When moving interstate costs can accumulate quite fast. If you’re worried about the added cost of getting all your possessions to your new home safe and sound, then backloading may be music to your ears. With backloading, you can get the same great service from a removalist at the fraction of the price.

What is backloading?

So, how exactly does it work? Backloading is available for a Truck that is returning from a Moving trip empty and can carry a load back to its starting point. This lets moving companies squeeze out extra efficiency from their moving trucks and helps provide a cost-effective solution for people moving on a tight budget. It’s a great win-win as you take help the company reduce wasted space and get a good deal as well. In this article, we’ll explore a few of the enticing benefits of taking advantage of backloading for your next move.

Benefits of Backloading

1. Less Strain on the Pocket

Everyone feels the pinch when moving. Even before organising moving your belongings the entire process can be a strain on your finances – and your sanity. When you book a moving truck you’re generally booking its exclusive time for your move. Because of that, you’re often paying for the entire costs of its entire to and from journey. But, when you organise a backloading move you can stagger these costs between you and other people that happen to be on the truck’s route. This way you’ll usually only have to pay for the space in the truck your belongings take up rather than the whole truck. Backloading removalists are a cheaper choice and can be great for people who are only moving a few items and don’t need an entire truck’s worth of space.

2. No Need for Advance Booking

When booking a removalist truck, you’ll usually need to book far in advance. But often you won’t know your exact moving date until it’s very short notice. This can make it difficult and expensive to get an exclusive truck for your move. Yet, backloading doesn’t need much notice, generally needing about a week or more notice and in some cases being available on even shorter notice. This is because moving companies often have many trucks going back and forth between major cities and there’s usually extra space they can find to accommodate your belongings. It’s a common misconception that removalist trucks always travel with full loads with many having some spare space. With backloading having such flexible options, it can be a great solution to those that have to move in a hurry.

3. Specialist Transit Insurance Solutions

In all things, you should never take a cheaper option if it means having to compromise on quality. Fortunately, backloading offers the same quality of service as any other removalist service. Even though space gets shared, quality removalist companies offer goods-in-transit insurance for all items on their trucks. This way you won’t have to worry about whether your important belongings are going to make it in tact to the other side and can save some considerable teeth grinding. You should always inquire about insurance for your items especially if moving interstate. The increased distance means your items are in transit for longer and increases the chances of something outside the driver’s control from happening.

If you are moving on a budget from Brisbane to Sydney, then backloading may just be the perfect option.
