Whether you’re relocating for work, sending furniture to family, or completing a small interstate move, backloading helps you save money and reduce travel waste by making the most of available truck space.

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. 

A typical backloading service through Airtasker can include the following:

Coordinated route planning

Because backloading involves adding your items to an existing load or planned delivery service, your backloader will first confirm that the timing and locations align with their route. They’ll ensure there’s enough space on the truck for your belongings, then book the shared transport and arrange pickup times that fit your schedule.

If you’re still getting organised before pickup, you can also book Taskers for the disassembly of your furniture, or even end-of-lease cleaning.

Careful loading and handling

Your backloader will safely load your items onto the truck and also help ensure that everything is clearly labelled with your name and destination. Using trolleys, dollies, or a tail lift, they’ll handle heavy or bulky items with care. They’ll secure your belongings with straps and moving blankets to prevent shifting and protect them from bumps during transit.

Secure shared transport

Your items will be transported as part of a shared backload journey. This efficient method helps reduce costs while still ensuring your belongings arrive safely. The backloader may make several scheduled stops to collect or deliver other items along the route but will ensure your goods remain secure throughout the trip.

Delivery and unloading

Once your backloader reaches your destination, they’ll carefully unload your items and place them in the designated area. If someone else is receiving the delivery, your backloader will confirm successful delivery with a message or photo so you’ll know your items have arrived safely.

If you’re settling into a new home, you can easily book a Tasker to help with unpacking, furniture assembly, or move-in cleaning to get everything sorted faster.
