Backloading Removals

BACKLOADING removals

At Twin Towns Removals, we primarily offer backloading removal services between Brisbane and Sydney. Although operating from the Mid North Coast NSW, we provide our services Australia-wide from QLD through to VIC.


Backloading is a term that’s used to describe using space in a truck on its return journey. Rather than the truck going back empty, customers can arrange to use the space, often at a reduced rate.


Backloading is a very affordable option when it comes to transport. It is commonly used by interstate transport and freight companies but is also a flexible option for Australians who plan to move house and require a removalist.

HOW DOES BACKLOADING WORK?


Backloading is usually used for long-distance moves, but there are savings to be made on shorter journeys too. Backloading is the process of adding an additional load from a separate customer to a truck that has already been requested for a primary transport or removalist job.


Using a shared backloading service can help to reduce transport costs by allowing you to only pay for the cargo space you require.


As well as saving customers money, backloading removals are a more environmentally-friendly option. After delivery, the truck must still return to the depot even if it is empty. By booking backloading removals and using that same truck rather than sending out an additional vehicle, we are reducing the number of trucks on the road, and our carbon footprint at the same time.

How to prepare for a backloading service


The team at Twin Towns Removals is fully insured for the protection of your possessions and your peace of mind, plus our experienced moving team will always take the utmost care of your fragile and breakable items.


In saying that, how your possessions are packed also plays a key role in getting them to their destination safely.

If you require assistance with your packing, we're here to help.


We provide a full packing service that will give you full peace of mind and save you hours of time and hassle that usually comes with packing.

Call Us

There are some things that you can do in the packing process to better protect your possessions, including:

  • Put a protective layer between items inside the packing boxes. The motion caused by the vehicle can cause items in boxes to collide with each other, so put a layer of protective bubble wrap, newspaper or other cushioning material between them.


  • Ensure all boxes are taped up securely so that they do not come open during the moving process.


  • Label all boxes clearly including your full name, destination address and the room the box should be placed in.


  • Boxes containing loose items like toolboxes, tackle boxes and jewellery boxes should be securely locked.


  • Any items containing fuel (like lawnmowers and whipper snippers) should be completely drained of all fluids. No gas bottles or cylinders should be packed.



  • If possible, pack any sensitive equipment like televisions and computers back into their original packaging, including Styrofoam protective casing.

  • Do I still need to label my boxes?

    We think it’s a good idea for you to label your boxes – that way, you can include handy directions for when you start unpacking – even if it’s just so you know where the biccies are.


    Our team will label all your boxes too so you can be doubly sure everything will run smoothly.

  • Will you help me to load my things onto the truck?

    Yes, there will be the correct number of specialised removalists to help you load all your belongings and get them on their way to your new home.

  • Where do Twin Towns Removals offer backloading?

    Twin Towns Removals is based in Forster and we specialise in removals and backloading throughout NSW, Queensland and Victoria. Don’t worry if your move is taking you further afield though – just get in touch for a quote and to have a chat about what you need.

  • How flexible do I need to be when booking a backloading removal service?

    You need to be pretty flexible about the day and time of your move. The beauty of backloading is that it’s making the most of otherwise empty truck space – the only downside is that there’s a degree of “right time, right place” involved. If you can be flexible about your schedule, then there’s room to save a bit of cash by using backloading.

  • Do I have to use a backloading service?

    If you prefer your removal is given personal attention, that can certainly be arranged. However, we assure you all backloading removal jobs are given the same care and priority, regardless of the size of the load. Backloading is also more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. 

  • How much does backloading removal cost?

    Fill out an online form or give our friendly team a call on 0481 288 320 to find out how to make your next house move simple and affordable with backloading removals.

  • What is backloading?

    Backloading is a strategic approach used in the removalist industry, particularly beneficial for long-distance moves. When a truck completes a delivery and is set to return to its base, it can be utilised to transport goods for another customer. This method is efficient and offers a more affordable option for those looking to move their belongings.


    At Twin Towns Removals Mid North Coast, we offer backloading removal services between major cities like Brisbane and Sydney. Our approach benefits customers in terms of cost and also contributes to a more sustainable solution, as it reduces the number of empty trucks on the road.

It's especially beneficial for those who might not have a full truckload of items but still require professional moving services.
