After listening to feedback from our transport Providers, Truckit has developed and is now trialling 'Hidden Quotes' on the Shipping Containers category, with the possibility of expanding to other categories.
A Hidden Quote will hide the quote value and quote details (like terms, dates etc.) from all other Providers, only being visible to the Customer and the Provider who placed the quote.
We would love to hear your feedback on Hidden Quotes.
TruckIt has added bank transfer via PayID as a payment option for customers. Customers can select this option when in the checkout page accepting a quote.
In most cases the bank transfer clears within minutes and the booking is then confirmed.
By giving more choice to customers we hope to see booking rates increase even further.
In terms of getting paid for your jobs, with off-platform payments and booking deposits being phased out, we are asking that all Providers sign up for TruckIt Pay, if you have not already.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a huge increase in requests for freight on Truckit over the last 12 months. A record number of individuals and businesses are turning to online freight marketplaces such as Truckit.net to find reliable transport operators.
The increased demand for freight means customers and transport operators need to be connected with each other faster than ever before. The Truckit team has identified these trends and released a new feature called 'Job Alerts' in response.
For transport providers registered with Truckit, Job Alerts will appear as a new interface on the marketplace, found in the menu in the top right hand corner of the platform. However, the real magic of Job Alerts is going on behind the scenes, using our smart freight matching algorithm.
Our freight matching algorithm analyses details of every freight request on the marketplace as well as the characteristics of each transport provider. Instant recommendations are then made as to which providers are best suited to carry out each job.
The Job Alerts interface will display a real time list of recommended jobs to every provider. The interface is designed in a way that is personalised, concise and digestible. No two providers will ever have the same list of Job Alerts. Truckit providers can also see when users are online, encouraging responsive communication and prompt acceptance of quotes.
The power of Job Alerts and the freight matching system relies on transport providers keeping their Truckit profile up to date. Critical information that providers should update in their profile includes their 'Categories Serviced', Address, Vehicle Types as well as creating Saved Searches for preferred routes. By keeping these as accurate as possible, transport providers can ensure they get more relevant Job Alerts. The freight matching algorithm then factors in providers' engagement and performance on the marketplace to come up with an overall ranking to decide who to target with what jobs.

Moving house is time-consuming and often associated with stress. But, have you thought about the stress that moving puts on the environment?
Australia’s changing climate represents a significant challenge to the environment, but moving home sustainably doesn't need to cost you the earth.
In this blog post, we're going to look at 4 tips that you can do to reduce environmental footprint during your next move.
To start fresh in your new place, make the conscious effort to declutter your items, and reduce waste by donating any unwanted items. This will save you money and will be a direct reflection of how much you need to move. Less clutter will also make it easier in setting up your new home.
Letting go of your unwanted items can help bolster a sustainable mindset, as well as, be donated to local shelters. This not only helps the environment, but also someone in need. Furthermore, if you want to sell your items online or through a garage sale, you will have some extra cash to put toward moving expenses!
2. Eco-friendly packing
After you declutter, having less items to pack means using less resources, tape, boxes and packing materials. When you begin packing, it’s crazy how many materials you need to move your items, which usually means more waste, causing higher rates of emissions.
Some eco-friendly at-home packing materials:
If you really need to use bubble wrap, try and source it second-hand!
3. Reduce your Carbon Footprint with backloads and shared loads
At Truckit, our truck drivers find the most optimal route from Point A to Point B. We care about the environment and aim to reduce the carbon footprint. To assist with this, some of our Transport Providers can offer a cheaper rate to deliver your freight on the return leg of their journey.
Alternatively, if you don't quite have a full truckload, transport providers will often move your goods in a shared load. This not only makes the trip more profitable and efficient, it ensures that unnecessary pollution is avoided.
4. Re-evaluate your Energy Provider
Moving presents an opportunity to reset and ensure your new home is as energy efficient and sustainable as possible. Before you call to transfer your current energy account, compare green energy options and current discounts. Look at installing water tanks and solar panels, and elect to receive paperless invoices and statements.
As a nation, Australia is responsible for about 1.2% of global emissions, omitting much more than our fair share. The vehicle carbon impact and waste production associated with moving house have significant environmental implications. However, taking these tips on board, you can limit that impact considerably. Move home without leaving a trail behind you!
Do you have any other eco-friendly moving tips? Let us know in the comments!

