How backloading works
Backloading puts your belongings into available space on a truck making a long-distance journey. Other customers can use the same journey, so you pay for the space your load takes rather than booking the whole truck. We quote every backload per job, not by the hour.
It suits a household or office that does not need a truck to itself. The practical starting point is whether your load can share the journey, how much space it needs, and whether the collection and delivery dates work with that trip.
You decide what to keep in your own hands: pack and unpack yourself while we handle the truck, or hand the boxes to us as well. We can talk through the two ends of the move on 1300 303 333.
What changes when you share the truck
With a dedicated removal, one customer books the truck for the journey. With backloading, we plan your load around space on a truck that is already travelling long distance. That shared-space setup makes the amount you are moving important to the quote.
Collection and delivery also need more coordination than a local move. We need a date at each address so we can check whether the journey works before we quote it. We do not turn that long-distance work into a local hourly charge.
What belongs in the load details
The quote needs to reflect the space your belongings use. Your moving list should cover the household or office furniture going with us and flag a piano, antiques or other items that need their own moving service. If you plan to keep some things behind, leave them out of the moving list.
Why both addresses matter
Stairs, lifts and awkward access affect how we collect and deliver a load. Details from both ends help us understand the work around the shared journey, not just the road between the addresses.
When the dates leave a gap
Storage can bridge a gap if you need to leave one address before the other side is ready. That gap belongs in your enquiry so we can consider the removal and storage together.

Interstate removals
An interstate removal covers a long-distance move between states. We quote the job from the addresses, dates, load and work you want us to handle.
House removals
You can keep your own packing and unpacking, hand either stage to us, or ask us to handle both. Your furniture and packed belongings make up the space we allow for in the backload.
Office removals
We move office furniture and equipment as well as household loads. For commercial work, we offer an after-hours option when daytime moving would interrupt the business.
Packing and unpacking services
Packing help can cover the whole load or only the part you do not want to prepare yourself. Unpacking can also form part of the job at the delivery address.
Piano removals
A piano needs to appear in the load details from the start. We offer piano removals, and knowing about it early lets us consider it properly when we assess the job.
The two addresses and dates come first
Your collection address, delivery address and a date for each are all we need to get the conversation started. We will then ask about the load and the parts of the move you want us to take on before preparing a per-job quote. Primove has a 4.9-star rating from 71 Google reviews.

Why Choose Primove?
Pay for your share of the journey
Backloading uses spare truck space for your belongings. You do not have to book the entire truck when your load only needs part of it.

Choose how much help you want
You can prepare everything yourself and leave the moving to us, or include packing and unpacking in the quote.
We offer transit insurance
We can explain the transit insurance available for goods while they travel and what applies to your move before you book.
Storage can join the plan
When your collection and delivery dates leave a gap, we can include storage in the work we quote.
Questions about sharing a long-distance truck
How can I pay?
We accept major credit cards, cash and bank transfer. You can confirm the payment method for your job when you arrange the booking.
What should I tell you about stairs or awkward access?
We need to know about stairs, lifts and difficult access at the collection and delivery addresses. Those details affect the work at each end and belong in our assessment of the job.
Can you help me pack?
Yes. We can supply boxes, blankets, shrink wrap and tape, and we can also unpack at the other address. You can keep part of that work for yourself and include the rest in the quote.
Is transit insurance available?
Yes. Shared truck or not, your goods can carry their own transit insurance, and the quote sets out the cover.
How far ahead should I book?
We need the collection and delivery dates before we can check how your load fits a shared long-distance journey. You can get in touch once you know those dates so we can assess the job.
What do you need to prepare a quote?
We start with both addresses and the collection and delivery dates. We will also need an accurate list of what is moving, plus any packing, unpacking or storage you want included, before we can price the job.
Moving can be an incredibly stressful experience, but Primove made it much more manageable. My family and I recently booked them to help us move to a new house; from the beginning, it felt like we had nothing to worry about. The customer service was excellent – the team responded quickly to our questions and requests, despite how busy they were. They also took great care to ensure all our items were transported safely and arrived in the exact condition we left them in. Highly recommend Primove to anyone looking for an efficient, reliable and stress-free move!
