Top Backloading related questions

Backloading involves paying a driver for space in their vehicle for a one-way trip. Your driver may have some extra space leftover from their main delivery, or they might have an empty truck if they’re heading back from their original destination.
Backloading is a lot more affordable, because it splits the cost of travel, especially for interstate deliveries and long-distance removal. Plus, it’s better for the environment because it uses less petrol.
Most backloading vehicles are medium to large trucks that are designed for long-haul journeys, from state-to-state and city-to-city.
Yes. Most backloading services include help with loading your items on and off the truck. Some trucks will also come with trolleys and lifting systems to make this easier.

Your truck driver will take care in loading the items, as well as protecting them with towels, blankets, and packing foam where needed.

Backloading usually costs between $246-$675 when you book your service through Airtasker. But costs will vary, depending on the distance, number/size of items, and whether your driver needs to go out of their way to pick up and deliver.

What do backloading removal services include?

Whether you need long-haul, interstate backloading, or something a little more local, your backloader will start by confirming the details. Then they’ll pick up your items, transport them across the distance, and deliver them to your agreed upon location. Here’s how your backloading service will work:


Step 1: Confirming the details

Because backloading involves adding your items to an existing load or planned delivery service, this step is critical to get right. Your backloader will check that the timing and locations match up with their schedule and that they have enough space to accommodate your items. Then they’ll book the space for you and arrange pick up.


Step 2: Pick up

Picking up your items, ready for backloading, involves carefully labelling each box or item with your name and destination info. This is important, especially when multiple parties are sharing the same delivery space. Your backloader will use a trolley and/or tail lift to help move any heavy items into the truck. They’ll shuffle things around to make sure that everything fits snugly, as well as using blankets and pillows to cushion items and protect them from bumps.


Step 3: Transport & delivery

Your removalist will proceed on their journey to your items’ destination. They may make several stops along the way to pick up and deliver other items, according to their schedule. Once they arrive at your destination, they’ll help unload the items for you (or your recipient) using their trolley and/or tail lift. If you’re not the one receiving the items, they’ll send you a message to let you know they’ve been delivered.

Boxes to be added to a back load from Currumbin Qld to Kensington NSW

$500

Currumbin Waters QLD 4223, Australia

18th Aug 2025

Hi there. Looking for some boxes to be added to a back load of someone driving through the Gold Coast down to Sydney. Pick up is Storage King Currumbin and delivery to a house garage in Kensington Sydney. With pick up you park right next to the lift and the storage space is directly opposite the lift as you exit. The garage in Sydney is on steer level and you can drive straight up to it. Pics of the storage load, lift access and Sydney garage are all attached. Would like it done this week if possible anytime from Wednesday-Friday.

Tama and Lisa were very easy to communicate with. Tama collected my load of boxes from the Gold Coast and drove them to Sydney on the same day. Tama was on time, hard working and got the job done in fast time! I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable transport for an interstate delivery

Need 20 ft container moved from Kempsey to Sydney, on a backload

$1,800

East Kempsey NSW 2440, Australia

8th Aug 2025

*** hoping for a backload - I’m looking to have a container moved from Kempsey to Sydney (Guildford west). Hoping someone can do on a backload. Container is already loaded with belongings e.g. A Dryer, desk, office chairs, book shelf & supplies. It’s packed ready to go. It’s easy access with a tip truck & even easier drop off at Guildford west to a factory. I’m hoping someone can do on a backload as we are a low funded victims of crime service. Pick up needs to be before the 18th of August - any time of day or night. And drop off is very flexible, if it takes a few days longer or a week that’s no problem. Unfortunately I don’t have images as in Sydney but it’s a standard 20 foot container colour is blue.