With the evolving COVID situation in Sydney and NSW, it is important for transport providers to stay updated with the latest border and travel restrictions across Australia. At the moment freight is still exempt from most border closures, as long as operators have the relevant passes/documentation and also follow any guidelines and requirements of the state they are travelling to.
Below you will find a brief summary of information relating to entering each state and territory. However, as always we recommend consulting the official government websites of the relevant state for the most complete and up to date information.
Currently no restrictions apply for people wanting to enter NSW. No permits are required. However, should you want to return back to another state/territory from NSW then you should always check the requirements of that state/territory.
Freight and Logistics Pass (F Pass)
Please complete the Freight and Logistics Pass if you have been in New South Wales after 1am 11 December 2020 and are providing essential freight and logistics transport.

The most obvious benefit of truck backloading is cost-effectiveness. Savings are typically up to 70% on transportation costs compared to hiring a truck and driver for transporting goods.
Backloading is quite simply a win-win for everyone involved. It’s a way for removal companies to optimise the use of their trucks by making them more productive, more of the time. By organising a load for their trucks’ return trip or taking additional goods on an already chartered route, the driver can increase their profit in both directions.
While it’s a win for the removal company, it’s also an excellent opportunity for you. If you arrange the transportation of your goods via a backload, you’re only liable for your portion of the trip – and that can result in some serious savings.
Truck backloading is a broad term used to describe the relocation of multiple customers’ goods in one load. It means a removalist company will either find space for your items on an already scheduled journey or that they’ll transport your belongings on a truck that is returning to its original depot after dropping off a load.
As this approach doesn’t require the hire of a privately hired truck and driver, each customer is only required to pay for the space that their belongings take up on the truck. Say your items account for 20% of the entire load in one direction; you will only pay 20% of the cost incurred in getting the truck to its destination.
The ease and cost-effectiveness of this approach means that it is dramatically increasing in popularity. There are 100’s of transport providers that have multiple trucks running between major cities, regional areas and rural towns every week, which ensures there is nearly always a truck available to complete your delivery request.
While backloading is popular for being a cheaper option than private transport, this doesn’t mean your products are treated with any less care. When you backload your goods, they will be transported by the same companies, the same drivers and in the same trucks as if you were to pay for a private charter on your own. The only difference is that your load will travel with other goods that are headed in the same direction.
Apart from saving your hard-earned dollars, load sharing via truck backloads is also your contribution towards protecting the environment. The same amount of fuel is burned by a removal truck whether it has a full load or not, so if your goods are moved on an already scheduled trip, you’re removing the need for two vehicles to undertake the same journey.
Backloading may also improve the efficiency of your transportation and reduce the time you spend waiting for a complete removal truck and driver to become available.
This approach to relocating via backloads is particularly beneficial for anyone looking to transport a small number of goods. The smaller your batch, the easier it is to find space on an already chartered truck. Having smaller items is also an opportunity for you to combine your loads with others that also have a small load, and then you can split the costs between you.
Truckit.net is a platform that connects customers looking to transport goods with truck drivers and transport providers that can carry out the job. We boast a comprehensive and detailed vetting process which ensures we only work alongside qualified and experienced drivers. These removal organisations run trucks interstate between major cities, regional towns and rural locations each week, meaning we can cater to requests from across the country.
After establishing your load job request, starting and finishing location, budget and other relevant requirements, you will receive a number of truck backloading quotes from different organisations. It’s likely these quotes will differ in price. However, we encourage responsible budgeting to ensure compliance with our exemplary safety standards. We will then present these quotes to you, allowing you to choose the provider that best suits your needs.
Once the truck backload quote is confirmed, we will manage communication between you and the driver to ensure your goods are picked up and delivered on-time and in the same condition as when they left.
While we take every step to maintain the safety of your load, we do recommend that our customers take out Truck Backload Single Transit Insurance for the move. This extra layer of security will protect you in the unlikely event of something going wrong and will give you the peace of mind that your load is protected. We can also supply sturdy moving boxes, bubble wrap and other protective measures on request.
Truckit.net is a trusted name in the backloading industry across Australia. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, incredible organisation skills and timely responses, which ensures you receive the best possible outcome. If you’re considering this moving option, our friendly team is available to answer any questions or to start the booking process. Simply get in touch with our staff through the Contact Us page of our website and we’ll get the ball rolling.
If the thought of moving your piano is stressing you out, then maybe a piano backload is worth considering. At Truckit.net, we have a network of experienced removalists and truck drivers that will ensure your piano arrives safely at its final destination.
