overloading

We all like to save money and getting as much as you can in one load is certainly a priority BUT make sure it's on the appropriate vehicle for the load you have. The legal term "Mass overloading" refers to trailers, Trucks and vehicles loaded above their capacity and the Transport Industry is targeting this offence now. It's a surprisingly good money maker. It's important to know about the Chain of Responsibility Laws and familiarise yourself with them to ensure your staff and beyond are covered. You can find a link to Chain of Responsibility laws under our legals menu.
If a mass overload offence occurs, charges can be brought against the:
  • driver
  • driver’s employer or prime contractor
  • operator
  • consignor
  • packer
  • loading manager
  • loader

save money on your removal

The cost of your removal can be more than you anticipated if you don't do a few vital things. Sure, if you've got the money then sit back and let us do all the work! It's what we do best. But if you're on a budget there's a few things you can do to ensure you get the best value for your buck...
Our trucks come with 2 men and are fully equipped to handle the biggest of removals. However if you're wanting to have a little cash left over for an ice cold beer after your move,  then here's a few tips.
  1. If possible move during the week. Weekend removals can incur extra rates charges, not to mention they interrupt the Footy!
  2. Pack all belongings into sturdy boxes/bags/cases. Avoid smaller loose items like game stations etc . Not only is there a chance of damage but time is wasted finding pockets to pack them securely. And Time adds up.
  3. Use bubble wrap on breakables. Not only will you save damage to your precious items, you will be able to fit more items in less boxes. Yes, it sounds crazy but it's true. Give it a try....
  4. Ensure that you move as many boxes and items into a central area nearest your door. This stops not only foot traffic through the house but cuts a large amount of removal time out.  Saving you money money money...
  5. Garden furniture and tools should all be placed near best exit point. Swing sets and items that can be dismantled should be done so prior to our drivers arriving.  
  6. Mark all box destinations in Large Bold print. Our drivers will take your boxes to their respective rooms if properly marked. A good idea is to pop a post it note on respective bedroom doors prior to removalists arrival to streamline your move further. EG: Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2 , Master
  7. Pack your own car and as many friends cars as you can find, with as many small items/boxes that you can fit in and if practical drop them at your new home prior to removal.
  8. Always ensure prior to booking that you have the keys to your new residence and that drivers will have no waiting time. You are responsible for time spent waiting around regardless if it's the real estates fault, previous owners or an Alien invasion (although the last could qualify for a discount, contact our team if the need arises)
  9. Have your payment method ready. If it's cash then make sure you have more than you estimated to cover those things that pop up, it's murphy's law! 
  10. And finally. Our guys are professionals and know how to get the job done with care in a timely manner.  There's a reason they've put Grandmas cabinet in before Grandads bar extravaganza. If you let them do their job with as little interference as possible - your bank balance will thank you......
