Pay only for the volume your items take up
Ideal for smaller loads, part loads and flexible dates
Same blankets, straps and care as a full removal

How backloading works

Four simple steps from first call to delivery.

Tell us your route and items

Let us know where you're moving from and to, and roughly what's going. A quick list is all we need to get started.

We match you to a truck

We find a run that's already heading your way and has room for your load, then send you a quote.

Confirm your pickup window

We agree a pickup and delivery window with you. We'll keep you posted as the run gets closer.

We load, carry and deliver

Our team wraps, loads and secures your items, then delivers them to your new place on the way through.

Backloading or your own truck?

Both get your things there safely. The right choice comes down to how much you're moving and how fixed your dates are.

	Backloading	Dedicated truck
Cost	Lower. You pay for the space your items use, not the whole trip.	Higher. The truck and crew are yours for the job.
Timing	A pickup and delivery window that fits around the truck's run.	Your chosen date, start to finish.
Best for	Smaller loads, part loads, single items and flexible schedules.	Full homes, fixed settlement dates and tight timeframes.
Care and handling	Same team, blankets and straps as a full removal.	Same team, blankets and straps.

Not sure which is better value for your move? Ask us. We'll tell you honestly which option works out cheaper.

Is backloading right for you?

It suits a lot of moves, but not every one. Here's a quick guide.

✓A great fit if you're

Moving a unit, apartment or a few rooms of furniture
Sending a handful of items to family or a new place
Downsizing, or moving for study or work
Moving business stock, displays or equipment
Bringing items out of storage to a new town
Happy to work with a pickup window rather than a set day

→A dedicated truck may suit better if

You need everything moved on one exact date, like settlement day
You're moving a full family home that fills most of a truck
You need your items delivered the same day they're picked up
Your timeframe is tight and there's no room to move

Get the most out of backloading

A little prep goes a long way, both for your price and for a smooth handover.

Give us an accurate list

Your price is based on the space your items take up, so the more accurate your list, the more accurate your quote.

Box and label everything

Packed, sealed and clearly labelled boxes load faster and travel better. Need a hand? We offer packing services too.

Keep your dates flexible

The wider your window, the easier it is to match you to a truck heading your way, and the better your chances of a good price.

Measure the big pieces

Fridges, couches, wardrobes and bed bases take the most room. Rough measurements help us plan the space properly.

Ask early

Space on popular routes fills up. Getting in touch early gives you the most options for dates.

Consider transit insurance

For extra peace of mind on longer trips, ask us about transit insurance when you book.

Backloading FAQs

What is backloading and how does it work?

Backloading means sharing space on a truck that's already scheduled to travel your route. You pay only for the volume your items take up, which usually works out much cheaper than booking a whole truck.

How is the price worked out?

Backloading is priced on the space your items take up in the truck, along with your route. The more detail you give us about what's moving, the more accurate your quote will be.

How long will it take for my items to arrive?

It depends on your route and the other stops on that run. When we quote, we'll give you a pickup window and an expected delivery window so you can plan around it, and we'll keep you updated as the run gets closer.

Can I choose an exact pickup date?

Backloading works best with some flexibility, since your items travel on a run that's already planned. If you need one exact date, a dedicated truck is usually the better option, and we're happy to quote both so you can compare.

Is backloading safe for furniture and fragile items?

Yes. The same care, protective blankets, straps and insurance options that apply to full removals apply to backloading jobs as well. Your items are loaded and secured by our own team.

What if my new place isn't ready when the truck arrives?

We can store your items in our secure Port Macquarie storage until you're ready. Free storage options are available with any move, so just let us know when you book.

Do I need to pack everything myself?

You're welcome to, and packed, labelled boxes help keep the cost down. If you'd rather not, our team offers full packing and unpacking services.

Can I use backloading for commercial freight?

Yes. Businesses use backloading regularly for moving stock, displays, equipment and commercial goods. It's an efficient and cost-effective option for loads that don't need a full truck.