Relocating pianos or grand pianos is a delicate process that needs careful consideration and planning, and this is particularly important when moving high value items, such as your piano. These incredibly beautiful but weighty objects are often the most overwhelming part of a move!
As a piano backload service provider, there is no need to rent an entire truck for just your piano. The beauty of our approach is that we will connect you with an already chartered load so that you only need to pay for your portion.
Piano backloading is a term used to describe the relocation of a piano on a truck that is returning empty to the town it originally came from, or in the space available on an already chartered journey.
By moving your piano via a backload, you will only pay for the area that your piano takes up on your leg of the return trip. For example, if your piano accounts for 20% of the entire load on a one-way journey, you’ll only pay 20% of the cost incurred in getting the truck to that destination.
Backloading your piano on a truck does not mean that it will receive any less care and attention than it would with a regular removal service or privately hired truck. Most providers will have all the required moving blankets and pads available, so it is always best to chat with the freight providers who have quoted on your listing if your item requires any extra padding or protection.
At truckit.net, we have a number of experienced piano removalists that can pickup and deliver your piano to its intended destination with savings of up to 70% on transport costs.
The network of providers on Truckit.net will show your piano the same care and delicate handling that they would take with their own possessions.

Truckit.net does have a vetting process to ensure a standard of quality for all providers on the distribution network.
While we direct every effort towards protecting your piano, we do encourage our clients to take out Single Transit Insurance. Truckit.net recommends for 100% guaranteed peace of mind to get Single Transit Insurance for your piano backload. Something as precious as a Grand Piano can cost tens of thousands of dollars. You are load sharing and sometimes accidents do happen on the roads. This Single Transit Insurance is an extra layer of protection for any unlikely circumstances that may arise.
If you are looking for grand piano moving experts that are able to relocate your piano locally and interstate on a backload? Then trust truckit.net to get you the best quotes around Australia to deliver your grand piano for the best rate possible.
Not many people are up for moving a piano by themselves due to the risks of damage associated with that. Grand pianos are very awkward in shape and big in size with usually extremely heavy weight so it usually requires providers with the right equipment to get the job done safely.
Truckit.net has a number of grand piano backload providers all across Australia. Submit your grand piano for relocation today to start receiving quotes.
No matter how small the distance, truckit.net will have a number of backloads coming through the area and will be able to assist with your local piano move.

You will be able to liaise back and forward with local piano removalists to get the job done to your requirements.
When you need to move your piano long distances or interstate this can push up the transport costs quite significantly, especially if you had to hire a truck to do this yourself. The benefit of truckit.net is that you can save up to 70% on piano transport costs by moving your piano on a return backload.
All of our piano backload removalists will provide you with appropriate quotes for you to choose from. We have a number of highly reputable interstate piano movers on the truckit.net platform to ensure you get a range of fair market quotes to choose from.
Piano Backloading is a great option for anyone that has some flexibility in their arrival date. Our cost-efficiencies rely on finding trucks that are already passing through your area and capitalising on the additional space they may have available for your piano.
This allows customers to save up to 70% on piano transportation costs. We understand these are highly valuable items. We have a stringent vetting process in place to make sure we only enlist the services of reputable and reliable providers.
The platform is a quick and efficient way for customers to receive a number of piano removal quotes in a short amount of time. Truckit.net saves customers time and money as the platform has signed up hundreds of top freight providers all around Australia.
It connects delivery providers with those who are looking to have their piano goods relocated either locally or interstate around Australia. After establishing your piano transportation requirements, budget, location and any other relevant information, our piano removal partners will provide quotes.
These piano relocation quotes may likely vary in price. However, we always encourage carefully considered and reasonable budgets that allow for adequate safety processes to be upheld at every stage of the process.
The customer will then be able to view their piano delivery quotes on the platform, allowing the individual to select the piano quote that best suits their requirements. Once the customer has identified a successful option, they are able to liaise back and forward with the driver to confirm the pick-up and delivery process.
Now that you have a more in-depth understanding of how the process works, we encourage you to look at our interstate backloading page. This information will give you a greater appreciation of how interstate backloading works, and the potential options available for the relocation of your piano interstate.
The average piano backloading cost is from $79per hour to $149per hour on average across all states in Australia. The total cost of backloading a piano is dependent on your starting and finishing location, handling requirements, timeframe and its size.
