Your interstate moving price in 60 seconds.
Backloading puts your move on a truck that's already making the trip — you pay less, and the planet gets zero extra trucks. Every rate is published, so you never trade your phone number for a price.
129 m³ shared so far. 3.2 tonnes of CO₂ never went up.
Backloading, in 30 seconds.
Same trucks, same trips. The only thing that changes is who pays for the empty space.
Trucks come back empty
Interstate trucks are ~40% empty on the return leg. That's wasted fuel and wasted capacity.
We fill the gap
Your move shares space with cargo already heading your direction. No new trucks, no new emissions.
You save 30% — the planet wins
You pay for the space your things take up, not for a truck and driver all to yourself. Same insurance, same care, far less carbon.
Every move on a backload is a return trip you didn't pay carbon for.
A 12-tonne pantech burns about 30L of diesel per 100km. That's ~2.7kg of CO₂ per litre. When we fill the empty leg, all of that carbon is already in the air whether your stuff is on the truck or not — so your slice of the trip is effectively zero additional emissions.
- ~25kgCO₂ saved per m³ on a shared SYD↔MEL trip
- ~550kgCO₂ avoided on a typical 2-bedroom interstate move
- ~1,400kgCO₂ a single dedicated SYD↔MEL round trip emits