It isn't easy to provide a cost range that covers all cases, as every situation is different from the last. While there is great variety in costs, piano backloads typically achieve substantial cost savings when compared to a typical removal company. These savings can be up to 70% in some cases!
The average piano interstate backloading costs from $79per hour to $149per hour on average across all states in Australia. Just like every piano backloading project is different, so too is every interstate journey.
As numerous loads are often combined into a single backload, the Truckit.net providers will ensure your piano is clearly labelled and that you are provided with a detailed inventory of your belongings on-board the truck.
These precautionary steps are designed to ensure that your belongings are not mixed up with anyone else’s items on the same vehicle and that the correct delivery is made to your designated address. As Truckit.net is always striving to improve and develop its service, we are currently working on advanced tracking methods that will be implemented in the coming months, all news of this will be released via our blog.
It’s a common misperception that backloading is undermining the transport industry, and that drivers are being undercut for work. Despite this belief, backloading is an approach that provides numerous benefits to both the driver and the customer.
Truckit.net is a trusted name when it comes to helping Australian families and businesses moving interstate across Australia. Our network of backloading services around Australia aim to provide customers with a fair price, without compromising on the quality and integrity whilst moving your items. We put customers wanting to move goods, furniture and other belongings from QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, NT, ACT & WA, in touch with our freight providers that can do the job.
One of the biggest struggles of moving interstate is the transportation of your possessions. It’s hard enough to pack up an entire home, office or storage unit, let alone ensure everything gets to the other end in one piece. And just as everyone’s moving journey looks different, so too will every relocation. This is where interstate backloading comes in handy.
Think of a backload as your share in a full removal service. Hiring an entire removal truck means it would only have your goods on it. At Truckit.net, we capitalise on the return journeys or vacant space on currently charted trucks, which means you only need to pay for your share of the interstate delivery. If you fill 20% of the area, then you only pay 20% of its cost to get the truck to the final destination.
The beauty of this approach is that we can cater to any size move, whether it’s one item or an entire house. We’ll stack the truck and ensure we maximise the available space, which keeps the interstate transportation costs down for individual customers. On our interstate return trips, we then rely on new customers looking to transport goods across borders in the opposite direction, rather than requiring the original customers to pay for the second leg of the interstate journey.
Whether it’s a residential or commercial interstate relocation, moving interstate can be a timely, extremely costly and often delayed process. At Truckit.net, we pride ourselves on our incredibly fast turnarounds and timely responses from our network providers.
With a network of 100’s of transportation providers and 1000’s of regular routes across states it means we run frequent services to rural locations and major cities throughout the week. This ensures there is nearly always a truck available to transport your goods. Depending on your starting and finishing location, we aim to provide the quickest home delivery service in Australia.
Anywhere from 1 to 7 days is required logistically we have 100s of trucks moving across Australia at any minute of the day. If you are looking to relocate a large number of goods this will reduce the amount of available trucks to complete your interstate delivery.
You may have to wait longer however the platform allows you to specify how urgent the timeframe of your interstate backload is. Providers will then give you quotes and availability based on your specified transportation requirements.
The cost of interstate backloading is on average from $550 to $17,000 on truckit.net. It is important to note that costs can vary depending on the distance, load size, route and the pick-up/delivery requirements.
While the price can vary significantly, backloading is considerably cheaper than the average cost of transporting goods or relocating interstate. In some cases, this approach can lead to savings of up to 70%.. While there are no minimum budget requirements for interstate backloading, Truckit.net does encourage responsible and considered transport budgets. Having an adequate budget enables providers to abide by the required transport safety and road practices.
Truckit.net connects people around Australia looking to transport goods with transit providers that can carry out the work.
Whether it’s a single item or an entire home, our truckit.net platform will list your job for our providers and they will provide a range of different quotes for the interstate job. This ensures the customer has full transparency and flexibility in the decision-making process. Working in conjunction with 100s of trucks and drivers across the country also means we can find the most affordable option and cater to any last-minute requests.
The nature of a backload means that we can cater to moves of any size or description. As we capitalize on the return journeys of trucks interstate or the available space on currently chartered trucks, we can work around your requirements. This flexibility means you can backload almost anything interstate that fits on a truck and is legally allowed by law. Please be aware that you cannot transport dangerous, hazardous materials or illegal goods using truckit.net services.
Interstate and long-haul moves can be an exciting time for a new beginning. However, when it comes to moving that household of furniture it can be stressful, time-consuming and expensive. Relocating furniture is best when it is left to someone else. That is where a furniture backload comes in.
At Truckit.net, our primary goal is to ensure moving is a cost-effective and straightforward process for everyone. Our solution? Backloading your furniture. This approach is a fantastic way to relocate goods, possessions or new purchases from one place to another interstate or locally, without causing a headache or breaking the bank.
Our job is to put customers looking to relocate goods interstate or locally in touch with transport providers that can provide furniture backloads, which means there is no extra research required by our customers with 100s of providers quoting in one place.
One of our most commonly requested jobs is for the backloading of furniture. Whether it is a new purchase, a residential relocation interstate or locally, a shop fit-out or a work transfer, our team of logistical operators will help you get from A to B.
This is the process of moving furniture interstate or locally utilising the extra space on the back of a truck on a return journey. Backloading is the cheapest and easiest way to move goods from one place to another as it removes the need to hire an entire truck.
Instead, your items are loaded onto a vehicle that will pass your destination on its return leg. If you’ve only got a few pieces of furniture, it’s relatively easy to find a truck with available space. If you’ve got a large supply of items, you can split these across multiple trips or wait until a truck presents with enough vacancy to cater to your load.
The beauty of this approach is that you only pay for the portion of space that you occupy on the vehicle. If your furniture takes up 20% of the truck, you’ll be liable for 20% of the cost incurred in getting to your destination.
Truck drivers are also always keen to make the most of their journeys, which means you can often secure space on the return section of a round trip. The frequency of trips between major cities and regional or rural areas means there is nearly always a driver that can pick up and drop off your load.
Furniture backloading is as flexible as it is handy. As when you create a listing on truckit.net for your furniture transport requirements, the platform notifies all our platform providers with your job details. This ensures you will only get transport providers that have capacity to manage your exact load requirements.
The customised nature of this approach means you can backload furniture of all different shapes and sizes. If you have a whole house of furniture to move, it may take slightly longer to find a truck with enough space.
However, the frequency of trips undertaken by our drivers means we can find space for smaller loads of furniture or singular items on quite short notice. While the most common furniture requests are for residential or office relocations, we can also assist with the delivery of new furniture purchases.
Truckit.net is a platform that connects customers wanting to relocate their furniture interstate or locally with drivers that can carry out the job. We have a network of hundreds of drivers across the country at any minute, which ensures that we can find a suitable operator to meet the needs of every customer.
After creating your account listing for your furniture backload, you will have to provide details like: set budget, required timeframe, size, number of items, pictures of the items and other relevant requirements. Truckit.net will notify all the providers on the platform of your job, you will be provided with multiple furniture backload quotes from different operators that are available for the job. The customer is then provided with all the quotes, allowing them to choose the provider that best suits their needs.
The customer can then liaise with the driver to discuss any special requirements or things the driver should be aware of, especially things like how to enter the property. This way you ensure your furniture is safely and securely picked up and delivered to your requirements.
The best part about truckit.net is that you only need 1 - 7 days in most cases. We have so many trucks on the road that our turnaround times are quite high for furniture backloads. Our providers will provide you with a range of furniture backload quotes that are within your given timeframe and the customer can choose the most suitable. Naturally if you are wanting to relocate furniture interstate using a backload, this is possible however, it can take longer to find space for a full house, but this can easily be spread across multiple trucks.
We understand that some projects can arise at the last minute. The nature of this approach also means there is the potential of last-minute spaces opening up on other people’s trucks, which ensures we can provide an efficient and timely solution. This notice also takes into account any unavoidable delays or challenges.
Truckit.net has a network of interstate backloading removalists in major cities, regional towns and rural areas. Many of our operators run daily services between the country’s capital cities, as well as regular routes to less commonly visited locations.
The expansive nature of our network means we can cater to requests in just about every corner of Australia, as well as meet the requirements of moves on short notice. We encourage you to post your listing now and list it as “Urgently” for the timeframe field.
Truckit.net has a set criteria for approved truck drivers and operators. We encourage every operator to comply with the highest standard of safety regulations. The result of our thorough approach is that we have built a network of removalists that treat your furniture as if it were their own.
Comprehensive packing regulations ensure the items are loaded in a fashion that will ensure their safety for the entire journey, and any handling of the furniture must comply with strict regulations too.
While we pride ourselves on our stringent safety policies, Truckit.net recommends the use of Single Transit Insurance for Furniture Backloads. It must be noted though we can’t control the actions of every driver on the road so accidents do happen. This single journey policy will give you an added layer of protection in the unlikely event of something going wrong, and is a great way to give yourself extra peace of mind.
Freight backload transport is the process of moving commodities and goods. Unlike other removal projects, freight shipping typically refers to transportation for commercial or industrial purposes. For this reason, it often means the shipment of a large supply of products that are set to be on-sold, repurposed or used as part of another project.
Many businesses and other organisations rely on freight for their daily operations, so it’s essential that goods arrive on time, safely and in a cost-effective manner. However, the traditional method of private delivery services is not always a reliable option, as individuals can experience high transport costs for private vehicles. It can also be very frustrating to hire an entire truck when the load does not use the whole space.
The solution to these concerns is freight backloading. It’s a simple, cost-effective and reliable option for the transportation of goods, and it results in a win-win for everyone involved.
Backloading is a service that allows you to transport goods on an empty truck that is returning from a trip or an already chartered truck that has space available for additional items. The beauty of this approach is the vehicle is already undertaking the journey, which means the driver has already received compensation to get to the destination. With half of the route already paid for, you’re only liable for your section of the journey. If you then combine your load with loads from other customers, you can further split the costs to ensure that you’re only paying for the space that your goods take up in the vehicle.
For example, if you need products transported from your store in Brisbane to your store in Melbourne, you can backload your goods onto a truck that is already due to return to Melbourne from Brisbane. Say your products take up 20% of the total load travelling from Brisbane to Melbourne; you only need to pay 20% of the cost incurred to get the truck to Melbourne.
Running a successful business in today’s economy relies on finding cost-saving hacks and efficiencies at every stage of operation. This consideration is particularly relevant when it comes to transporting goods, as travel associated costs continue to climb. Backloading freight is the simplest and most cost effective way to reduce overheads by 70% while still maintaining your business productivity.
By using truckit.net to deliver your business goods, you eliminate the need to hire transport solely for your business, maintain a driver on a retainer or purchase a vehicle for your use. This can add up to millions of dollars for businesses that rely on transport distribution networks for business operations.
You also avoid the cost of an empty truck completing the return leg of a one-way trip, which will again reduce unnecessary expenditure. If you are splitting the costs with another business or operator, you can further minimise your expenses by spreading the cost among several people. We have partner programs for companies that require special delivery services.
In our increasingly environmentally conscious environment, many customers are also seeking to engage with brands that demonstrate their corporate social responsibility by integrating environmentally friendly practices. A truck will make the same amount of emissions, whether it runs full or empty. Additionally, when you transport your products via freight backloading, you are capitalising on a truck that is already set to undertake that journey. This approach removes the need for two trucks to undergo the same route, which significantly reduces your carbon footprint.
The price of freight backloading costs on average between $450 and $875 on truckit.net. Freight backload costs can vary significantly, depending on your starting and finishing location, timeline, size of the load and any handling requirements.
While it isn’t easy to provide an exact budget, freight backloading is a much more cost-effective approach than private transport. In some cases, the savings on transportation costs can be up to 70%.
Truckit.net aims to connect customers who require delivery for their items across Australia with transit providers that can carry out the work. To ensure you receive the most competitive price, you will receive quotes from numerous operators before allowing you to choose the right option for your needs.
As Australia’s freight auction marketplace for transportation services, Truckit.net knows how important it is that goods are delivered in the exact same condition as when they were picked up.
This focus is particularly important for businesses and other organisations who rely on the quality of their goods in their daily operation. Transporting your goods via freight backloading means your possessions are treated with the same care as if they were on a privately chartered vehicle. These are the same trucks, the same driving and the same handling policies as a more traditional approach; you’re simply bringing down the price tag through load sharing.
Truckit.net has transport providers that service every state and territory of Australia. These experienced and accredited operators undergo a comprehensive vetting process before being assigned any jobs, which further ensures your products are in safe hands. If you want extra peace-of-mind, Truckit.net also recommends customers take out Single Transit Insurance for Freight Backloading.
Freight backloading can take 1 to 14 days on average using truckit.net. Every freight backloading project is different. The more notice you provide and the higher the budget will decrease turnaround times and increase provider interest in the urgency of your job. We do understand that sometimes it isn’t always possible to provide 24 hours notice, and we do our best to work around these urgent requirements too. Every provider on Truckit.net has a different schedule and availability, so the process relies on finding a driver that can cater to your type of product and the urgency of your delivery requirements.
